Trump vows not to sign any new laws until GOP bypasses Dems to pass voter suppression bill

Trump vows not to sign any new laws until GOP bypasses Dems to pass voter suppression bill

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-save-act-2675835468/

Trump over the weekend took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to congratulate a right-wing operative for his Fox News appearance.

"Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS," the president wrote. "It must be done immediately."

Trump went on to issue a panicked plea, saying the bill "supersedes everything else."

"MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION - GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY - ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN! DO NOT FAIL!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

...then a LOT OF PEOPLE will NOT BE VOTING.

I don't know how many people have a copy. I "did," I may still have it, because when I moved here I needed it for the DMV.

But people DO NOT PAY ATTENTION...Trump is COUNTING ON THIS...and they'll show up without it, and if they can't run back home and grab it, they won't be able to vote.

That's his plan.

That are either just or promote the general welfare. Other than not shutting the tatters of the Government down again.

It's not a threat. It's an inducement.

Trump doesn't even know how a bill becomes a law. The other day he had a bunch of these AI creepos "pledge" to pay for their data centers. It's like, "My guy, you know you can just propose legislation and have Congress pass it that requires them to cover energy costs for data centers, right?"

No, it was a "pledge" at some goofy Oval Office event.

Everything by decree for the Little King Donald John.
