Attorney General Todd Blanche has declined to pledge DOJ’s independence from the White House and would not rule out similar suits in other states
Donald Trump says he ordered the Department of Justice to sue the state of Alaska in an effort to block the results of a U.S. Senate election from being certified, unless the incumbent Republican wins.
Government attorneys filed a lawsuit Friday arguing that the presence of Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. on the ballot would confuse voters who support the sitting senator, Daniel S. Sullivan, in the unusual matchup of two candidates with the same name up against a Democratic candidate.
“I’m the one that said do it,” Trump told reporters Friday. “They have two Dan Sullivans.”
Trump’s admission of an extraordinary intervention in the nation’s elections follows the president’s threats to overhaul election administration and assert federal control before critical midterm elections with the balance of power in Congress, and fate of his final years in office, at stake.
His words are drivel.
Look how tiny his stupid little hand is
One of the ways to fight cancer is to cut it off with blades
I like that there are a few ways that involve shooting it with a laser.
no-one is going to enforce the constitution so perhaps it’s time to get used to living a christian nationalist nazi confederacy
I knew they wouldn’t do shit after J6. It was just disappointing to know all those “Tree of liberty needs to be watered” folk were the real bootlickers all along. Glad I got out of the US, so I don’t have to deal with that theocratic shit hole Reich that’s embedding itself into government
You filled a bag and ran bro. Not sure why you’re so proud of that. You’re a beneficiary of the burg reich who timed things well enough to avoid consequences smugly dismissing those of us still being tread on as bootlickers and it really rubs me the wrong way
Civil War is the real Halloween horror movie choice for October 2026.
If that moron had any neurons at all, he’d know to keep his plots quiet. How can someone simultaneously so stupid and evil become President of the United States?
Because a lot of Americans are fucking stupid and racist
The answer is enough stupid and evil people chose it. They literally chose the rapist, traitor liar.
He knows he doesn’t need to keep quiet because nothing is going to be done about it
He does it because there are absolutely zero consequences for him doing it.
The dude has effectively gotten away with being a rapist and a paedophile. A little thing like election interference won’t stop him.
First of all, the headline focuses on Trump’s order but fails to inform people of the more important fact that a lawsuit has actually been filed.
Government attorneys filed a lawsuit Friday arguing that the presence of Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. on the ballot would confuse voters who support the sitting senator, Daniel S. Sullivan, in the unusual matchup of two candidates with the same name up against a Democratic candidate.
Second, this has already been adjudicated, it’s a matter of state law, and the case isn’t ripe because they are suing over a hypothetical that has not happened yet.
But even if there weren’t all those other reasons to toss out the suit, the whole thing is nonsense anyway because Alaska has ranked choice voting. Anyone who is confused can pick both Daniel Sullivans. The only way it could possibly become an issue is if the two Dans come in first and second, which has effectively no chance of happening.
No, no. You don’t understand. Ranked choice voting is Dumb! And confusing!
/S
So say the advertisements I have been subjected to for the last 4 months. (Some morons are trying to repeat it, again, and their advertising campaign is LITERALLY that it is “dumb, dumb, dumb”
They did a nice job labeling the different Dans. I early voted, and apparently, I am not Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, because I am 100% certain I was able to rank the Dan I wanted to, and not rank the Dan that is a giant PoS, as one was clearly marked “incumbent”.
You seem to have an awful lot of faith in the law of a country that has a pedophile felon president.
It’s so weird how the cons have to rely on all this sort of shit.
Instead of, you know, running on a record where they are actually doing something for all of the American people.
Not just stealing the country blind and enriching themselves to the tune of billions, while throwing bones to the rabid right wing that they think will “make liberals cry again”.
Their platform sucks so they have to cheat and lie, always been this way, but enough keep choosing to make things worse and regress every other time.
Its also nuts that no one seems to take any notice.
I feel like everyone’s spare kidney is being harvested and no one actually notices.
Your body came with a spare?
Doesn’t everyone’s?
Nazi fucks are going to be Nazis.
Right, then every election will have multiple candidate with the same name and no election results will ever be valid again.
