He must really hate the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. You know that document he “swore” to support and defend?

    How about that “minor update” to the voting machines in the swing states? Nationalize the elections for the Government of Putin shows the vast influence Vlad and his Russian thugs have in the US government.

      FYI, in Slavic languages ,the name Vladimir is properly shortened to Vova (Вова), and the name Vlad is the abbreviation for Vladislav

    Just as a reminder:

    US Constitution Provisions

    1. Article I, Section 4 (Elections Clause)

      • Grants states primary authority to set “Times, Places and Manner” of congressional elections.
      • Allows Congress to override state regulations, ensuring federal oversight.
      • Originally, states determined voter eligibility (e.g., property ownership), but the Constitution required alignment with state legislative voter qualifications for House elections.
    2. Presidential Elections (Article II, Section 1)

      • Establishes the Electoral College, with states appointing electors “in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct”.
      • The Constitution specifies minimal qualifications for electors, leaving selection processes to states.
    3. Amendments Expanding Voting Rights

      • 15th Amendment (1870): Prohibits denying the vote based on “race, color, or previous condition of servitude”.
      • 19th Amendment (1920): Bans sex-based voting restrictions.
      • 24th Amendment (1964): Eliminates poll taxes in federal elections.
      • 26th Amendment (1971): Lowers voting age to 18.

    US Code (Title 52)

    Title 52 of the US Code, titled “Voting and Elections”, codifies federal laws enforcing constitutional voting rights:

    • 52 U.S.C. §10101: Explicitly prohibits racial discrimination in voting and mandates uniform voter qualifications.

    • Voting Rights Act of 1965 (52 U.S.C. §§10301–10702):

      • Bans discriminatory practices (e.g., literacy tests) and requires federal preclearance for election law changes in jurisdictions with historical discrimination .

      • Directly implements the 15th Amendment, leading to a surge in Black voter registration post-1965.

      • Subtitle II: Addresses election administration, including voter registration and accessibility standards

    You murcans amaze me. Your country is circling the drain at the hands of a person who is a serial rapist, conman, pedofile, bankrupt, thief and more. Yet you concern yourself with whether or not he’s honouring his ‘word’ to obey your laws?

      And the thing for me is I genuinely don’t think anyone has ever been more blatantly these things. Like so obviously evil. Cartoonishly so.

    He’s not done anything to support it in the past, why would he start now?

    He also hates all the other amendments and the rest of the constitution as well. For Hume it’s all a roadblock preventing (or slowing it seems) him from becoming an all powerful dictator for life.

    Trump knows only one amendment, the TRUMP AMENDMENT, in it says “i can do whatever i want, say whatever i want because i’m such a bastard even my shit is abandoning me and i don’t care how much i fuck up or how many lives i destroy, i’ll take as much as i can down before i go” so the others don’t exist anymore.

    Go ahead and try to organize that for yourself, without congressional funding to run it (because that would not be constitutional). It’s meaningless if the states don’t fund and run them. We can talk about an amendment if you really want but he’ll die long before it kicks in.

      Well unless states start to stand up for themselves and actually withhold tax payments; he’s going to appropriate the funds from other federal programs to impose his desires. Anyone that doesn’t participate will just be marked as ‘non-voter’ leaving nothing but his supporters to assert his position as King.

    Well, right now, sure.

    He hates most of the constitution, though.

    Too many syllables and not enough pictures.
