And multiple state election officials have said they are not receiving any briefings on possible foreign threats to election security from the federal government. Such briefings were once a regular occurrence, they said.
During the first Trump administration, “we were collaborative — carrots rather than sticks,” said one of the former officials, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. The second Trump administration is “very much focused on sticks.”
One election official in a swing state said the difference from 2024 is stark, saying that “it’s every state for themselves.” The official spoke on the condition of anonymity over concerns about retaliation from federal officials. During the last cycle, the state official said they had a regional federal cybersecurity expert “on speed dial” who could “see the whole puzzle.”

For the millionth time. October is martial law, that’s when shit gets real. No more elections, just right-wing until a revolution. Which wont be in our lifetime.
Just brace for impact. All the stuff you could have done but didn’t is no longer gonna work. Just accept your new reality.

So you're at 6:00 on the chart. "You won't do it, you're too weak pussies," except it's more in the past tense.

You're doing obvious troll things. I tend to let it go when you're trolling me, but I think I'm going to go ahead and give you a few days break. Just until your shift is over.

Not surprising that you moderate everybody you disagree with
