He is fucking nutz. President Donald Trump has threatened to sue Nevada. Please make it stop.

He has no idea or clue about anything. Presidents can not file a civil law suit against a state as far as
I know and I have watched a lot of Sam Watterson on Law and Order too.



Trump threatens to sue Nevada to stop universal mail-in ballots.

President Donald Trump has threatened to sue Nevada after Democratic politicians passed a bill that would send mail-in ballots to every voter ahead of November's presidential election in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump, who has claimed without evidence that voting by mail will lead to rampant fraud, wrote on Twitter on Monday that the legislation approved on Sunday was an "illegal late night coup".

"Using Covid to steal the state," he added. "See you in Court!"

1. He's also floating the idea of issuing Executive Orders regarding this.

John Yoo seems to have convinced the White House that anything is possible, the president has unlimited power if he crafts his Executive Orders in some particular way.

I don't know if it can succeed, but I don't doubt he'll try. Because who, or what, is going to stop him?

Edited to include Washington Post article:

Trump wants to be king. Did John Yoo just hand him the crown?

Some judge would just laugh it out of court. But you are right it is just "Trump Chaos."

Nevada didn't agree to "Mail-In Ballots" Nevada agreed to "Absentee" ballots..

Then add- ""Mail-In Ballots" is just a lib-tard conspiracy to confuse you, your worship, but we all know your genius brain is far too brilliant to be taken in so easily"
