If there are lCE guys at the polls making trouble, let alone fighting of any sort, that will demolish voter turnout. Could affect senate races and other statewide races in states where it is close.

This is why I believe that the Dems should insist that no ICE presence at polling stations no matter what. Voting by illegals has never been an issue and the penalties are pretty extreme. Hope we get firm agreements on this while anti ICE sentiments are riding high.

I don't see firm agreements happening. These midterms are the crisis of the crisis. The regime sees its survival as at stake, and we must see the survival of democracy at stake. A disrupted election must be considered 'no election,' until democracy is restored by other means.

If lCE guys are making trouble they better hope they suppress enough votes to throw the results in favor of Repubs. If there's trouble, if the media covers it, if there's a Blue wave, ICE-CBP-HS whatever will get defanged because of obvious partisan election meddling.

If ICE thugs decide to take strolls around polling stations, even at the usual designated distances, will keep a lot of the voters away.

If they do, only option is to leave the field like Cheney and a few others. Few would want that option so they recede into the woodwork. Its MAGA or political death.

Hot otff the press: DJT is now readying to attack Iran while his team is negotiating with them? He will drop a $100M worth of bombs, claime we won and call it a day while another week will go by with Epstein files off the front pages. Or since department like CDC and DHS are in deep shit and this will be a good smokescreen. Oil prices will start going up again, so much for affordability but here in Reno and Norcal where prices are almos the same, Regular is still north of $4. But with all three vehicles being 4cyl turbo, they need premium especially at thi high altitude.

I was referring to Republican voters. You know, the ones who showed up and showed up angry at those town hall meetings. The ones the party leadership called paid agitators. Not included in this group are the MAGA cult members.
As for those "officeholders", hopefully those not Fool-Aid drunk will see fit to fire them.

Great News which with all things Trump will create a mess.

SCOTUS ruled that the DJT tariffs are unconstitutional.
Mess comes from how the tariffs that have been paid are dealt with, especially businesses who paid ridiculous amount of tariffs, at times a moving target with numbers arbitrarily adjustedd at his whim.

Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s sweeping tariffs

Quote:
The Supreme Court on Friday struck down most of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, a ruling that deals a major blow to his signature economic policy and represents a stinging political setback.

The justices ruled the president did not have the authority under a 1977 emergency economic powers law to impose a vast array of import levies on goods from nearly all of the nation’s trading partners.
