Is Trump planning another January 6 insurrection?

Angie Sullivan 0:04
Thank you for joining us. It's Jennifer and Josh Welch. And we have to ask the question, is Trump trying to create another January 6? And think about it. He keeps talking about wanting to pay the slush fund. He wants to reward people that commit crimes for him. specifically people that are willing to commit felonies to overthrow an election. And this week, the Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration's request for new unprecedented mail-in voting restrictions. Josh, tell us about that.
Josh Welch 0:38
Well, the court ruled, obviously, that President Trump could not use the United States Postal Service for this mail ballot. Basically, didn't give a long opinion. This was on the emergency shadow docket. None of the justices signed that opinion. I think it was only maybe two paragraphs. There were two notable dissents, obviously, from the two bootlickers. You've got Justice Thomas and Justice Alito that protested. President Trump could literally take a shit on the White House lawn and they would probably vote that that was that he had a constitutional right to do that. They would do whatever this man says. So it's no surprise that he did not have those two. But I mean, this is pretty it's a it's a huge victory for Democrats, because if that executive order were to be implemented, it would throw the election cycle into complete chaos.

It's not legal, but assuming that the court did allow it, there's not enough time to implement it either. So it would have opened the door for the federal government to intervene in state elections and given Trump the right to make these false claims and use his authority and power in that way to impede the will of the American people. So this was a huge victory for the American people and the people doing the hard work taking these cases to the Supreme Court. The lawyers, kudos to them. They deserve credit.

All right, and here's some tidbits from this, what Trump wants. Trump's plan would have required states to provide lists of voters' names approved to receive mail ballots, require specific barcodes on envelopes, which would require a rushed redesign of ballots ahead of elections, and use USPS to screen ballot envelopes after they are submitted.

What did the Supreme Court decide about Trump’s mail‑in voting restrictions?

Angie Sullivan 2:22
So, number one, My whole life, all I have heard about is states' rights from conservatives. States' rights. I believe they overturned my right to go to an OBGYN and have a private appointment because they valued states' rights. Conservatives did. But conservatives believe in absolutely nothing. They want states' rights when they can take away people's rights. And now that they have the federal government, they want a big, overreaching federal government. And poof, guess what's happened? The don't tread on me crowd are now all ICE agents, the people who warned and went bananas about, oh, the federal government. We have to be a well-armed militia. Well, now they are a well-armed Gestapo-style militia. force for Donald Trump.
Angie Sullivan 3:11
I imagine that Samuel Alito's wife has had to change her flag collection quite a bit, considering the don't tread on me folk are now big federalists and they're all about the big federal government. Democrats and voting rights groups have said that Trump's plan is unconstitutional, a danger to our democratic process, and would deny millions the ability to vote. But I also want to get back to, Josh, the lists. Whenever you think of fascist governments, authoritarian governments, and you think of lists, very unsavory historical things come to mind. And so this is something that the don't tread on me crowd should be leading on. And again, I point this out to show that conservatism is solely about eroding civil liberties and handing big fat checks to rich people.
Angie Sullivan 4:07
They are a death cult. And Donald Trump had a complete truth social meltdown about this, which is basically just a Tuesday in America today. And he says Republicans just got another bad decision from the United States Supreme Court, one that the court system took forever to give and then blamed it in part on no time left to implement a solution to our totally corrupt and out of control mail-in voting disaster, which is a laughingstock all over the world.
