🇺🇸 I'm surprised to see a republican #US president talking or joking about a third term. Wouldn't the necessary constitutional change directly challenge the #conservative principles of their voter base?

Isn't this something #democrats & #republicans would agree on? 🤷

FACT FOCUS: Dem leaders' challenge to Trump's election executive order misrepresented online

Social media users, incl elected #GOP officials, are erroneously claiming top #Dems filed a lawsuit to allow noncitizen #voting in US #elections.

It's a brazen lie.

Demagogue

The point is reached where ballots are used to ruin #democracy just as effectively as bullets. #Elections resemble rowdy plebiscites, public rituals, carnivals of political seduction, or celebrations of the mighty power of the state, endorsed by the votes of millions of loyal followers.

Talk of conspiracies, scapegoating, boastful exaggerations, clownery, and bullshit continue to be spread by media organs loyal to the demagogue.

Regional Queensland mystifies politicians, but voters 'just want the basics'
By Lucy Sweeney and Nathan Morris

In Queensland, more people live outside the capital city than in it. Come on a 3,000km trip into deep Katter country to see what's really behind the regional divide.

#NorthCarolina's #Republican majority Court of Appeals sided w/the GOP candidate in a suit contesting last year's State #SupremeCourt #election.

The decision could result in ~64k ballots being thrown out, handing the election to the Republican instead of the Democratic Justice who won.

The case will likely be appealed.

"He offered cash rewards of $100 for filling out his petition against activist judges, $20 for canvassing, and $1 million in a sweepstakes (which was won by spokespeople)."

So he offered the smallest amount imaginable from the richest person on Earth to the only ones among this group who actually did any work. That's how he thinks. Offering more than $20 as a wage would go against his morals of exploiting the working class. smfh

Ok, this is really good, Yoon is out. All justices agreed, no hint of dissent. Now to the spaces outside the court, assembly, etc. — hopefully Yoon's fashy little minions will go home peacefully and have themselves a nice long cry in private.

New election to be held by June 3.

Bytes Europe · German leaders push for tough response to Trump tariffs in hope of détente later – POLITICO“But the question is, as always, how do you get there?” he added. “I advocate that Europe acts firstly with unity and secondly with determination. We are in a strong position. We can join forces with many countries, with many regions of the world and increase the pressure on the Americans accordingly.” With its export-driven economy, few countries around the world are as vulnerable to Trump’s tariff threats as Germany.
