George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽
@georgetakei@universeodon.com  ·  activity timestamp 5 days ago

States aren’t “agents” of the federal government. Amendment X: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States….” Also, our Constitution assigns to the states the administration of federal elections, dumb ass.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn (@Acyn, 10h) quoting an exchange. The text reads: “Collins: What exactly did you mean when you said that you should nationalize elections?” followed by “Trump: If you think about it, a state is an agent for the federal government in elections. I don’t know why the federal government doesn’t do them any way.” Below is a video thumbnail showing Donald Trump seated at a desk in the Oval Office, speaking while aides stand behind him. A lower-third graphic reads “TRUMP TAKES QUESTIONS FROM REPORTERS,” with C-SPAN branding and a “LIVE” indicator.

@georgetakei Why continue the present the system in which the candidate receiving the most votes isn’t the winner? The world would be in s much better place if Hillary’s substantial vote advantage would have made her the President.

@georgetakei To President Trump: You obviously are completely unaware of the simple fact, "It's The Constitution stupid."

Every breath he takes
And every move he makes
Every bond he breaks
Every step he takes
He keeps copying Putin

There isn't a single #Amendment in the Bill of Rights that #MafiaDon hasn't violated or threatened.

Bill of Rights under Trump.

@georgetakei notice how nobody is stopping him, not the left , not the right, nobody is stepping in this is why I get so sad when I see the left fighting the right, tribalistic people fighting each other don't realize that these corrupt politicians have other plans in mind and they will follow through because they're all complicit and they all stand to make a lot of money and power as a result, tribes/sides NEED TO STOP fighting each other start fighting the monster(s).

When #Trump says states "can't handle" elections, he means "can't rig them in his favor."

@georgetakei Huh, whyever would he want do make such a change?

"Donald Trump told Christians on Friday that if they vote for him this November, "in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote.""

@georgetakei

And part of the reason for it, is to stop exactly what he's trying to do.

Much harder to rig 50+ separate elections, than it is to just have one federal department under the control of a singular appointed loyalist do it.

Why would agents of the government have their own constitutions? Make it make sense.

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
