Doin’ What Comes De-Naturally – Or the “Big Rig Voter Scam”

The Biggest Voter Fraud in US History, Badly Disguised as a Quest for Election Integrity

"It's just off the charts. No other president has done anything like this." 

 James Pfiffner, a presidential expert at George Mason University, on Trump family grift and enrichment thru the Trump Presidency.

"I don't think I'm exaggerating. I would say if you added all the previous corruption of all [past presidents]…Trump, individually, surpasses them all.”

Barabra Perry, co-chair of the presidential oral history program at the University of Virginia's Miller Center.

The Republican congressional unwavering “whatever you want, Mr President, even if it screws our Base” support of TACO Trump’s agenda ensures that the GOP will most probably lose control of Congress (perhaps even both houses) at the midterms. Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill truly was an extraordinary billionaire giveaway, a deficit buster to boot, as have been the “good for business” (but bad for virtually all individual American) preferences, waivers of the minimal regulations remaining, the slash and burn of medical and nutritional programs, and the removal of federal enforcement and tax collection officers to the absolute delight of the spoiled rich. The raw and obvious “quid pro quo” of “donate to Trump’s pet projects and ye shall receive blessings and largesse” from the Trump administration are painfully obvious in Trump’s “no taxpayer dollars needed” for unnecessary gold-fetish-driven monuments and buildings, like the completely garish and tasteless White House Trump ballroom.

Add to this egotistical waste, the grift of Trump relatives openly making millions/billions from their connection to the White House. Jared Kushner (son-in-law) as the US negotiator all over the Middle East, using his position of power to solicit $5B in investment funds from regional powers (over the $2B he already raised). Or the awarding of 200,000 shares to Eric Trump in Foundation Future, a robotics firm that somehow generated a $24M deal with the Pentagon where robots they will be used to inspect and transport weapons in Ukraine. Young Trump said he wanted to help the US remain competitive with China. Grift rules. A mega-jet from Qatar, Trump hotels and resorts springing up all over. Crypto-billions. Real estate billions. Investment fund billions.

It is this same Donald John Trump who wants to take the “integrity” high ground in his quest to discover fraud in American elections?! It is Trump’s obsession with his 2020 loss to Joe Biden, despite losing 60 lawsuits in which fraud was dismissed as unproven, and his facing a virtual certainty of a GOP midterm loss of control over at least the House of Representatives (and now even the Senate), that makes Trump more obsessed in ensuring that he will not face any Democratic majority in any of these legislative bodies with subpoena or congressional stopping power… or even the ability of the House to impeach him. Federal officials, from US Attorneys to enforcement agencies are now acutely aware that not only must they prosecute Trump’s opponents but that must force states to disgorge any election information that Trump requires to “eliminate fraud” from the approaching midterms. As has happened with a “bad warrant” FBI seizure of election ballots in Georgia.

Fearing losing his job, FBI Director Kash Patel (under fire from many sides), has pledged to investigate the 2020 loss and assured the President that arrests will be made. In March, Trump issued executive orders to the US Postal Service – only to send ballots to citizens on the state’s approved mail-in ballot list, with ballots to have secured envelopes with barcodes for tracking – and one that would require newly appointed Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, aided by the Social Security Administration, to create a list of verified U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote. Trump administration officials are now demanding that each state provide it voting rolls so it can remove what it believes are questionable registrations. States are resisting!

GovFacts.com summarizes the constitutional requirements surrounding elections, which Trump seeks to restructure via illegal executive orders: “Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 gives states the primary authority to regulate federal elections. That includes everything: voter registration systems, polling place locations, ballot design, vote counting procedures, certification processes.

“Congress gets a role too—but only through legislation. The same constitutional provision states that ‘the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations.’ Congress can pass bills that establish federal requirements for elections. The president can then sign those bills into law. But the president can’t simply issue an executive order and expect it to override state election procedures. That’s not how the constitutional hierarchy works… Presidential elections operate under Article II, Section 1—each state appoints presidential electors in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.’ States choose how to run their presidential elections. The federal executive doesn’t.”

As if Trump’s clearly illegal effort to control who can vote weren’t bad enough, he is now seeking not only to reverse the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship but also to denaturalize American citizens – read: too many non-white people were allowed citizenship in a Democratic Party effort to “replace” white majority rule – with test cases in anticipation of denaturalization efforts over thousands of innocent new American citizens:

“The Justice Department confirmed Thursday [4/23] it has moved ahead with multiple referrals to strip citizenship from those who have naturalized, assigning cases to U.S. attorney offices across the country… It’s an unusual push for several reasons. Denaturalization of foreign-born citizens is rare and usually only done in cases when someone committed fraud in pursuit of immigrating to the U.S., or if they committed certain disqualifying crimes.

“The process is also usually carried out by attorneys specializing in immigration, rather than by line prosecutors… ‘The Department of Justice is laser-focused on rooting out criminal aliens defrauding the naturalization process. Under the leadership of President Trump and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Department is pursuing the highest volume of denaturalization referrals in history, thanks to close partnerships,’ with immigration agencies, Matthew Tragesser, DOJ’s deputy director for communications, said in a statement.” Rebecca Beitsch writing for the April 23rd The Hill.

I’m Peter Dekom, and Trump is so used to getting his way – even able to wage war – with a pliable “look the other way” Republican controlled Congress and a Supreme Court with rightwing appointees even granting Trump a hitherto unknown immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts,” that Trump now believes his election executive orders can repeal constitutional election mandates, transferring election control to him personally.
