Slotkin Moves To Block Troops At The Polls, Obama Leaves Trump Off The Guest List, and Public Pressure Forces The Regime

TRUMP WASN’T INVITED

I stood next to Barack Obama the day he was sworn in back in 2009. So watching him open his presidential center on Thursday meant something special to me. Every living former president was there—Clinton, Bush, Biden. Donald Trump wasn’t invited.

Obama never said Trump’s name—he didn’t have to. He spoke instead of the values that hold a democracy together. Among them, that “our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party, but to the people and our Constitution.”

SLOTKIN DRAWS THE LINE AT THE BALLOT BOX

Trump won’t rule out putting soldiers at your polling place. But this week, Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan moved to make sure he can never do it.

Her bill is called the Protect Our Polls Act. It exists because Trump keeps telling us, out loud, what he intends to do. Last month, asked directly whether he’d send troops to the polls for the midterms, he wouldn’t rule it out. “I’d do anything necessary,” he said. He’s already sent agents to seize ballots and voter records in Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan.
