I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

A number of people responding to Jamelle seem desperate for elections not to happen, whether it's a good-faith freakout or they're plants for Putin et al. (or why not both?).
What they don't do is provide any (even the remotest) evidence of the end of democracy.

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

Jeff Bezos is no stranger to issues of press freedom. He got a lot of goodwill when helping WaPo's Jason Rezaian get out of Iran. He stood with Khashoggi's wife after the Saudi gov murdered him.
Which makes his silence on one of WaPo's reporters getting raided on home soil all the more salient.

set aside whether it is legal or not. what do you think an executive order is, and what do you think the relationship of the president is to a governor or state secretary of state is? do you think the president is their boss?
I think my question is, if he issues an executive order cancelling the election, even if it isn't legal, if a bucketful of states comply on some level, what impact would that have on the overall election. Can it theoretically just be sandbagged by a handful of intransigent states?
