Soros: Trump “remains very dangerous,” because “he’s fighting for his life and he will do anything to stay in power.” - [PEACE]

Soros lays down the law for November: apparently according to Soros, Trump is "fighting for his life" in this upcoming election. It does not surprise me that Skull & Bones "graduates" would lay down such principles. Do not take November for granted folks. George Soros Discusses “Revolutionary Moment,” Market Bubble, Punishing Trump After Election http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/george-soros-discusses-revolutionary-moment-m… Don’t put any of this in a bad light. If you said it like it was bad, that would be an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. MarketWatch: … ‘We are in a crisis, the worst crisis in my lifetime since the Second World War. I would describe it as a revolutionary moment when the range of possibilities is much greater than in normal times. What is inconceivable in normal times becomes not only possible but actually happens. People are disoriented and scared. They do things that are bad for them and for the world.’ “Even in the United States, a confidence trickster like Trump can be elected president and undermine democracy from within,” he said. “But in the U.S. you have a great tradition of checks and balances and established rules. And above all you have the Constitution. So I am confident that Trump will turn out to be a transitory phenomenon, hopefully ending in November.” Until then, however, Soros warned that Trump “remains very dangerous,” because “he’s fighting for his life and he will do anything to stay in power.” He added that Trump will be held accountable for his violations of the Constitution if he loses the presidency. ...

US House proposes New Voting Amendment
by Se7en 12 Aug '20

12 Aug '20

The United States House of Representatives has proposed a new constitutional amendment. Debate has yet to start. The text in-full is the following: > JOINT RESOLUTION > Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States > regarding the right to vote. > Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United > States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House > concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an > amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be > valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when > ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States > after the date of its submission for ratification: > ``Article-- > ``Section 1. Every citizen of the United States, who is of legal > voting age, shall have the fundamental right to vote in any public > election held in the jurisdiction in which the citizen resides. > ``Section 2. Congress shall have the power to enforce and implement > this article by appropriate legislation.''. The source for this is at <https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/BILLS-116hjres93ih>. The immediate problem that becomes apparent is that this legalizes felons to vote again, and further relies heavily on the ever-changing definition of "citizen", which is already questionable under the 14th Amendment (should you believe the Legalese Religion's interpretation of it). -- |-----/ | Se7en / The One and Only! | se7en(a)cock.email / | 0x0F83F93882CF6116 / | https://se7en-site.neocities.org
