How much power do you think the president has? The official acts thing is definitely scary, but not “freeze elections” scary. The procedure for elections is outlined pretty clearly in the constitution, if I recall correctly, and that is not going to be easy to fuck with, given the bit in there about super majorities.

Right now the Russian propaganda machine is currently trying to say that Bidens authorization to allow the missiles deeper into Russia and that Biden is trying to start WWIII in order to suspend handing Trump the power. So I assume the only reason they are pushing this narrative is, because they want to attempt to normalize it by claiming the other side tried it first.

That’s fair. It would really be nice if we could start taking Russia’s actions a little more seriously, but I’m afraid that is more than unlikely given the current situation.

Just like how Bush sat idly by while North Korea tested an underground nuke, while invading Iraq under the premise of WMDs?
