View submission: 'Trump warns presidential election result may not be known for 'years,' as allegations grow he's undermining the USPS to rig the election

laws haven't stopped many politicians from doing many things, and Trump is the most transparent about his willingness to skirt laws, so I'm very surprised how many people still think shouting "uh uh uh, the constitution says you can't do that mr Trump" will make any difference.

It’s because staying as commander in Chief isn’t something you can do by ignoring laws, you need the military to not just ignore those laws but actively mobilize to break them on your behalf.
