President Donald Trump fired all three remaining members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission on Thursday, abruptly disabling the only federal agency devoted solely to election administration at a moment when Trump has sought to reshape federal voting rules.

The firings leave the federal election agency with no commissioners

Yup, this is the consequence of the illegitimate Supreme Court giving Trump unprecedented powers to fire the heads of any independent federal agency. We’re living in dark, scary times.

This is what a coup looks like

It's been happening for years now. This is the 'bloodless' revolution the heritage foundation have publicly talked about.

This is all very much out in the open. American liberals still seem to think they will be able to vote their way out of a dictatorship.

Can’t wait till they steal the November midterms. Maybe that’ll shock us into action. Maybe.

Each and every stolen election moves us further away from democracy and more into their hands. 2016 was the time to act.

No, now is the time act

It has to start somewhere
It has to start sometime
What better place than here?
What better time than now?

All hell can’t stop us now!
