WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday he won’t sign any other legislation into law until Congress passes a strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill that he says also must end Americans' ability to vote by mail, a startling demand months before the midterm elections.

Trump told House Republicans during their annual retreat at his golf club in Florida that he doesn't think they will win elections unless voting laws are toughened up to prevent fraud — even though mail ballots are popular in many states and federal law already requires that voters in national elections be U.S. citizens, with scant evidence that noncitizens ever try to vote.

So he's pretty much admitting they need to cheat to win.

1. It won't shock me at all

If they do a carve out on the filibuster for this.

4. Not going to happen

6. I hope you are right

7. Eliminating the filibuster for any reason will open it up for Democrats to completely

do away with it when they are in charge, which they will surely do. There's enough Republicans terrified of that so that they will never vote to change it now. Thune has repeatedly said that and it appears there is no chance of that changing.

2. There is no other forthcoming legislation for him to sign into law. And even if there was,

if he doesn't sign it within ten days it goes into effect automatically, if Congress is in session. If Congress isn't in session it doesn't go into effect. So it doesn't matter what the hell he does.

8. Isn't there a pending funding bill for DHS?

(TSA long lines)

3. Note to all those who are elderly and can only vote by mail

Democracy has effectively ended for you, if republicans get their way.

5. Thune has already said No Dice

The SAVE act will be blocked by the filibuster, since Thune refuses to consider changing the rules.
