  • The EAC supports elections but doesn’t run them, states and counties do that. So firing all its members freezes a federal support office, not the election machinery itself.

    Think of it as the standards lab that certifies equipment and hands out funds, not the referee on the field. The main effects:

    • Frozen certification of new voting machines (existing ones stay valid). So new companies can’t provide new equipment. Possibly means ‘the fix is in’ by Musk or associates

    • No rule changes to the federal registration form — which also blocks the administration from adding things like proof-of-citizenship before November. So this looks more like the regime is shooting it’s own foot here.

    • Stalled grants and guidance to states.

    Bottom line: it’s closer to paralysis than takeover, and it doesn’t change how you vote. The real open question is legal — whether firing bipartisan election commissioners survives a court challenge… if it is ever challenged in court by the dormant democrats.














  • You’re taking it too literal.

    It’s just a “oops I didn’t know this wasn’t a urinal - looked like other people already peed in it”. This statue is real and is permanently peeing (facing the camera) in Belgium.

    It’s paraphrasing that the USA team’s arrogance during this tournament, but mostly the orange pedophile having a sudden opinion about something he completely doesn’t understand. It’s laughing at actions taken despite complete ignorance and arrogance.

    But mostly it’s just a delicious cartoon that echoes the world’s sentiment really well and works even if you don’t know the backstory of the pool or the peeing dude.
