The entire premise of this war with Iran is ridiculous. And who is trump to say that Iran should never be allowed to have an atomic bomb? Countries all over the world have atomic bombs. North Koreans Kim Jong nut-ball, the man that trump said he “fell in love with” has about 60 nuclear weapons. Can you imagine what people would say if Joe Biden had said that he "fell in love" with the dictator from north korea? He would be eviscerated. But for trump this is normal speaking behavior. And let's not forget that five years ago, trump led a violent insurrection at our nation's capital. He told his supporters to go there and "fight like hell, or they wouldn't have a country any more". His supporters attacked the Capitol, attacked the police protecting the capitol, got into the capitol and carried confederate flags, and were shouting things like "Hang Mike Pence", because the vice president wouldn't agree to trump's demand that he decertified the true election results. Trump watched all the violence on tv and DID NOTHING. to intervene. Many police officers that help defend the capitol later committed suicide, because they were so traumatized by this ugly and horrible event. Trump is full of s**t, and is a crazy, demented, mean-spirited old man. And he's getting worse by the day. His next birthday he will be 81, and his declining cognitive health will be more and more obvious to everyone that listens to him. He gets his words mixed up and often he can't even pronounce things, let alone utter sentences that make sense. And it serves the American people right, in some ways, because they voted for this idiot maniac, Trump! TWICE! Trump said he would put an end to foreign wars and lower the cost of living for Americans. Instead, he bombs, Iran. Even though they posed no imminent threat. and as a result of the war that trump started, the American consumer is paying much more money for gasoline, for housing, for transportation, for health care, and many other things. Trump is a clear and present danger to the United States and to the entire world. Quite frankly, I am ashamed to be an American citizen. It will take many years to undo the damage that Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump have done to the United States reputation, and its place in the world. This corrupt and idiotic Trump administration cannot end soon enough! Sincerely, David Morris who was born long ago in Fort Wayne Indiana.
You and others are absolutely right to be concerned about election interference. Fortunately, I think it will be harder to interfere in the actual election because so many states have either early voting or mail-in voting or both. But interference after the votes are in is a probability, not a possibility.
The other thing I think will happen is that if the predicted Democratic wave or tsunami actually happens, the two months of a lame duck administration will look more like a trapped crocodile. The executive branch, with Vought and Miller at its head, will do everything in its power to complete the destruction they began as soon as the new term began. They've already completed an astonishing number of their Project 2025 objectives, and they will try to finish the job. It will be a more dangerous time than any we have faced as a nation including the actual Civil War, because the full weight of the federal government will be trained on us.
I also think it's likely that if the Ds win a majority of the Senate, Alito will resign immediately and the majority will push through another MAGA justice like they did with Barrett. Schumer has already said he will follow McConnell's lead and block any judicial appointments. (It's worth noting that he seems to assume he will be the Majority Leader in that case.) They'll try to finish packing the courts during those two months as well.
Off-topic: why is the background color of the comments page black??? It's very hard to read.

Wise words: “If officials are worried about federal interference, that changes how I read the rest.”
