This won't be a popular opinion and although I hate Trump to an immeasurable level, I listened to his whole speech (followed by a bottle of mind-bleach). The "you won't have to vote anymore" soundbite seemed to be in the context of his rant that the Dems will cheat the vote again with mail-in ballots, early voting, etc.. and therefore he needs the lazy christian voters to get out and vote this one time so he can win and once he wins he will fix the voting problem and therefore the lazy voters can go back to being lazy in 2028 because he won't need their votes due to a fixed system....
Obviously anything goes with Trump and how he intends to "fix" the problem is a big concern up to and including there won't be a need to vote by then, however the whole context isn't directly getting rid of the need for anyone to vote, but rather the lazy people won't need to <<insert shoulder shrug here>>
I haven't looked at his suggestion, but I've long thought lifetime tenure for federal judges (not just SCT justices) was a mistake. I'd like to see SCT judges have 18 year terms, staggered so every 2 years one is being replaced. With an 18 year term limit, you'd see older people appointed to the SCT, instead of people in their 40s. And you'd see people off the bench before they start declining mentally due to age. And there needs force federal judges to comply with an ethics code.
Trump's "You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians" comment (https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-saying-you-wont-have-vote-four-years-sparks-fear-1931054) is not even worth a Quick Hit or a Cheap Shot?
What are we doing here?
What truly revolted me about that comment was the thought of the people who were just lapping it up.

Funny, just like the "bloodbath" thing. Always a back door.
Once you develop a reputation for talking gibberish, life just kind of falls into place, doesn't it? Anything can mean anything.
They're probably saving it for JVL's piece later today.
Yeah, but they could have at least done a Cheap Shot, she said grumpily.
To me, that comment seemed epochal.
(two hours later ...) yeah no.
It wasn't in the Washington Post this morning. But President Biden's OpEd on the Supreme Court was there at first billing.
