At NYT, Ken Vogel writes about 2 Trump advisors traveling to #Srpska (the Serbian sliver of Bosnia-Herzegovina) to help the pro-Russian government run its campaign. At the same time, Mike Flynn happens to be in Srpska to pimp his propaganda film. (Funnily, both Vogel & Flynn have blocked me on X).

They told us what powers they believe he has if they invoke EO13848 in combination with certain emergency powers. Then, they'll have DHS seize voting machines and likely re-run the election in chosen counties using the 'purple thumb' method like it was done by USAID & Mil in Iraq.
