Go get em GEOTUS!

I linked to a CNN article about Virginia's passing of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact bill, but with mail-in voting being pushed I think the timeline of this scenario just moved up drastically, especially due to the chaos that is going to ensue in November due to the CV economic crisis. Below is my quote back then, may be similar but much more widespread with voter fraud challenges:

"So here's the scenario: The presidential race is a tightly contested one. It's coming down to one state, the state of Virginia, for example. The Republican wins the popular vote there, but because of California and New York, loses the popular vote nationally. Virginia, because of their new law, gives all their electoral votes to the Democrats, but this is immediately challenged by the Republican. Now we have an all-out blitz by both candidates claiming victory, with lawsuits galore challenging every aspect of the laws and their interpretation.

Protests are rampant across the country, with both sides claiming victory with no doubt in their mind. Antifa, liberals, illegals, most even normal citizens of historically liberal states, and all sorts of vermin one side, with Proud Boys, KKK, Neo-Nazis, general far-right troublemakers and likely most of the rest of traditional conservative America on the other side. Clashes ensue, but our police forces, though taxed are able to quell most of the major clashes and violent tendencies.

Because of the nature and importance of the issues, all of the lawsuits are fast-tracked to the Supreme Court, which is tasked with deciding the legitimacy of the Interstate Compact Laws. Depending on the timing, the court is either now solidly conservative, or has been packed by a Democratic President, and is now marginally liberal. Assuming the most likely scenario, the court rules the Compact unconstitutional, and orders Virginia and other states to allow the Republican party to assign its electors according to its own popular vote, to which many if not most refuse. We know have chaos, as both candidates start claiming victory and major protests and rallies erupt nationwide.

At this point, one of two things could happen. In the first scenario, one side has a major rally, but the other side orders it shut down, to which they refuse. Violence ensues, police are called in to quell and a major incident occurs with significant loss of life. From here it snowballs and the military and police are forced to choose sides. Beyond this point, anything can happen but with the direction the country is headed I would say nothing good is going to come of this. You are going to be forced to "choose a side". There will be all-out race wars, possibly even border incursions on our southern borders, all in the name of "protecting my people". It is likely major gang violence will ensue. Again with both candidates claiming victory, and no real clear direction from multiple branches of government, this is the nightmare scenario that we should all fear the most. Should the right lose, there will be wholesale racial cleansing, which could happen on either side. Businesses will be attacked, major institutions will fail and our Country as we know it might cease to exist. This is the dream scenario that both Russian and China would love to see.

The second, more likely scenario, is that after the Supreme Court rules, most likely in favor of the traditional Electoral college, the current President in charge, after seeing the chaos that ensues, declares martial law and orders the military to restore order. Now while the vast majority of the military is conservative, a large portion is not, especially those in states like California and the west. These states contemplate secession, declaring their liberal candidate as the winner and elevate him to President of their new union. This is wholly not acceptable to the current government, as some of the most important military installations and hardware exist in these areas. Most military bases declare loyalty to the United States, but there is that one, important base with a commander that refuses. It is here where things could get really ugly, an all-out war between rival military factions could ensue. Certain citizens could get involved, and we might have all-out gorilla warfare. At some point, the UN may try to get involved, or maybe even NATO. At that point we may even be talking WW3.

The Interstate Voting Compact is the WORST idea to come from any political entity this country has ever had. It will be nothing but chaos should it ever decide the fate of an election. Even without the one-state scenario, if the election is close and the compact comes in to play, it will be a nightmare. Our politicians, courts, leaders---whatever, need to address this now, and not let it get to this point. I fear for the future of our country, if not the world for that matter. The idea of nukes in the hands of people who very much do not like each other, with trillions of dollars at stake, is frightening, to say the least.'

This is a section of the Cares Act.

LOL, the act blames the EMPLOYERS for underreporting tips. As a former payroll administrator for a restaurant for many years, we all know that it is almost always the employees that underreport. I had people quit when they realized we would actually enforce reporting correctly. We were audited once, and there is a giant conflict of interest between the government's unwillingness to blame the employee, and their heavy-handed treatment of owners and businesses who try to enforce proper reporting through the labor department, and on the opposite end the IRS enforcement by penalizing the businesses and not the employees for underreporting.

I knew there would be a big conflict of interest here, but they chose to resolve it in the act by basically blaming the business instead of the person actually not reporting correctly.
