Remember the French Revolution, and the groups that tried to keep the monarchy right to the bitter end, abroad of what the future would look like? That is Congress today. The Revolution is coming, and it is not MAGA, but will be enabled by MAGA and the billionaires' grasp on power.
I read this in the 14th when DT won the primary as did all kinds of higher ups in the DNC.
It's plain on its face and either they have been waiting to spring this action when it is too late for opposition to maneuver against it, or they have already given up for reasons they won't likely explain.
There should be an ammendment that says if the majority of voters vote for the wrong person to lead the country, the right person can still be given the office as a way to preserve democracy.
I mean, duh, ya think?
He clearly committed an act of insurrection.
The 14th amendment is clear despite the SCOTUS taking a shit all over it.
They only ruled he couldn’t be kept off the ballot, not that he could be barred from serving.
They’ll just swear in Vance anyway, but that’s still better.
A felon need not run.
The Electoral College needs to be abolished.
A President needs to be of the people, that is, not a dictator.
A President needs to be held accountable. Period.
He deserves disqualification. But since it won’t happen, there is no benefit to provoking a constitutional crisis that would have unknown repercussions.
"The unlikelihood of congressional GOP doing anything that might elect Harris is obvious. But Dems need to take a stand against Electoral College votes for a person disqualified by the Constitution from holding office unless and until this disability is removed. No less is required by their oath."
Conspiracy hope theory would be that they have been waiting for additional blatant constitutional violations and/or clear shift in popularity before making a move...
Of course if the wind doesn't blow strongly enough in their favor they are probably better off letting it pass for a surge in 2026.
If that were to happen all of Trumps' claims of wirch hunts and the system bieng rigged would be confirmed is the eyes of his supporters. Very likely widespread violence if not civil war would break out. Until those of you get the point of why he won to begin with you're treading water at best.
Dems don't have the balls to do this, but you can believe if this were a Democrat president-elect, the GOP would do this in a heartbeat & not think twice.
Until Dems grow a set, they won't get any more of my money.

That’s bad for sure, but not NEARLY as bad as the Musk / Trump double whammy we’re staring down right now.
