The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

Chris, I don't see where the Supreme Court "wrote out" any crucial part of the 14th amendment. IMO, this is misinformation. Please Research and Correct!
Trump must still undergo an "amnesty" vote in which 2/3 of Congress must vote in his favor. Otherwise, he is still ineligible to hold office.
When they unanimously voted that no state (Colorado in the case), had the authority to ban a known insurrectionist from the ballot.
Effectively they said there is no means for federal enforcement so it is effectively moot.
You can trace this insurrection to the illegal theft of power to appoint a judge in 2015. Trump got his handpicked henchmen/woman and we've been on the road to autocracy ever since.
Don’t. Hate Mitch McConnell, this all happened because he failed to do his job. Hate your court system that takes months to render decisions and puts politics ahead of the law. No matter who the AG was the deck was stacked. Mitch McConnell had the the only real chance of ending this and chose not to
Make no mistake, McConnell deserves a special place in hell.
I blame Reagan and Newt even more.
But Garland didn't want to appear political, so he dragged his feet.
I do believe he would have made a good Supreme Court Justice.
I’m would suggest it wouldn’t have mattered how fast he moved the endless appeals coupled with the crooked judge in Florida who should have been removed by the circuit court after the second time they overturned her and SCOTUS who took 8 months then granted him immunity, were the real culprits
A fair point. SCOTUS was never going to let him be convicted before the election. The real problem is that 77 million voted for him AFTER he called for an insurrection. They are the ones to blame for putting him back in power.
§3 of the 14th Amendment is self-executing; any Secretary of State has the authority to bar any participant in the insurrection from being on the ballot in their State
It’s the plain language of the Constitution. Both men are renowned legal scholars.
If a person who has taken an Oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States participated in an insurrection, they are disqualified from holding any Office of the United States. https://x.com/JamesFLoveIV/status/1692917346099167538
They are the absolute fringe. But. I still always have to ask if you ever feel the slightest bit of guilt or responsibility for how you covered the 2016 election because of your bias …
Reading so many of these comments, it sounds as if a bunch of you just want to bitch about it. How many of you have actively done SOMETHING besides typing on your phone?
If they voted for a shutdown, wouldn't that hinder the courts?
It's the ONLY place I see progress being made. This is a battle being fought with ATTORNEYS. Am I wrong? (Please show your work)😆🤣
yes, that is the big concern, that the Republicans in Congress will now codify the illegal and unconstitutional actions of Musk and DOGE into law. because of Schumer’s compliance, the Republicans now can pass a much more drastic budget
The courts can oppose Trump because he was breaking the law. This bill codifies many of their actions into law. Can the courts stop someone from following the law? Shummer got a call from Wall street saying a shut down would be bad for business and he obeyed, because he really works for them.
When a law is undone by the lawless unaccountable unelected people who have a robe on there's no law at all.
End impunity Abolish qualified immunity and execute those who lied to facilitate wrongful imprisonment. Prosecutors judges and all state agents.
Pay the exonerated
I gotta be honest though even as someone with virtually no expectations of the Democratic party it really is jarring to see it all coming to fruition and the party just nakedly throwing us to the fucking wolves.
I mean the whole thing of Dummkopf being president at all is messed up, but in particular this time around, because literally every layer of how illegal it is for him to be there has been conveniently set aside. Where is that British nanny from the tv when you need her?
No one allowed anything. A vast majority of Americans, by recent standards, VOTED Trump back in office because America's sick of socialist-fascist democrats destroying everything we've built. There were no illegal after hours vote dumps, either. (10,000+ all democrat votes at the end of the day)
The president is immune to everything, the Supreme Court is bought and paid for, and congress have yes men serving at the pleasure of capital on BOTH sides… we are now fighting Nazis AND the Kapos who think their cooperation will save them. But who is going to save them from US in the end?
Unless they disarm everyone, who do they think are going to be the first hunted down in a second civil war, WWIII, or an apocalypse? I know who is on my canasta deck of cards…
How do we leverage pressure on SCOTUS? They aren’t unreachable- no matter what people think. Where is their wealth invested? Name everyone who has their ear- design a targeted monetary protest strategy and start targeted well messaged Tesla effects. Line them up like dominos
No way! You may not agree with this one vote, but this party needs all the help we can give them. There are 3 candidates right now that if they win, will help tremendously.
Ivana said that in an interview. It was a book of compiled speeches the title of which escapes me. Mein Kampf is long and dry & at least 5 grades above trump's reading level. I'm not even sure I believe Ivana about the other book. He may have had it, but I don't think he's literate enough to read it
They haven't voted yet!! It's time for intimidation tactics. Starting calling and contacting those reps online and let them know, in no uncertain terms, how you feel.
Well, Democrats just sold what was left of our freedom down the fucking river so it's not like we can do anything about it now. We all just have to sit here and hope for the best I guess.
Isn’t it tragic how Biden and Trump ignore the 14th amendment in different ways. It would be ironic if Trump’s reasoning for being able to subvert birthright citizenship is “well if you take the 14th amendment at face value,I and most elected Republicans shouldn’t even be allowed in political office
Well, aside from the insurrectionist becoming president,despite the 14th,the 14th amendment gives the president of the United States, the authority to raise the debt ceiling in the event Congress is overrun with extremists. lot of people were pushing for Biden to do that, but he decided against it.
Biden didn’t utilize that power instead he agreed to appease the Republicans by making cuts to the IRS and snap benefits “entitlements” while the country was still recovering financially from the pandemic. Republicans then used the resulting financial struggles of every day Americans against Biden
Essentially had Biden raise the debt sailing himself he might still be president. Republicans sabotaged every effort to relieve the financial strain on the working class and then blamed Biden for it. He could’ve avoided that. That’s only one mild example.
The most egregious example is keeping Merrick Garland as attorney general, after it became clear he wasn’t taking the insurrection seriously. He went after individual rioters and not the politicians that facilitated the insurrection. States had to go after the fake electors.
Y'all keep blaming Democrats leaders to oppose the #Autocracy after Swing States voted for @Republicans to take their #Job #Freedom #HealthCare #Housing for #TaxCuts for the Billionaire!Please keep #Protesting alone & leave Democrats in #Peace cos you had the option to save #Democracy but choose NOT
All part of the Grand Ol’ Plan to destroy America

We in turn raised a generation who wholeheartedly believe nothing other than their truth; they have human rights and they matter and to be kind and to help and to love.
We need to change the debate around the #14thAmendmentSection3 into what it was ment to be & the sucess we had with it till our nation chose to stop doing the hard thing over the ease of Racism & Partisan ideology over the fix.
Just a reminder that the MSM (save for most of MSNBC) did not think Trump attempting a coup was something that should be brought up during the campaign or the debates.
Nor did they think him stealing nuclear secrets to sell or show for money was a dealbreaker.
Give a listen to @preetbharara.bsky.social Stay Tuned 3/13 discussion about Reconstruction in Gaza. Some interesting points about Reconstruction were made that may resonate and apply to our own history of Reconstruction.
Look at the Obama inauguration. Imagine 3x that crowd. Do you seriously think that the military would fire on that? I'm pretty sure that, soon, enough magats will be pissed not to bother defending against a crowd that size and the millitary always goes with the biggest numbers.
The important part if they fire will not be what happens next. There will be no next. They will slaughter everyone. That's why it's important to have massive numbers of the type trump can only lie about. They will not fire on a million plus unarmed people in a mass like that. They'll turn first.
It won't be quick to resolve, but not even the Chinese military has ever fired upon that many of their own unarmed citizens. Their strategy is always to pick off smaller groups, separating them out if necessary and often using provocateurs as a pretext. They can't do that with 700K or more people.
SCOTUS did not write it out. They just disallowed a state from keeping Trump off the ballot.
The NATIONAL Congress could have at any time forced an amnesty vote which would have fully activated 14.3.
But they didn't. Another Democratic Party failure.
What hour of which day did they have that many votes lying around? Are you just ignoring Manchin, Sinema and cloture?
And if they had, wouldn't that be a bill that would need presidential signature? So either the offender of their opponent. A terrible position to put the country in.
What are you lying? Nothing was written out of the Constitution. They don't have the power to.amend the Constitution. All the language is still there. Those who are sworn to protect it have failed to do their jobs.
Go figure how a KGB terrorist got a 14th amendment exemption because his KGB handler, business partner and first wife died before they could complain. Who and wtf he is is not a matter of debate and his "presidency" is illegitimate AF.
Well yeah but I don't see the Supreme Court ruling anything other than the invalidation of minority as constitutional at this point, we're a long way past this
If Biden had called for and actually gotten a genuinely peaceful protest through even the lobby of the Capitol, the Republicans would have pulled the 14th on him and never shut up until he pulled out of candidacy.
Do you feel like a f-ing performative idiot when you say stupid shit like "insurrectionists?
If not, let me confirm it for you. That's what it looks like
It feels like our democratic experiment died this afternoon. The last guardrail - a minority party willing to oppose a tyrannical majority - waved the white flag.
Get armed. The Germans weren’t. If that doesn’t appeal to you, learn self defense and how to use everyday items as weapons. Also, form or join local networks. If everything crashes we will all need to help each other survive.
I will read these, and I'm sure they are thoughtful and great. But I think we need high profile, visible, resistance. Coordinated marches, nationwide billboard campaign, Coordinated meet-ups and planning groups. The masses are looking for leadership!
People are stepping forward on social media and ready to lead. Bernie Sanders, Tim Walz, Jasmine Crockett, AOC and even Nancy Pelosi. I think Mayor Pete's about to enter the arena. I do know that the democratic party is not holding the line against this president.
We need to channel all our energy over the next two weeks to Wisconsin Supreme Court. Judge Susan Crawford needs our help. https://indivisible.org/scowis2025
What did the Libyans do? The Italians? The Spanish? The Romanians? The Ukrainians? The Iraqis or any people held in the grip of fascists?
Let the magats suffer until they catch humanity or are weakened to the point that they can't or won't defend the regime against extraction. They leave no options.
What was the rationale? Prevent Americans’ suffering?
Like Trump and DOGE will not continue their destructive action that is actually shutting the government and causing massive damage and suffering?
What’s the difference?
In any case, the intent of the provision was clear to safeguard the republic from those who would seek to dismantle it through violent or unlawful means.
It’s a complex issue. Some argue that this provision is still vital to protecting the integrity of our government, while others point out that it's a challenging line to walk between upholding the law and ensuring that all citizens have access to participating in our democratic process
That said, the provision has been used sparingly, and the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution has evolved over time. The fact that it has largely been "written out" in recent legal discussions speaks to a broader conversation about how the Constitution is interpreted
The drafters were looking out for the long-term health of the Republic, knowing that if insurrectionists were allowed back into office, it could set a dangerous precedent and potentially undermine the very institutions they fought to protect.
The reasoning behind this provision was rooted in the desire to preserve the stability and integrity of the nation, ensuring that those who fought against it couldn’t be allowed to regain authority. at least in my own opinion
The framers of the amendment, coming off the Civil War, had witnessed the destructive impact of insurrection and wanted to ensure that those who took part in such acts wouldn’t be able to return to positions of power without consequences.
The 14th Amendment, specifically Section 3, was drafted with the intent to prevent individuals who engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the U.S. government from holding public office.
I could have sworn you guys said that Trump would be throwing Dems in jail his first week in office. Is that still going to happen, or have we moved on to this… which is completely invalid. So tell us Chris, why hasn’t SCOTUS shut him down if he is breaking the fourteenth amendment?
Don't forget that it is the failing of the US border patrol that fentanyl is coming across the border. Not Canada or Mexico. Please repost so this reaches Midas Touch, the Mexican Pres, Canada's PM and MPs and our reps.
They gave Trump a seemingly blank check to try and do whatever he wanted. Trump is taking full advantage of the Supreme Court’s decision to see what lengths he can go to. We are the ones who are suffering because of their decision which had no constitutional basis.
I think that Congress could have acted post election for following the 14th. Reading the text of the decision, they said it was lacking action by Congress.
What the blowback would have been like is another question. But I do have to wonder if I was right to call for it then.
This can no longer be done without bloodshed. We are past the tipping point.
The amount and the range of damage is yet to be determined.
A lot of that hinges on what our military members do when they are told to shoot civilians. Because that order will come and sooner than anyone thinks.
Dems still don't seem to understand the GOP isn't an opposition party with differing ideas ... it's a domestic terrorist organization aligned with white-supremacist militias and the Kremlin.
I don't think a single congressman really understands the threat.
It wasn't the Constitution that failed. It was the corrupt SCOTUS who is tasked with upholding it that failed.
Wipe the current SCOTUS off the map and create a new one with ETHICAL Non-Partisan Constitutional scholar judges, and the coup would be over in a matter of days.
Actually it was the 77 million voters who gleefully voted for a convicted and unrepentant felon. Nothing anyone else did or failed to do with respect to 47 would have mattered if those voters had the sense God gave grass.
While you are correct about the underlying reason we're in this nightmare, there is still no question that SCOTUS is corruptly supporting the orange traitor.
Suppose Harris had won and the felon brought a lawsuit claiming election fraud again. Do you think SCOTUS might have flipped it? I do.
⭐
I read the first half of this as being about the Civil Rights Cases and the privileges and immunities clause in the 14th amendment until I got to the second half and uh. I guess maybe we should grapple with the fact the court has now written out 2 parts of the 14th amendment.
Anyone that donates a dime to the Democratic Party after today is a fool. @schumer.senate.gov may as well be on Elon's payroll. We've been sold out. Dems will not fight for us, they bend over every single time.
We currently have no alternative and there are many members of the Party who didn't bend. We need to empower them. Schumer is still working with a badly outdated playbook and the seniority tradition is not helping. However, starving the Party won't work any better.
The most powerful highest ranking Democratic leader just lead the effort to legitimize DOGE. It's over. Rotten from the top down. He is in power until 2028.
This. This is what happens. A whole country held hostage by a fascist coup while the Senate votes to give them more unchecked power. It's something to behold.
Don’t worry, tomorrow the people of our ally nations will get up and blame this mess on oppressed workers who haven’t had free or fair elections in 30 years.
Maybe it's time to learn what unfettered R's are. It was a lesson the Depression gen. learned and they didn't vote R again for 40 years afterward. Dems spend too much time mitigating the damage of R's, only to be kicked in the face for it. Let them fly their cruelty flag and see how it's accepted.
Who's going to sort them out?
Democracy is like a clogged toilet: it only works properly when everyone agrees it's time to take the crap out, repair the damage properly, & clean it out thoroughly. Period.
I'd wager there would be if more Americans had better access to firearms and were actually able to coordinate as one, ya know two basic rights that's been slowly eroded away from us
Here’s the thing
If you Liberals had the answer to our problems then this country wouldn’t be in the mess it’s in.
Maybe what Donald Trump is doing won’t help. But what the Liberals did didn’t help either.
Trump can’t possible screw the country up any worse than it already is
Yeah I’m sure Trump can and will screw the country up differently than the Liberals did.
But he nor anybody else couldn’t possibly screw it up any worse.
Being shot with and arrow is a different wound than being shot with a gun but you still just as dead
Sure thing Buddy. Firing people, starving them, making this country "white" again, allowing billionaires to pay $0 taxes, denying Healthcare and deporting people because the speak a foreign language. Tell me how any of that helps the United States
You have no concept of what variety of liberalism you're on about. USA is a neoliberal country with very few socially liberal qualities,despite its Constitution. By other standards you're a country with a majority of rabid far right nationalists
In less than 2 months, inflation, oil, gas, interest rates, mortgage rates are all DOWN.
The border is secured.
The Russia-Ukraine War will be ending soon.
And you're saying Trump "didn't help?"
Sir with all due respect to you. It’s not over till the fat lady sings. And she doesn’t even have the microphone yet.
I’m remembering Reagan myself and others feel he did a lot of good. But it doesn’t appear it’s working out very well for us now
Russia’s in the Ukraine fighting now. Why??
I think what you’re missing here is that thanks to post world war “liberal” policies we had 80 years of prosperity, the bottom up rule that the sons of liberty envisioned, that began to crumble in the 80’s as people who wanted power to rest with the elite few started to chip away at the foundation.
Then we “liberals” also lost site of that bottom up rule as well, and here we are. I don’t think that’s going to be the case anymore. I sense people are clamoring for “get useful things done” ideas and something will come along to fill that void, be it liberal or centrist, but from the bottom up.
And now he’s trying to undo the birthright citizenship portion of the 14th A. If he’s successful, all that would remain of the 14th is a federal ban on assuming Confederate debt.
Biden had four years to prosecute Trump for insurrection. They threw everything they could think of at Trump and lots of it was absurd, but they never charged him for insurrection. Don't tell me it was all just a talking point. Everybody still talks about it like Trump was convicted for it.
Do you think when the Supreme Court nullifies or amends the constitution from the bench, that the rest of us still have an obligation to respect and follow their decisions?
It's not the employees that need to go. From the top down, every person of authority needs to be purged, Democrat and Republican and a new govt elected. Also, conservatism needs to be outlawed and religion penalized for its role in all of this.
Unfortunately, 77 million people in this country never read, studied, or even remotely understand the Constitution. It’s been treasured for 249 years. Will it make it to 250?
I’m a democrat and I don’t want to fight for these democrats. Congress needs a reset. There’s like maybe three good ones (even though I can only think of two right now).
Counter coup or revolutionary war? It's already class warfare, seems like they are trying to push a fuck ton of Luigi's into doing something. They keep poking the bear thinking they have the power.
I am a former member of the US Military Intelligence Corps, I will gladly offer my expertise in any.... Operations that may hypothetically be considered to wrest back Democracy in our nation.
Bet not—pretext is set to invoke Insurrection Act/declare martial law at 1st forceful resistance
Purged all DoD DoJ FBI CIA who’d uphold oath to Constitution over orders to shoot civilians—installed a TV B-list alcoholic with zero military command experience
Reminder of what pres. of Heritage Foundation Kevin Roberts (Project2025 authors) said when SCOTUS created total Presidential immunity to allow Trump to break every law, commit any crime
“We are in the process of the 2nd American revolution, which will remain bloodless…if the Left allows it to be.”
The media doesn’t stay on stories and fact check long enough or repeat over and over to prove the lie. Mainstream media is to blame for the misinformation issue. Tell the truth everywhere everyday
What type of mental construct allows a vote for Trump after his attempted coup d’etat, mismanagement & self-dealing during a lethal pandemic, and constant lying
How over the course of the following 3+ years, was Trump not brought to justice for his actions?
When the Blessed Founders were constructing the system of checks and balances that promote and protect the rule of law they assumed pro-American majorities in the Legislative and Judicial branches.
Jan 20th was a Constitutional crisis because an insurrectionist swore in an insurrectionist.
Congress has to take a 2/3 majority vote to remove Trump's insurrection status. Impeachment didn't make Trump an insurrectionist, inciting an insurrection did.
That's true, I was criticizing the praise for the framers. I also don't think revering a document is a good idea. It is the kind of thing that makes people say country x is the greatest country in the world.
It’s fine if you can use it to craft a positive and expansive vision of the constitution which is what the fourteenth does. The fourteenth is indispensable in that regard
And yet, any time a group of white people (men) decide to overthrow the government, our nation does let them back into power. Which is why we are still dealing with problems that were foundational to this country enough to cause an actual civil war. Where we didn't hold the white guys accountable.
It's the same thing that makes our society go "he must have been bullied" and blame it on mental health whenever a white man or child murders a bunch of people but if a marginalized person who has spent their life being targeted by society and political policies does it, then they're a terrorist.
This nation is falling because of white supremacy. And we should be loudly talking about that if what we want we build next to not have the same fatal flaws.

Nvmd I get it now. Like I said, catching up. Dancing as fast as my dumpy, remorseful, outraged but determined not to be outwitted little feet can move.
It's so weird how many liberals are complacent on 2028 and set on the idea that you'd need a constitutional amendment for Trump to run again. No, all he needs is 5 votes! We saw this play out almost line for line last election with Trump's ballot access. Our greatest ally sadly is that Trump's old.
Even as an ex-president, you realize he will still be calling the shots. He will say "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" in every republicans campaign. He'll put his toadies and sycophants in power positions to cement the "MAGA" agenda which is a front for "ENRICH TRUMP" Their next candidate is Trump 2.0
Stick a fork in that lame duck—he’s done. Red district town halls are MAGA starting to unravel in real time. We should be concerned that the fix could be in in ‘28, but don’t let your fear and loathing fool you—he won’t be the candidate. He won’t be worth the perversion of the constitution to SCOTUS
If he dies, it all falls apart. Nothing else holds these morons together, and people hate Elon & J.D. I've gotten to the point that I believe that is what it would take before a popular heir emerges
If he dies -- even of natural causes -- a civil war will erupt, because his followers are stupid enough and gullible enough to truly believe that Trans Athletes (or whatever the Rightwing Boogieman at the time is) conspired to destroy their Beloved God-king, not his Hamberder-clogged arteries.
I don't think he has ENOUGH hard-core followers that it would create a civil war. Remember that the VAST majority of people either didn't vote for Trump or didn't vote at all. And even among Trump voters, only a minority would pick up arms. Hopefully, law enforcement could handle it
But he only gets one part of the MAGA coalition. He doesn't get the billionaire class on his side. Very few of his listeners are over 50. Nobody else can unite conspiracy theorists, rich people who hate culture wars, Christian Nationalists, people influenced by The Apprentice, etc—It's unique to him
But it is something of a cult, with a mythical figure at the center. Lose the mythical figure, it becomes easier to resist. I am not consoling myself that his death would end this. I don't see this regime ever giving up power without a major uprising. Still, breaking Trump's spell would help with #s
The only REAL way to defeat Trumpism is for people to recognize it for what it is, realize that they were manipulated by fear and hatred. Trumpism has to be delegitimized. It has to be allowed to fail. People have to be hurt by it.
The MAGA movement is held together by Christian nationalism, white supremacy, and bigotry. The Republican party is held together by the promise of power; a power they earn by satisfying the hatreds of their constituents. That won't end with Trump.
i wish that i could be as optimistic as you. i fear that he's not even the worst person in this regime, he's not even really in charge, and the evil will outlive him. it's the same evil that enabled his victory.
Well, the regime is not going to give up power peacefully. That part is true. No matter what, it's going to be hard. They control the levers of power. I'm just saying the decade-long cultish magic doesn't transfer, which would make it SOMEWHAT easier to go South Korea, demanding impeachment, etc.
You're wrong. If Trump dies, MAGA will make him a martyr. Doesn't even matter how he dies. He could choke on a cheeseburger and MAGA would believe he was assassinated. Trump will die one day, but that will not guarantee the end of Trumpism.
Yes, MAGA will continue. But Trump's death would lead to infighting, making MAGA weaker & easier to oppose. Historically, cultish political movements lose steam when Charismatic Leader 1 dies. They can & do rebuild, but normally lose strength until loyalty coalesces around Charismatic Leader 2
Why do you keep trying to justify what you know was a lie!! The Convictions were a political scam as well as the insurrection garbage! The total insecurity of truth is all you have to grasp on to for your hate!!!! PITIFUL!
Nothing to do with feelings, and you don’t know what liberal even means 🤣 You’re just objectively wrong and a fucking moron, so fuck off back to your Nazi pals so you don’t drop the average IQ here into the negatives
the founders did not assume that, they didn't trust us at all, which is why we have had presidents who lost the popular vote. they created the electoral college to defend themselvs from us. normal people rebelled against the rich bastards who invented the govt almost immediately. Daniel Shays 🧡
Lincoln, John Bingham and the Reconstruction Congresses were IMO every inch founders of the U.S. as Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, Madison and the first and second Congresses.
America faces a far greater threat now than it has ever done - I'd say far greater than 9/11 given the untold damage Trump and his acolytes can inflict on the USA and globally.
He is every bit a dictator.
I’m sorry but I really believe the conservatives on SCOTUS are as corrupt as musk, djt and his administration and that includes djt’s concierge flamenco dancer “judge”. Olé.
Yeah and the American electorate voted out Obama, the real insurrectionist, and elected Trump the first time! And voted out Biden the second time because Americans finally recognized the TRUE INSURRECTIONIST, the liberal Democrats!
So you really don't understand what he said!!! Are you daft?? He is referring to the Dems trying to keep Biden and then appointing Kamala as their nominee when she had not one PRIMARY VOTE!
Go look up Jim Jones. You’re at THAT level of either indoctrination or THAT stupid. He didn’t say a goddamn thing about Biden & you know it. He said he didn’t expect to be in the presidency when the World Cup happened but then the election was rigged & here he is.
You look up Jim Jones! The Dems promote insane ideas and keep telling people they must accept the ridiculous, like men are women, and should be in their bathrooms, and there is no inflation, that is the level of indoctrination YOU DRANK!
Yep he thought he wouldn't get elected, because the Dems always rig elections but it backfired!! Just like all the Prosecutions against him backfired because it made the American voter mad at the corrupt Dems!

Trump must still undergo an "amnesty" vote in which 2/3 of Congress must vote in his favor. Otherwise, he is still ineligible to hold office.
Effectively they said there is no means for federal enforcement so it is effectively moot.
You can trace this insurrection to the illegal theft of power to appoint a judge in 2015. Trump got his handpicked henchmen/woman and we've been on the road to autocracy ever since.
I blame Reagan and Newt even more.
But Garland didn't want to appear political, so he dragged his feet.
I do believe he would have made a good Supreme Court Justice.
§3 of the 14th Amendment is self-executing; any Secretary of State has the authority to bar any participant in the insurrection from being on the ballot in their State
MAGASCOTUS interference=violated US constitution
If a person who has taken an Oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States participated in an insurrection, they are disqualified from holding any Office of the United States. https://x.com/JamesFLoveIV/status/1692917346099167538

Think Gadaffi.
Yes, they WILL shoot when the time comes.
The important part is going to be what will follow.
What ever happens now, it will not be bloodless. Nor will it be quick to resolve.
The USA as we came to know them, are dead.
The scrotum actually UPHELD the two rulings that the traitor is a traitor and not eligible for office.
Congressional Democrats knew what it said. Joe Biden knew what it said.
They aren't John Robert's subordinates.
The NATIONAL Congress could have at any time forced an amnesty vote which would have fully activated 14.3.
But they didn't. Another Democratic Party failure.
And if they had, wouldn't that be a bill that would need presidential signature? So either the offender of their opponent. A terrible position to put the country in.
If not, let me confirm it for you. That's what it looks like

I cleaned & oiled my guns. So there’s that.
Let the magats suffer until they catch humanity or are weakened to the point that they can't or won't defend the regime against extraction. They leave no options.
Like Trump and DOGE will not continue their destructive action that is actually shutting the government and causing massive damage and suffering?
What’s the difference?
Side: Even Davis agreed with the 14th Amendment.
I think that Congress could have acted post election for following the 14th. Reading the text of the decision, they said it was lacking action by Congress.
What the blowback would have been like is another question. But I do have to wonder if I was right to call for it then.
The amount and the range of damage is yet to be determined.
A lot of that hinges on what our military members do when they are told to shoot civilians. Because that order will come and sooner than anyone thinks.
I don't think a single congressman really understands the threat.
Wipe the current SCOTUS off the map and create a new one with ETHICAL Non-Partisan Constitutional scholar judges, and the coup would be over in a matter of days.
Suppose Harris had won and the felon brought a lawsuit claiming election fraud again. Do you think SCOTUS might have flipped it? I do.
⭐
It certainly wasn't Joe Biden.
That's the real coup.
Democracy is like a clogged toilet: it only works properly when everyone agrees it's time to take the crap out, repair the damage properly, & clean it out thoroughly. Period.
If you Liberals had the answer to our problems then this country wouldn’t be in the mess it’s in.
Maybe what Donald Trump is doing won’t help. But what the Liberals did didn’t help either.
Trump can’t possible screw the country up any worse than it already is
But he nor anybody else couldn’t possibly screw it up any worse.
Being shot with and arrow is a different wound than being shot with a gun but you still just as dead
The border is secured.
The Russia-Ukraine War will be ending soon.
And you're saying Trump "didn't help?"
I’m remembering Reagan myself and others feel he did a lot of good. But it doesn’t appear it’s working out very well for us now
Russia’s in the Ukraine fighting now. Why??
Now block that
And Trump and all who are supporting them.
Guess who wins.
We had the power to root out disloyalty to our Constitition, and we chose to focus on making the Gilded Age happen instead.
to the Free Democracies in Europe *******
That our senators don't understand.

This is basically the start of a new civil war. The sooner we come to terms with that, the faster we can get to work.
Purged all DoD DoJ FBI CIA who’d uphold oath to Constitution over orders to shoot civilians—installed a TV B-list alcoholic with zero military command experience

“We are in the process of the 2nd American revolution, which will remain bloodless…if the Left allows it to be.”
Rise up people! It’s up to us!
They just switched out the Stars & Bars for a MAGA Flag.
How over the course of the following 3+ years, was Trump not brought to justice for his actions?

Rookie mistake.
Congress has to take a 2/3 majority vote to remove Trump's insurrection status. Impeachment didn't make Trump an insurrectionist, inciting an insurrection did.
The insurrection continues today.
It is so beyond time for Land Back.

No one thought Trump could become President.
This isn’t something that can be replicated. His son will fail in 2028 too.
Are you aware that the judge in the "34 felonies" case is now being investigated?
“Wait! What?”
To combat a tyrannical government.
Thanks, Mitch.
He is every bit a dictator.
