Good point on Nicole Wallace show about those saying let voters decide about Dump.

[onecaliberal]

They already did that in 2020. Dump is not eligible to be on any ballot. He planned and participated in insurrection. He wanted to overthrow the government. The Constitution is CLEAR.

[PBateman70]

1. Don't forget

The voters have already decided by passing the 14th amendment to begin with

[ecstatic]

2. Exactly. They didn't respect our vote in 2020. Why would they in 2024?

If anything, it will be easier to pull off the coup by then.

[onecaliberal]

3. Absolutely. They've been plotting for 4 years.

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. Plus, the majoriy of voters

Isn't what determines a Presidential election.

5. The 1917 November Revolution as it came to be called, was at the time considered an insurrection

and it fits J6 rather well. The only thing missing were the shock troops to drive opposing parties from the Capitol, and the allegiance of organized conservative military units all over the country.

Study history: John Reed, "Ten Days that Shook the World". Reed was the only western journalist in Russia at that time. He collected posters, interviewed leaders, attended many events. Fascinating book. But at the time, in the world and western press, it was called an insurrection. The storming of the Winter Palace.

11. I read that in college--AWESOME book! It's still on my bookshelf.

"November Revolution" doesn't have quite the same ring as "normal tourist event," though, does it?

We cannot let these f*ckers play us again. We will NOT tolerate "Dictator for a Day" having power for even one more minute, much less a day.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Absolutely, we are winning. First they were tourists, then rioters, then protesters

Now we are openly and universally using the terms insurrection and insurrectionists.

All the convictions helped.

Ain't no doubt what it was. You can't unsee it.

6. EarlG has a good meme for that already.

7. If the GOP, M$M, et. al. are going to ram this tRump candidacy thru.....

Then I think sabatoging the path by banning him from state ballots is the best way to rid ourselves of this fat menace….

[MOMFUDSKI]

8. Christie came out with that bullshit

this morning. What an ass-kisser he is.

[Bev54]

9. I have never quite understood people who say that. It is written in the constitution, so if someone

who is underage or not a born American decided to run (also against the constitution do these same people think it should be left up to the voters to decide? Either you follow the constitution or not.

[area51]

19. You bring up an interesting point.

However, Canadian Rafael "Ted" Cruz was allowed to run for the presidency, Mexican Mitt Romney was allowed to run for president, and Panamanian John McCain was allowed to run for president.

[Bev54]

22. They were all born to US citizens and have birthright citizenship

[intheflow]

28. You're gonna throw McCain into this?

He was born on in the Philippines because his father was a naval officer stationed there. It’s ridiculous to claim he didn’t have birthright citizenship.

[surfered]

10. He already demonstrated he won't accept the results of an election he lost.

And what are the odds he abides by the 22nd Amendment limiting him to two terms? Will his hired weasels find loopholes that the Supreme Court will buy so he remains in office in perpetuity?

[Traildogbob]

13. And never forget

The GQO are working 24/7 to end people’s right to vote. How the fuck is that letting the people decide?
Just heard Micheal Steele say on MSNBC “Both Sides”. That Dems do not want GQP to vote. Damn you Steele. Your party wants no blacks to vote.
Get off the fucking pot dude, you look like a fool, a token black spokesman for the supremacist party.

[onecaliberal]

16. Only 1 party is suppressing votes and drawing illegal maps.

I won’t watch any show he’s on. When I saw him, I turned the channel.

[Traildogbob]

20. That's a good plan.

[malaise]

14. Precisely

15. Thanks for this post - I agree with you @onecaliliberal.The Constitution requires 3 things to be eligible for the office

of POTUS:

1) Be at least 35 years old
2) Be a natural born citizen
3) Not have performed insurrectionist acts against the US

[tavernier]

18. Absolutely. Eligibility.

Any other decision by the Supreme Court would be purely political. It is all based on eligibility, and the proven facts beyond a doubt that he performed acts of insurrection.

[onecaliberal]

25. It's okay with recons to be a serial rapist and fraudster though.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

27. Add to your # 3) : after having taken an oath to support the Constitution

[Ohioboy]

17. Yep

It's pretty simple. He showed us how ineligible he could be on Jan 6th.

[Cha]

21. Boom.. Fuck the Cult Brainwashed magats.

[Demobrat]

23. The voters did decide.

They decided when they voted him out. He refused to accept their decision. That is why he is ineligible to run again.

[claudette]

26. Besides

Voters definitely choose from those on a ballot. However. States and the Constitution have the right and duty to decide who is qualified to be on the ballot. Not voters

[NoMoreRepugs]

29. It defies logic that 'patriotic' Deplorables support/worship the meat popsicle that led an INSURRECTION.

That more than anything else has alienated me from almost my entire family - which pleases me no end by the way.

[onecaliberal]

30. It has alienated us from a lot of our family as well.

[NoMoreRepugs]

32. My Grandmother told me you can pick your nose but not your family. She didn't talk to her sister for 20 years.

[onecaliberal]

33. I can't be around people who vote to kill my son and husband.

None of them ever worked a day in their pathetic lives.

[moondust]

31. Voters don't always decide.

Sometimes it's the rigged electoral college.



Those 3 million Hillary voters just didn't matter.

[PennRalphie]

34. Scotus

SCOTUS might reverse this but it will cost TFG millions in lawyers fees. He will be too broke to even run a campaign. I have no worry. Joe’s got this

[bullimiami]

35. Exactly. The voters decided in 2020 and trump sent a big F.U.
