Could we pass legislation whereby convicted felons and insurrectionists

Are ineligible to run for public office?
Seems pretty sensible? And the irony that the party professing the “rule of law” in decades past, would be totally silent or in direct opposition to such a ruling at this pivotal point in our history. What do other countries do differently?

I guess what bothers me the most is how MSM has normalized a coup plotter/enabler, convicted felon and a rapist

and hold the Dems to a much higher level of scrutiny. On it's face it is not objective journalism.
I know many have long held that MSM is corrupt and minimally, malleable. I am concurring at this point. I think the owners just want ratings which equals dollars at the expense of honest reporting. CBS President admitted such in 2017 or so.
But here's the thing. The CO Supreme Court ruled "him" ineligible to be on the ballot for his role in 1/6 effort to subvert the electoral process in what should be termed a coup attempt based on the language of the Constitution. SCOTUS overruled the decision, which I didn't think could happen (States Rights and all), but a clear violation of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
That was the first tell that has now become an apparent protection racket for the criminal mob boss by way of the immunity decision. Citizens United, Dobbs and Roe were other "decisions" that were years in the making that have had a huge impact on our society.
I just never thought it could be corrupted this easily, and am damn angry about it.
I will not watch tonight for my own sanity (thanks RandySF).
That said, I hope Kamala smacks him up side his demented head as often as is necessary, especially if he does the stalking shit he did with Hillary. He is a clear and present domestic threat and should be in prison.

Wanted: Therapists from DU. Daughter heading off to school.

Mom and I are a bit distraught 😩. Not to be dramatic, but feels like losing someone that “passed on.”
She is really smart and I know she’s going to be great, at least we all think so. Life can throw you 100 mile an hour fastballs.
Will miss everything about her. A joy every step of the way.
Hopefully we’ve done the best for her. She has it so much more together than we ever did. I gave her a copy of “Rules for Dating My Daughter” to put the fear of something into prospective suitors. She got a chuckle out of it. I gave her 500 copies to distribute among the university community
People will say it’s time for them to fly and I get that, but also remember all the crap and angst I went through to get a degree, but I never let her know how hard it was doing it myself mostly.
Guess I should chill and be content that her experience was waaaay better than mine in the 70’s. Dang I am old!
I do know one thing. She has a strong moral compass and injustice really bothers her. Voting in November (all of us)!
Thanks for reading. As Trae would say; love y’all.

This is not a "horse race." This is a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist trying to avoid prison. So sick of this

being normalized. NOTHING in Harris/ Walz compares in any way. And JD Vances tattoo eyeliner? Just plain WEIRD. Not to mention his disgusting views on our better half, which coincide with Orange Julius.
Disgusted. Whole GOP voted against reducing Rx drug prices. Every single one. Who owns ya baby?
OK done for now.

Biden will be fine and God Forbid that changes, Kamala is ready.

That’s why we have a competent, experienced VP. Stop the hand wringing please.
I know 90 year olds who are just fine. Hell, some were sharp all through their 90’s.

Remember when Donalds longtime Physicians office was raided by his thugs?

Remember he said he “felt raped?” When the office was broken into and records seized.
And again, the Dems are held to actual standards vs. a free pass on unhinged, sociopathic behavior for 9 years and counting. I’m infuriated at this obvious double standard after watching Press Sec being grilled at presser. They gaslit us years ago with the liberal-media crap.
They just want a criminal mob boss so they can carve up the US like Putin did in Russia. I’m with Michael Steele. “Lock his behind up” to stop his “criming.”

I have done a bit of cogitating in the last days. Joe's values are "America's" values. At least in my time here since

the 1960's. The dystopian agenda from the "other side" is not tolerable for any kind of a functioning society. And (God Forbid) Joe may have issues, but we have a fully capable VP. That's what they are there for. Go Joe. You beat him "like a drum" the first time, and you will kick his orange ass again.
Joe's values are my values. Period.
