I'd rather a write in than a vote for a brain-dead crooked pedo potato and a hussy.

which one is which?

which one is which?

You’re right.  It’s hard to tell you from Biden.

A Wyoming district court judge dismissed a lawsuit aiming to remove former President Donald Trump and Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis from election ballots, sparking celebration from Wyoming Republican Secretary of State Chuck Gray.

Illinois now removes Trump from the ballot because of his "roll in the January 6th Insurrection". Funny how not one person arrested has been charged with insurrection.  If you can't beat em', arrest em' and take em' off the ballot.

What's the distinction between "seditious conspiracy" and "insurrection"?  Honest question.

ETA: Here's what I found:

18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

So, looks like it boiled down to a prosecutorial decision to hang the Proud Boys on seditious conspiracy.

Donald J. Trump is guilty of neither. 

The democrats, on the other hand.....

9-0 SCROTUS vote.

Guess more criminal charges will be coming.

Ugh, not unexpected, but disheartening nonetheless.

The "concurrance(s) in part" make it clear that this was not unanimous for the published reason.

spin it.  bake it. whatever you want. fact is, all agree states cannot take a federal candidate off the ballot.  it is not the democratic way; however, colorado will award the electorate to biden democratically.

That's not what the amendment says at all, but that's what Roberts, et al, force fed us.  Re-writing, by the way, the actual text in a way that used to send Republicans into fainting spells over "activist judging."

Idiots gonna keep idioting. 

I love how Trump has turned your formerly rational brain into a stew of insufferable, indefensible rage.

Right.

No voter ID.
Dominion double-counting machines
Ballot mules
Mail-in fraud


Look, I get it.  This has been going on to one degree or another for years.  The democrats (trend?) did it to get Kennedy elected.  They flat out told people they were going to do it in 2020.  Bernie "The Grifter" Sanders, Chuck "I'll Hold One in My Mouth" Schumer, and Nancy "Never Met Booze I Didn't Like" Pelosi not only told us how it was going to happen, but even specifically when it would.  Most people thought they were just running their babbling traps (like usual), but they're on record saying exactly how it was going down.  That dumbass communist piece of shit Sanders even narrowed it down to which states and counties. 

Problem was nobody did anything. 

Questions now are:  a)will the people let them get away with it yet again and b) why are they so afraid of Trump?  I mean other than they're all a pack of pedophiles and globalist criminals, I mean?

you serious?

[wesfau2]

Completely.

Not only did they "interpret" the Amendment by engaging in logical contortions, they INSERTED THE CONGRESSIONAL METHOD OF ENACTMENT/ENFORCEMENT.

Great take, Meathead Olbermann.

Besides, aren't all you guys "state's rights/fuck the feds" types?  Cuz, this is CO saying, fuck that guy he's not on our ballot.

Checking in to see if everyone is upset that RFKJr won't qualify for every state's ballot. 

[Snaggletiger]

So, you're saying not qualifying to be on a ballot, and having bogus suits filed to keep you off a ballot are the same?
