Judd LegumThe top Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election just called for SUSPENDING THE CONSTITUTION
We should take this seriously.
If you are concerned about "free speech," you should probably be concerned about the top Republican candidate for the presidency calling for the Constitution, which includes the First Amendment, to be suspended.
CJSmith7880@juddlegum On reflection, tfg would probably retain the 2nd half of the 2nd Amendment, though. Because gunz.
mechtild jdHey we can have slavery reinstituted too.
Stan Fletcher@mechtild55 @CJSmith7880 @juddlegum Oh, you just know that’s one of the first things TFG would love to get rid of.
@IrwinFletcher0 @CJSmith7880 @juddlegum
GOP, they'd be putting out Welcome mats at the borders
Thedogspaw@mechtild55 @CJSmith7880 @juddlegum Kanye West and were going to stop bad mouthing slave holders too some of them taught there slaves to read gave them enough to eat and didn't rape or beat them

Aeuropean@mechtild55 @paninid @juddlegum is he still saying he won the election he lost? The USA is so broken.

Of course! It's his only "policy" position, look at me!

You know how Trump's always bragging about the biggest crowd ever? About being the 1st ever?
He will eventually get his wish. Both of them.
On trial. Live. On TV. The whole country willing be watching. Except not MAGAs of course.
(Heard a prediction last night or on morning Joe this morning. Georgia likely to be the 1st to indict Trump.)
@joeinwynnewood @mechtild55 @paninid @juddlegum looking like the republicans are going for the most crazy people they can find rather than a good politician.
@AnotherEuropean @mechtild55 @paninid @juddlegum
It's certainly Trump's (only?) path to the nomination, maintain/grow support from the furthest right fringes of the regressive-right.

@AnotherEuropean @paninid @juddlegum
His favorite subject. He's especially pissed because judges he appointed ruled against him this week.
One being those 11000 documents he stole, claiming they were his, he has to return. He better start packing!
Yes we are broken. When one thinks it can't get worse, it does. Now we have Nazis hobnobbing within the Republican Party.
Nicolay Doytchev@mechtild55 @paninid @juddlegum
Oh how convenient! Find a problem, declare that the constitution can't deal with it, then suspend it, because only you can solve it. This guy can't be more formulaic if he tried.
@lightrush @paninid @juddlegum
Nothing creative about this guy except, to put it nicely, creative financing.
Note: The Constitution is set up as "articles." Article 1, Article II, etc. His use of that word was no accident nor insignificant.
Rules and regulations refer to Agency law..FDA, FCC, etc.
He did not write that section. He doesn't know enough law to have written it. Someone who knows the #law did. Take heed.
JB@juddlegum he is driven to say ever more outrageous things to get the media fix his miserable soul craves.
NYCBrxBrklynGirl🧜♀️@JBShakerman @juddlegum Exactly. He's a great deflection artist. Because he knows he's going to be disqualified to run as soon as DOJ and NY AG are done with him. He lives for the attention grabbing bs rants.
toxtethogrady@juddlegum Trump is proving himself to be un-American scum. Worse than that also-ran congressional candidate in Arizona who sought to invalidate the elections in their entirety by claiming failure to do so would ruin the Republic for him, his family and like-minded members of his community.
Kriselda Gray@juddlegum He's claiming there's some new big revelation that proves the 2020 election was "fraudulent." Any idea what he's referring to? I'm just curious as to,what he thinks would be worth suspending the Constitution over...
Rhinestone Squirrel@Kriselda @juddlegum As we all know, the Constitution existed long before the 2022 election. Even if there is some "smoking gun" they haven't revealed yet, I fail to see how that equates to "suspend the Constitution." Is he implying that the forefathers could somehow see into the future and knew someday, hundreds of years later, that a Presidential election would be "stolen," so they wrote the Constitution to screw him over? So the Constitution is "fraudulent"? 😂
@antimagaglitterbomb @juddlegum As delusional as he is, its quite possible...
Iwillyeah@antimagaglitterbomb @Kriselda @juddlegum in fairness, I think he means that the gravity of having a presidental election stolen should result in constitutional rights being suspended to, say, allow for summary execution of the people who make him feel sad, or whatever. He thinks he should be king now.
@Iwillyeah He's just desperately throwing things at the wall hoping something will stick at this point.
@Iwillyeah I suspect the only thing that will be sticking is ketchup, though. 😆
🌻 Welcome Back 🌻@antimagaglitterbomb @Kriselda @juddlegum There's no smoking gun. He had 60 court cases to bring evidence. Zippo. Total waste of tax payer money
@Scotter I absolutely agree. I was just saying hypothetically. We all know he is full of poop.
Sun & Rain@Kriselda @juddlegum apparently they're now claiming 5000 twitter users overturned the 2020 election
@KeriC9 @juddlegum LOL! so, trump's no good at math, either eh?
Catmama 🐈@Kriselda @juddlegum I believe he's referring to the "revelations" a certain journo tweeted after receiving internal docs from SpaceKaren that "proved" Twitter's left-leaning bias under former management, specifically relating to Twitter's decision to take down posts related to an article in NY Post about Hunter Biden. All that somehow
goes to "prove" the election was rigged, or something, in MAGA-land.

@Catmama @juddlegum Oh, sure, ok. That makes perfect sense... or at least as much sense as anything MAGAts believe...
Stormcrow@juddlegum Free speech until the GOP complete their coup, which seems pretty fucking likely right now.
CatLover@juddlegum he said to get the crap Musk dropped talked about. nothing more. now everyone is doing exactly that. he knows how to promote propaganda. as if he has help from somewhere.
Joseph Ottinger@juddlegum just for clarification, who's the top republican candidate you're speaking of? If it's trump, I have a hard time reconciling the claim if his being an actual viable candidate.
@joseph @juddlegum until he is legally disqualified, he will be their first pick. And even then...
@Iwillyeah @juddlegum well, with all due respect, of every republican I know, it's less than 5% - being generous - that would support a trump candidacy. If he somehow has success in the primaries again, I call shenanigans a la 2016.
@joseph @juddlegum I am gratified to hear the voters aren't interested in him. As an outsider looking in though, it really does seem like the decision makers are still taking him seriously. The only people who moved to condeem his bullshit this week were Jewish Republicans. The others seemed reluctant to say much at all, and even less directly about him.
@Iwillyeah @juddlegum well, he did get the media to push him in 2016 as an easy lamb to the slaughter... And that sort of crap emboldens himmajd diminishes his critics, rather sensibly. And I don't think the media learned from that, nor do I think the gop nor voters... Nor the democrats, who spent millions of dollars promoting the worst republicans in 2022, as well.
I think they're all insane. Bottom line for me: distrust anyone else's narrative of how I vote. Liars.
Sasha Fox@juddlegum Instead they think "free speech" is solely about being able to share Hunter Biden's dick pics on every social media website.
lolonurse@juddlegum
At what point are they going to gag him?

Ted_Cville@juddlegum His cult following doesn't care at all, and that's a BIG part of our problem!
CRITTON CHILDERS@juddlegum
Please don't give him more oxygen...maybe he'll just go away if we ignore his tantrums.

@juddlegum do you really think he’s the top candidate? I’ve seen polls showing DeSantis beating him in all early states and nationally. It’s early but I think DeSantis has the momentum.
Scrappypitbull@juddlegum that’s a-ok with the party when it benefits them on some level
Jon R@juddlegum “Terminated.” people keep saying suspended. The word he used was termination.
JLSA@juddlegum
What?? When/where did he say that!?!

For transparency (and those who don't want to click through), here's the pertinent quotation:
"“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump wrote [on Truth Social]"
Toxteth O'Grady@juddlegum Let's ask all the Constitutionalists what they think of this. And of course, we all know the only reason for Trump to want to be reinstated is so he can stop what's happening to him in various courts of law, which threaten to imprison him and take from him his beloved Trump Organization...
@juddlegum People in Hell want ice water...
