Donald Trump is disqualified from becoming president again because he incited the insurrection on January 6th.
We don't mean that figuratively, we mean that literally. It's in the Constitution.
limbodog@rbreich Oh how I wish the laws were applied equally to everyone.
Roknrol@rbreich Yeah, and people who steal TS documents and are a flight risk don't get let out of jail, even if they pinky swear.
Oh, wait...
HalDe 🧢🦕@rbreich But... but... it was just some tourists visiting...
Ghost of Silence@rbreich even were this not the case it wouldn't matter. Can't win a primary without him, can't win a general with him. Republicans are just now realizing how deep they dug their own hole. Now they can't climb out of it.
Shawn@rbreich “we don’t care.” - average GOP voters.
Panamint@rbreich Donald the Dunce Trump the Chump needs lots of money to pay all his current and future bills coming due. He’s a short term transactional vampire grifting for money. He’s a tick that’s head and shoulders deep into the back of the USA with his legs flailing about in every direction. Who’s got a lighter?
Stargeezer Smith@rbreich
Who must invoke this?
Who must invoke this?
Rick@rbreich Amendment 14(3), but who will actually enforce it, the DOJ, not unless Alvin Bragg is appointed USAG, Congress, not with the MAGA controlling one House, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Gigawatt121@rbreich yeah but who has the stones to enforce this?
CJ PalomaHonestly I think millions of us would...
Which is exactly why -we- are not among the group of corrupt decision makers that big money (and huge corporations) groom and promote as "leaders"
Maybe not, but never say never. A lot can happen in 18 months. A critical mass could force some changes...
And if we don't, the planet will soon enough be exacting her revenge on us all anyway, so ...
marca56@rbreich only if he’s actually indicted and convicted for that— then he will barred from running for or holding any elected or appointed public office— so I hope that Jack Smith does his job and holds him accountable. Finally.
Oakwalker@rbreich the same is true for every congressperson and senator who voted to nullify the election AFTER THE INSURRECTION, while the ambulances were still processing the wounded police forces WHO HAD JUST SAVED THEIR VERY LIVES.
Expel every last one of them.
Expel every last one of them.
PamBerg@rbreich I think we need to have that Proven because he says he is going to run anyways.
John Meadows@rbreich That only works if the rule of law actually worked in the US. You have the best justice system money can buy, and tens of millions of Americans are wilfully ignorant of what’s going on, and/or are thrilled that that their prejudices and fundamentalist wet dream fantasies are being enabled. That is what the US is truly fucked. Admit it to yourself.
Wm.sonIf it were that simple. And decided by law.
Lisa joy@rbreich OK, but how do we enforce that now that he has declared his candidacy?
