Trump lost Colorado… This is a state judge, and quite frankly the fear and cowardice some of you people are showing for Trump 2024 is hilarious.

And liberals wonder why everyone else calls them spineless.

The provision explicitly bans insurrectionists from serving as US senators, representatives, and even presidential electors – but it does not say presidents. It says it covers “any office, civil or military, under the United States,” and Wallace ruled that this does not include the office of the presidency.

None of that means we shouldn’t talk about the ruling

Its an incoherent ruling.

Sure, it’s obviously partisan hackery, but “Doomed us all” is just outright hysterical.

If he wins, there’s going to be insane backlash, if he loses (while on ballots), there’s going to be insane backlash. After Jan 6, who knows what else they’ll try?

There is a lot of stupid in this thread, including yours. Trump is the greatest domestic threat to the United States. Attempting to overthrow a fair election and pushing FUD to undermine trust in the system are seriously destructive. Best case scenario is we’re fixing this shit for decades.

Trump didn’t succeed. But he’s opened the gates for others to try. Caesar wasn’t the first to march on Rome.

He referred to his opponents as vermin, and his campaign manager doubled down. So yes, there’s some fear. The man mimics Hitler’s phrasing and attempted a coup.

Your last statement is an ad hominem fallacy, not great for actual debates. Are you suggesting that it’s cowardice to remove him from ballots? What’s the brave tactic in this situation? Let the man attempt another coup using his bigoted dog whistles?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
