There is not, and has not been, any conviction of insurrection during the lifetimes of anyone who is a currently living American. To ban a candidate on the basis of your hatred for them is simply a HATE CRIME, with zero legal justification.
I know what you mean. Just because an ex president tries to overthrow the constitutional government to stay in office couldn't be a reason to keep him from running again. All the ex presidents have tried it.
The article of the Constitution being cited doesn't require a conviction. The person who has been banned so far in two states isn't disputing his actions, only that he is immune from prosecution.
As much as Democrats have attempted to install a draconian dictatorial politburo (ie the gulag panel calling itself the January 6th committee), we still live in a Republic guided by Constitutional law. Biden and his son constitute a very real threat, but he is rapidly falling into the dustbin of history. His impeachment for numerous crimes, but among his top offenses, has been treasonous election interference, the interference in Hunter's subpoenaed testimony, and his use of office for private familial personal financial gain in conjunction and in collusion with enemies of the United States and various terrorist organizations. The US Supreme Court will be coming online shortly to add voice to these conclusions
You sir--are truly GONE. I can't imagine how people like you ACTUALLY believe that stuff. Everything you type applies to the right wing --trump lovers and trump himself.
Although I must say--it's truly interesting to see an actual human that believes what you've typed in here.
WOW! I can't even think of response to this gibberish. Maybe you should have had a rabies shot when offered.
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
I think someone is missing the point. The person in question was not banned from the ballot because he is hated (that part is too obvious) but more obviously the crime of inciting an insurrection against the government... simple as that. The hate is something contrived and used against those who criticize the obvious...simply more disinformation.
Gosh; it almost sounds like some Trump supporters would like to trash the Constitution. That bit wasn't obvious to me. I wonder what the part of North America would look like after that tumultuous period of change. I doubt it would continue to be the USA. I find it amazing (and sad) that right wingers in different countries have a wish list such that if they achieved everything they want, they would require the destruction of that which they cherish most. Mind-blowing.
There have been some amazing stories lately concerning the use of MDMA in helping people to psychologically cope with differing mental problems. I mean this sincerely----I have certainly made fun of and called people stupid and various other epithets over their radical beliefs. But after all----these folks are human--they are our fellow citizens, as misguided as I believe they happen to be. It REALLY is difficult for me to understand how people --such as the coach--can get so far down the rabbit hole of disinformation as he has. How many of these folks need and deserve help? How do they get it? Do they want it? Of course not. If the coach reads this--he will hate what I have written and probably think of me as a pretentious prick. I am concerned for these HARD--HARD right wingers.I wish coach well, actually. Not that my beliefs are the be all and end all.
It is simple. Folks like Coach feed on a diet of Fox News which has been proven to be filled with lies. This diet will warp any mind.
I think maybe a root cause of all this unhappiness and unwillingness to search out real facts for so many , might stem from the monetary inequality in society where the super rich seem to own most everything , control most everything, anti unionism against working people, the capitalist system running out of control with the price of everything and education being out of the reach of too many. Although it is amazing that one person--Donald J. Trump has been / is able to fuck up the whole country. I think many trump lovers are expressing their dislike of the existing conditions because of the aforementioned reasons---and others. It will be the end of democracy if this continues--it's already begun to fracture.
Lester Thurow, MIT economist from Livingston, Mt raised this very possibility in a 1980s lecture at the University of Montana. He indicated that when the wealthy had extracted as much as they could from the non-industrialized world, they would turn on the rest of us.
Yes ---they've done that and have now moved on to extracting as much from the industrialized world as is humanly possible and will continue to do so until the only inhabitable places left on the earth will be fortified enclaves protected by paid goons. The rest of humanity will be resorting to the most historically brutal period that has taken place on the face of this soon to be dead planet. HAVE A NICE DAY AND DON'T FORGET---------------------------BUY MORE----BUY MORE NOW.!! Of course , humanity will come to their senses one day and everything will be hunky- fuckin' dory. Yup--you betcha!
24 times CNN got it wrong... 24 Times CNN Got It Wrong (msn.com) .... and these don't even include Hunter's laptop, or the 55 national intelligence officials who lied and signed to save the 2020 election for Joe Biden, or any of his stashed classified docs... the list goes on
