I agree it's probably true, but he hasn't been convinced of insurrection (yet), has he? The sixth amendment to the Constitution guarantees a fair trial, no?
So the sitting government decided their opponent is guilty of "The act or an instance of open revolt against civil authority or a constituted government", and then told you and everyone else you're not allowed to vote for him. Could that not be applied to all opposition?
That's not concerning? What if it's switched next time?
Is there a certain point where someone is belligerent enough to be required to have their vocal cords surgically removed? Because if there is, Donald Trump has to be getting close.
[Trump] recently suggested that he would order the arrest and prosecution of Mr Biden and other top Democrats, also told the assembled Iowa voters that he’d assemble a “deportation force” to remove more than 7,000,000 migrants from the country without due process.
I'm getting nostalgic for the days when all he thought he could get away with was shooting a guy on Fifth Avenue.
Nothing wrong with that article title at all. Also, Idaho really really wants to start killing women apparently. Which is totally fine and a normal thing for a state government to do. Jesus fuck, I want to go back to being a kid in the 80’s. The ice cream man was the high point of my day, and I hoped against hope that somehow my parents would be able to afford a Power Wheels. And those were the extent of my life concerns.
This is actually a very important distinction. To say that he cannot both work for the citizens as a paid member of the administration and work on the campaign.
they would support the Supreme Court either disqualifying former President Trump from presidential ballots across the country or letting states decide whether to include him on their ballots.
The letting states decide part might be the kicker
The title is disingenuous. 30% of those polled would want him banned from all ballots. 26% would want it to be left up to the states to decide (ie red states still vote for him and blue states can't)
I’m waiting for the unmarked vans full of unmarked people to start kidnapping ordinary people off the street (again)— like what happened in his first 4 years.
Remember the George Floyd/BLM protests in Portland where that actually happened? It was a test for Trump to see what is legal and it was never challenged in court.
A huge one full of many many things that went unexamined because of the FLooD Of BuLlShiT.
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.
