Fuck this rat traitor, if there is such a thing as a reverse silver lining, it's that her family has been getting away with this behavior for far too long already. Now, shit is finally hitting the fan.
Can't wait for this to be the best day of the rest of her life. Hopefully there's no where left where she can go live in peace, and her life is a constant barrage of people shitting on her.
Unpopular opinion, I agree. Trump should already be in prison for his many crimes, but that doesn't mean letting states decide individually whether he should be on the ballot (as a free man for some fuckin' reason) is a good idea.
Also, I enjoyed this quite a lot:
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson ... asked Trump’s lawyer, Jonathan Mitchell, whether he would concede that his client had engaged in insurrection.
Mitchell pushed back, saying, “President Trump did not engage in any act that can be plausibly characterized as insurrection.”
An insurrection, he added, “needs to be an organized, concerted effort to overthrow the government of the United States through violence.”
Jackson appeared incredulous at the narrow definition of the term.
“So your point is that a chaotic effort to overthrow the government is not an insurrection?” she asked.
Well, but what if states start to decide that Biden doesn't qualify, because the intent of the framers was clearly badda badda badda et cetera?
I'm not saying we have to avoid anything that might give the Republicans an excuse to do something nuts, but it genuinely is just weird and un-called for to have each individual state decide individually whether a candidate for a federal election should be in the race or not. In my opinion.
Then just like the j6 committee there would have to be a congressional bi partisan hearing like there was for trump to determine what the charges are and what the facts are.
You guys act like someone just claimed "trump doesn't qualify" and there isn't actual proof. If the GOP tries to do this to Biden go ahead. There is literally no proof of biden causing an insurrection.

Sounds great. Like I say, I think it's grossly foolish that the federal government hasn't tried to give Trump more consequences than they have. Beer Hall Putsch etc.

When did I say that? There's plenty of proof; it's on video. I just think the states making major decisions (not operational decisions about running the election, which is clearly in their purview) about the federal elections is going to lead to a civil-war-inciting mess.
There are several Republican state legislatures that are saying that they have the right to determine for themselves which electors their states should send to Washington, not the will of the voters in their state. That's clearly wrong also (criminal), but it's a little hard for me to see the difference between that and the power you're claiming that the states have to disqualify Trump.
I mean, if you could wave a magic wand and say that states are allowed to make their own decisions about the federal elections, but only if those decisions are right and truthful, then sure. You can say they can disqualify Trump, because Trump should actually be disqualified. You can say they can't disqualify Biden, though, etc etc. But... that's not how these systems works. Absent you or I being the determiners of what disqualifications states are or aren't allowed to make, I would rather fall back on "major questions about the federal election are decided federally."
That's exactly how these systems work tho. The states have a mechanism to determine if someone is eligible. They determined trump is not. "What if they did it to someone innocent" isn't even a question here.. you are the one who brought it up and made it one.
It's a little known fact (they take all of it off the Internet when it surfaces, this post will probably get deleted soon), but the FAA controls the outcome of hockey and have since 1973.
In order to keep things extra hush hush, they cannot let the Flyers win again, it was just too close last time they did. The evidence is in the fights to...
I can't speak for every case where they should be sued into the ground, but wouldn't the person they're defaming be the one that has to bring the charges? The shooter isn't in much of a position to do so (unless the family can?).
I'd love to see some LGBT+ organizations bring charges since they're drumming up this rhetoric to stir up hatred toward that community, but I honestly don't know if they would have legal standing to do so.
Libel is published is a better way to think of it. This is slander but can you slander a group? Like seriously is it slander when someone claims that John Wilkes Booth was Jewish? Or is it just a prelude to crimes against humanity without consequences except to the victims?
