❗️

“In a surprise move, an judge has removed former President Donald from the state’s ballot based on the ’s so-called “insurrectionist ban.”

He’ll have time to appeal.

@GottaLaff Sorry it just crossed my timeline saying BREAKING tho I see it was originally 18 hours ago.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@SteveThompson I know, the BREAKING always throws me when they use it on TV for old news.

I always look at time stamps, btw.

@GottaLaff Guess I will now, too.

@GottaLaff

Doesn't mean much, save depressing downballot turnout. IL is not a swing state. But fun to see him have to burn some more cash fighting it.

@GottaLaff Great news! I hope many more such decisions follow!

I can't believe today started with Marianne Williamson. Seems like 400 hours ago.

@GottaLaff Of course he'll appeal, he's the sorest of sore losers.

Best news all day (for the week too)!

@GottaLaff He'll appeal, but
1)That's no reason not to do it
2)Standing up to fascism is always important
3)Let him appeal, it'll cost him money & take time from campaigning
4)This will hopefully encourage more states to do the same
5)Let's bury him in lawsuits so he has to spend all his time and what money he has left appealing them.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@samhainnight I never suggested they shouldn’t do it. I’m just not too excited. SCOTUS will screw us on this too

samhainnight ,
@samhainnight@mstdn.social avatar

@GottaLaff Oh, for sure. But in the meantime, let's keep him busy in court.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@samhainnight Definitely!

@GottaLaff this is great! 'Death by 1000 cuts' for trump. I'm good with that.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@timo21 Yes but he’ll appeal

timo21 ,
@timo21@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@GottaLaff That's OK. Trump has to spend time and money appealing it. Along with all the other cases. We are biting flies and mosquitos taking down an old wounded caribou. Then the wolves can finish the job. Which wolves will show up, it's hard to say. As long as we keep up the pressure, we are winning.

@Wileymiller@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff
Well, this is an appealing development.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Wileymiller It is. But he’ll appeal.

Wileymiller ,
@Wileymiller@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff
Yes, I know. That was my double meaning. You must be getting tired.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Wileymiller I wondered but wasn’t sure. You’re right, I’m exhausted

@GottaLaff @Wileymiller
I'm still livid over SCOTUS giving him a 7 week delay before even hearing the immunity case, never mind the fact tat they're freakin' doing it. Somebody on the court is dissenting or they woudn't have done this.

Illinois is just noise as far as I'm concerned at this point.

@madopal@mstdn.social avatar

@GottaLaff @NIH_LLAMAS Yeah, but maybe 3 weeks until primary. Glad someone else is using his stall tactics against him.

@GottaLaff I'm well into my "golden years", and I never imagined that an American judge would disqualify a presidential candidate because they incited an insurrection. Of course, I never imagined that a losing president would incite an insurrection, so there's that.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@OldFartPhil Ditto
