Yep, even in a semi banana republic they are able to quickly crack down on insurrectionists. Clear cut criming.

SC Justice Roberts has the sads that someone who commits an insurrection, and a party who then nominates that insurrectionist, might not be able to be president. The solution being, of course: don’t fuqking commit insurrection or hang your entire political party on an insurrectionist. This is on the GOP. They could nominate a qualified candidate. Why should that corrupt party have more right to the presidency than those who abide by the constitution?
yeah the dissolution of the GOP as an independent political party is one of the major stories of this era. Parties used to filter out the dangerous particles like Trump. Now the GOP is simply in the service of Trump, no matter what he wants to do. No matter what. Costing the nation bigtime.
Agip - is this your last ditch effort? Because Trump IS going to be on the ballot and he IS going to win re-election.

They became his b*tch permanently so if they reverse course now they'll all go down with him. They are far past the event horizon and just don't know it yet.. or maybe they do but feel helpless since they invested everything in him.

LOLz, can't wait to once again laugh in your face for months and years

Someone is absolutely terrified and his name begins with a G and follows with ina and concludes with a mator. Terrified absolutely.

Dear Sally - I am here for the laughs. I've been laughing since 2020 and will continue laughing until at least 2028. I'll be waiting impatiently for your delicious tears.

last ditch? Sally, trump is ballot box poison. He got creamed 4 years ago. Under his leadership the R party has lost lost lost.
But yeah this 14A thing is probably not going to keep trump off the ballot. SCOTUS will say states cannot be the arbiter of who is an insurrectionist.
The good news is that congress might be that arbiter and might have to give Trump a pardon in order for Trump to take the office as president.
The bad news is that means Trump's no doubt unqualified and extreme liar he picks as veep might be the next president. God help us. We're probably doomed.

These Supreme Court Justices are dissecting the meaning and intentions of the US constitution to determine if Trump belongs on the ballot. At the same time Trump publicly says he will suspend the constitution whenever he sees fit.
I am sure that our right wingers will be OK if states defy the Supreme Court if the ruling does not come down their way in the same way they celebrate Greg Abbot defying the Supreme Court in Texas.

For as long as someone like trump can get elected yeah we have a serious problem. There are too many holes to plug and democratic vulnerabilities to address, and as a country we clearly haven't even begun to. But unless Biden gets seriously ill Trump WILL lose. I want trump on the ballot so he cements his status as GOAT loser. The combination of the GOP and FOX is too dangerous for Biden to have to run against another candidate (Nikki in this case). All it would take if for that machinery to unite behind her. Of course it's too late for that, so they are stuck with loser trump and we get 4 more years of Dark Brandon.

trollie not sure you understand how extreme a winning hand the Rs have in terms of the border. It's going to be nearly a one-issue election: can trump do better on the border and does that give people the ok to excuse his awfulness and vote for trump.
All this nice talk we do about democracy and coups wont' matter...it will be about Guatamalans and Hondurans.

Interesting that all news outlets are freely calling what happened in Brazil a coup attempt but they refuse to do that with Trump.
When the "coup" participants are waving the flags proudly and marching peacefully within the Halls of Congress peacefully with the Capitol police, there is no way in heck you can call it anything but a protest. Come on dude!
Sally, you'll have to forgive Teaparty Trevor. He probably forgot that they were waving flags.
You have spent hours and thousands of keystrokes fighting endlessly arguing that what happened on Jan 6th was most certainly not an insurrection.
Your Mensa boy Donnie J Trump just called it an insurrection moments ago. (caused by Nikki Haley aka Nancy Pelosi).
Going forward take up your semantic arguments with Trump. We will continue to call it what Trump calls it for simplicity. It is much less wordy than "committing illegal acts to stay in power despite the will of voters".

My bad. it was not a coup because of the flags. And those thousands of flags seen in Brazil's coup were fake. Those were photoshopped in later.
