    If a few hours of protests made you soil your drippers, then imagine a far larger group actually being upset and taking action. It will be the Summer of Love 2.0.

    Was has Trump been charged and convicted of? Just imagine If law enforcement punished a POC without a charge or conviction, what would your reaction be? Yes, went there.

    Where did you read that Trump had to have been convicted of insurrection to be disqualified?

    Take your time answering that.

    Next, Trump is criminally charged with illegally attempting to overturn the election.

    If he's found guilty, will you abide by the verdict?

    We do appreciate you confirming there is nothing Democrats won't concoct to interfere with elections then claim they are following the constitution because they don't like the opponent who is kicking their ass.
    Speaking of cults, how is it the people magically can't read the entire constitution and only the parts they want to enforce every time they lose in the SCOTUS, like
    Their hundreds of 2nd amendment losses
    Their Abortion rights losses
    Their Jack Smith leap frogging over the appellant court losses
    Their mask mandate losses
    Their mandated vaccine losses
    Their expand the court losses
    Their gun restriction losses
    Their civil rights losses
    Their mandated bathroom losses

    History just isn't on your side. Is it.
    And the only ones chanting Trumps name in every thread going back 8 years over and over and over are leftist. There isn't a day goes by that another couple of leftist threads about how Trump hurt their feelings is posted.
    And you claim people who support Trump are cultist?

    And just so you can prepare yourself for this next SCOTUS loss, (Like all the others) they already looked at this idiocy.
    And surprise, surprise, surprise, these same constitutional squawking leftist were all wrong yet again.

    Funny how they say he's the big threat to democracy but look at what they're doing with the system.... Doing exactly what they accuse others of

    This has SFA to do with 'democracy' and all to do with your 'dumb' Constitution, and a grab bag of different State electoral laws.

    Are you serious?

    I'd have to see the evidence. So far no one has produced any which is probably why he hasn't been charged or convicted.

    The 14th says “engaged in”, “convicted of” isn’t mentioned.

    You hang on to what you can.

    Even if SCOTUS reversed all disqualifying judgments against Trump, your guy faces 4 criminal trials in 2024.

    4...

    92 criminal charges.

    Do you really think Americans are going to open the doors of the WH for him to self-pardon?

    Yes.

    Isn't my question simple enough? Don't you understand?

    LoL

    You're preparing arguments to reject the verdict.... because you know Trump will be convicted.

    No, it says shall have engaged in.
    Yet like most Democrats you guys love to look at the constitution through your magnifying glasses to take a single phrase or sentence to make yet another out of context claim thats shot down by the SCOTUS so always, as you can't have any amendment that opposes anything already in the constitution.

    And you don't have to repeat the same 6th amendment over and over because its applied to everything in the constitution.
    Including your 14th amendment.
    And just like the very same Democrats claims shot down over the Emoluments clause, the SCOTUS already shot this idiocy down in October. But that wasn't good enough for Democrats to get a clue so now they will have to do it AGAIN so everyone can pay attention.

    No, they are following the constitution, which is the essence of democracy.

    If you read the 14th amendment, section three, you will find that it's up to a 2/3rd majority vote by congress to decide if an elected official is guilty of insurrection. This is why the SC will rightfully rule against both CO. and ME. This is not a state's right decision to make.

    I sense a bit of bitterness and jealousy that we have a constitution.

    But that's besides the point because nothing being done here is remotely constitutional.

    Election officials don't just get to decide who can and can't run. I mean they do in third world banana republics and that's what the Democrats are pushing for

    So if Arnold Schwarzenegger were to run for president, at what point should he be removed from the ballot?

    You should probably go look at how minority voters are leaving the Democrat party vote right now.
    Its not pretty
