Donald Trump can run for president, even as a larcenist who stole some of the nation’s most sensitive classified documents.
Trump can run for president as a man whose lies are so profound and so prolific that even after counting and documenting tens of thousands of deceits, the world has lost count.
Trump can run for president as a man who was forced to pay a woman millions when a jury concluded he sexually assaulted her and then slandered her.
Trump can run for president even though he tried to force Georgia officials to undermine the 2020 presidential election process in that state and cheat citizens who voted against him.
Trump can run for president as a racist, who once said an Indiana born judge in California could not take part in a case involving Trump’s border wall because he was “Mexican.”
Trump can run for president even though he has repeatedly bashed Muslims and Muslim Americans, inciting racism and hate.
Trump can run for president amidst his increasingly extremist vulgar and dangerous racist and fascist rhetoric, calling people of color immigrating to the United States “vermin” and repeatedly insisting minority immigrants are “poisoning the nation’s blood.”
Trump can even run for president from a prison cell, if justice is finally served against him for the growing catalog of crimes he’s committed.
But Trump cannot run for president because he incited and participated in an insurrection against the U.S. government on Jan. 6, 2021.
The U.S. Constitution clearly bars anyone who’s participated in or led an insurrection against the United States government from running for any office — any office, every office, for president — Colorado Supreme Court justices agreed, according to an Associated Press story this week.
The Constitutional limit does not require a courtroom conviction. His conviction by Republicans and Democrats in the House, and voluminous evidence against him made public, make his guilt unequivocal.
The amendment invoked against Trump, by Colorado Republicans, bars anyone like Trump from any elected office, anywhere.
“Siding with attorneys for six Colorado Republican and unaffiliated voters who argued that it was nonsensical to imagine that the framers of the amendment, fearful of former confederates returning to power, would bar them from low-level offices but not the highest one in the land,” according to a Dec. 19 story.
“President Trump asks us to hold that Section 3 disqualifies every oath breaking insurrectionist except the most powerful one, and that it bars oath-breakers from virtually every office, both state and federal, except the highest one in the land,” the court’s majority opinion said. “Both results are inconsistent with the plain language and history of Section 3.”
Most likely, it was simply unthinkable to post-Civil-War legislators that anyone who had participated in an insurrection, as Trump has, would have the temerity to even consider running for president.
No one could have anticipated anything like Trump.
Given the long list of egregious behaviors that don’t preclude someone running for the nation’s top office, it shines a light on the one person considered too dangerous to be president: an insurrectionist.
And that’s Donald Trump, singled out for being ineligible for the 2024 presidential ballot.
I think most of your opinions aren’t worth my time so it’s very seldom I will even glance at one but in this case I couldn’t let this one by without a comment. President Trump was and still is one of the best if not the best President this country has seen. The current president is a liar. The current president has committed treason. The current president doesn’t care what the constitution says because he thinks and trys to do things that have been declared unconstitutional. The government’s main purpose is to protect the people of the United States but with an open border that is not bring done. Inflation is out of control because of the idiot that is in the white house. He is just utterly stupid. He says he isn’t behind in the polls and that the majority of the American people approve of him. Either he is just lying as usual or he is stupid. I would guess it’s a little bit of both. President Trump had us energy independent for the first time ever. Gasoline was around $2.00 a gallon. He is a businessman which is what that office needs. The big difference between President Trump and the current president is that Trump loves this country and wants to do what is in the best interests of the country where Biden thinks of himself first and doesn’t have the country’s best interests at heart. Biden started in politics as an average person and through everything he has done he is a millionaire. That should not happen and that isn’t what the founding father’s had envisioned. Biden is a crook and should be prosecuted for all of the illegal things he has done. Lastly the absurd decision from the Colorado Supreme Court will be overturned by the United States Supreme Court. Colorado used to be a place I was proud to live but with all this woke crap and it being a sanctuary for illegals I’m ashamed to say I live here.
So make Colorado Great Again – move!
LOL, a lot of people already are because your kind turned it into a slack-jawed, drug-addled cesspit.
That’s the only thing you liberals know to do and that is to name call or make some sort of derogatory comment because there is nothing good to say about Biden or Harris.
Amazing. Everything written in this letter is wrong.
Seriously, it’s quite an achievement.
Amazing. The commie malbushim wrote the stupidest response ever.
That’s par for the course, though.
Umm, I think you have the names of the presidents reversed.
Hey Charles,
Hate to break it to you, but you are “too stupid to know you are stupid.”Just keep drinking the kool aide, or maybe the bleach and Lysol that Trump said might cure COVID. Oh, I forgot, COVID is a democrat hoax, just like your way if thinking.
Your side can’t even figure out how to pay off its student loans, you’re in no position to be flexing about anyone’s intelligence, chimp-o.
Is your brain orphaned from reality? I mean really. What you write is so stupid. You might want to make an audio of your writings
and use them in a comedy show.
Oh yes your “dear leader” had a Christmas message to his rivals. He said may they rot in hell. Be careful what you wish for Donald. You are a true SCUMBAG!
And thank you Charles for making accusations without any EVIDENCE, rather based on Fox News and Newsmax BULLSHIT! Oh, and by the way Fox had to settle a lawsuit for $787.5 million and soon Newsmax will face the same. So keep repeating your nonsense. Polly want a cracker?
Everything thing I said can be backed up. The only thing you know to do is try and make those who disagree feel like they don’t matter by making your ridiculous bullying comments but so you know those childish behaviors do not affect me.
Sorry Charlie. Not a “liberal”, but rather someone with a three digit IQ, who doesn’t just repeat crap, and who can think independently.
Hate to break it to you but the sun rises in the East, sets in the West, and the moon is not made of green cheese, even if your “dear leader
“Kim Un Trump” may not believe it. EVIDENCE, where is it Charles.
Gee ask Fox News why they paid $787.5 million to Dominion, with more lawsuits coming. Ask “fart face” Rudy Giuliani how he will pay his law suits off. Maybe you will contribute to his legal defense fund. I would suspect you have a big mouth but a small wallet!
“Not a “liberal”, but rather someone with a three digit IQ”–LOL, talk about an assertion not in evidence.
I cannot believe people want this “Mob-boss” as a president!!! Seriously!
Anyone that has turned on him is batter-dipped and fried! Just like a Mob-boss. Republicans need to get with it and find someone….ANYONE else to run. Better yet, let’s get rid of the parties and united the nation again!
Good for you,
But please stay true to your Republican values. Yes this idiot has hijacked the party and made it into a cult. But like all cults it will end in a disgrace for him. And those cult members that followed him blindly will deny they had much to do with him. But they will also pay the price for their ignorance and stupidity.
