There's no quicker route to a civil war than a bunch of democrats removing a republican from ballots in states across the country. It's an awful precedence, and nothing I ever thought I'd see in my lifetime

[KUTradition]

why do you hate the Constitution?

seriously though, if the threat of violence is all you’ve got…

[jhawks99]

This was put into the constitution to keep the last group of insurrectionists out of power.

In your lifetime? Are you two and a half?

Is your position then that all someone has to do to avoid consequences for committing a crime is to become a Republican and declare for a candidacy to public office?

Whah!!! Cry me a river.

Seeing a cult-leader try to prevent the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in our nation's ~ 240 year history because he's too much of a pussy to admit he lost by whipping up his sore loser cult members is nothing we thought we'd ever see in our lifetimes, either.

Play insurrectionist games, win insurrectionist prizes.

Must be a natural-born citizen of the United States Check

Must be at least 35 years old Check

Must have been a resident of the United States for 14 years Check

Must not have attempted an insurrection Fail

i wonder how many immigrants have better mastery of the English language than our dear randal

Trump said it best.
He loves the under-educated

[Shirley]

For the record, because we all make mistakes when we post, it doesn't feel right to point it out when someone does because...glass houses. But, when that someone, Randy, isn't bashful about going all "I told you so" proclaiming his intellectual preeminence regularly on subjects about which he obviously knows little about, it can be hard to resist.

[Shirley]

Alex Wagner looks at an exchange from 1866, highlighted in the ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court, between Senators Reverdy Johnson and Lot Morrill about whether the 14th Amendment they were drafting would apply to presidents and vice presidents. In sum, yes it does.

Original records leave no question that the 14th Amendment applies to Trump

Friend,
State Supreme Court judges ALL appointed by Democrats just REMOVED my name from the 2024 ballot in Colorado.
The Soros-funded Democrats who incited the lawsuit will immediately use this tyrannical ruling to challenge us in the remaining 49 states.
Crooked Joe and the Democrats know they can’t beat us at the ballot box, so their new plan is to nullify every single “Trump ballot” in the nation to keep Biden in the White House.
Make no mistake: WE WILL APPEAL THIS DECISION IMMEDIATELY.
We will take this fight all the way to the UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
Please make a contribution to join the fight to keep my name on the 2024 ballot and peacefully defend YOUR right to vote.

I hope to God that Americans everywhere are waking up to what’s happening to our country.
A ruling party is attempting to amass total control over America by rigging the election against its leading opponent who happens to be a political outsider committed to defending the needs and interests of hardworking Americans.
This is how dictatorships are born.
I ran for President to be a voice, a defender, and a champion for the American people.
And that includes protecting YOUR right to vote.
I will not let left-wing judges STEAL the votes of a MAJORITYof Americans.
We will win this battle, we will win the 2024 election, and we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
If you’re doing poorly due to the very corrupt Democrats who would rather try and eliminate my name from the ballot than actually lift a finger to help our country, then please do not donate at this time. I mean it!
Please make a contribution to help us FIGHT BACK against the Soros-funded attempts to remove my name from the ballot and rob you of your vote.

It's just so weird that Soros keeps coming up. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Oh well, back to some light reading, really into the vintage stuff right now.

AFTER THE GOLD RUSH

Unfortunately for Donald and Ivana Trump, all that glittered wasn't gold. But the reign of New York's self-created imperial couple isn't over yet. Donald's Midas touch may be tarnished, but the banks are still throwing money at him, while Ivana is busy brokering a future of her own. MARIE BRENNER reports on how the Trumps are still going for it all

September 1990

https://archive.vanityfair.com/article/ ... bb9a104e0a

Donald Trump appears to take aspects of his German background seriously. John Walter works for the Trump Organization, and when he visits Donald in his office, Ivana told a friend, he clicks his heels and says, "Heil Hitler," possibly as a family joke.

Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

"Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?" I asked Trump.

Trump hesitated. "Who told you that?"

"I don't remember," I said.

"Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he's a Jew." ("I did give him a book about Hitler," Marty Davis said. "But it was My New Order, Hitler's speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish.")

Later, Trump returned to this subject. "If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."

Is Ivana trying to convince her friends and lawyer that Trump is a crypto-Nazi? Trump is no reader or history buff. Perhaps his possession of Hitler's speeches merely indicates an interest in Hitler's genius at propaganda. The Führer often described his defeats at Stalingrad and in North Africa as great victories. Trump continues to endow his diminishing world with significance as well.

"If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."

i’m always amazed at how easily lying is for some…it’s like second nature

He has something like 5-10 template lies. This is one of them. He's said substantially the same thing about classified documents, whatever.

And what happens is it's a walkback.

I don't have the speeches.

I don't have the speeches anymore.

The speeches were a gift from a friend.

The speeches were a gift from a person I don't know.

I didn't read the speeches.

I stopped reading the speeches once I got to the offensive parts.

I don't believe in the offensive parts.

Well the offensive parts are offensive but maybe the underlying reasons are valid.

Well maybe the underlying reasons are not valid, but you can at least understand where he was coming from.

And on and on and on.

If Trump is really as rich as he claims to be why does he need the rubes’ money?
