He was never actually charged for the insurrection though, was he?

That’s not a requirement according to the amendment. This is also why they’ve spent so much effort on downplaying it, trying to call it anything other than what it was. The Congressional inquiry determined that it was in fact an insurrection and it has been defined as such officially. As written, the inability to hold office should be self-enforcing, the Supreme Court went out of their way to interpret it in a way that it most definitely does not say.

Step 1. Replace the top Dem leadership that has shown time and time again now that they have no idea what they’re doing anymore.

Because they have no actual proof of it, and direct evidence against it. They talk about phones communicating with each other to restart… yet a phone inside a faraday box restarted.

It’s almost certainly just a software bug in iOS which is why it’s inconsistent.

It protects you from being compelled to provide biometrics to unlock the device. Since the courts have made a distinction between providing a password and biometrics to unlock devices for whatever asinine reason.

Oh 100%. But if there’s anything this election proved, it’s that the average American is fucking stupid, gullible as shit, and unable to determine propaganda from reality.

For many, actively supporting Israeli genocide is something they simply can’t support.

If there’s anything that this election has proven, it’s that there are A LOT of one issue voters in this country, across the board. They’ll ignore everything else for the one issue they care about above all else. And when you only have two viable parties, that forced a black and white decision.

The fundamental solution is eradicating First Past the Post and getting ranked choice voting so we have a multitude of parties that are all more nuanced instead.

But that won’t happen unless we abandon both of the major parties we have now, and they can’t let that happen because that means they lose power.

The DOJ will work for him starting January 20th. Even if they continued he would just have them drop it all that day.

Good. Now let us emulate and mod your damned games in peace.

They have. Because their sole purpose was to prevent anything the Dems wanted. It’s easy to do when your only goal is to obstruct.

He doesn’t need to pardon himself.

But he will. No reason to leave that to chance in the future. He already didn’t do that once, requiring him to get back into office. A pardon doesn’t need to be explicit about the crimes it’s pardoning. Just look at Nixon’s pardon as a template:

Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.

Just change it to Trump’s name and the period to “prior to January 20th, 2025”, and you’ve got a complete federal pardon for anything Trump has *ever *done in his life.

I’m stating to see the perspective of Ye Wenjie in 3 Body Problem when she effectively tells the aliens to come destroy humanity, because we’ve fucked it up.

I have no idea how the Democrats do this shit every fucking time.

Oh it’s simple. They’re paid by billionaires not to.

The Democratic party hasn’t been like that for 30+ years, at least the 90s. They’re a fiscally conservative party, and socially liberal. The only “liberal” part of the party is on issues that affect people like LGBTQ support or abortion, not anything dealing with the country or economy. The US hasn’t had an actual liberal party for decades, as soon as they started accepting billions in donor funds.

Not only that, it was clear Trump was gaining voters because he said, “yeah, shit’s fucked, I’ll change it” and the Dems kept insisting “it’s really not that bad”. To people who have it hard, one party telling you that you’re just wrong and nothing will change, and the other saying they’ll change things for the better is a pretty obvious choice. Even if they’re lying about making it better, it’s already bad, and your other option is the same bad, why not give it a try?

From what I’ve seen it’s people angry at the status quo and looking for a change in a desperate effort.

This. Both the Biden and Harris campaign were focused on “it’s not actually that bad, but it’ll be worse under Trump”. And for a lot of people, it IS that bad. All they heard from Harris was that it will be more of the same, and the same isn’t working for a lot of Americans.

Wait, why would the response to the “woke left” cancelling Dr Seuss be to… Cancel his book?

Help me try to understand.

THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SENATE. It is the reason Congress is separated in two the way it is.

In the Senate, every State is equal, regardless of physical size or population. A foundational pillar of our Union has always been State equality. The Senate is working EXACTLY as designed, it is there specifically to prevent large States from dictating what smaller States have to do. Larger States have their bigger voice heard in the House. The two serve very different purposes.

The real issue is the House needs to actually be proportional again. The cap at 435 means it cannot be properly representative with States like Delaware and California both existing. A representative in Delaware represents a fraction of the number of people as a Rep in California because the cap limits how that apportionment works. Without the artificial cap from the 1920s, and proper apportionment by population again, our House of Representatives would be more like 1,600 members and actually representative of this country instead of being a glorified pseudo Senate.

That’s how the Senate is designed and intended. That’s not the issue. The capped House functions as a second Senate because it no longer represents population correctly, because of that cap imposed in the 1920s.

Oh it’s simpler than that. They just go around the requirement via loopholes in the agreements. They know they’re required to give priority, so they just make the freight trains too long to fit on the side track on those routes. So if there’s a conflict, the freight train physically cannot get out of the way and the passenger one has to.

$25/hr in CA? That was a rip off from the beginning. One Fair Wage was paying $25/hr in AZ to canvas for them.

Meanwhile they spend millions of dollars lobbying without needing a label. Let’s get those on our politicians like at NASCAR.
