Damon Linker argues that the Colorado ruling is a big mistake; it will only add fuel to the fire of populist Trump voters who feel that their candidate’s 2024 campaign is being thwarted by the establishment.
And yet the author of this article thinks Trump is an “authoritarian threat to democracy” while we have an active threat to “democracy” (more accurately, rule of law, personal liberty, privacy, etc, as demonstrated during the “pandemic”) in the white house.
Colorado politicians (including the judges) just exposed how corrupt they are by taking this approach, knowing full well Trump is not guilty of anything close to insurrection. The mental hoops these people jump through is staggering.
Talk about wepinizing the judicial system - exactly what the leftists have been accusing Republicans of for years. The hypocrisy is staggering.
THIS is what “makes Trump stronger” (or more accurately, continues to weaken those making these claims). So let them keep on playing these games, like their national popular vote agreement nonsense, continuing to remove power from the people. It just exposes them for what they are. And it’s not like CO would ever vote for a non-leftist at this point anyway, so it’s a pointless effort intended to appease the far left in CO, but has the obvious effect of informing the world of their corruption.
But for a politician like Trump, an indictment can be an opportunity because it confirms the populist narrative: See, they view me as such a potent threat that they’re threatening to throw me in jail just to get me to stop fighting for you. But they can’t scare me. Together, we will achieve vengeance!
Ostensibly for BoaT, enforcing the Constitution is corruption because Trump did all of those things. No one ever says he didn’t do those things; they just say those things don’t constitute insurrection, and thus Trump is “innocent”. Talk about staggering mental hoops…
Colorado excluded Trump based on the notion that he participated in an insurrection, if there was no insurrection he can’t be bared for participating in something that didn’t happen.

Yeah. all he did was plan with the Proud Boys to help rile people up and direct them towards the capital; privately reach out and pressure state election administrators to lie and overturn election results; had fake electors ready to fake the election results for the electoral college; claim that he was cheated and lied to everyone for weeks prior to Jan 6th, effectively building a political bonfire that he planned to light on Jan. 6th; give a speech where he helped to incite a mob and direct them towards the capital steps, with the Proud Boys helping to lead the charges and effectively direct the crowds anger; and even actually tried to march to the Capital himself to lead the charge. But other than that, he did absolutely nothing.
Party of law and order my ass. Enforcing the constitution (14th amendment) isn’t corruption.

I wouldn’t go that far. There is plenty of people (potentially a few around here) that are willing to say that it’s all made up despite the evidence.
Agreed
Enforcing the law against imaginary crimes that never happened isn’t corruption?
@Lookin4GoodArgs Just like I said lol
No federal agency declared Jan 6th an insurrection. You can’t disqualify Trump for something that didn’t happen.
The 14th amendment does not require that.
Colorado excluded Trump based on the notion that he participated in an insurrection, if there was no insurrection he can’t be bared for participating in something that didn’t happen.
Yup. But it did happen. And he did participate.
Quit living under a rock.
It’s hard to figure out what your original point is if you agree with that statement. I assume you are just trolling.
Edit: I see you are editing posts now.
Who declared an insurrection had occurred?
Where is the source that Trump planned with the proud boys?
You don’t need to make stuff up to make Trump look bad.
