Secretary Bellows has suspended the effect of her decision until the Superior Court rules on any appeal, or the time to appeal has expired.

So courageous. Just like Colorado Supremes, they delegated upwards to SCOTUS.

Delegating to management is a millennial thing. I saw it in IT management with the millennial snowflakes. Not all, but many. I had to fire a few. The only life skills they had was follow/unfollow, like/dislike on social media.

YouTube is actively protecting the American people from misinformation and disinformation. Therefore, anything that’s on that platform for more than a few days is guaranteed to be genuine and accurate. So, when Bellows bellows, you know she is right. /s

Maine, Colorado and any other state that removes President Trump should be excluded in the next Presidential election, period. This is equivalent of a declaration of war against our country. The people of those states should remove those criminals forcefully if necessary.

You are spot on with that. I’m not a lawyer but have been involved in a few legal situations at work. Sitting in meetings the discussion has often been about the process....and the legality of various approaches and what angles would get us into trouble if they were pursued and which would not.

These people are operating as if none of that exists....as if the legal process allows them complete protection and immunity to make any accusation they want with zero consequences.

I’m oft reminded of the first codified legal system.....the 10 Commandments. While half of these provided a cursory code of how people relate to each other there is no further differentiation of one ‘part of the code’ having more weight than another.....thus while there are commandments addressing stealing and murder there is also an equal one dealing with the ‘bearing of false witness’. People ignore this at their peril....

YouTube videos appeal to those with limited reading comprehension abilities.

There are many Freepers who are only impressed by YouTube videos.

The secretary of state, a Democrat whose social media is littered with photos of President Joe Biden...

She made this ruling after the poser in chief sniffed her hair.

Yep, the mental state of never trumpers must never be underestimated. Only a never trumper would say “ in all fairness You cant be on the ballot because I just dont think you are a good person and the 14th amendment thing about insurecction. You know the guy was in D.C. january 6th and told every one to go home peacefully but they didnt. HE’S GUILTY! “

Years ago - much more than a decade now - Soros launched his assault on America’s election process with an all-out effort to get corrupt state Secretaries of State elected into office. He realized that in these offices all the major decisions affecting elections are made. What we saw in Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, and elsewhere in 2020 is the handiwork of George Soros. Why the man is not taken to task for his interference tells us that our entire political system is rotten to the core.

These people are going to push someone to decide the Tree of Liberty needs to be watered. I am not suggesting that we are to that point and this is not a threat but there is likely someone out there that believes we have reached that point.

There is no way to remove Trump from any state ballot without it being an act of interference in an election. That is what they tried to pin on Trump. The SC had better see this thru and stop the manipulation of anti Trumpers.

The self-serving Bellows certainly has an elevated view of herself.

Not many public officials would take on the job of
being judge, jury and executioner all at the same time.

Someone needs to remind her......
the SoS job does not come with a sword and scepter.

These little self appointed dictators, the judges in Colorado & this Main loon, show us how far America has devolved. They need to all lose their jobs and face jail time to fix this. The left and their gaming the system needs to face justice.

She’s incorrigible......completely beyond hope.

DAC21 ~ This lady is nearly 50, and has braces on her teeth per the photo with Dementia Joe.

kiryandil ~ Are you sure they are braces - or did she have a "shower interview" with Ol' Rumpleforeskin?

That's where she got the pearl necklace...
