Call it preemptive Election Denial.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi picked Rep. Jamie Raskin, a supposed “constitutional law” expert in the same way that an arsonist is an expert on house fires, as a ‘manager’ for impeaching President Trump over J6.
Since then, Rep. Raskin has been prepping a bill that would abuse the 14th Amendment to block Trump.
Raskin, a former member of the Jan. 6 select committee, said he is already crafting the bill, telling Axios, “I’m working on it — today.”
Raskin pointed to legislation he introduced with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) in 2022 creating a pathway for the Justice Department to sue to keep candidates off the ballot under the 14th Amendment.
“We are going to revise it in light of the Supreme Court’s decision,” Raskin said.
Raskin suggested the bill would be paired with a resolution declaring Jan. 6 an “insurrection” and that those involved “engaged in insurrection.”
Congressional Dems did not initially seem enthusiastic about the idea of denying certification to Trump if he wins based on their abuse of the 14th Amendment.
Congressional Democrats are showing no signs of using the Electoral College certification process to enforce the 14th Amendment and deny Donald Trump a second presidential term if he wins in November.
The Supreme Court’s decision this month to keep Trump on the Colorado primary ballot left it to Congress to act before the Constitution’s so-called Insurrection Clause could be enforced to keep him from regaining the White House.
But some legal experts have pointed out that the decision never explicitly rules out a scenario where Congress uses its power under the 12th and 20th amendments to enforce presidential eligibility requirements during a joint session on Jan. 6, 2025.
Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, said the theory was just “dealing in a sequence of hypotheticals.”
But the hypothetical is becoming less hypothetical.
Based on this video, Rep. Raskin is quite serious about trying to abuse the 14th Amendment.
“They want to kick it to Congress,” Rep. Raskin complains. “So it will be up to us on Jan 6, 2025, to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified and then we need bodyguards for everyone, civil war conditions.”
Someone will have to tell the “rampaging mob” that the election results have been overturned to fortify democracy. Right after the Democrat nominee was ousted to fortify democracy.
And then there will have to be troops in the streets as Kamala takes her oath of office to stop the public from interfering while anyone who protests gets ‘gulaged’.
The media and Dems might defend this as a “novel legal theory” except that they’re busy prosecuting and disbarring people even tangentially involved in using novel legal theories to conduct election challenges.
Before Dems criminalized election denial, they specialized in it. And if Rep. Raskin is serious, then their endgame strategy is to hope to take Congress and then rejection the results of the 2024 election, while using any protests in response to declare martial law and impose Kamala at gunpoint.
This is of course everything that they falsely accused Trump of doing in 2020. And if you know leftists, then you know that it means they’re getting ready to do it themselves.
“A few will risk it. A handful could paralyze the nation.”
Maybe, but probably not. Somebody would turn them in. Then all their bank accounts would get frozen. The internet would have their faces and names everywhere.
Never happen. Jan 6 ended that as a possible scenario.
so WHO will be the election deniers when President Donald J Trump wins? Will they get the “J6 treatment” or will the rino’s in Congress sell out again? stay tuned friends.
They ate not winning the House. PArep now for the huge riots in November.
“He wants civil war. It is inevitable.”
Maybe just a few need to go.
No civil war. But tar and feathers, pitch forks and riots at Schumers, Haskins, Shiffs, Pelosi and that f head Merrick garlands houses.
Do they really want a full on SHOOTING civil war?

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Desparate elite Democrats just pulled off a major insurrection (imo) by unilaterally throwing out all the votes that OBiden won in the primaries, doing so a blatant violation of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment imo, that section a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred, because they panicked about his disastrous debate with Trump.
As if alleged violations of Section 2 by the Democratic elite are not enough insurrection against the constitutional republic, Democrats now have the audacity to hypocritically plan to blame their J6 2021 insurrection of scandalously ignoring (imo) allegations of Section 2 problems concerning OBiden's electoral votes on hopeful Trump 47 to try to try to keep him out of office on J6 2025.
More specifically concerning the major insurrection that elite Democrats just pulled off with their scandalous, goalposts-moving Harris switcharoo with OBiden is that the zero tolerance, "hair trigger" wording of Section 2 prohibits the states from abridging the votes of qualified citizen voters in any way, for any election.
"But when the right to vote at any election"
"is denied to any"
"or in any way abridged,"
"Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election [all emphases added] for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]
"Section 5 of 14A: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
Since worthless, career federal lawmakers and renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.
In other words, it's now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.
Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

Nope it will be prolonged. And we will be the first to go. I can accept that. For my kids and grandkids.
What I’m thinking.
He is really an annoying fellow isn’t he?
All of them are!..…...…....
Annoying?
Hell, just like Kamala and Tampon Tim, this guy is psychopath…he’d make Ted Bundy blush.
No civil war because it appears that guts and weapons are lacking on both sides.
