No judge is willing to be mocked mercilessly for ruling that J6 was a real “insurrection”.

Good catch.

It is a disgrace that each of the 50 states will have lawsuits , higher courts, still higher courts, technical appeals and costly and time consuming battles to allow the leading contender for one of the major parties nominations to have the privilege of being on the final ballot.

All the money and staff time is being taken away from the Trump campaign.

What a country.🍌🍌

Benjamin Franklin story from the Franklin Institute:
The story about Benjamin Franklin wanting the National Bird to be a turkey is just a myth.

This false story began due to a letter Franklin wrote to his daughter criticizing the original eagle design for the Great Seal, saying that it looked more like a turkey.

In the letter, Franklin wrote that the “Bald Eagle...is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly…[he] is too lazy to fish for himself.”
🦃

About the turkey, Franklin wrote that in comparison to the bald eagle, the turkey is “a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America...He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage.” So, although Benjamin Franklin defended the honor of the turkey against the bald eagle, he did not propose it become one of America’s most important symbols.

There are rules for getting on ballots.

Trump and his ppl know how to do it.

No one can stop him.

It’s a free country, in spite of what The Deep State wants to turn it into.

“ The commies don’t care if Trump stays on the Primary ballot. They want him removed from the GENERAL ELECTION ballot.”

Last time I checked, if you’re not on the primary ballot, there’s zero chance you’re on the general election ballot.

It’s a crappy figurine, but the only thing I could find that wouldn’t have been way too big for the screen. The banana-eagle is a young meme, still in its formative weeks.

WHitler has been real quiet for a few months now, you could almost put money on a bet that she’s gonna be Newsome’s running mate.

The lawyers should have been referred to the BAR for “Abuse of Process” and be disbarred. It was a silly argument worthy of abuse of process charges.

Instead of eating his boogers from the sideline.

From the linked article:

Further, Congress has never passed a federal statute providing any type of enforcement mechanism in the courts for Section 3. While some argue that this provision is self-executing and no legislation is required, legal scholars such as Josh Blackman and Sett Tillman point to an 1869 decision of a federal circuit court presided over by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, which held that “legislation by Congress is necessary to give effect to” Section 3.

It's too bad that "some" didn't continue reading the amendment through to section 5:

The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

What would they see in her? Is she their “too cute to fail” nominee or is she just a good communist, or is it both? She credits herself with “saving lives” during the worst of COVID. There are a lot of dirty little secrets in her cupboard. I want to hear Trump call her out...like never before.
