As the decisions disqualifying former President Donald Trump from the 2024 election work their way through the courts, a new filing in Pennsylvania seeks the same “ballot cleansing” by barring Rep. Scott Perry.

But what’s chilling is how many support such efforts, including Democratic officeholders from Maine’s secretary of state to dozens of members of Congress.
New Jersey Rep. Bill Pascrell sought to bar 126 members of Congress under the same theory for challenging the election before Jan. 6, 2021.
Rep. Cori Bush’s similar legislation to disqualify members got 63 cosponsors, all Democrats, including New York Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jamaal Bowman and Ritchie Torres and Squad members Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
When Maine’s secretary of state disqualified Trump, three in the state’s congressional delegation — Sens. Angus King (I) and Susan Collins (R) and Rep. Jared Golden (D) — condemned the decision. But others supported the antidemocratic action.
The grounds were virtually identical to those of Stilp. He accuses Perry of supporting challenges to Biden’s election and opposing its certification.
Of course, he ignores Democratic members who sought to block certification of Republican presidents under the very same law with no factual or legal basis.

Rep. Jamie Raskin sought to block certification of the 2016 election result — particularly ironic since he’s a leading voice calling for Trump to be disqualified.
He insisted last week on CNN that the effort to prevent citizens from voting for Trump is the very embodiment of democracy: “If you think about it, of all of the forms of disqualification that we have, the one that disqualifies people for engaging in insurrection is the most democratic because it’s the one where people choose themselves to be disqualified.”

Of course. It is what they do. It is instructive to see them tie themselves in knots to portray the Nazis as Right-wing, when they were right next to the Communists (Leftists) on the scale of tyranny with nearly exactly the same characteristics.
Chilling?? Heck, this is what donks do, vote in lock-step like the good little communists they are to try to demolish the Republic and turn us into a Soviet-like state. Totally predictable out of donk congresscritters.
ONE VOICE! ONE WORLD! ONE F@#$ED UP LAND!
SIEG! HEIL!
It will totally succeed as long as the serfs keep referring, ignorantly, to these tyrants as "Democrats"...
Communists are moving to bar Republicans from ballots nationwide...
Compare the Democrats and Biden to Putin and the “our Russia” party. They are copying the Russian playbook.
Jamie Ratskin is all for it.
“We don’t do the same, because we “follow the rules”. We still think we live in a Constitutional Republic.”
I agree. But there IS a way out but we are too lazy to do it. All we have to do is stop financially feeding the beast of leftist corporations who fund these criminals. Cut their gravy train.
“But they have the best prices, it is so convenient, I don’t want to make that much effort, and I absolutely can’t live without my Charmin”.
Those ideals are our own worst enemy or we could absolutely fix this thing by hitting them in the pocket book, just like Bud Light.
We make a mistake when we talk about a candidate being banned when the actual framing of the issue is disenfranchised voters.
Those candidates usually had to go through a process to get on the ballot in the first place which usually involves people signing a petition.Thousands of people denied their rights by government.
Any other issue this would be called “Deprivation of rights under color of law”
Taking a candidate off the ballot violates citizens right to vote. Government cannot claim voters can vote for another candidate when the purpose of voting is to control government.. not to choose from an acceptable list crafted by government
Hell is too good for them.
Congressional fake Republicans won’t reel in the courts although they have the Constitutional power.
All federal courts other than the Supreme Court are created by Congress.
Today’s redundant and soon to be much repeated post...
“Not very democratic of them.”

I’m not doing anything else next week... Shouldn’t take more than a month or so if we get enough folks on board.
Start putting some holes in a few of them.
it’s what they’re going to do next to us.
BTTT!!!
