I can see keeping your pie-hole shut if you’re in a Leftist
hell hole back home.

What I can’t see is these people outdoing the Democrats to curry
favor.

This is despicable of Susan Collins.

If Trump had committed a crime, even though I support him, I would accept the penalty for that crime.

He hasn’t, and I will not!

There is no such ability in the legislative branch. The people and states pick the head of the executive branch.

If these assholes do anything of the sort they need to be afraid to walk down the street. This is evil and unconstitutional.

Senators: do not think for one second that this sham will make up for your epic crime of approving a fraudulent election and installing a corrupt junta to ruin this country. You are the ones who need to be thrown out and banned from public service.

Unconstitutional. Sorry but no. YOU do not get to dictate who WE, the American people, may elect.

Either Susan Collins is tapped on the shoulder and told to resign by her Republicrat handlers or the whole Republican half of the Uniparty can go pound sand. They're way beyond the "I swear Charlie Brown, I won't pull the football away" stage.

What fool would vote in a rigged election involving actors and actresses clearly not part of individual parties?

This is one of the most bogus, anti-democratic things I’ve ever heard of. It’s amazing what these little dictator wannabes in Congress think they can get away with to stop people from having a real choice in their elections. They either believe they should be all-powerful or that everyone listening to them is a complete imbecile who will buy any laughable nonsense they throw out there as an excuse to persecute their political opponents.

Where do they get the idea that Congress can just declare someone an insurrectionist and disqualify him from office? Isn’t that the very definition of a bill of attainder? Outside the specific process of impeachment, we use courts and juries to convict people of crimes in this country.

The proposal from Collins and Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, was criticized by some as toothless after it was first reported by Axios on Tuesday. But it was fleshed out in interviews over the course of Wednesday in which Democrats pitched the effort as a bid to disqualify the president from running again — perhaps without a trial.

He must be convicted at trial to be disqualified. The Constitution, you know.

Well, first they would have to prove insurrection and they can't and won't. Trump wasn't engaged in any insurrection, even if his critics and enemies wish to make it so.

And two, as long as he meets the requirements, Trump can run again for president if he wants to. It isn't up to the backstabber Collins or that loser Kaine. It's up to the Constitution, which they all so conveniently want to overlook.

Their wording:

“Trump is a big meanie who beat Hillary when it was her turn. Trump is therefore banned from running for office ever again so he can’t be the big meanie who stops Kamala.”

Sounds constitutional to me.
