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.”

The suggestion of it should be a capital offense.
They’re trying to start a war.

Hi.
I’m getting old, let’s get this thing started before I die.

Totalitarians.
These democrat tactics are used in every hellhole culture on the planet... Put stupid people in positions of power based on Kolor, Kink, or Kin rather than merit and this is what you get: North Korea
And this is how a communist nation works. Only those loyal to the party are allowed to compete for administrative or representative positions.
Democrats are only trying to bar MAGA candidates, and RINO traitors are happy to sit back and let them.
They should be careful what they wish for.
Old men like me who have nothing to lose would rather die on our feet fighting against this tyranny that is Democrat Fascism, than live on our knees.
Me and Jesus are good. Looking forward to meeting Him and praising His name for eternity.
Me and you both. We need to clean up this mess for our families. Let’s get it on. Praise the Lord and pass the ammo. Hell awaits the tyrants.
I’m all for it. Just one thing before this happens. Voter roll cleansing has to happen first. If the voter rolls were purged of bad data, Democrats will never win another election.
Don’t skip over the secession part.
And as usual we sit back and do nothing. We should be doing the same thing to them 10X.
Democrats are Democrats first.
The Democrat party comes before The United States for them.
“I pledge allegiance to the Democrat party and the money I hope it steals for me”
TOTALITARIANS at work. EVIL collective.
Because Republicans are dangerous to ‘our democracy’..............
“We should be doing the same thing to them 10X.”
Agreed. We should be playing this lawfare game right back at them. Republican DAs should be poring over law books looking for statutes to charge Biden Inc with.
Tie them up in knots. Go after his family.

Don’t the rats 🐀 usually accuse republicans of having sexual peccadilloes in their past?
