    So yeah, um, the recession the idiot refers to didn’t last 7 years, it was over in 18 months. Oh and I wonder if he knows why. Hint: the left. Oh and I wonder if he knows why that recession happened in the first place. Hint: the right and their fetish for deregulation.






  • First, I’m not dying on any hill. Second, I’m less liberal than you might imagine. Third, I’m pointing out exactly what literal Constitutional scholars have pointed out. So, instead of personal attacks, perhaps you should sit down, because yes, the 14th Amendment does apply and has been shown that numerous times across numerous jurisdictions, and by much more educated minds than us idiots on Lemmy.

    The Supreme Court doesn’t always get it right. And they didn’t, yet again. And, yet again, we the people will have to clean up the mess which could, and likely will, take decades.

    And lastly, BLM protestors did not try to subvert an election and incite a literal insurrection on the Capitol, so enough with the logical fallacies, please. If you want to spout off that nonsense, take it to Reddit where it belongs.


  • The Constitution lays out 3 main disqualifying provisions from holding the office of the Presidency: Must be 35 years old, Must be a natural-born citizen, and as the 14th amendment section 3 states, “No person shall…hold any office…under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath…as an officer of the United States…to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” (Removal of the bits that don’t pertain specific to what is clearly the OFFICE of the Presidency)

    Multiple Constitutional scholars have said it is self-executing. Therefore, the States should not have been allowed to even put Trump on any ballots based on the above.

    I guess the country is still in danger. We’ll have to see if half of the voting populace would rather have a 91-count-indicted probable-convicted felon as President who has literally called for authoritarianism, instead of the old and senile one. I fully expect Trump to win again because nearly half of the voters are fucking stupid, and the archaic electoral college will give it to him again.
