Trump Removed from Maine Primary Ballot

[Rawley]

No, it won't be 9-0. The evidence shows that it should be 9-0 to keep Trump off the ballot IF thhe justices are going by the constitution.

It's about the rule of law. Biden has already beat trump once.

Let me guess, if its anything less than 9-0 against Trump they are white extremists.

and then you triple down.

it is good that you are so very proud of your willful ignorance

Actually YOU are the stupid one.

"Occupy Democrats"?

These states doing this know what they are doing is not legal and Trump will be on the ballot. This is really making the Dems look bad. So glad they are doing this. The Democrats really can't stand democracy .

Can't stand democracy

Can't stand safe and secure borders

Can't stand peace

Can't stand immigrants in their own back yards

Can't stand the truth

Can't stand much of anything

They are simply looking for attention. They know that the SCOTUS will stop this idiocy.

If J6, incited by trump, was not an insurrection attempt...WHAT WOULD BE?

A mostly peaceful protest. It's a goose, gander thing.

It was a protest which agitators turned into a riot

Appeal means there was a lower court decision. There wasn't. She simply ruled "He's gone" LOL

Yeah, she acted completely unilaterally here. lol.

Really is reminiscent of how the Secretaries of State unconstitutionally byassed the Legislatures back in 2020 to change the election rules.


As an aside, I see that she was also a proud Biden Elector...

 

[Natural Citizen]

And a hypocrite, apparently...

It's snowballing. There will be more states disqualifying him. It's also a kick in the butt at SCOTUS, telling them they can't slow-walk this.

Maine barred Donald Trump from the primary ballot Thursday, making it the second state in the country to block the former president from running again under a part of the Constitution that prevents insurrectionists from holding office.

The decision by Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) is sure to be appealed. The Colorado Supreme Court last week found Trump could not appear on the ballot in that state, and the Colorado Republican Party has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case. The nation’s high court could resolve for all states whether Trump can run again.

While I fully agree with the sentiment, I think it's a bad idea in practice. This is the kind of one-sided, punitive measure that has gotten us to this point in the first place.

I assume the Supes will toss this out for everyone, "states rights" or not. Regardless, we have to somehow cool things down, not make them worse.

 

[Arlette]

No, but you will be when SCOTUS slaps this down too. You idiots are so stupid you don’t even realize that you’re HANDING Trump the election next year.

As long as the Maine sec.of state followed the law in Maine on how to conduct elections, her decision will stand.

Yeah, that bitches edict will have a shorter self life than the CO ruling.

Another attempt by Democrats to desinfranchise Trump voters.

Maine secretary of state disqualifies Trump from 2024 ballot

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung blasted the decision, calling Bellows a “virulent leftist” and “hyper-partisan Biden-supporting Democrat,” in a statement to The Post.

Huh? How are they disenfranchised? They can still vote for him if they want.

What nobody is talking about and something that people should be acknowledging is that these people are running a stalking horse type of endeavor to try to set a precendent whereby they can just arbitrarily broaden the definition of whatever term they want in order to project an illusion of justification for their intended action(s).

Typical manufactured problem, reaction, solution shenanigans.

And we're seeing this practice of arbitrarily broadening the definitions of things quite a bit as of late, including in Congress itself to the extent that they strategically become far removed from their actual definitions in order to achieve the desired result or desired narrative or response required to put their intended agenda into play. As well, it's routinely happening out in the wild of the www where most propaganda that is fully dependent upon the success and normalization/acceptance of the unscrupulous practice is seeded and spread in synergy with the arbitrary actions of the government gun.

We've also witnessed members of Congress lobby to expel other members of Congress for merely objecting from the House floor. They've arbitrarily called them seditionists for merely objecting to them on the floor. These are the kind of intellectually dishonest, unscrupulous scoundrels we're dealing with here.

You see? That's what's going on. These are the kind of shady authoritarians that we're dealing with here. They're relying on the normalization and acceptance of the practice of invoking very broad, very arbitrary terms of controversy and definitions in order to project the illusion of justification of their actions as they pertain to their agendas in the longer term.

Once that practice is normalized and accepted, they're gonna keep doing this kind of thing. And for the purpose of far more insidious acts of usurp.

And they're playing that card across the board, too. Wherever they see an opportunity to manipulate language and definitions to project that specific image that Americans who disagree with them are some sort of terrorists.

Problem is that many will object to that practice in this situation, but they'll fully and eagerly participate in the very same coercion when it is put into play in other instances. So that's a problem. Because every instance of the shenanigan ends in the same way. Less freedom for you and more power for them. Americans themselves need to be more consistent. Inconsistency is, I think, the electorate's greatest weakness/fault, collectively speaking. And, of course, the authoritarians who play this game with them and who are guiding this stalking horse endeavor love them for it.


I've never cared for Trump, personally. But, Trump, if he wins, will be gone in four years.

The precedent that these unscrupulous scounderels are trying to set will remain. Know that. They're bringing their next forever war here to America now. And it's war on you! Make no mistake about that. Even if they have to import the image of it onto our streets and into our institutions from abroad through whatever policy friendly NGO they can fund to do so. And with taxpayer money, no less. Which they're doing, if anyone is paying attention. They're covering all of the bases.

Before you know it, we'll have people who are so confident in their authoritarianism and the apathy of the people that they'll have positioned themselves to mediate and manipulate the stage they've set, or helped to set, and perhaps even demonstrate the audacity to run for the presidency itself on the idea of things like demanding paperz please at the barrel of a government gun in return for permission for simple acts of exercising your 1st Amendment right.

 

[SweetSue92]

yes, his worshipers will worship him even more.

Aw, Mac just focusing on the cult again? Not on the actual fascist nature of the Dems

I'm shocked. Shocked, I say

 

[SweetSue92]

Would you call her a foreign troll or a Democrat supporter?

You should be celebrating. After the split you fascists have your own nation to destroy. Yay you!

 

[SweetSue92]

It is absolutely appalling that the democrats would argue whether or not Trump should be on a ballot. Screw the rules.

Can't share a nation with this.

Don't care anymore.
