The courts have at least 1,889 pages of evidence of election interference, and yet they will still leave him on the ballots for the highest office in the country.
This right here is the very definition of lip service when it comes to justice. It’s time for America to nut up or shut up. Either way, I’m damned tired of this bullshit.
As much as I hate it, it would be much worse if you could just accuse someone of a crime to keep them off the ballot. Someone like Trump would abuse it to accuse his opponents of crimes to have them removed. It needs to go through the court first. The issue is that's taken far too long, and the time it takes has been increased by certain people with a bias.
I agree that the problem is not with him being on the ballot, the problem is that it seems an enormous portion of the population of the USA are willing to vote for him.
Yup, can't get rid of someone like Trump if enough of the population is either willing or eager to go along with him.
That was the basis of my second paragraph. This should’ve been priority #1 from the get go. And the fact that people with obvious bias has been able to derail the process is another problem that needs to be dealt with as well.
Heads need to roll for any real change ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t disagree.
We need to criminalize government employees intentionally delaying or entirely ignoring doing their jobs
Start with SCOTUS
Due process exists for both the innocent and the worst out there. You want that to be there to protect you and everyone else.
The Toupee is already a convicted felon. Due process would not permit him to leave the state where he was convicted, let alone run for office.
I don’t deny that there is preferential behavior going on but people are also commonly out while awaiting sentencing with or without travel restrictions. Due process means he gets a fair trial and a fair sentence. So far that is happening.
Except that the sentencing keeps getting postponed.
He went through due process and was adjudicated unfit by the Supreme Court of Colorado to be on the ballot in Colorado because insurrectionists are bannned. The Supreme Court of the Republican Party Bigfooted it and said he had to be on the ballot anyway
These are different situations. And even though the SCOTUS is filled with idiots, due process did occur there.
Calling them idiots is giving them a pass. They know exactly what they're doing, they're just evil.
So we agree
