    @@danielmankinde1706 "so anyone can be accused without being charged and boom, not allowed to run." Trump was convicted of insurrection over a month ago. It was a trial in Federal court. Please try to keep up. Case number 2023CV32577 Colorado Federal Districe Court. Judge Sarah B. Wallace, final order Nov 17, 2023. "The Court concludes, based on its findings of fact and the applicable law detailed above, that Trump incited an insurrection on January 6, 2021 and therefore “engaged” in insurrection. Trump acted with the specific intent to disrupt the Electoral College certification of President Biden’s electoral victory through unlawful means; specifically, by using unlawful force and violence."

    It’s late 2024, and democrats/socialists/communists are getting desperate. Maybe it’s clear Trump is going to win beyond any imaginable margin of election fraud. Maybe they realize when 140% of registered voters cast ballots nationwide, Americans are going to make the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror look like a Girl Scout picnic. Maybe all those dead voters are ready to turn state’s evidence. Either way, they’re certain they’re going to jail-or worse--and not on trumped-up political charges. It’s time for martial law! The question is, will our military fight for Joe Biden, who wants them to imprison, torture and kill Normal Americans? Higher Ranking Officers: Since the Age of Obama, have been doing their best to replace warfighters with social justice warriors. Few get that first star without enthusiastically toeing the DEI line. Many, but not all, of these beribboned REMFs will gladly go full totalitarian. Mid-Ranking Officers : Many of these are also DEI adherents, but probably fewer than those above them. Many joined thinking they’d be warriors and haven’t had time to be completely converted, or to decide to bail out with their sanity. Lower Ranking Officers : They’re even less likely to go over to the dark side, except those that joined as true believers. Here’s where things get interesting: Senior NCOs: These are the people who really run the military. They often bark “don’t call me ‘sir!” I work for a living!” And they do. Nothing happens without them. Those in longest, nearing retirement, have either been converted, or are sticking out their 20, silently resisting the lunacy. The proportions will vary from base to base. Lower-Ranking NCOs: They too make the military work. Shorter on time than their higher-ranking fellows, a lesser portion of these will be willing to oppress fellow Americans. They’re far more likely to gum up the works. “Gosh Captain, those tanks just won’t run, and the helos are shot. Somehow a lot of parts got misplaced, and we’re missing essential tools. We might be able to get a couple Hummers running by, say, Tuesday. What is running? The General’s staff car is pretty good, and so are the carts at the golf course. Sorry about that, Sir!” Enlisted: This is going to be a big problem for Biden. Who voluntarily enlists in the military? Largely people from the South and Midwest, particularly sons and daughters of families with military traditions. Even with recruiting crashing, most of those enlisting are patriots, willing to brave the DEI lunacy to serve. How many purple-haired, nose and nipple-pierced vegans are enlisting, and how many of those are going to be combat effective? Sure, some of the queer are enlisting for free trans surgery, but they’re all going to be non-deployable, and little more than stationary targets on the battlefield if they’re somehow forced into the field. The National Guard: Forget it. They’re going to kill their families, neighbors, pastors and friends? The people they’ve grown up with and live with? What they are going to do is walk away with as many weapons, as much ammo and other gear as they can carry and haul in the trucks they’re going to take with them. A few higher-ranking, idiot true-believers might try to stop them, might even try to use deadly force. Heh. To be sure, there will be some social justice warriors that will turn traitor out of a misplaced sense of duty, or just because they want to be on what they think will be the winning side. But even now, most people in our military love America and Americans. They’re the people buying the guns, living the American military ethic of duty, honor and country. They like Red Dawn and The Patriot. They’re not going to kill fellow Americans. They know who America’s enemies are. Who are the few that will? They’re the people who shrink from killing our actual enemies, people who haven’t won a war in decades, people who can’t bring themselves to kill the demons that would gladly murder every American. They surely get excited, however, about strafing Des Moines, or nuking South Dakota. Suzie Soccer Mom and traditional Catholics are so much easier to beat than actual armies. Most of our military-probably enough-will either just walk away, or will fight for liberty, taking as much materiel with them, and sabotaging the rest, as they can. Many will try to go neutral, but won’t be able to maintain that for long !W!W!

    Note: Project 2025 is a plan to reshape the executive branch of the U.S. federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 United States presidential election. It was established in 2022 by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, and other right-leaning groups. It consists of four pillars: a policy agenda, a personnel database, a training program, and a 180-day playbook. The project aims to recruit tens of thousands of conservatives to replace existing federal civil service workers, implement a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory, and pursue the objectives of the next Republican president. The project has been criticized by some as a blueprint for overthrowing the federal government and erasing the democratic safeguards.

    @@josephrice29 subverting democratic elections is another principle of authoritarian regimes. Which is exactly what Trump attempted to do in 2020 and will obviously do again if not properly censured here and given a second opportunity. This is an unprecedented legal dilemma. I agree with that. It does have an air of a story being written as it happens. But the only reason it feels that way is because it is novel and completely unprecedented. No one has ever attempted the crimes that were committed. You just have to ask yourself what’s going to happen the next time someone tries. You and I both know if this isn’t dealt with harshly there will absolutely be more attempts at autocratic installations around the corner. You can already see it in the words of other GOP members like Mike Johnson. The possibility for conflict exists, yes, but that theoretical outcome is less harrowing than letting an actual fascist regime take root. I think we’re in for a hard time either way but must do what’s necessary big picture and long term. Just my opinions.

    If we understand the Constitution then it basically states If anyone engages in an insurrection then they are disqualified. Explaining that if they aid, Influence or comfort those who practice that insurrection then they are disqualified regardless of conviction. Can we not clearly see that this was made so that no one can use the time that it takes for the Justice system to process that this person can become a dictator. He said in a speech telling them to March to the capital to stop the peaceful transfer of power, To stop a lawful proceeding. He told them that he would be with them so they felt they had a leader. He lied to them and told them that the election was stolen knowing that it was not. So no one can deny that he incited the initial riot. And the purpose of it was to stop an official proceeding. He even called out them by name saying "proud boys" stand by. And afterward he made a speech saying telling them that they are patriots therefore he gave them comfort. He also vowed that he would pardon them if becoming president again. So if any of us has ears to hear and wisdom to go with it then you cannot deny that he started it, supported it and told them that what they did was okay when it was not. As far as that 14th amendment goes he violated the constitutional oath. In that the government is not telling us who we can't Or can vote for. It is clear that we were never meant to vote for someone who was seeking to overthrow the United States or gain power by deception. That constitution was created to protect the people from a dictator or king like regime. Your aware it was created so that no one could take away the rights of the people. Now this man did that exactly therefore having him on the ballot is like putting Vladimir Putin's name on the ballot or any other dictator around the world. Be wise my fellow Americans!!!

Fifth Amendment No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
