Ya but if we used that on trump then what if in the future a different president encourages, doesn't try to stop, champions, incites, masterminds, and participates in an insurrection? Then we would have to use it on them too. Slippery slope man.

No anyone other than Trump is just automatically guilty. Trump = not guilty; not Trump = guilty. Simple!

He was a criminal before he was president, and not surprisingly continued being so. I would never have guessed so many people would fall for it.

I think one lesson that I wish Americans would learn from the trump debacle is to not worship politicians. Once the worship begins then it's to hard for them to ever be critical of their leader. Like if you are buying a politicians shirts, hats, stickers, flags, and going to rallies and donating money and joining his social media website etc then there is probably something going wrong there and you will never be able to be objective in regards to that person.

"Could be devastating": Indicted ex-GOP chair "explicitly" throws Trump under the bus in new filing

David Shafer, who added his mugshot to his Twitter bio, says Trump directed fake elector scheme
www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com

David Shafer, a former chairman of Georgia's Republican Party and one of the 19 people charged in the Georgia 2020 election interference case, claimed in a Monday court filing that he and the other Republican electors who attempted to falsely certify a victory for Donald Trump were acting at the direction of the former president.

Shafer and 15 other Republican electors met at Georgia's capitol on Dec. 14, 2020, and signed a document falsely declaring that Trump had won the state. Shafer had portrayed himself as the "chairperson" of Georgia's Electoral College and filed a fake slate of 16 pro-Trump electors in December 2020.

"Shafer explicitly places the entire responsibility for the fake electoral scheme squarely on Donald Trump," Cunningham explained. "He says, 'I was acting at his personal direction.''

MAGA recruits "army" to replace federal workers Trump plans to purge

"Project 2025 is extremists' newest plan to set fire to our democracy," watchdog group warns.

Organized by the Heritage Foundation, the sweeping new initiative called Project 2025, offers a policy agenda, transition plan, a playbook for the first 180 days and a personnel database for the next GOP president to access from the very beginning to take control, reform, and eliminate what Republicans criticize as the "deep state" bureaucracy. Their plan includes the possibility of firing as many as 50,000 federal employees.

I spent way too much time reading various parts of that plan.

Most of it seems impossible to implement without also having a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, which isn't happening.

Whaaaa?!? You mean to tell me this nefarious plan detailed on Salon.com by an author whose source is an article she read online from the AP isn't actually a realistic threat to our existence? My faith in stuff I read online always being free from bias and sensationalism has been shattered! This is a slippery slope and maybe in the near future outlets will find kernels of truth and slap outrageous taglines on them just to get people to click on the link. Don't laugh! That could totally happen!

Some of it, such as a call to "maintain a biblically based, social science–reinforced definition of marriage and family" is flat-out un-Constitutional.

But at least they want to "help" by spending child welfare money on "marriage and relationship education" and eliminating the HeadStart program.

A judge on Friday denied former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows' bid to move the Georgia criminal case against him to federal court, ruling that his alleged involvement in efforts to pressure state leaders to overturn the 2020 election results was not a part of his official duties as a government official.
