Dust yourself off

Lyle Northey (Silent/Boomer)

The Constitution has a provision that disqualifies anyone that engaged in an insurrection from holding office. Trump has been found guilty of that by trials and yet he ran for and won the highest office in the country. The Supreme Court kept one state from removing his name from the ballot by saying he may not hold office but you can’t keep him off the ballot.
This court is by it’s actions staffed by some of the dumbest well educated people on the planet. Six are conservative and of the same religion, and none of them seem to be able to think clearly or at least not in accordance with the Constitution. Their presence on the court is a major waste of time and money, not to mention that they know nothing of the law.These justices have openly supported Trump knowing that he should not be allowed to hold office and should be removed from the court.
Will Congress or the current President make the effort to invoke the disqualification? It needs to occur and it needs to be upheld. In the current congress there are members that supported the insurrection and they should also be removed from those positions immediately. The lack of any beneficial legislation during the last 4 years because of the loyalty to Trump by the republican members of both houses is enough to remove the majority of them on the basis of the 14th Amendment.
As for the rank and file of MAGA let them know that violence will not serve them well. Putting threats on the net or showing up armed in the street will only mean that they are willing to forfeit all they have for a cause that is collapsing around them. Take away voting rights, homes, benefits such as social security and VA benefits. If you are willing to go into the street and possibly kill someone because they do not agree with your point of view then you must be willing to have all that you hold dear taken from you in support of your belief.
Sound mean and ugly? But then the leader of the cult wants to take people, some of whom have lived here for years, that are undocumented and put them in camps taking everything they have away from them. The need to get people documented or removed may be necessary but there are ways to do things that save face as they say in Japan.
Many people come here to experience freedom as did your ancestors. We are all immigrants in our past. Those earlier immigrants took this land from people that had been here before us and then created a nation under a concept that was different from the norm. That experiment is just a few hundred years old and it has been doing very well, so why do we have so many in our midst that wish to revert back to a dictatorship? The answer is because freedom takes work and effort and far too many have become the generation of the hand out. The give me generation and don’t ask me to do anything to get it, and they think this is going to be better and they are wrong. This is not going to work in anyone’s favor except Trump the biggest give me culprit on the planet.
