Just say "NO!" to insurrectionists.

That's two, now. We're going to need a lot more dominoes falling before this'll stick, though.

Even if Diaper Don had not loosed the mob on the Capitol with the intent of stopping or preventing the certification had he not told them to, let alone come to the capitol that day to "stop the steal", they would not have marched on the Capitol and rioted.
PS, I want to know who's responsible for the gallows being there?

Having decided to accept that the SCOTUS will be the final word on this issue. Weeks months away now from being decided.
Is not a clear turning point.
My prediction is from October to this time next year going into January will be a time filed with extreme turmoil. The smelly former guy will be getting his minions fired up and out in mass. Knowing full well that for him and his enabling henchman it is do or go to jail time.

I'm more interested in who placed the two bombs outside of both National Committee headquarters.

John Dean: ‘Trump’s in trouble’ after Maine ruling
https://thehill.com/regulation/court...ng-in-trouble/

Quote:

Dean said he doesn’t think the Supreme Court would go against either decision, citing a plain reading of the amendment’s text.

“I want to see those strict constructionist and originalists get around that language,” he said. “How are they going to do it? I don’t know. It looks so applicable. I don’t know what they can do with it other than take [Trump] off the ballot.”
Well, it all depends on just how loyal Thomas and Alito are to their billionaire enablers vs the Constitution, and whether those billionaire enablers are finally done with Donny. Fingers crossed...

Agree. The gallows were planned and transported and set-up, and there was buzz about executing various targets. Points to a particularly sharp branch of the conspiracy, including conspiracy to committ murder. Should have been a priority investigative target.

Another very serious matter.

Arguments I have read elsewhere is that the Maine SoS Bellows made her decision based on the J6 committee hearings, not on evidence gathered by AG Jack Smith. This then could be used as an excuse by the current GOP House members on their impeachment quest to bar Biden from red states. What happens then? Supreme court has to weigh in again as the clock keeps ticking and Trump will still be on the ballot since the decisions are stayed?

Do committee hearings have legal standing? No, since they make referrals to the AG for action.

Without a final ruling from the court on a federal level. Allowing a state by state decision will only increase the divisions in the country.
