A question to ask all the MAGA Congressmen and Senators that won in the last election?

Do you think there was fraud in your re-election?

Evidently, they think their elections were fair and square?

It was only Trump at the top of the ticket that experienced the fraud?

The media could do a much better job questioning these phonies. They should turn the blow torches on their asses.

How could they possibly answer such a question honestly?

Did anyone watch FOX coverage on January 6th, 2021 ?

I am wondering just how much of the insurrection they covered?

They say Trump was off the Oval Office, in a small dining room watching FOX. How much did he actually see?

FOX has been known to not cover important events if they reflect poorly on their president or their Party.

Did they show the violence on that day?

Does anyone know what they chose to report?

A quote by Mark Twain:

January 7, 2024

A nation of laws or a nation of men?

We are a nation of laws unless you are MAGA men. Then the laws are obsolete and meaningless if they run counter to the wishes of the Cult Leader.

Most Americans believe that the laws that apply to you and I should apply to all Americans. But, that is not the way the MAGA Cult believes.

For example, if we engaged in the attack upon our Capitol with the intent of stopping the function of government and attempted to stop Donald Trump from becoming the next president, they would demand that we all be held accountable according to the 14th Amendment Section 3 of the Constitution.

If Joe Biden had done the same actions, and non-actions, of Trump, they would be singing an entirely different song. Joe Biden would be disqualified from ever running for office again and, most likely, would be in jail.

Are we a nation of laws or a nation of men? It depends on whether or not you are a member of the Cult. They believe themselves exempt from the laws and the Constitution.

The Simple Solution

The US Supreme Court follows the Colorado Supreme Court and declares Trump disqualified to run for the Presidency or any other office, per our Constitution. The evidence is as plain as the nose on your face.

Then, the Appeals Court rules that Trump's claim of immunity is a frivolous claim and the US Supreme Court refuses to take the case.

The trials should all begin on schedule.

The GOP should hold their convention on schedule in the middle of July and announce their candidate for the General Election.

That would be the best decision for our country, for democracy, and for peace around the world.

Then, someone should throw away the key.

Supreme Court will not rule on whether or not Trump "engaged in insurrection" ?

That's what the talking heads on CNN are saying.

But, would they leave the decision by the Colorado Supreme Court as is, when they unanimously agreed that Trump "engaged in insurrection", without clarifying it further?

Would that part of the Colorado decision then stand?

It would be helpful if another Court ruled that January 6th was an "insurrection", in my opinion. It would mostly remove that argument from the MAGA Repubs that continue to say it was not an "insurrection". As does Donald Trump.

If they continue to skirt around the issue of "insurrection", then very few people will be persuaded or changed from their present beliefs.

If only the Supreme Court and the Republican leaders could be as honest as Joe Biden about Jan 6th

They all saw what happened on January 6th. Some of them spoke the truth on that day and immediately afterward. But, somehow, politics seemed to have changed their minds.

Joe Biden gave a speech today. He spoke the truth about Donald Trump. No doubt, some Trump followers will be very angry. They may even threaten violence?

But, the President stood tall for democracy. He called for America to stand with him, Democrats, Independents, and Republicans, that are ready to fight for democracy. He did not pull any punches on the wannabe dictator, Trump.

I wonder where we would be today if Trump had won the last election? Or if his attempted coup had been successful?

How many soldiers died in the attack upon Ft Sumter?

Would you believe it was only two and it was an accident?

According to Google, "The bombardment of Fort Sumter was the opening engagement of the American Civil War. Although there were no casualties during the bombardment, one Union artillerist was killed and three wounded (one mortally) when a cannon exploded prematurely while firing a salute during the evacuation on April 14."

One might ask, was the attack upon our Capitol on January 6th, 2021, a worse attack upon our Republic than the attack upon Ft Sumter?

As far as we know, at Ft Sumter, the VP of the United States was not threatened to be hanged. The elected Congressmen and Senators of the people did not have to run for their lives. No one marched thru our Capitol with a Confederate flag.

And Donald Trump says that January 6th was not an "insurrection". Also, that he did not aid or abet in any insurrection.

A lot of guilty people are making some absurd claims of innocence.
