The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that the former president had engaged in insurrection and was ineligible to hold office under the 14th Amendment.

Former President Donald J. Trump asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to keep him on the primary ballot in Colorado, appealing an explosive ruling from the state Supreme Court declaring him ineligible based on his efforts to overturn the 2020 election that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

The move adds to the growing pressure on the U.S. Supreme Court to act, given the number of challenges to Mr. Trump’s eligibility and the need for a nationwide resolution of the question as the primaries approach.

        They erected a gallows, to hang the Vice President, after your dear leader told them if they “didn’t fight like hell, they wouldn’t have a country”. But yeah, peaceful and patriotic. GTFO

          Don’t forget one of his lawyers is testifying that they made fake electors to bring and lie to steal the presidency. Which paints the reason Trump turned on his VP. Pence found out, and did his job/duty to his country. He stood up and made sure Trump couldn’t stop the Presidential transition. Pence had shit views on very many things, but there is a good chance he will go down in history for not being a coward when his back was put up against the wall. He may be the one who ends up with a statue for “saving america” one day.

        He’s a fucking traitor who enacted a plan to topple the United States government by refusing a peaceful transfer to a democratically elected President.

        “Fight like hell” he said, also asked the proud boys, those domestic terrorists, to “stand down, and stand by.”

        Not a peaceful protest. Did you not see the footage that was broadcast live for the world to see? Or are you one of those delusional idiots that needs to learn that simping for a so-called billionaire that’s begging you for every dollar you can spare makes you a pretty laughable mark.

        The last election wasn’t even close and that was with a hobbled post office. The Dow is at 37k, unemployment is low, Republicans are losing interest and purple Colorado just went blue.

        America doesn’t want fascism.
