Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft said that while he didn’t want to do it, he had to remind people of how “severe” the situation is.
A top Republican official in Missouri is threatening to remove President Joe Biden from appearing on the ballot as retaliation for the determination in two other states that Donald Trump doesn’t qualify because he “engaged in insurrection.”
“What has happened in Colorado & Maine is disgraceful & undermines our republic,” Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft wrote on the social media site X on Friday. “While I expect the Supreme Court to overturn this, if not, Secretaries of State will step in & ensure the new legal standard for @realDonaldTrump applies equally to @JoeBiden!”
Ashcroft’s post came shortly after the Supreme Court agreed to review a decision by Colorado’s high court that found Trump could be barred from the state’s primary ballot because of his actions leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
That’s just being pedantic. What’s a better word to use to say “he fucking did it?”
… Did you really just dismiss something that relies, literally, on pedantry, as a system of understanding, for being… Pedantic?
Guilt isn’t part of the amendment, just engaging in sedition is enough, not being found guilty of it.
Guilty being the operative word, which has legal definitions, feel free to ignore/dismiss actual meanings of words for convenience but that is an odd stance to be taking if you aren’t a MAGA? (I’ve interacted with you before, and you’re better than that which is why I’m confused)
He engaged in it. Another way to say that is he is guilty of it. I didn’t say he was convicted. So the question still stands: Do you have a better word that means “he fucking did it” that isn’t “guilty?” Because this isn’t a court room and we’re not lawyers. Reasonable people understood what I meant.
