Why would you post any possible incentive to vote for Trump?

The implication is that if Trump wins, he won’t be leaving in 4 years. He won’t be leaving until death. Because that’s what dictators do.

I can see the argument from a certain perspective of the language, outside of context.

But remember when this amendment was passed. Right after the Civil War.

So, they wanted an amendment to bar traitors from federal office. Then they put in a section saying Congress has to actually make laws enforcing that rule, or it does nothing. And then, they didn’t make any such laws?!

So, what, they went through all the work to make a constitutional amendment, and then it does nothing?

No, they clearly felt that the rule was clear enough as it was, and section 5 is there to allow Congress to make supporting laws built upon that to help enforce that rule. But that rule should have teeth on its own.

Sure, Squeak…

We found the Spiders Georg of liberal women.

But in all seriousness, how could a woman perceive the conservative agenda and NOT become more liberal in response?!

Oppression kink?

Even if the Supreme Court upholds the removal of Trump from the Colorado ballot, it isn’t immediately over for him, unfortunately. He won in 2016 without Colorado.

That said, it would be a precedent, and other Secretaries of State could start removing him with confidence. The question remains: would enough states remove him to make winning impossible? Which is to ask: how many battleground states (or even red states) would remove him?

I’m far left […]

Cool.

If the big bang had never occurred, queer.af would never have died.

Ergo: big bang killed queer.af.

QED

They almost certainly picked it just for the joke.

queer.af = Queer AF = Queer as fuck!

It’s like how popular the TLD of Guernsey (.gg) is with gaming websites.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t even realize what country code the TLD was when they registered it.

‘we should have separated the people into their own regions’

We should launch all the white supremacists to Mars and see how well they fare building their own civilization.

If you’re proud of limiting the genetic diversity in your lineage, you probably look as weird as some “purebred” dogs (i.e. inbred).

Dude might be the only person with teeth whom you could punch in the mouth and hit only gums.

If God wanted those kids fed, he’d have rained mana from the heavens, or multiplied bread and fish for them. If they are hungry, they clearly deserve it.

I’d argue that an unconstitutional law is itself illegal, and thus does not render an unconstitutional action legal. That said, I’m sure I’d lose any argument on the constitutionality of the war power granted by Congress to the President.

The truth is, our Constitution was written in a time when the world moved much more slowly. It’s unfortunately no longer practical to expect it to work in a world as fast paced as ours is today. We need a full rewrite, but I do not trust anyone to rewrite it.

I guess I meant that those standing authorizations should not exist, as they effectively abdicate a power the Constitution outlined for Congress, transferring it to the President. They erode the checks and balances.

While I agree, let’s not pretend that presidents haven’t been launching combat missions without formal declaration of war for decades. Longer than I’ve been alive. It’s one of the biggest expansions of executive power we have allowed, under the guise of “the war on terror”, “the cold war”, or even “the war on drugs”.

Yeah, that tracks.

Matches their smooth brains.

The leader of each house is Republican, and they control what comes up for a vote. He can encourage all he wants, he has no say in the matter.

I mean, what’s he supposed to do right now? Republicans still control both houses of congress (or, at least, hold enough seats to render both houses impotent). The upcoming congressional elections matter as much as (or potentially more than) the presidential election.
