Given that a conviction does not stop this person from running as a candidate for POTUS. I wish the media would stop giving this guy air time.
It’s all he wants. He didn’t show up to the GOP debate yet somehow still got equal mentions in mainstream media.
Even local news channels airing his prerecorded shit. Like bro, I want the traffic and weather updates. Not this bs
The Constitution itself would suggest he’s already barred from running. I am just hoping someone takes this up and actually challenges it in the courts well ahead of time. Disqualification comes the moment you’re even brought to trial on sedition charges. This was incorporated language following the Civil War as there otherwise would have been too many people to disqualify individually through the litigation process ahead of future elections.
This article does a good job explaining this provision within the 14th Amendment: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/10/us/trump-jan-6-insurrection-conservatives.html
They cherry-pick the Constitution more than the Bible. That doesn’t mean anything to them.
The corrupt supreme court has literally ruled that part of the text of the second amendment is the absolute unchallengable law of the land and another part just doesn’t count. They don’t just pick the cherries, they pit them as well.

I personally know someone working to file suit against the state AG to bar trump from the ballot in their state, so there are things going on. Whether they’re successful or not is anyone’s guess.
My guess is “no, they won’t be.” The 14th may in fact bar someone from holding office, however, it’s my personal belief the 5th and the 14th both require them to be convicted of said offenses to first trigger the bar
There was an editor for a major newspaper, but I can’t remember exactly which one, that was on Preet’s podcast. I think it was the NY Times and Preet asked if he’d rather have Trump and the drama attached or trump no longer ever allowed to be president, he picked Trump and the drama because it sells newspapers. It was a sheepishly done answer because he was not a fan of trump Their job is to sell newspapers.
He should be. The other republicans are afraid.
He is no “VIP” anymore!
