The fix was in as per the U.S. Supreme Court and keeping Trump on the ballot. We can't define what ...

…. an insurrection was or if Trump participated in one on 1/6/21. That meme was ready to go
even before the Court heard one word. The “insurrection can’t be defined” was up and ready to
go from the jump and not just @ the Supreme Court because when a right winger was my substitute
home health aid yesterday was talking that point up from the start. Besides not only was the
definition of insurrection a problem for her but she said that besides there is no proof that Trump
participated in any insurrection.

You see it is not what you saw with your own eyes on 1/6 or read in the very plainly written 14th
Amendment Article 3 or that U.S. Constitution dictated a peaceful transfer of power but what
“spin” that the right can put on the facts.


Insurrection now =. WMDs in Iraq = Steele Dossier is a fake = HRC’s emails = John Kerry wasn’t
a hero in Vietnam =. CRT = the danger of trans people using a bathroom they want = Nixon’s peace
with honor = the danger of vaccines = …..

Billions of dollars being spent by the likes of Harlan Crow, Fox News, an on going act of war
in a Russian disinformation campaign aimed at weakening America, and other right wing media
& social media outlets are cancers on our Nation.

The right of a state to conduct its own election without interference? Absolutely!

(except)

2000: Florida, no you don't have that right! (because our guy might lose)

2024: Colorado, no you don't have that right! (because our guy might lose)

Any others step forward!

And sure don't like reading the 14th Amendment.
