I will NOT normalize.

The 14th amendment of the constitution prohibits it from serving. Where are the men willing to stand against this criminal piece of shit?

[rampartd]

1. difficult to call it human

and certainly not a "man" of the kind my grandfather taught me to be.

[jimfields33]

26. He is horrible.

Us as a group not calling him president means nothing unfortunately.

[rampartd]

30. and ya know what , jim

what is wrong with these people? i thought they did "their own research"

[jimfields33]

32. Definitely not on both counts.

[Kingofalldems]

[Trueblue1968]

39. i hate its guts

[chouchou]

2. I agree and also..Wait until this.."Ladies and Gentleman. Your State Of the Union ..President Donald Trump

"Many sharks out in the deep ocean will be out of power when eating the cats and dogs around porta rico. We will make
sure the planes just like the civil war airplanes will bring the eggs and you will have free health care for your insurance
houses and one of the Corvid injections will never happen (Corvid is a crow) My new Lawyer PAM Bambi will...."

3. The Lone Ranger is not coming...

We are strapped to out collective fate. All we can do is protect ourselves from what is going to be a government gone awry.

[Butterflylady]

4. I didn't the last time....

[Clouds Passing]

[Six117]

13. Sigh, just noodling here.

I wonder if we have standing to sue for, idk, conspiracy to deny rights. Do we have a right to be governed by our Constitution?

[onecaliberal]

15. We have only the rights those 6 fucking rapist pigs grant us.

[totodeinhere]

17. It is an adjudicated rapist.

And it is appointing other rapists to fill many of its cabinet slots.

[czarjak]

18. "They're rapists."

Period.

[niyad]

19. TRAITOR** (for twice-impeached)) works for me. Or F'n, murdering, orange, RAPIST,

TRAITOR**.

[barbtries]

20. Calling TCFSF "it" reminds me of

Silence of the Lambs - so it's appropriate, as no doubt the late, great hannibal lecter refers to it by the same name.

[XanaDUer2]

21. Rapist, felon, spy

Its unbelievable. Imagine a Democrat pretending to blow a microphone

[endless summer]

22. Prepare

for government of the id, for the id, and by the id. Lizard brains full steam ahead. I feel like screaming, we’re all in for a tough four years.

[Pepsidog]

23. Unfortunately the men and women who would try and stand against it are republicans. Were are Rs in this position they

would stand against this, of that I am sure. We Dems are the nice guys, like Garland, a real gentleman, an institutionalist. No doubt Biden and Dems passed historic legislation that Rs will benefit from for years. We took the reins of power from a wannabe gangster and needed Eliot Ness but hit Mr. Rogers. As much as I love Obama, I see his weakness now. He should have directed Garland to take the SC seat arguing that the Senate waives their advice and consent responsibility. Who would have stopped him? At least we would have put Garland where he belonged. And an argument can be made that some in the Bush administration should have been prosecuted for lying about WMD in Iraq. Rs savagely attacked President Clinton but at least he fought back. Kerry let Rs define him as weak and coining a new term “swift boating”. When will we Dems grow a spine and get off our high horse and get back to hardball politics? I know this post may violate site rules about criticizing our party, but we must not continue to stick our heads in the sand while Rs run us over. I’m just so frustrated.

[onecaliberal]

24. I didn't include women because we are NOT full citizens with decision making ability for our own lives.

[Crunchy Frog]

41. I don't think those rules were ever meant to apply to constructive criticism.

[bucolic_frolic]

27. TSMRSpy?

I thought so all along.

31. To answer 14A query - Reconstruction Era precedents that are now lost or irrelevant

You must return to Reconstruction to see how the US Army of occupation handled insurrection before and after 14A passage.

U.S. Grant was General of the Army (1866), Secretary of war (1867), and then of course President. As General of the Army he prevented some insurrectionists from holding elected office, particularly in Louisiana. A US Senator-elect was prevented from taking his seat by vote of the US Senate. [This from the book Klan War By Fergus M. Bordewich]

Reconstruction remains a lightly touched subject. We are very late to learning the lessons of it.

At least eight public officials have been formally adjudicated to be disqualified and barred from public office under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment since its ratification in 1868.

Section 3, also known as the Disqualification Clause, has gained new relevance in the wake of the January 6th insurrection, when a violent mob that then-President Trump summoned and urged to “fight like hell” seized the United States Capitol to disrupt the peaceful transition of power. Adopted after the Civil War to protect American democracy from those who sought to destroy it, Section 3 disqualifies from office anyone who swore an oath to support the Constitution as a federal or state officer and then engaged in insurrection or rebellion against it, unless Congress removes the disqualification by a two-thirds vote.

CREW analyzed historical records to identify all public officials who a court, legislature, or other body determined to have been disqualified under Section 3. The list includes six officials aligned with the Confederacy who held office after the Civil War, as well as former New Mexico County Commissioner Couy Griffin, who a state court removed from office last year based on his participation in the January 6th insurrection following a lawsuit CREW brought on behalf of three New Mexico residents.

Section 3 adjudications against former Confederates were rare in the aftermath of the Civil War. That is because it was widely understood that former Confederates who took an oath to support the Constitution before the Civil War were disqualified under Section 3 and therefore many likely did not seek office in the first place. In fact, ex-Confederates flooded Congress with thousands of amnesty requests to “remove” their Section 3 disqualification, demonstrating that they understood themselves to be disqualified even without a formal adjudication. In addition, the window for disqualifying ex-Confederates was small: the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified on July 9, 1868, and Congress removed the Section 3 disqualification for most ex-Confederates less than four years later in the Amnesty Act of May 22, 1872 (that statute withheld amnesty from Confederate leaders such as Jefferson Davis). So while only eight officials have been formally ruled to be disqualified under Section 3, thousands more were understood to be disqualified in the period between the Fourteenth Amendment’s ratification in 1868 and Congress’s passage of the Amnesty Act in 1872 that applied to former Confederates.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unseated_members_of_the_United_States_Congress
Both houses of the United States Congress have refused to seat new members based on Article I, Section 5 of the United States Constitution which states that:

"Each House shall be the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members, and a majority of each shall constitute a quorum to do business; but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner, and under such penalties as each House may provide."

This had been interpreted that members of the House of Representatives and of the Senate could refuse to recognize the election or appointment of a new representative or senator for any reason, often political heterodoxy or criminal record.

33. If anyone in my presence refers to it as President,

I will just give one of my looks and say geez omg shake my head and walk away.
There are no words to add at a short attempt of conversation or whatever might be transpiring. If I can't escape or walk away I will just change the conversation. Or if able I will say a few very unsavory remarks.

[Karma13612]

34. I call it PEINO right now

As of January 20th 2025 at 12:01 PM EST, it will be PINO.

Short for President (Elect) In Name Only.

Simple , precise, rolls off the tongue.
Won’t have to say its name ever again.
Feel free to join me!

[Hekate]

35. Apricot Hellbeast, was one name the Scots had for him when he destroyed a beach to build a golf resort

I think Marmalade Shitgibbon was another. Would probably be worthwhile to google it — they were good.

Back when it first got into the White House I called it things like the Trojan Horse.

36. "The Rapist" has a nice ring to it.

That's what I'll be using for the next 4 years.

[yellowdogintexas]

37. Our own Ferret, Jeff Tiedrich, Stephanie Miller and Bob Cesca have a ton of fabulous alternative names

for it. They are also hilarious.

I do not know which one came first but Stephanie and Jeff Tiedrich both refer toe Gaetz as "Rapey McForehead"

Note to Self: go out to Ferret's blog (Shower Cap) and catch up. I often do not see his DU posts and forget to go to his blog.

I think it was Cesca who first came up with Sporkfoot for MTG.

By the way, someone suggested a forum here for fans of the Stephanie Miller Cinematic Universe. I think it is a very good idea!!!

[onecaliberal]

38. Love her. I has a FSTV subscription for the longest.

[mahina]

40. Completely disagree. Dehumanizing us is wrong and dehumanizing him is also wrong.

Nothing good comes from going down that path. Of course I’m not going change what you do, but I can’t leave it unstated. That’s a very dark path.

All of the hilarious nicknames are completely fair imho

[Blue_Tires]

42. Co-signed

43. Not my president

44. My little rap songie, "Donald Trump Is a Rapist"

[Dem4life1234]

45. He's not my POTUS

I throw up when he's referred to by that title...President.

He has desecrated the office of the American presidency.

He doesn't even care about me or even any of his brain dead supporters, why does he warrant the honor again?

[markie]

46. It

hmmm... apt because whatever, it is not human... no humanities exist near it... no art, no (real) music, no literature, no sense of history, etc., etc....

what the ever-loving f is happening....

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I do not believe this election result would hold up to a forensic audit or single swing state recount, and the fact that no efforts were made by the Dems to do the smallest due diligence is and will always be extremely disappointing.
December 1, 2024 at 12:43 PM


There's quite a few people on Bluesky that believe this. I haven't seen convincing proof that this wasn't anything but the fact that we lost.
