As I watched President Biden deliver his fiery State of the Union address, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration for his unwavering passion and determination. From the moment he took the stage, he wasted no time in laying into Trump and his cronies, addressing the pressing issues facing our nation head-on. It was refreshing to see a leader who isn’t afraid to speak the truth, even if it meant calling out the blatant hypocrisy and lies of the opposition.
One of the most surreal moments of the night was when Biden brought up the events of January 6th, and the Republicans who were complicit in stoking the flames of insurrection.… Continue reading
As I sit down to reflect on the recent news of McConnell endorsing Trump for president, I can’t help but feel a wave of disappointment and disgust wash over me. It’s hard to comprehend how someone who once condemned Trump for the ‘disgraceful’ events of January 6th could now turn around and support him for another presidential bid. The hypocrisy and lack of integrity displayed by McConnell is truly disheartening.
McConnell, a man who has positioned himself as a leader within the Republican party, should be held to a higher standard. His endorsement of Trump not only undermines his own credibility but also raises serious questions about his priorities and values.… Continue reading
The Supreme Court did Trump no favors. He’ll be facing a fall trial. In the midst of rampant corruption and scandal swirling around former President Donald Trump, the recent decision by the Supreme Court to delay his trial until the fall is a blatant display of favoritism and a threat to democracy. The fact that they have refused to rule on whether Presidents are immune to prosecution speaks volumes about where their loyalties lie.
The timing of this decision is suspect, to say the least. By pushing the trial to the fall, they have effectively given Trump more time to evade justice and continue his destructive behavior.… Continue reading
The Supreme Court will hear the Trump presidential immunity argument on April 25th, and the implications of this decision are significant. The debate around whether a president should have absolute immunity has been ongoing, but it is essential to consider the precedent set by US v Nixon, where it was unanimously decided that the President does not have absolute immunity.
The delay in the Supreme Court’s decision is frustrating, especially when there are pending elections that could be impacted by the outcome. It is crucial to recognize that no one, not even the President, should be above the law. Granting immunity to a former President could set a dangerous precedent and undermine the principles of democracy and justice.… Continue reading
This recent development regarding Jamie Raskin’s plan to kick Trump off the ballot is both intriguing and frustrating. On one hand, it’s refreshing to see a Democratic representative taking action and not backing down in the face of opposition. Raskin’s determination to push forward with legislation, despite the slim chances of success, is commendable. It’s a reminder that sometimes the fight for justice and democracy requires bold and unwavering action.
The Supreme Court’s ruling, which stated that Congress must pass a law to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment, sparked Raskin’s efforts to revive legislation that would disqualify individuals who committed insurrection. This move is crucial in holding those responsible for the Capitol insurrection, like Trump, accountable for their actions.… Continue reading
Trump is degenerating before our eyes, and it seems like MAGA voters either don’t notice or simply don’t care. As I watched his recent ramblings on national TV, I couldn’t help but cringe at the utter nonsense that was coming out of his mouth. It was like witnessing a horror show in slow motion. But while I, along with the rest of America, are alarmed by his deteriorating mental faculties, his hardcore base seems unfazed.
It’s unsettling to see how Trump’s once coherent and confident demeanor has now devolved into incoherent babble and nonsensical rants. Comparing his past speeches to his recent ones, it’s evident that something is not right.… Continue reading
As a resident of Colorado eagerly awaiting the Supreme Court’s ruling on former President Donald J. Trump’s eligibility to hold office, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and skepticism. The fact that the justices have expedited their decision-making process ahead of Super Tuesday certainly adds a layer of urgency to the situation. However, given the current political climate and the composition of the Court, it’s hard not to feel a sense of disillusionment.
The Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling in December, deeming Mr. Trump ineligible under the 14th Amendment due to his involvement in the insurrection, raised hopes for accountability and justice.… Continue reading
As I watched the video of the Trump rally where the crowd fell silent after he confused Biden with Obama once again, it made me reflect on the current state of politics in America. The fact that Trump continuously makes these mistakes, whether intentional or not, speaks volumes about his cognitive abilities and his lack of awareness. The name Obama seems to have a special place in his mind, living rent-free and triggering a visceral reaction among his supporters. It’s clear that Trump’s obsession with Obama stems from a deeper issue, one that involves race and power dynamics that he cannot come to terms with.… Continue reading
When I first heard that the US Supreme Court had ruled that Trump was wrongly removed from the Colorado ballot, I couldn’t help but feel a sinking sense of disappointment. It seems as though the sacred principle of states’ rights has been discarded, and the power of individual states to make decisions for the well-being of their citizens has been undermined. The court rationalized this decision based on the enforcement of the 14th Amendment, but in doing so, they have essentially opened the floodgates for potential abuse of power.
In the context of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies individuals who have engaged in insurrection from holding office, the implications are ominous.… Continue reading
While it may seem like a no-brainer for a large percentage of Republican primary voters to not support Trump, the reality is that many of them end up voting for him anyway. The idea that a significant fraction of GOP voters can’t stomach Trump, yet will still cast their ballot in his favor, is certainly perplexing. It begs the question of what drives these voters to compromise their values and principles in support of a candidate they claim to find repugnant.
The notion that Republican voters have been indoctrinated from a young age to believe that any Republican is better than any Democrat speaks volumes about the tribalism and polarization within the party.… Continue reading
