January 6th Capitol Riot

‘Oath-breaking insurrectionist’ Trump is ineligible for office, Colorado voters tell the Supreme Court

‘Oath-breaking insurrectionist’ Trump is ineligible for office, Colorado voters tell the Supreme Court

It’s a headline that many of us thought we would never see, but it seems that there may finally be some justice on the horizon. Colorado voters have taken a stand and told the Supreme Court that former President Donald Trump is ineligible for office due to his involvement in the insurrection that took place on January 6, 2021.

When I first heard the news, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. Finally, someone is holding Trump accountable for his actions. The events of January 6 were a dark day in American history, and it is clear that Trump played a significant role in inciting the violence that unfolded at the Capitol.… Continue reading

Colorado voters seeking to disqualify Trump from the ballot tell Supreme Court Jan. 6 ‘will forever stain’ US history

Colorado voters seeking to disqualify Trump from the ballot are making a bold and necessary move. As responsible and patriotic citizens, they are doing their civic duty to clean up the mess created by the former president. The stain on US history is not simply Trump’s presidency itself, but his actions that led to the events of January 6.

Many argue that the 14th Amendment should be invoked to bar Trump from running for office again. If the Supreme Court rules against him, it will send a strong message that the Constitution is not to be undermined for political gain. On the other hand, if they rule in his favor, it would confirm the perception that the court has become another political arm.… Continue reading

Proud Boys member gets six years in prison for Capitol riot after insulting judge

Proud Boys member gets six years in prison for Capitol riot after insulting judge

I can’t help but shake my head at the audacity and lack of remorse displayed by Marc Bru, a member of the Proud Boys, during his sentencing for his participation in the Capitol riot. Bru, who was handcuffed and shackled, boldly proclaimed, “You can give me 100 years and I’d do it all over again.” These words not only reflect his defiance towards the legal system but also his belief that he will be pardoned within a year.

It is truly disheartening to witness someone who actively participated in an armed insurrection against democracy show no remorse for their actions.… Continue reading

McConnell, Cruz defend Trump to Supreme Court, asking: What’s an ‘insurrection’ anyway?

McConnell, Cruz defend Trump to Supreme Court, asking: What’s an ‘insurrection’ anyway?

As I sit here and reflect on the current state of our nation’s politics, I can’t help but feel a sense of frustration and disbelief. The headline, “McConnell, Cruz defend Trump to Supreme Court, asking: What’s an ‘insurrection’ anyway?” perfectly encapsulates the deep-rooted issues we’re facing.

The comments on this topic are both passionate and scathing, showcasing the intense emotions many Americans are experiencing. It’s clear that the sentiment towards McConnell, Cruz, and Trump is overwhelmingly negative. People are tired of their actions and rhetoric, viewing them as corrupt politicians who prioritize their own interests over the well-being of the nation.… Continue reading

Trump appears to mix up Pelosi, Haley while speaking about Jan. 6

As I watched the latest debacle unfold, I couldn’t help but think – how has it come to this? Former president Donald Trump speaking publicly and appearing to confuse the roles of two prominent women politicians – he suggested Nikki Haley was in charge on January 6, the day the U.S Capitol was stormed; a responsibility that fell under Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s purview. The cognitive decline seemingly implied by this mix-up is deeply concerning, bordering on alarming as it perhaps signifies the initial stages of degeneration.

One cannot simply brush off such glaring errors, especially when they come from someone who once occupied the highest office in the nation.… Continue reading

McConnell breaks with RNC: Jan. 6 ‘violent insurrection’

Sure. He said this immediately after the impeachment, and even said Trump was responsible… except he declined to hold Trump responsible.

You misunderstand McConnell’s grand plan. He’s using the courts he tricked Trump into assembling to fuck him at every turn (election results, his tax returns, now J6) while supporting traditional conservative principles (minor wins for religious rights, campaign finance, likely wins for guns and abortion in Corlett and Dobbs coming out this summer). And while the courts destroy him piece by piece, the J6 committee led by two McConnell Republicans exposes the real dirt behind him and leaves him with his pants down for the Federalist Society graduate DOJ to come and collect.… Continue reading

Trump White House records are now in the hands of Jan 6 committee

It’s an absolute travesty they were able to delay this for as long as they did and it had to involve the Supreme Court to issue a ruling your average joe could have figured out.

SC never ruled on the merits per se, they just blocked a stay of the lower courts ruling, in effect not taking up the case. The lower court had essentially issued a scathing opinion that who is Trump to try and exert Executive privilege opposite to that of the current Executive branch. Roberts agreed at its ridiculousness. Trump never stood a chance and it only took a few months overall, which is lightning quick.… Continue reading
