The 2024 Circus

Apparently the SC is going to rule tomorrow, 04MAR, on if Trump can be on ballots or not.

It would probably help Trump if the court ruled against him.

He wouldn't win the states that ban him anyway, and it would just whip up his base.

In other news, I saw an article proclaiming that "DR." Jill Biden is going to take a more active role on Brandon's campaign, so I made myself start to watch one of her speeches. I lasted about 15 seconds. Her voice is like a cat's claws on a blackboard. Yikes!

He bears quite a bit of blame for the inflation we have been having, due to policies by his Fed appointees during his last year in office.  His supporters don't seem to realize this.  His first three years were mostly good, but his decisions during his final year were awful.

Trump made the mistake of believing that the "best and the brightest" in a field that he knew nothing about, were actually the "best and the brightest."

[Bogie]

What a lot of the progs don't realize is that the Tea Party folks are still out there, only they don't call themselves that... The prog faithful are VERY into the dogma, so much so that it is distancing the folks who aren't quite that crazy... They HAVE to keep self-affirming... And that turns a lot of folks off, damn near as much as the truth about a few things...

Apparently Haley won a caucus. I saw it on Reddit and everyone in the sub said that it meant the end for Trump. It wasn't until I checked a news site to see that it was DC. 

I'm not sure if there is any worse PR for a Republican campaign than their candidate winning DC.

So Trump has only lost DC so far
If DC fears a candidate it no doubt means that candidate is good for the country

9-0 in Pres Trump's favor.

I'm genuinely stunned. I figured a couple of Justices would go the Ultra Lib route and vote against him because Orange Man Bad!. That they didn't is a huge neon "Get Your Head Out!" to remaining states with delusions of grandeur.

"Allowing people to vote for whomever they like is a threat to Our Democracy^tm !!"

I promise someone will post that on twitter before lunch, if they haven't already.

[WLJ]

Honestly I'm going to be shocked if someone on the left doesn't try to take Trump out.
At this point suicide bombing could even be on the table if they're willing to set themselves on fire over Gaza

In Major Blow To Democracy, Supreme Court Rules Voters Can Vote For Favorite Candidate

    The Supreme Court has betrayed democracy. Its members including Jackson, Kagan and Sotomayor have proved themselves inept at reading comprehension. And collectively the "court" has shown itself to be corrupt and illegitimate.

    It must be dissolved.

    Is SCOTUS deliberately creating a legal pathway to let Trump be president for life by invalidating the self-execution of the two-term limit?

I expected nothing else from Olbermann.

If that guy, in a scary nightmare world, had real power, there would be giant furnaces in every state where his jackboots would be burning pretty much 80% of the population. He's legit mentally ill.

Democrat Colorado Secretary of State Jena  Griswold says her reaction to the Supreme Court's unanimous decision is "disappointment."

"It will be up to the American voters to save our democracy in November."

She's got those crazy eyes going

Meanwhile over at MSNBC

Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson 'protest' majority in Colorado Trump ballot case

So is voting for something protesting something now?

It's a quote from their opinion, so yes?

Although we agree that Colorado cannot enforce Section 3, we protest the majority’s effort to use this case to define the limits of federal enforcement of that provision. Because we would decide only the issue before us, we concur only in the judgment.

[WLJ]

I think she's just trying to not get thrown into the oven by the left along with the rest of the court. "See! I was actually against it!"

[Boomhauer]

Now how many states are going to defy the Supreme Court and keep Trump off the ballot?
