Your 2024 Presidential Election Thread

[R.Caerbannog]

That someone was the State Department and its associated liberal VOLAGs who facilitated the influx of Somali refugees.

Where you see a nefarious master plan designed by some consortium of conspirators, I see business as usual by a variety bleeding heart liberals and socialists who think they can save the planet at any cost and ruin conservative opposition in the process.

I agree with you on the business as usual by liberals and commies. That said, don't you find it odd that the same thing has happened in Britain with the Paki's, Canada with the Indian's and Chicoms, or Germany & the EU with the North African's? Everything from the uprooting of native populations, the refusal to assimilate, the political and cultural damage wrought by the new arrivals, has played out all over the West.

Hell, the current invasion has UN support groups based out of the old USSOUTHCOM buildings in Panama. These groups are going by a plan, they're getting funding, political cover, and media top cover from somewhere. Stuff like this doesn't happen organically.

One is coincidence, twice is happenstance, three times is enemy action.

After the recent speech in Vegas - it has become clear that not only are we no longer serious about being American - we aren't even serious about being sentient beings - but hey - dont take my word for it - I'm just a narrow minded partisan that believes in ageism...

So "None" won in Nevada over Nikki Haley 63% -31%

They say life imitates art...

When Montgomery Brewster spearheaded his "None of the Above" campaign for mayor of New York City - who would have thought that such a beloved, well advertised, and TOTALLY more popular candidate than Donald Trump according to her campaign commercials would have finished second by 30 percentage points on a "None of the Above" primary vote...

...stay tuned for the next episode of everyones favorite reality TV show, "Election Season"

Trump's SCOTUS hearing going on now. Some outlets are livestreaming.

I cannot imagine SCOTUS voting that state's can bar him on the ballot based on the 14th amendment when he has not been charged or tried for those allegation. I also not the irony that Colorado, et al., are trying to nail him on the 14th amendment when they are violating the 14th amendment (due process).

 

[Devildoc]

Gorsuch tore up Colorado's guy pretty good, ripping him a new a-hole. Even the democrat justices aren't big on his arguments. Fascinating listening to the livestream.

 

[Devildoc]

Jackson on the bandwagon, she's giving him hell lol.

 

[Topkick]

has not been charged or tried for those allegation

Because they all know there was no insurrection.

A few justices have hammered them (Colorado sec of state now giving her piece) on the language.

The Colorado claim isn't going to pass the Supreme Court. The ruling will likely find that the insurrection ban (which doesn't require conviction btw) is only applicable to those running in state races, I.E. Congressional seats.

It'll find that banning Presidential candidates requires a stronger bar, but will probably leave the specifics of that for Congress to create a framework for.

There is the argument that because insurrection wasn't a legally defined crime prior to the 14th Ammendment that after insurrection was criminalized it now requires a conviction, and I could see the court going that route as well.

ETA: I feel like this is one of those cases where it's known the legal framework is shakey, but it was pushed more to establish precedent than actually win its argument.

Yeah, agreed. Colorado's case has more holes than my son's underwear.

Court adjourned until next Friday at 10. None of the justices seemed to buy Colorado's case, and Trump's attorney did a pretty decent job at highlighting Colorado's legal inconsistencies and attacking its conclusions.

…And to win retention votes from their liberal, Trump-hating constituents. Colorado SC justices serve terms, like most other states. They are political animals just towing the line.

That's exactly what it is. The whole J6 thing has been about keeping the orange man out and this is just another hit job. Political theater.

If SCOTUS shuts them down, so much for precedent. I don't think any other state will attempt to try it. But maybe. I have been wrong before. But I absolutely buy the argument that they knew or felt it wasn't going to survive SCOTUS muster and that this was a "statement."

In NC justices serve 8 year terms, and are voted.

Just when I was warming up some to Bill Maher, he reminds me again why I think he's a douche....

 

[Gunz]

At least he admits California’s full of weirdos. But he’s very wrong in thinking that a guy that gets elected in a state full of commie weirdos is a shoe-in to win a national election.

He could not provide one thing positive thing Newsom has done for California. I listened to the whole podcast and it was not Maher's finest moment. He was rude, defensive, arrogant, and childish all the way through. PBD just sat back and let him make an ass of himself.

That's the precedent I think will be set. States won't be able to unilaterally block national level candidates.

It'll wind up future proofing that "state led by party X can't block candidate from party Y on the Presidential ballot".

 

[Topkick]

this was a "statement."

I doubt it but maybe they'll just say GTFOH, there was no insurrection.
