Trump Removed from Maine Primary Ballot

McConnell in particular, Carpenter said, had in his hands the power to end Trump’s threat to the country by voting to convict him.

Mitch McConnell endorses Donald Trump for president​

The Senate Republican leader's statement came shortly after former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley ended her presidential campaign.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell endorsed Donald Trump for president on Wednesday, a remarkable turnaround from the onetime critic who blamed the then-president for “disgraceful” acts in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack but now supports his bid to return to the White House???

While McConnell refused to convict Trump in the Senate trial on House impeachment charges of inciting the insurrection at the Capitol, which could have left him ineligible to serve again as president, he warned that Trump was not immune from civil or criminal prosecution once he left the White House.

“He didn’t get away with anything yet — yet,” McConnell said in the Senate at the time.

“We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation, and former presidents are not immune from being accountable by either one,” he said.

"There's no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day," McConnell said shortly after the 57-43 Senate vote that ended in the former president's acquittal.

I'm glad. Do you think people think highly of Mitch?

"There's no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day," McConnell said shortly after the 57-43 Senate vote that ended in the former president's acquittal.

That was then. Today you say he's endorsing Trump? Wow! Scumbag. He's no RINO.

It's snowballing. There will be more states disqualifying him. It's also a kick in the butt at SCOTUS, telling them they can't slow-walk this.

Maine barred Donald Trump from the primary ballot Thursday, making it the second state in the country to block the former president from running again under a part of the Constitution that prevents insurrectionists from holding office.

The decision by Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) is sure to be appealed. The Colorado Supreme Court last week found Trump could not appear on the ballot in that state, and the Colorado Republican Party has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case. The nation’s high court could resolve for all states whether Trump can run again.

Snowball melted.

That's the way they roll in the political arena. Remember Kamala Harris' beating down of Biden during the primaries?

Now she's his VP.........

Kamala openly called Joe Biden a racist on national TV.

I guess she likes working for a racist.

In An Alternate Universe, Trump Is Disgraced And Gone Forever – But Not In Ours

Republican leaders and party influencers had a brief window to define Donald Trump and his actions following Jan. 6, but they failed to act.

www.huffpost.com

In an alternate universe somewhere, Donald Trump, fresh off his coup attempt that sought to end the 237-year-old republic, is disgraced and gone from politics forever, banished by his own party for what he did long before the legal system could catch up with him.
In our universe, though, the former president not only remains un-banished by Republicans, but has tightened his grip on the party even further, easily shaking off nearly a dozen rivals, and is now on the cusp of clinching the presidential nomination.

“Vladimir Putin looked at Donald Trump and thought, this is a weak man who will do anything for power, and Donald Trump looked at the Republican Party and thought, these are weak men and women who will do anything for power,” said Stuart Stevens, a Republican strategist with decades of experience on presidential campaigns. “And they were both right.”

The moment that crystalized the asymmetrical nature of the primary came late in the first Republican debate last August, when the Fox News hosts asked how many of the eight candidates on stage would support Donald Trump as the nominee even if he was by then a convicted felon.
Six of the eight signaled that, yes, they would — including Haley, the only one to outlast her rivals and earn, but eventually lose, a one-on-one race against Trump.
If Haley and the other five had intended to ever use Trump’s criminal prosecutions against him in the race, that possibility effectively evaporated with the raising of their hands.

McConnell in particular, Carpenter said, had in his hands the power to end Trump’s threat to the country by voting to convict him. He would easily have moved 10 other Republican senators with him, and Trump would have been barred from federal office forever.
“If 17 Republicans had convicted him, we wouldn’t be having this problem,” Carpenter said. “Mitch McConnell was not willing to risk the chance for a Senate majority to do that. And now here we are.”

so you link to proof of him being convicted of "crimes against democracy" is a Huffington Post op=ed about an "alternative universe" - well thanks for proving that dembot cultist live in a alternative universe.

The justices will rule on whether Trump is immune from being prosecuted for his part in the attempt to overthrow President Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 election.
Special counsel Jack Smith is looking to convict Trump of conspiring to defraud the United States, obstructing an official proceeding, conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiring to deprive millions of Americans of the right to have their votes counted.

While the court could make the decision any time after it hears arguments, it’s possible that a decision could come between June and July, according to The Washington Post.

Trump is also a defendant in several other cases. In the event that this case or others are delayed beyond the November election, Trump would be able to demand the Department of Justice drop them.

yes, we get that Jack and the Demafascist are looking to convict their political rival. That's not what we asked about...we are well aware of that.

If other states follow the same strategy in bouncing Dotard off the ballot using the 14th you can stick a fork in him, he's done.

Now piss & moan, Trumptards.

Lmfao, you're pissed off and moaning

 

[sealybobo]

Link us up to him being found guilty in a court of law for "crimes against democracy", Simp.

That is your claim.

You sound just like black Americans during the OJ trial. Today, they all know and admit he did it. So will you when Trump's dead. Or the nominee in 2032 will admit it just like Trump admitted Bush lied us into Iraq.

Republicans are hoping voters feel that the law is picking on Trump but do you get the sense Trump's mounting court cases and convictions is actually helping him with undecideds and independents?

Seems like the very crooked Supreme Court is going along with the idea that Trump is above the law. They're actually going to entertain the idea. This aught to be interesting.

But what scares me is this. Even Nikki Haley and Chris Christie Republicans will vote for Trump. Even though they've said he's not fit to be president they'll still vote for him.

Slamming GOP presidential hopefuls and other Republicans who have endorsed Trump, Christie added tartly, "Anyone who is unwilling to say he is unfit to be president of the United States is unfit themselves to be president of the United States."

bottom line, Trump never found guilty of a crime.

Why does he owe E Gene Carroll millions then?

And why would Chris Chrstie say this?

wasn't a crime. it was a civil case and she ain't gonna see a dime. You demofks should learn the difference between civil and criminal court.

He will be convicted of lying to the FBI. Even his employees are going to testify how he had them hiding classified documents. They don't want to get in trouble.

And even Trump own lawyers have to testify against him. Because he lied to them and in turn they lied to the FBI. Either they lied or he lied. So the secret service and lawyers aren't going down for Trump.

And what about his lawyer Sidney Powell found guilty?

Isn't it funny all these people who work for Trump are found guilty but Trump never is? He sent Sidney Powell to hack into voting machines.

And isn't hiring illegals a crime? We know he did this even without being convicted because he got rid of them half way through his presidency because the story was about to break.

RICO laws. State charges. He can't get himself out of those only Federal ones. LOVE IT!
