We are a central American banana republic.

Corrupt law enforcement, corrupt legislators, grossly obvious kangaroo courts with corrupt judges assisting corrupt DA’s. All pissing on the law to exterminate political opposition. With 40%+ of our population cheering it on.

This shiat would be a big farking joke if it weren’t so obvious that the Constitution is worthless and we now must live in fear of being noticed and subsequently destroyed by our rulers.

constitutionally speaking..not a chance.

besides, Trump has not been convicted of insurrection or anything else even approaching an applicable crime

so far as I have heard, he hasn’t even been convicted of jaywalking?

We should consider legislation to ban Hawaii from the US.

Section 5
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

(Of course it doesn’t matter when Democrats do it)

Can someone believe the US military has been made so weak that the government can be overthrown by a group of peaceful protesters without any weapons?

Trump was never charged or faced court for insurrection.

- Perhaps because Trump did not encourage individuals to riot and was not physically involved in any riot
- Nor was the gathering which eventually became violent by the actions of a few, an attempt to take over the government (per the definition contemplated by the 14thA)

It was, however, an assembly of citizens who were initially peacefully assembling to protest government action with their right of free speech; an assembly that included a very small number of troublemakers.

I think we should use the 25th Amendment to expel anyone who wants to ban anyone from being on the ballot due to obvious mental deficiencies.

They are trying all different language in these bills to see which one will pass constitutional muster and then use that language in bills in all the states.

“Give them back to Samoa or Tahiti.”

Then what about Pearl Harbor, Hickam Air Force Base, Kaneohe Marine Base,
Schofield Barracks, etc.?

Many people can agree that this had a purpose once for the North to get revenge against enemies in the War Between the States:

Lawmakers drafted Section 3 of the 14th Amendment as a means to block former Confederate officers who were elected to office.

Now, in 2024 it is being used as Banana Republic lawfare against the Democrats’ opponent Donald Trump.

If the Democrats really believed in “democracy” they would allow the voters to freely decide on their own choices in the election and to vote for the candidate they thought was best.

Otherwise the Democrats are hypocrites.

They don’t really believe in democracy and they don’t care that they are hypocrites, because the Democrat media will never call them out.
