The decision is paused, giving Trump a short period of time to appeal.

Isn’t it insurrection to NOT secure the borders and dutifully enforce and uphold the laws of the United States?

Biden needs to be removed from the ballots immediately.

Looks like they found their friendly judge.

Surprised she didn’t just go on ahead and impose the death penalty.

I’m guessing he isn’t long for this world unless he repents.

“Trump did not get indicted and did not get convicted”

He never was even CHARGED with insurrection, IIRC. How can this judge just pull it out of his ass?

The Dems are trying to keep former Confederate leaders out——assuming that’s what they consider Trump.

We have to hear about Trump’s made up “crimes”. Meanwhile these pigs are stealing the country.
The judge belongs off the bench or under arrest. These are not legal acts just because he’s a “judge”.

“and the Supreme Court will overturn this nonsense 9-0.“

When?? If it was a rat the SC would have Co down 2 hours after those hacks removed them.

Actually, it’s the opposite. They’re trying to keep the INSURRECTIONISTS in.

BS like that is to be ignored. Anyone that complies is complicit. “I was only following orders”.

By the time every state with a Dem leader makes Trump spend money and time defending his presence on the ballots they will have depleted what’s left of his life earnings minus lawfare debits from Carroll (”$83.3 million”) and New York Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron. “$400 million when interest is figured in.”

There you go confusing the Dems with facts.

They always project onto others. “Fundamentally change” the American system of government.

Judge Tracie R. Porter of the State Circuit Court in Cook County. Stooge Porter, a Democrat, said the State Board of Elections had erred in rejecting the DNC's attempt to remove Mr. Trump and said the board “shall remove Donald J. Trump from the ballot for the General Primary Election on March 19, 2024, or cause any votes cast for him to be suppressed.”

In order to preserve Democracy.

that would be a possible strategy in some of these blue states - if it appears Kennedy is polling well enough and Biden is under 50% that if all of the Trump supporters voted for him those particular states, they could deny Biden the electoral votes of these marginal blue states.

Of course...the Democrats could try the same strategy in states that are essential to a Trump victory but it looks like he is going to win with a plurality vs. over 50%.
