These filthy people have absolutely no respect for the rule of law and the American people. We are at war but we just don’t know it, I hope we aren’t surprised.

COOK COUNTY (WLS) — A Cook County judge has ordered the Illinois Board of Elections to remove Donald Trump from ballots statewide for the March 19 primary.

How can a County judge have jurisdiction over a Presidential election?

Trump has not been charged with nor has he been found guilty of insurrection.


No, and that’s why dems have latched onto the 14th Amendment route. It requires neither charging nor conviction of ‘insurrection’. To my knowledge no Confederate official was ever charged or convicted of insurrection but they were still banned from office.

The judge has decided that January 6 constituted an insurrection and that Trump was a part of it. Now how Trump could be or was involved in an insurrection against a government that he led requires a twist in logic that I cannot understand. But then the same dems say that men can give birth.

We are not living in ‘interesting times’ but rather bizarre times.

Another example of idiot/lying/corrupt judges.

Another one that needs a visit by a baseball bat.

G’D the stupid supreme court for not immediately ordering an end to this F’n nonsense. Federal elections are the business of the federal govt through their elected reps in Congress. State judges don’t get to decide what candidates can run for national elections.

Damn The SC for letting this go on so long.

No, deny Biden any chance of a majority in the Electoral College which could result in a contingent election for POTUS in the U.S. House of Representatives. Trump won't win Illinois, so just deny it to Biden. The House elections, electing Reps pledged to Trump in that case is important insurance. RINOs who won't pledge to vote for Trump in that case, must be primaryed.

The Illinois challenge was filed by a group of voters in coordination with Free Speech For People, a legal advocacy group that previously tried, but failed, to remove Trump from the ballot in Michigan, Minnesota and Oregon.

O, the irony!
