This Is Dangerous!
Trump lawyers warn Supreme Court of ‘chaos and bedlam’ if states are allowed to bar him from 2024 ballot
This is embarrassing to the State of Missouri:
GOP Secretary of State Melts Down When Asked To Explain Bid to Throw Biden Off Ballot
I wrote a long THREADS reply:

I will share that here
Let me explain this to you on MAGA grade level. Several Constitutional items impact who can be on a ballot for POTUS. I know this from trying that in 2016. Let’s start with Article II
“No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.”
I was born in Alabama. I was born in 1960. I have lived all but 3 years in the United States. CHECK!
Now let’s go to the 22nd Amendment.
“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.”
Can’t be president more than two terms – I am good on this.
Now the 14th Amendment
“Section 3
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
Doesn’t apply to me. Does apply to Donald Trump.
One more hurdle – ballot access – 10th Amendment
States determine their ballot access laws. I live in Tennessee, the easiest state in the country to get on the ballot as an independent candidate for POTUS. 11 electors. 9 US Congress districts, 2 at Large. 275 petitions signatures of registered voters. My 11 electors checked out – I drove from Bristol to Memphis, Clarksville to Chattanooga.
365 signatures. Should have been more than enough. The nice man that runs elections for Tennessee told me it wasn’t enough. I told him these were 365 of my friends. No door to door. No standing in front of a store. Friends. He said “not enough”. He was right. 263 were registered voters. 102 of my friends lied to me. Guess what! Tennessee tells me I can not be on the ballot. I was a write in candidate.
I was a write-in candidate in several states. West Virginia posted my name on the wall in every voting precinct. No one is PUNISHING Trump. It is called QUALIFICATIONS. Are you qualified to fly an commercial airplane? A charter bus? Practice Law? Medicine? Architecture? Understand Now? Old enough to drive? To vote? Buy a beer?
Everything you need to know about Trump and the 14th Amendment
“It’s ok to feel confused. It’s confusing. But we’ve got you covered.”
History of the 14th Amendment
George Conway Warns Donald Trump Faces Key Problem at Supreme Court
“”And that’s the problem that Donald Trump has here is that the words are very simple and very clear, and in fact, they are clearer than other provisions of the 14th Amendment … Section III is rather narrow. It’s not hard to know what an insurrection is. It’s not hard to define an insurrection and not many people engage in insurrection. So, it’s really not a difficult, difficult provision to understand or to enforce.””
Former federal judge: Trump’s violation of 14th Amendment ‘couldn’t be any clearer’
“Former federal judge Michael Luttig argued Saturday that former President Trump’s violation of the 14th Amendment “couldn’t be any clearer.”
“Section 3 of the 14th Amendment simply could not be any clearer that the former president is disqualified from the presidency as the Colorado Supreme Court held,” Luttig told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi on Saturday, the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.”
The 14th Amendment plan to disqualify Trump, explained
“A longshot legal bid in multiple US states to disqualify Donald Trump from the 2024 US presidential ballot has led to him being kicked off the ballot in Colorado and Maine.“
The Supreme Court arguments for (and against) removing Trump from the ballot, explained
“The Constitution has a right to defend itself, but Trump also has a right to due process.”
Boo-Boo in Nevada!
Trump cannot legally qualify for Nevada’s 2024 primary ballot
“The Supreme Court may consider if states can disqualify Trump from their primaries. No matter how justices rule, it will not alter the Silver State’s election.
When Nevada’s Republican voters receive their sample ballots for the state’s presidential preference primary this month, the name of the party’s current frontrunner will be missing.
His absence has nothing to do with any legal challenges to former president Donald Trump’s eligibility to participate in the state’s primary. Nevada’s Supreme Court, unlike Colorado’s, was never given the opportunity to rule on whether Trump’s behavior during and immediately following the 2020 election violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which forbids those who commit insurrection from being eligible for elected office. Similarly, Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar, a Democrat, didn’t have the opportunity his colleague in Maine had to weigh in on the question himself.
No, Trump is ineligible for Nevada’s primary ballot because Trump’s campaign didn’t fill out an application to place him on Nevada’s primary ballot.
As hilarious as it would have been if this was the product of a paperwork snafu committed by an incompetently run campaign, Trump’s absence from Nevada’s primary ballot was wholly intentional. They merely followed the directions provided to them by a truly incompetently run organization — the Nevada GOP, which decided the same primary election process that’s been used to select every other non-presidential Republican candidate, including our current governor, in the state for decades is still not good enough for presidential candidates in 2024. In case anyone didn’t get the memo, the state party warned presidential campaigns that if it saw their candidates’ names on the primary ballot, those candidates would be ineligible to participate in and receive delegates from the caucus.”
Trump had a plan
Mark Levin told us what the plan was
The GOP is trying to whitewash the plan
Trump pushed the Big Lie
The Big Lie caused January 6 to happen
Trump 2.0 is still pushing the Big Lie and he is a danger to democracy
2024 will determine our country’s future
I tried to warn everyone on 2016
