What us alarming, but not surprising, is that even though the judge found that Trump engaged in insurrection, she chose not to do anything about it. They are all afraid of him, and more afraid of his violent mob. In the end it might just keep him out of prison, and that's all he really cares about.

I’m hoping that the CO Supreme Court sees this failure and corrects it in the appeal. This judge could simply be fearful of retribution, or she may feel more comfortable bumping this up to a panel of judges. In any case, the reasoning she used is questionable.

It's so disheartening to see that NO ONE is stopping this sick violent coward and bully...so sad the state of the country is in bc of these wimps and the Dems are not doing enough nor the DOJ who should have squelched this MAGA Fascist movement...makes me sick

I think all three of the Courts that have spoken on this (CO, MI, MN) are simply wussing out, they don’t want to stick their necks out. As one TV person said, they think that the issue is just “too big” for them.

You can make the argument that the most definite way to deal with TFG is a massive, humiliating trouncing next November. But I’d prefer to not have to rely on it. I hope this issue gets settled before the summer. 🤔😉😊

It’s Wrong in my mind. Trump should not be allowed to run. Period. To rule in his favor is just plain wrong, even if it is a safer option. We are now a nation making judicial decisions out of fear of retaliation? That should NEVER be the situation and to rule for Trump is to cater to threats. I thought the saying went, “We don’t deal with terrorists.” That is exactly what Trump and his minions are!

You speak the truth. I just finished Cassidy Hutchinson’s recounting of what went on in the West Wing during January 6. This is where we’re headed again if we don’t stop him.

I think the Judge in Colorado should have disqualified Donald Trump for starting the insurrection.

And to say he did and then not to have the guts to follow through. If you or I.did what Trump did we would have been in jail and wearing orange 🍊 for the last 3 years.

They saying the law is the law for everyone. I IS not true. If you have 💰 money it can put you above the law.

For all his moronic supporters— WHY CAN’T YOU SEE HIS TRUE (LACK OF) CHARACTER??? WTF is wrong with you? Are you that brainwashed that you will not accept the truth about this dictator-wannabe? There has to be a way to bring you people back to your senses but I for one am stiemied. Any person that has something, anything that could possibly work, we need to hear from you ASAP.

IMHO, there are at least Two paths judges could take regarding the argument of keeping Trump off the ballot for 2024 in light of Amendment 14 Section 3:

1. Rule for the Defendant, Trump, and let the complaintants appeal up through and including SCOTUS.

2. Declare Trump ineligible for candidacy and let the defendant, Trump, appeal to SCOTUS.

Method #1 is safer, with less potential for Trump/MAGA inspired retribution, including violence.

Method #2, OTOH, is bound to set off the hounds, with Hell to pay, for persecuting the Leading GOP Candidate, (by a LOT,) in this brazen, election-interfering Witch Hunt.

If YOU were the judge, which path would You direct the case, knowing SCOTUS is gonna get the final say no matter How the various States chose to rule? Method #1 or #2?

Expand full comment

#1 may be safer, but could one sleep at night after making such a wrong judgement?

Is it "wrong," or merely expedient? SCOTUS may not care How they've been approached with the case. I wanna get it in front of SCOTUS in the least destructive manner I can control.

Method 3. Pop a cap in his ass! LOL. /SS. I gave Him-ler two SS's just for being.

Hope to see you on air tonight, but anyway .. great analysis. Kinda intricate. (A quick note: remember I talked about Inherit the Wind and that it was free on ROCU? Next edition when I figure some other things out, another edition. Seems right after that, TWO DAMN STREAMING "SERVICES" grabbed them and now charge for it. What the hell did I do?

"This combination is more than combustible—it very well could be the recipe for how our democratic Republic ends."

If we let it!

They're all following the coattails of the BOGUS SCOTUS!

I feel that all of these diminutively classed justices (State and Federal robes) have been thoroughly

dry-cleaned and coated with the impermeable "Scotch Guard-ed" mist of the "Royal" protection they "think" they will all receive; if Hannibal Lectern returns to the dictatorial dais he so humbly calls his own!

It's no different than all of the flunky Congressional Maggots that fell in line with Jan 6, when they thought it was a done deal! Now they can't let go, because if (Der Furor) goes down, they all fall like the "dumbinoes" they are. I feel as if they think playing this bi-partisan umpire position until the last minute will give them immunity either way? It's a fools errand, but we're the real fools who stand to lose it all if Biden falls! So my progressive Warriors, VOTE D like your damned lives depend upon it; because it does!

Great piece Deano! KUTGW.

Everyone is scared and I am so tired of it. The domestic terrorists are all from the Confederate Culture. They should never have been forced back into the Union. Free the poor people they held in bondage and cut all the red states loose. Pay them to go. It would be the best money we ever spent. They can take their Senators and Representatives and just go. Put every one of them on a UBI and expel them from our government. Buy them out. We need a two state solution.

Unfortunately it's not that easy. Slavery doesn't work that way. They want ultimate control over us and the U.S.

I'm so burnt out by their hypocrisies, a Civil War sounds good. They're going to lose again, but by an even bigger margin, mainly because we will know what to do once the smoke clears and the dust settles. Codify Democratic Socialism into law via a Constitutional convention and be done with this BS once and forever! Charlie Daniels be damned! Jack Daniels be praised! Salud USA!

WOW! that felt good!! Every once and a while, you have to vent.........LOL.

Ya, I know. And I didn't say it would be easy. It's probably not even possible. It's just how I feel in my twilight years. Salud.

You obviously live in a blue state. Some of us are rooted in blue cities surrounded by a red state. Packing up and moving is not so easy when you’ve lived somewhere for over thirty years. Although a red state has majority red and a blue state is majority blue, there are still hundreds of thousands of people living there who don’t agree with their state’s politics!

"Obviously"? That's insulting. I am sorry you assume I am a selfish hypocrite. I've taught English to teenage refugees from Vietnam, Guatemala, Iran, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Peru, Gaza, Haiti, mainland China, Cambodia and Mexico for 40 years. Moving is never easy but people do it. Heck, I even moved to get away from the Tea Party that took over my home of 30 years in Central California. blue state, red neighborhood. And not because i didn't agree with their politics. It's their morals.

I am not afraid of trump or his maga hordes. They are full of hate which corrodes and defiles them from the inside. We will see a democratic vis=ctory in Nov '24 becaise trump is senile and as rotten as can be. Who in his right mind would purposely destroy the best most advanced and freedom loving country in the world? We are certainly not perfect, but our efforts are to become more so.

Trust the American people who make this country great now.
