The Sunshine State governor made a similar comment recently when he warned that Maine’s ruling disqualifying Trump ‘opens up Pandora’s box’
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has revealed that he’s “looking” into ways to block President Joe Biden from the 2024 primary ballot in Florida.
“This is just going to be a tit for tat and it’s just not gonna end well,” the GOP presidential candidate warned Friday alongside Rep. Chip Roy, R-TX, according to a video posted by CNN. “You could make a case — I’m actually looking at this in Florida now [if we] could we make a credible case” to block Biden from the ballot “because of the invasion of 8 million.”

Go on then. This should be good. 🍿
god this is going to be such a stupid year
No, it’s gonna be a stupid decade or even longer. And it’s already been going on for a while. Thats what you get when for years you ignore a dysfunctional education system and promote idiotism. It doesn’t vanish over night and finds its way into public discord. Then it’s years of not strong enough responses to totalitarian practices and you get another fascist italy or nazi germany.
Trump tried to overthrow the government and he is still allowed to run for president. Im just hoping the title of a history book chapter describing this will not be “causes for 3rd world war”, but I’m not optimistic.
We’re already in ww3
Nope, we’re still deep in proxy war territory. Why ruin your economy when you can turn a foreign country to rubble to project power?
Proxy Wars now, Climate Wars on deck.
again
I honestly expect this year’s stupidity to trump all previous ones
pun intended?
How many years do we have to keep hunter’s laptop and Biden bad. Find the evidence or stfu.
They will never stfu. The lack of evidence is just further proof of a giant conspiracy to these folks.
I liked it a lot better when the conspiracy theory nutjobs treated the x-files as a documentary and were convinced the government was hiding evidence aliens were among us.
This “we’re gonna remove Biden from the ballot” thing is the most elaborate masturbating contest between the GOP, man.
Collective masturbation of the GOP… almost a circle, even.
do it then. if you’ve got some way to do it, do it. otherwise shut up.
Narrator: “He couldn’t.”
Slander incoming in 5… 4… 3…
Everyone keeps forgetting about the part of the constitution that bars you from holding office if you are a Democrat.
Hey hey guys wait maybe he’s got a point…
…Let’s remove ALL of them from the ballot and purge all the old money from politics to find candidates that actually represent the people of their nation. 🤔
If only we could then dump that campaign money into schools and a national train system…
I get the sentiment, but using the Justice Department to illegally remove a political candidate who hasn’t broken the law (talking about Biden here)!? Yeah, there’s no way that gets abused…
Seriously. I’m fine with not having an 80 year old run this country when any other time they wouldn’t even be considered for a job.
Honestly. Republicans are nothing but a bunch of children.
Seriously. American politics is nothing but embarrassment upon embarrassment upon embarrassment. world shaking head
Land of the “free” Home of the “brave”
It just struck me who he reminds me of. Bizarre insecurity about an appendage, oddly repetitive and mundane conversationalist, trouble for kids. DeSantis is uncle jack.
But like…that’s the thing. They have to look for a credible case to remove their political opponents. In contrast, the reason to remove Trump is self-evident, even to Republicans.
Everything Republicans do is retaliation for things Trump has done to himself. There are 0 credible reasons to remove Biden from ANY state ballot, but they’ll try to find a way regardless.
Then they will be sued, and they will lose. Unlike the GOP, the Democrats have really good lawyers.
More importantly, the Democrats also have better arguments and facts (at least in this case).
That’s because GOP lawyers are too busy advocating for the death penalty for homosexuals in Africa
What’s more, if they are going to remove Biden for failing to prevent illegal immigration (despite actually having significantly higher arrest and deportation numbers under Biden than Trump), then they should reasonable have to remove Trump as well… given, you know, the whole insurrection thing. To not do so would imply that the supposed failure of a president to sufficiently address one very complicated issue (even though he’s better than Trump on this issue by their own metrics) is worse than attempting to coerce officials into “finding” votes for him, conspiring to produce fraudulent electors, lying and defaming for months about supposed fraud that had no basis in fact, and, of course, inciting an insurrection on the capital building.
And they won’t give Biden the money to fix a border crisis because they know it will help his approval numbers leading up to the election.

Conservatives think any consequences they have is retaliation.
So they don’t see the difference in this.
It’s just the lack of empathy, if they do something illegal, they assume everyone else does it too so it’s fine. If they get in trouble, it’s obviously not fair because in their head they’re being singled out.
God can you imagine Biden saying, “it’s not persecution you dumb fuck, it’s consequences for your actions!”
Nope.
And that’s the problem. Biden would never say it because he thinks there’s still a bipartisan future.
I’d rather our Presidents weakness be “hope for a return to normalcy” than “Putin’s hot gooey load”.
Yep. If there was a credible case, it would already be motoring through the court.
“Looking for an excuse” is not the same as “Acknowledging undisputed facts.”
Nobody on the right is even pretending Trump didn’t try to prevent Congress from certifying the election by sending illegitimate electors and sending a mob to storm the the Capitol.
If Biden had engaged in insurrection, I’d want him out. If there was proof of an impeachable offense, I’d support that as well.
That’s the thing. Most people on the left are arguing in good faith. It’s just that it’s the GOP committing the crimes right now.

Obama isn’t eligible to run for President because he already served 2 terms. It doesn’t need to go to court - he’s automatically disqualified. Same thing applies to insurrection, which is why convictions were not required after the Civil War to bar Confederates from holding office.

And if Obama tried to run, he’d be rightfully barred from the ballot until he could prove his legal theory on why the law doesn’t apply to him.
Same thing for Trump.
With Biden there’s no existing law barring him from running. He hasn’t taken part in an insurrection or served 2 terms. He isn’t under 35 and isn’t foreign-born. There’s literally no constitutional justification for keeping him off the ballot.
With Trump there is.

Many laws are self-executing without the need for a conviction.
If you get drunk, you’re not allowed to drive just because you haven’t been convicted of having consumed alcohol. By being drunk you’re automatically barred from driving, and it’s 100% legal and proper for the state to prevent you from driving before you get behind the wheel.
A firearm salesman can’t sell a weapon to someone if they know they smoke weed, even if there’s never been a drug conviction. In fact, the salesman can be arrested for knowingly selling to a drug user even if there’s no proof of drug use.
A tradesman can lose their state license for without ever having the police or the courts involved if they perform dangerous work or work knowingly without permits.
An attorney can be prohibited from practicing law without having been convicted or even being charged with any crimes.
And an act of insurrection automatically disqualifies someone from being an officer of the United States. It’s self-executing and always has been in both the language of the law and in actual use.

Colorado Judge ruled Trump committed insurrection. That’s as much due process as is needed. He’s been found guilty.

Good luck with that.
