First off, Trump has not had a trial yet that declared him guilty.
There are a few interpretations by lawyers that say the way the clause is written, a trial isn't required. However, the outcome of the January 6th committee recommended criminal charges for former President Donald Trump for his role in the Capitol insurrection and released the initial summary of its final report.
Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office 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.
He did not tell them enter and take over. That was the Proud Boys militia...
Trump said "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore." Did that need more explanation/clarification?
I watched this near the beginning, more than a year ago when there was talk about section three of the fourteenth amendment. Hours reading dozens of news stories and three times as many YouTube videos to watch. Many of the comments came from attorneys and retired judges. For the most part, interpretation of the law varies. Initially intended to block post civil war insurrectionists from ever holding government positions. But, opinions are opinions and the conservative leaning Supreme Court may/will be the ultimate deciding factor.
I'm waiting to see what other states if any, will follow Colorado.
Your comment about Clarence Thomas is relevant because the issue of Colorado disqualifying Trump will certainly make it to the Supreme Court.
Already there's talk that Thomas, who should recuse himself, most likely won't. Given that his wife, Ginni was a good part of the involvement in denying the outcome of the 2020 election, she was also a participant in the rally January 6th Capitol attack.
Does more need to be said about it? Me thinks so...
Hold on to your hats... Gas prices hit two-year low in Florida
"Strong domestic gasoline supplies and low oil prices have contributed to the downward pressure on prices at the pump. Oil prices regained some strength last week, so a modest increase is possible at the pump, but AAA expects gas prices to remain low through the holidays."
Roof & structural is covered in the HOA insurance, not homeowners. My association president already shopped that one. Out of my control.
Hurricanes pass within a day. Having windows boarded up isn't an issue. There are other condos surrounding me, so I'm not subjected to the same direct wind forces as the units on the southeast part of the complex. My windows face west, away from 98% of the path of hurricanes that hit this area.
I've been insurance shopping. Citizens is around $3,000 making renewal for $2,000 with Allstate sound like a good deal.
Plumbers and electricians have to be certified/licensed. Unless there's a way around that with 'trainees' doing most of the grunt work and one licensed tradesman certifying the final product. Possible?
I checked radar and the storm was turning like a hurricane. Last night the worst was pushing up the West coast of Florida. This morning, it's moved into Georgia and South Carolina.
Yeah, Donald Trump is good at revealing information via TRUTH. It's his site and he can lie and not be in violation of Terms of Use.
It would appear you support that activity.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. It doesn't matter what evidence comes up about Trump and now Giuliani they're untouchable.
I asked myself, why bother discussing anything with you? I'll answer. No more. I'm done with discussions with you because you are exactly like a robot to not accept anything contrary to your programming.
Comment all you want to my blogs... I'll not respond.
I talked with a good friend who has a keen eye on 'behind the scenes' that news media don't catch. Not long ago Rudy went to Mar-a-Lago begging for Trump's help. Remember? Shortly after Trump held a $100,000 a plate dinner at his world-class Bedminster club.
While Donald J. Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell all claimed to have information to prove the election was rigged, so far nothing has come to light.
My friend believes in fear that Giuliani will flip on Trump, some deals were made and money (for legal fees, etc.) will be coming from Trump sources. Now we all know Trump won't dig into his pocket for the money, it most likely be diverted from campaign funds or other grifter income.
He's appealing anyway, but Rudy may have been persuaded to 'change his tune' in order to fight the defamation suit.
The original version of I'll Stand By You was with Chrissie and The Pretenders. Chrissie Hynde performs it solo live with a symphony version as backup. Her voice kicks it here!
"I learned she's been transferred to an extended care facility now." Assisted living, yes.
"She has a long-time boyfriend who owns a condo on the other side of the development"
They are both in their late 80's. For the most part, he is able to get around on his own. I did see him using a walker from time to time.
As long as I've known her, (going on 4 years) she never had independence. He drove her everywhere. Maybe a few months in the beginning, I recall she was using a walker. She fell a few times, was hospitalized a few times and after that, it's always in a wheelchair.
From conversations, he claimed to have done well in business and worked part-time at a golfing pro shop to stay busy. After COVID, the owner decided to close his business.
I'm sure he's gone back to his place. The handyman probably finished and the owner hasn't been around this week. The lockbox is on the door, so it's a matter of time before there's new life in an old condo.
Billy Preston had an amazing musical career having recorded with the Beatles. He's gone now and so is his duet partner Syreeta Wright. They appeared many times in live performances.
My college counselor said that Graphic Arts was a dying field and told me to switch to Engineering and follow my brothers footsteps. He was so wrong... I'm sorry I listened.
I first heard this song about 15 years ago and I believe it was created by college music & arts students in China. Originally written and recorded by Michael Wong. The girlfriend dies of leukemia in his video. I prefer this version where she goes through chemotherapy and lives.
For years I chased this video, but all my YouTube searches brought up many covers, some good and some not so good.
The 2 Chinese characters is pronounced Tong Hua (tónghuà) and translates to fairy tale.
