I can’t wait for the megathread when he fucking dies. Hopefully, after a few years in a supermax.

God I love getting the chance to post this image...

In other news, Colorado confirmed most patriotic state in the union.

If a few more states follow suit, even if they are "safe blue" states, the GOP will have no choice but to drop Trump and pick up the next best candidate. Winning local elections is way more important for Republican-aligned agendas to continue forward, but if people won't turn out because Trump is off the ballot, it'll be a blue wave of lower offices flipping. They'll need to work fast to push the "Trump Bad, X Good" where X is whatever conservative sock puppet they prop up to take his place in hopes of saving their chances at maintaining a multi-state hegemony on state congressional seats.

They're calling it an "unprecedented decision", but I like to think of it as a "precedent-setting decision".

Surely this will be challenged, and I'm not optimistic about the federal Supreme Court maintaining the same decision, but, fuck, would that be nice.

it would be “nonsensical to imagine the framers of the amendment, fearful of former Confederates returning to power, would bar them from low-level offices but not the highest one in the land” - commented the lawyer

Good job, Colorado.

Y'all should smoke a big fat bowl tonight to celebrate.

The US Supreme Court will surely overturn this. Not because the Colorado Supreme Court was wrong, but because the US Supreme Court is crooked.

Big shoutout to Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold for making this happen.

Recently I watched "The Man in the High Castle" and had a good laugh at the stupid story. Like Germany would have ever been able to conquer the US and put it under Fascism rule. No. When America goes fascist it will do so out of its own choice, by its own politicians, elected by their own population. Like my grandpa once said:

*"The proletariat is so stupid that they vote their own executioner into power just for the vague hope of seeing their hated neighbour in front of them in the queue for the gallows."

"Das Proletariat ist so verblödet dass sie ihren eigenen Henker an die Macht wählen nur aus der vagen Hoffnung zu sehen wie ihr verhaßter Nachbar vor ihnen in der Schlange vorm Galgen steht."*

Please, remain alert. Even if he gets disqualified by the Supreme court next, he's likely to try Jan. 6 Part two: Orange Boogaloo. There's enough armed psychoes to vouch for him even if it's meaningless. I feel like every major institution needs to double their security in case something like that happens. Like any lifetime loser, this idiot just can't lose, especially having a slight chance to escape responsibility for his ongoing trials.

How is it surprising or an open legal question when it has been thoroughly proved and stated in countless ways that he betrayed his position several times? Wtf? You have proof that he is dangerous and anti democratic? Wtf?

Fucking finally. That one Colorado judge didn't have the courage to do it (and I understand why), and I'm glad this panel did. I hope they got personal protection, because Trump is effectively a mob boss.

way way way too long for this to happen and way way way too long to put him in jail. This system is fucked

How do I upvote twice?

Why are people complaining that Colorado is blue so it doesn't matter that someone FINALLY upheld the Constitution?

I appreciate that a state is working on this now even though he's not the nominee yet. It's an open legal question and it needs to be determined to truly give Republican voters the chance to decide who their nominee should be. If he's going to be disqualified it should be now.

In a stunning and unprecedented decision

Unprecedented?? Have these people heard of the civil war?

Anywhere in Colorado use paper and pencil anymore? I’m picturing election day when his supporters are so pissed he’s not on the ballot that they write his name in themselves and cast an invalid vote and burn remaining GOP candidates in a blue wave.

about time someone said, fuck that guy. wtg CO

So this, if it stands, keeps him off the Prinary ballot.

Hypothetically does it also keep him off the ballot in the General? Or does that need a new ruling?

All the Trump cultists are calling this election interference, when he literally didn't have to do an insurrection.

So does this mean Bobart might lose since the upballot is gone?
