Maine Decides to Remove Donald Trump from Its Primary Ballot


Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has decided to remove Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot, making Maine the second state in the country to block the former president from running again under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution that prevents insurrectionists from holding office.  This, along with the Colorado decision, has left the Republican Party furious, and they vow to take the case all the way to the US Supreme Court.

Gee, kind of funny how MAGAs love the 2nd Amendment, but hate the 14th.  They say using the 14th Amendment to disqualify Trump from appearing on the ballot is a direct “Attack on Democracy.”  I mean, if poor Republicans can’t run candidates who’ve attempted to violently overthrow the government of the United States and invalidate a national election so they can remain in power, then who are they supposed to run?  Friggin’ RINOs?  They claim this whole situation reeks of election interference, and I fully understand how someone could feel that way - assuming their formal education didn’t go past the 2nd grade.

Meanwhile, many angry Republican politicians are shouting just how wrong it is to disqualify Donald Trump from the ballot, pointing out that “We should let the voters decide.”  Gee, it's rather interesting how the Trump cult is suddenly so enamored by the notion that “voters” should decide elections.  Why sure they believe “its voters who should decide."  That is, unless those voters happen to “decide” against Republicans when casting their votes - in which case they’ll storm the Capitol.

The irony is if those ultra-right extremist Trump SCOTUS appointees stay true to their claim about being “strict constitutionalists” and take a literal reading of the 14th amendment, even THEY will suddenly find themselves in immediate need of armed security protection from Trump’s rabid MAGA base.  Hey, MAGAs!  I have an idea.  If you really don’t want your candidates to be kicked off ballots, how about telling them not to sic their rabid mobs on the Capitol to try and prevent electoral votes from being counted?  Meanwhile, as for me - well, I’m finding myself in kind of a “Maine state of mind.”

Trump Demands Constitution Be Set Aside and He Be Reinstated as President

Reacting to a Twitter post from Elon Musk who claimed Democrats violated the 1st Amendment by collaborating with big tech (Twitter), to remove tweets that featured pornographic photos of Hunter Biden during the 2020 election,” former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to demand that the United States Constitution be set aside and that he be reinstated as president.   Trump further claimed that "A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.   Our great 'Founders' did not want, and would not condone False & Fraudulent Elections!” Now, let me get this straight, Trump wants the US Constitution to be suspended - because Twitter refused to publish photos of “Hunter Biden's junk” during that last presidential election?  The thing is Elon, Democrats weren’t even in power in 2020 - Trump was, which would make it a bit difficult for them to violate the...

Anti-Vax Newsmax Host Says Diseases are Supposed to Kill People

Conservative network Newsmax has been forced to “distance itself” from remarks uttered by host Rob Schmitt this week, who claimed that vaccines go "against nature" because diseases are "supposed to wipe out a certain amount of people,” and that vaccinations “unnaturally interfere with viruses' designs on killing people.” Wow, kinda looks like the “Schmitt” has really hit the fan over at Newsmax.  So, they want to “distance” themselves from Schmitt’s remarks, do they?  Gee, makes you wonder if the morons who run Newsmax know they actually have the option not hire anti-science nitwits like Schmitt as anchors in the first place?  Not to worry though, should Schmitt get fired, I'm sure folks like Kevin McCarthy or Rand Paul would warmly welcome him to become part of their staffs. Of course, the truth is, what Schmitt is really promoting is “Social Darwinism.”  Given that, I assume by the same logic he applies to vaccines, one may conclude that by warning people ...

2020 GOP Senate Nominee Claims the Equality Act Will ‘Illegalize’ Jesus Christ

The Equality Ac t is a bill before the United States Congress, that would simply prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, education, federally funded programs, etc.   It doesn’t dictate what churches or religious people must believe, but that hasn’t stopped right-wing, QAnon, and flat Earth activist Lauren Witzke - the GOP’s failed 2020 Senate candidate from Delaware - from going on Alan Jones’ InfoWars and claiming that the bill will “illegalize Jesus Christ” and “categorize the Scripture as hate speech.” Well, given her stance on immigrants, I can’t imagine why she’d ever object to anyone “trying to illegalize Jesus Christ.”  I mean, by her standards - isn’t Jesus basically just another “illegal immigrant” from the Middle East?  So, what’s the problem?  Why, if you don’t believe me, then try telling some border patrol agent “but, but, I’m the son of God” - and see how far ...
