Problem with belief is, it’s like religion. Until someone actually comes forward and presents real evidence in a court room. There is no argument to be made. It’s just a mob of voices arguing over the comments and opinions emanating from their favorite internet or TV echo chamber.

Agreed. I'm just finding evidence follows the democratic argument to a higher degree.

Like I said earlier opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one. What you’re finding are someone else’s opinions which confirms your own bias. Evidence, is what courts require and so far nobody has provided jack squat to even file charges. You are currently engaged in a pointless circle jerk, you posting links to opinions you agree with and someone else posting links to opinions they agree with. It’s an utter waste of bandwidth and energy which goes no where.

Don’t despair, as I suggested earlier you don’t have to wait for the DOJ. There is absolutely nothing preventing you or your democrat sources from making a citizens arrest and presenting your evidence to the court, THE WORLD AWAITS, GO FOR IT.

In the meantime it appears our borders are being overrun, major metropolitan areas are being ransacked, unabated government spending, the FED injecting more and more currency, our nation is going deeper and deeper in debt, inflation is rising, tent cities, congress is accused of insider trading, and there is another war in Eastern Europe which threatens our global hegemony lead by feeble old men still in office.

Section 3 was put in the 14th to prevent former Confederate leaders from being seated in Congress, The Enforcement Act of 1870, provided the means to do that.
However that act was repealed in 1948. They did leave the law on the books (18 U.S.C. sec 2383).

So if you want to use section 3 of the 14th Amendment to prevent Trump from running for office, you need to CHARGE AND CONVICT him. And until you do that, any discussion on using it the way you want to, is moot.

The following case outlines the precedent for what you're attempting to do.

Berger V. United States

Berger was prevented from joining the House of Representatives due to a conviction for violation of the Espionage Act. As soon as the Supreme Court overturned that conviction, Berger was then elected to 3 successive terms as a congressman.

There will be no charges filed, there will be no evidence presented to gain a conviction. After eight long years of spectacle no evidence, formal charges, no defense, no judge or jury required. The people now believe the media is the judge, editorials are the evidence and the mob is the jury.

A mob now so stirred up that party officials can just arbitrarily take a name off the ballot because they have the approval of the mob of kool-aid drinkin card carrying believers. The irony is those same believers think they’re the ones saving democracy.

What We Must Believe To Believe Biden Is Innocent

https://spectator.org/what-we-must-b...n-is-innocent/

Quote:

In order to believe that Biden is innocent of taking bribes for favorable foreign policy decisions, we must ignore his own words, his son’s text messages and emails, all the “spontaneous” meetings, all the whistleblowers and witnesses, and the need for more than 20 shell companies to launder and distribute loot among family members who have no demonstrable skills. Finally, we must believe that $20 million — and probably much more — has been lavished on all of these people except the only one possessed of the power to make it rain.

There will be no impeachment until there is actual evidence. McCarthy does not have the votes to get it even out of the House, let alone through the Senate.

But that is not what matters is it? Impeachments are not legal matters but political exercises. There is no jury but two groups of politicians who at times would let off a serial child killer if it suited their political leanings. What does matter though, when it comes to politicians and corruption is the court of public opinion.

I'm betting that $leepy Joe would go down as our riche$t President EVER if we knew everything. He'd even have bragging rights to this over President Trump if we knew everything. :03:

US national debt hits $33T for first time in history
US federal debt hits 'dangerous' new milestone: $33 trillion



https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/...t-time-history

Quote:

The national debt – which measures what the U.S. owes its creditors — hit $33.04 trillion as of Monday afternoon, according to new data published by the Treasury Department. By comparison, just four decades ago, the national debt hovered around $907 billion.

"The United States has hit a new milestone that no one will be proud of: our gross national debt just surpassed $33 trillion," said Maya MacGuineas, the president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. "Debt held by the public, meanwhile, recently surpassed $26 trillion. We are becoming numb to these huge numbers, but it doesn’t make them any less dangerous."
PUBLIC DEBT. MEANS THEY SPEND IT AND YOU OWE IT. :salute:

This clip, title, and description were not created by C-SPAN.
Now, for those for whom actual details really mater, not just a suspect video title, here is a FactCheck.org posting clarifying what is actually known about this so-called "admission" of a "quid pro quo":


Trump Revives False Narrative on Biden and Ukraine -

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/10/tr...n-and-ukraine/


Note that the article was originally posted way back in October, 2020, two whole years ago and was updated just this past August,2023; the update is also particularly interesting since it addressees the particularly Far-Right GOP bugaboo about their allegations the Ukrainian prosecutor, who was ousted allegedly due to Biden's influence, was actually a crusader against corruption who was ousted for wanting to indict Burisma and, by extension, Hunter Biden; however, the details (pesky little things they are for the Far-Right GOP) speak otherwise...

Ah, those pesky little details again...

Misleading Online Posts Distort Biden’s Joke at Meeting with Indian Prime Minister -

https://www.factcheck.org/2023/06/mi...rime-minister/



Yes, his words, but it does make for better credibility if you use all of his words and not just cherypick, falsely edit, or distort without context...


But, then, without cheerypicking, false editing, and distortion without context, what would the Far-Right, the Trupettes, and Fox News, etc., have left to butress their false wall of moral indignation and deceit...?... :hmmm: :03:
