It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?
I feel pretty safe in saying that we can now stop giving him the benefit of that particular doubt. His use—twice; once on social media, and then repeated in a speech—of the word “vermin” to describe his political enemies cannot be an accident. That’s an unusual word choice. It’s not a smear that one just grabs out of the air. And it appears in history chiefly in one context, and one context only.
Ummm, no. Where did you come up with that one?
The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution bars him from holding office again, on the grounds that after he swore to uphold the Constitution in his oath of office, he turned around and tried to do a coup. There are ongoing lawsuits to this effect in at least 2 states (Colorado and Michigan), seeking to remove him from the ballot. I don’t hold out much hope that they’ll be successful, but they’re right.
Being “right” doesn’t equal reality. He hasn’t been blocked from running anywhere in the U.S., yet. Certainly won’t be blocked nationally.
What’s right and what happens are two different things. He is officially ineligible. That doesn’t mean he won’t physically be elected.
He is NOT officially ineligible. No one has blocked his candidacy.
This is the same problem as a cross walk. You have the right of way, but the car will kill you. By the time a court rules on it you’ll be dead. What’s right and what’s real are two different things.
And bank robbery isn’t illegal unless you’re prosecuted, right?
The previous person indicated that there is a clause in the constitution that would make him ineligible, not that anything had been done about it.
14th amendment section 3
And? No one has official barred him from running. Just because we hate him, doesn’t mean he’s blocked from running.
Until Congress votes to redeem his candidacy he’s ineligible. It takes the type of reading comprehension that public schools avoid teaching up to.
This is definitely not true. No one has barred his candidacy.
Thank you for being a voice of reason here. seems too many are thinking with their hearts and not their heads. i appreciate that you don’t like the man but can still see the logic in the situation.
What logic?
Is he a Nazi? Yup
Is he a criminal? Yup
Should he be ineligible? Yup.
Is he? Not yet.
He openly supported the J6 coup attempt. He’s ineligible.
Listen. I hate Trump.
But, as of right now, there is NO legal ruling anywhere in the U.S., that has made him ineligible.
You repeatedly saying so, doesn’t make it so.
If you murder someone, have you broken the law? Yes (most likely) . Are you going to jail? Well only if they catch you, and prove it in court.
People above are saying they believe he’s ineligible because of what he did. They’re not saying that all necessary procedures to actually decide and declare him ineligible has been completed. I.e, he should be ineligible based on what he’s done, but he hasn’t yet been made ineligible in practice.
He has in a few states, granted it’s being challenged in court
If Trump was a competent leader there wouldn’t be a system to make such a ruling. It’s by design.
