Bill passes that would keep Trump off 2020 ballot unless he releases tax returns

[Sergeant Gleed]

Okay.

Let's say Trump doesn't cave in to this Rodent fascism.

Let's say the Rodents keep the GOP candidates off the ballot.

Let's say ...Trump was going to get the electoral college votes of the state stupid enough to keep Seattle...or the state diseased enough to re-elect a Senator KNOW to have solicited underage prostitutes in Puerto Rico and was a tltegular passenger on the Lolita Express?

This will be fun. The hot war has to start somehow...

[Jeb!]

How petty. They can't get him one way, they'll try another....and another....and......

They're scrambling to write unconstitutional laws because they're scared of losing the 2020 election.

[Sergeant Gleed]

Sure they can. States have absolute right to regulate their election processes.

So the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (? ) that was established to end the practice if Democrats disenfranchising blacks was unconstitutional?

[Sergeant Gleed]

They're scrambling to write unconstitutional laws because they're scared of losing the 2020 election.

Nah, they're just trying to make it easier to cheat.

It still doesn't mean they'd win, there'd have to be a Republican candidate they'd have to beat, they wouldn't just win by default.

[Sergeant Gleed]

It still doesn't mean they'd win, there'd have to be a Republican candidate they'd have to beat, they wouldn't just win by default.

The Rodents no longer allow Americans on the Senate ballots in CA, only Rodents.

I had to vote for Camel's Ass for Senate because I could not submit a ballot with filling in either that space or the space for the illegal alien competing for the same office

What is this fascination with his tax returns? They show very little. I’d have to research this statute’s constitutionality.

Seems like a breach of the fourth/fifth amendments to me. The qualifications are listed in the Constitution itself - no mention of tax returns anywhere.

Sent from my evil cell phone.

[Peter1469]

It won't go anywhere. And if you really want to find out about Trump look at the tax returns of his corporations. Not his personal returns.

[midcan5]

Releasing your tax accounts is simply an act of good faith politics. It should be obvious to all that Donnie is not an honest man. Trump snowflakes see in his gaslighting a spokesperson for their grievances, real or imagined. People are so easily led by words from people who appear to share in their biases and prejudices.

Are we seeing the beginning of election trolls?


"What is patriotism? Let us begin with what patriotism is not. It is not patriotic to dodge the draft and to mock war heroes and their families. It is not patriotic to discriminate against active-duty members of the armed forces in one's companies, or to campaign to keep disabled veterans away from one's property. It is not patriotic to compare one's search for sexual partners in New York with the military service in Vietnam that one has dodged. It is not patriotic to avoid paying taxes, especially when American working families do pay. It is not patriotic to ask those working, taxpaying American families to finance one's own presidential campaign, and then to spend their contributions in one's own companies. It is not patriotic to admire foreign dictators. It is not patriotic to cultivate a relationship with Muammar Gaddafi; or to say that Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin are superior leaders. It is not patriotic to call upon Russia to intervene in an American presidential election. It is not patriotic to cite Russian propaganda at rallies."

"Cold, grasping, bleak, graceless, and dull; unctuous, sleek, pitiless, and crass; a pallid vulgarian floating through life on clouds of acrid cologne and trailed by a vanguard of fawning divorce lawyers, the devil is probably eerily similar to Donald Trump—though perhaps just a little nicer." https://www.firstthings.com/web-excl...lee-at-parties

"The trick never ages; the illusion never wears off. Vote to stop abortion; receive a rollback in capital gains taxes. Vote to make our country strong again; receive deindustrialization. Vote to screw those politically correct college professors; receive electricity deregulation. Vote to get government off our backs; receive conglomeration and monopoly everywhere from media to meatpacking. Vote to stand tall against terrorists; receive Social Security privatization. Vote to strike a blow against elitism; receive a social order in which wealth is more concentrated than ever before in our lifetimes, in which workers have been stripped of power and CEOs are rewarded in a manner beyond imagining." Thomas Frank, What's the Matter With Kansas?: How Conservatives Won the Heart of America

When or if this bill becomes Washington St law it will certainly be challenged and most likely head to the SCOUS. I doubt there's enough time, with all the legal wrangling, to keep any Presidential candidate off the states ballot for the upcoming 2020 election. ............ IMO, it won't stand up to constitutional muster.
