NBC News reports a familiar pattern to the latest round of threats – when Trump has a legal setback, officials face threats.

    Track em down and lock em up. They hate America and want to kill anyone who supports our democracy.

    They’re also stupid enough to be terrorists who announce their attacks ahead of time.

    Just some of your classic age-old right wing terrorists who think they’re freedom fighters folks. Perfectly normal behaviour.

      “If they’re able to successfully remove Donald Trump from the ballot, for example, or they’re successfully able to keep engaging in some of the blatant election-fraud type behavior that they’ve done, then, pretty soon you’re not going to be able to resolve your differences through the ballot box,” said Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williams

      These mother fuckers. We decided this at the ballot box through a free and fair election, then they stormed the capitol and tried to throw out the results. Then they have the balls to claim that they’re the ones on the side of fair elections?! Get the fuck outta here.

    Which actually justifies why he should be barred from running for the office. Imagine what these people will do when they actually get in the position of power

      The law is what justifies his disbarment, but yes, they are indeed all domestic terrorists.

        It doesn’t legally justify his disqualification, but it certainly validates the wisdom of the law that does.

    The voters have already decided this issue. That’s why there’s an Amendment. All arguments belong at the Supreme Court, no other place.

      I was reading the ruling out of the Colorado Supreme Court, and the dissent was interesting to me. One of the dissenting judges claimed that the courts shouldn’t be deciding this, and it should be resolved through legislation instead. Legislation… as in the 14th Amendment where we decided this already?

        I don’t think amendments are considered legislation per se. Unless the judge is just ignorant of legal vocabulary.

        It’s a dumb argument, though, and probably made in bad faith. Any statute passed by Congress would either be redundant, or it would likely be a bill of attainder.

    Threats of violence from MAGA extremists who want to gargle Trump’s balls!? That’s weird, these creatures are usually so rational…

    Is there a way to actually thank these justices for doing their job? Seems to me that all these people get is the shit and not much thanks.

      What are you talking about, that’s always been their plan is to ignore the terrorists when it’s their side doing it

      Only for so long as the venn diagram of FBI/CIA:MAGATs continues to have enough overlap that they’re in a position to investigate themselves and their buddies and find they did nothing wrong

    It’s a good thing the NSA is tracking all phone calls! The people making threats have been found and punished. JK, the NSA didn’t do jack shit and the people making the threats are still “unknown”.

    If we let Trump on the ballot they’ll storm Capitol Buildings when he loses. At least now all they do is make phone calls!
