holy shit man, you're fucking right
The clause states that "no person shall be a senator or representative in Congress, or elector of president and vice president, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
"Trump is disqualified from holding any public office, including the office of the president, under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment."

Heh.
14th ammendment wasn't originally an ammendment.

Therefore it's up for interpretation.

Therefore, he's eligible.

Oh, and he actually gets to combine all of his 2016 & 2020 votes with any votes cast in 2024. So he's ahead by like, a yuge amount.

So says the court!

When it would benefit the Republicans, this court has and will continue to interpret the 14th Amendment based upon what they think the original drafters thought.

It's too bad Vivek can't win because this approach really resonates with red team folks who don't want Trump but will refuse to vote for Biden on partisan grounds.

When I say "this court," I am referring to the Alito Court.

Chris Christie should be going on an aggressive pharmaceutical weight loss pill regimen

if he wasn’t morbidly obese he would likely poll much better

he should be sprinkling pills on his ice cream like m&m’s

But when’s is the last time you heard a presidential candidate actually answer the asked question? Vivek would shred Biden or Puddin’ fingies on stage.

The Blue team better swap to Gavin 'Your husband stay home tonight?' Newsom soon, this dude is on fire and the others on the red team will learn.
