States can ban insurgents from state office. Not federal office and especially not the president.

The decision is faulty. States cannot pull off candidates for a federal election? Then who can? The federal government and the supreme court certainly can't. Only the states can run elections.

Well, they all agreed. Everybody got their itch scratched.

I guess that does it for state's rights then.

The states still have the right to print ballots. They can also refuse to certify their electors if too many went to Biden.

Bad news for Trump trying to shoot someone on 5th Avenue.

Former President Donald Trump warned of a possibly "terrible" ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court regarding his claims of presidential immunity.

While speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago residence following Monday's Supreme Court ruling upholding his ballot eligibility, Trump spoke about an upcoming hearing involving his claims of presidential immunity relating to the January 6 riots at the Capitol.

"I'm fairly confident that the court will hold that Trump is not immune from claims that he attempted to interfere with the election process for personal gain, or took classified government documents while leaving office," Germain told Newsweek. "So other than causing some delay, I would expect a thoughtful decision from the Supreme Court allowing the prosecutions to proceed."

JoJo:
Ted Cruz supported Trump despite him calling his wife ugly.

Mitch McConnell has endorsed Trump despite him calling his “China-loving wife”… “Coco Chow.”

These feckless fuckers can’t even stand up for their wives, is it any wonder they’ve never stood up for their country.

From there

In the United States, the practically certain presidential candidate of the Republicans, Donald Trump, is struggling with money worries, which is why he met with one of the richest men in the world, Elon Musk , in Florida last Sunday.

The newspaper New York Times (NYT) tells about it based on three sources who know about the meeting. In addition to Trump and Musk, the meeting was attended by a few wealthy individuals who donate money to Republicans.

Trump hopes to include Musk as one of his donors, who in recent years has moved closer to the Republicans in terms of his political views.

According to NYT's source, Trump has praised Musk to his close circle and hopes to be able to negotiate with Musk privately again in the near future.

Musk quickly denied any plans to donate money to Trump's campaign.

- I will not donate money to either of the US presidential candidates, Musk wrote on the messaging service X today, Wednesday.

However, Musk did not specify whether he could donate money to fundraising groups supporting the candidates.

Musk has not donated money to Trump's previous presidential campaigns and has said he voted for the Democratic nominee in the 2016 and 2020 elections.

Musk has donated small amounts of money relative to his fortune in the past to both Democratic and Republican politicians.

In the past two years, however, Musk has turned into a harsh critic of the Democratic Party.

In the 2022 midterm elections, Musk urged his followers to vote for Republican candidates, and according to sources who spoke to the NYT, Musk now considers it very important that Biden lose this year's election.

According to a source in Musk's inner circle who spoke to NYT, Trump's strict border policy is an important reason why Musk is considering supporting Trump.

- America will collapse if it tries to absorb the whole world, Musk wrote in X yesterday Tuesday.

Musk also wrote yesterday that the border policy of the Biden administration has been worthy of "treason".

Trump's campaign money is also eaten up by his legal expenses. Already last year, fund-raising groups supporting Trump spent around 45 million euros on Trump's legal expenses. This year, legal costs will increase significantly if the criminal trials awaiting Trump get started.

The net worth of Elon Musk, who is the CEO of the car company Tesla and the space company Space X, is about 180 billion euros, so even a small part of his wealth as a donation to Trump would fundamentally change the settings of fundraising for election campaigns.

The US will collapse because the border was mismanaged?

It’s just hubris, all . the . way . down. He’s hardly the only one, but he’s got the money…again, wake-up, do less.
