How the hell can one person block half the folks in her state from voting for a candidate of their choice. State supreme courts were bad enough, but now a secretary of state is blocking an opposition candidate. This is fucked.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine's Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state's presidential primary ballot under the Constitution's insurrection clause, becoming the first election official to take action unilaterally as the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to decide whether Trump remains eligible to return to the White House.

The Trump campaign said it would appeal Bellows' decision to Maine's state courts, and Bellows suspended her ruling until that court system rules on the case. In the end, it is likely that the nation's highest court will have the final say on whether Trump appears on the ballot in Maine and in the other states.

With the Colorado Republican Party's appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to keep former president and current GOP front-runner Donald Trump on the state's primary ballot, President Trump is near certain to stay on the ballot.

The Colorado Secretary of State's office, which oversees elections in the state, said that "Donald Trump will be included as a candidate on Colorado's 2024 Presidential Primary Ballot when certification occurs on January 5, 2024, unless the U.S. Supreme Court declines to take the case or otherwise affirms the Colorado Supreme Court ruling."

It's the same situation on Maine. Trump stays on the ballot, unless courts rule otherwise.

Look...they shoulda gotten ridda Joe Biden already!

If the Democrats wanna look respectable and not destroy their credibility, just give Biden da boot and replace him with somebody much younger like that Dean Phillips guy from Minnesota.

Actually Biden can sometimes be smart & he does make some good moves...but he's simply too old to be president of the United States. Too slow on his feet.

Sorry Biden Joe...but it's time ta go

Jim Crow Joe and totalitarian progs wants other candidates besides Trump not on the ballot.

All this taking Trump off the ballot stuff is nothing more than trash talk. They know it will never stand up in court but they push it anyway just to get it in the news to try and make him look bad. Democrats are terrified of Trump because they know there's no way they can beat him on a fair and level playing field.

It's not that Trump is a terrific unbeatable candidate. It's that Biden is hated by the middle class. For a good many reasons too.

A Republican state representative in Maine is pursuing the impeachment of Secretary of State Shenna Bellows for her ruling this week disqualifying Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot.

Rep. John Andrews filed a request to the Maine Revisor's Office seeking to officially impeach Bellows because she is "barring an American citizen and [the] 45th President of the United States, who is convicted of no crime or impeachment, their right to appear on a Maine Republican Party ballot in March."

He stated that Trump has met all the qualifications necessary to launch a presidential bid.

"Hyper-partisanship is on full display" in Bellows' decision, Andrews said in a statement on social media. "Banana Republic isn't just a store at the mall."

It only makes Trump appear more persecuted and more popular.

How anyone could believe a bunch of idiots wandering around the capitol aimlessly for a few hours constitutes an insurrection with both the intent and ABILITY to prevent the peaceful transfer of power defies basic common sense and intelligence


if the US transfer of power could be so easily thwarted we have bigger problem than the orange man and his mean tweets

That is true about East Asians. However, they were masking in East Asian countries during flu season long before Fauci created COVID in a lab.
