Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

President Biden when asked about his age: "First, you have to look at the other guy. He’s about as old as me, but he can't even remember his wife's name. It's also about how old your ideas are. He wants to take us back 60 years. It's about the future."

Trump says he sabotaged the bipartisan deal to secure the border because “it made it much better for the opposing side”

What? Why?!

BREAKING: The Biden administration is ending bank overdraft fees as we know them.

Under a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule, overdraft fees at large banks will be strictly regulated and capped as low as $3. Low-income Americans will save billions.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: A new Biden administration rule would institute a $3 cap on overdraft fees.

These fees generate billions of annual revenue for banks, while pushing low-income people deeper into debt.

The CFPB is stopping their predatory scheme.

Speaker Johnson just pulled a McCarthy and teamed up with Dems to keep the government going

Jeffries: How dare you come to the house floor to lecture America about healthy women, healthy baby, healthy children, when you're doing everything in your power to do exactly the opposite.

[Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social @TrumpDailyPosts]

A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MUST HAVE FULL IMMUNITY, WITHOUT WHICH IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM/HER TO PROPERLY FUNCTION. ANY MISTAKE, EVEN IF WELL INTENDED, WOULD BE MET WITH ALMOST CERTAIN INDICTMENT BY THE OPPOSING PARTY AT TERM END. EVEN EVENTS THAT “CROSS THE LINE” MUST FALL UNDER TOTAL IMMUNITY, OR IT WILL BE YEARS OF TRAUMA TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD. THERE MUST BE CERTAINTY. EXAMPLE: YOU CAN’T STOP POLICE FROM DOING THE JOB OF STRONG & EFFECTIVE CRIME PREVENTION BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GUARD AGAINST THE OCCASIONAL “ROGUE COP” OR “BAD APPLE.” SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH “GREAT BUT SLIGHTLY IMPERFECT.” ALL PRESIDENTS MUST HAVE COMPLETE & TOTAL PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY, OR THE AUTHORITY & DECISIVENESS OF A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WILL BE STRIPPED & GONE FOREVER. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE AN EASY DECISION. GOD BLESS THE SUPREME COURT!

“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. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows: "In reviewing the facts presented, the evidence, the law, the history, we determined under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment that Mr. Trump engaged in insurrection, and therefore was disqualified."

[Josh Dawsey @jdawsey1]

Remarks from @GovChristie tonight on Haley are worth reading:

[Elizabeth de la Vega 🇺🇸🦅 @Delavegalaw]

The 14th Amendment, Sec. 3, says absolutely nothing about a criminal conviction being required for its implementation. Read the Colorado and Maine opinions and you will understand where you have gone astray in your thinking.

[Anthony Michael Kreis, FRHistS @AnthonyMKreis]

A conviction was never required under the 14th Amendment. In fact, Jefferson Davis was never tried for treason yet nobody would have denied he was disqualified under Section 3. As I wrote in the NYT “There were vanishingly few arrests, trials and lengthy punishments” for rebels.

[Acyn @Acyn]

“No secretary of state has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on section 3 of the 14th amendment. But no presidential candidate has ever engaged in insurrection..”

[Alex Thompson @AlexThomp]

Christie on Haley: “She's smart & she knows better. And she didn't say it because she's a racist…the reason she did it is just as bad, if not worse, and should make everybody concerned about her candidacy. She did it because she's unwilling to offend anyone by telling the truth”

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Trump's disqualification under the 14th Amendment is not only historic and justified. It is necessary to protect the future of democracy in our country.
