BREAKING: Donald Trump is hit with a brutal Friday bombshell as lawyers from the prominent conservative Federalist Society publish a paper declaring that Trump MUST be banned from running for president “under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.”

But it gets WAY worse for Trump…

In their brutal paper, the Federalist Society accuses Trump of treason for “engaging in or gave aid and comfort to an insurrection against the constitutional government” when he incited the deadly January 6 insurrection as part of his failed coup attempt.

Adding insult to injury for Trump, the Federalist Society argues that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment — known as the insurrection clause — is "self-executing, operating as an immediate disqualification from office, without the need for additional action by Congress. It can and should be enforced by every official, state or federal, who judges qualifications. It covers a broad range of former offices, including the presidency. And in particular, it disqualifies former President Donald Trump, and potentially many others, because of their participation in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 presidential election.”

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."

Last September, a New Mexico judge ordered the removal of a county commissioner who took part in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The decision marked the first time since 1869 that a court disqualified a public official under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

Now, it appears that it may be used against Trump — the mastermind who orchestrated the insurrection.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Trump MUST be banned from running for office ever again — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/0c9FDbB14A

If you’re a Trump supporter AND “standing with Ukraine”, you’re an idiot.

Q: How come all the black truck douches aren’t loading up their ARs and working on shipping their badass selves to the Ukrainian front? (ala 1930s Spanish War)
A: Because they’re cowards hellbent on terrorizing an unarmed population.

Radical Right school board bans book about (checks notes) Nazis and the Holocaust.
Banning books is the favorite pastime of fascists.

Unaffiliated Idaho voters have until Election Day to pick a party. New legislation would require them to affiliate with a party by early March to vote in the primary in May. https://t.co/qDpfTSlaZ5

We at the Republican Accountability Project and its parent organization, Defending Democracy Together, are proud to stand with Liz Cheney and all elected officials of any party who are fighting for democracy, free government, and the rule of law.

[Republican Accountability @AccountableGOP]

.@Liz_Cheney on new information revealed tonight before the @January6thCmte:

“Mr. Meadows received numerous text messages...these text messages leave no doubt the White House knew exactly what was happening here at the Capitol.”

[Matt Johnson @whoismjohnson]

“Hours passed without necessary action by the president. These non privileged texts are further evidence of President Trump's supreme dereliction of duty during those 187 minutes.”

Virgina has lessons to teach if we’re willing to learn.

@brandendurst Well, since people like yourself keeping changing what defines “CRT”, we’ll just assume you mean anything that requires critical thinking.

[Matt Johnson @whoismjohnson]

Congratulations Nampa, you did it!
You rejected the good old boy system and elected a proud insurrectionist.
It’s a perfect little microcosm of how the GOP has been radicalized.

I have only one thing to say to the educators and administrators of the Nampa School District: Flee. Find jobs elsewhere as quickly as possible.

for fuck's sake, literally NO ONE is teaching critical race theory to children, unless your child is in law school, in which case, congratulations

[Matt Johnson @whoismjohnson]

@Sisyphus43 Tell you what kind of freaked me out about this clip: It’s practically verbatim what my mother said (about the same age also) when I asked her about CRT.
They don’t even know what they’re fighting. Just literally puppets being used. It’s almost heartbreaking.

[Matt Johnson @whoismjohnson]

Oh, it’s intentional.

[Rudy Soto @RudySotoIDUSA]

I’m deeply concerned about the Idaho Redistricting Commission’s proposed state legislative district map that slices and dices up the City of Nampa into 4 districts while the comparable City of Meridian is kept intact as two districts. #idpol

@DurstforIdaho Twitter’s Bullshit Meter just broke from overload.
Just a friendly point of Grammar: You can’t receive a call from “a 30+ year” (singular) “educators” (plural). That’s not how the English language works, Mr. Education.
But I guess fictional characters can say whatever they like.

[Matt Johnson @whoismjohnson]

@zebpalmer Had a conversation with a friend a while back about Q followers we know or have met and how many of them have histories of drug abuse (mostly in their younger days, now sober).
The correlation is pretty significant, anecdotally. Wonder what the real data says about it.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

The insurrection is an ongoing story. And should be covered as such.

“Anyone with a profitable enterprise becomes a target, regardless of their political sentiments.”

I have been asking why any member of corporate America would support the current GOP. Authoritarian rule will destroy them.
