If you are upset about Colorado removing TFG from its ballot, then be upset about the framers of the 14th Amendment who lived thru the Civil War & who thought there should be consequences for insurrection.
Donald trump wasn't removed from the Colorado ballot by President Biden.
He wasn't removed by the Democratic party.
He wasn't removed by the Deep State.
He wasn't even removed by the 6 Republicans who filed a lawsuit to have his seditious ass removed from the Colorado ballot.…

Exactly. Biden should jump on that. Dems should propose an updated Fairness Doctrine. But who owns the big newspapers and broadcast orgs? Is there any hope if the industry cleaning itself up? Any hope?
The irony of Trump coming up with the ‘Fake News!’ epithet to describe mainstream media outlets is that he was literally running an orchestrated and coordinated Fake News operation with David Pecker at the time.

This is why I voted for him, and will do so happily in 2024. This is what experience and competence in governing looks like.
In 2020, I didn’t vote to be entertained by a showboating fool. I voted for a man who could lead with experience and compassion. Instead, Biden delivered a statesman who will be remembered for generations to come.

This is unconscionable. Suspending a beaten child? Who then died? Every one of the staff who knew and did not call an ambulance share responsibility for her death.
Can YOU imagine YOUR child being so severely beaten AT SCHOOL, that they died from their injuries?
Can YOU imagine the school never called an ambulance but instead suspended YOUR child for two weeks for being beaten by 3 students?
Can YOU imagine?

Some sensible commentary about third parties. And remember, the only voter who is going to support all your positions on everything - is you. If you aren’t going to run, you have to compromise. Esp. In our winner-take-all system-.
