Republicans threaten to take Joe Biden off ballot in states they control

After the Colorado Supreme Court ruled Donald Trump would be removed from the 2024 ballot, some Republicans want the same for Biden.

Republicans are calling for President Joe Biden to be removed from state presidential ballots following a Colorado court ruling that Donald Trump is not permitted to be on its ballot next year.

In a 4-3 decision on Wednesday, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that the former president violated the 14th Amendment, which bars public officials from holding federal office if they have engaged in insurrection.

In November, a lower court in Colorado had agreed with the plaintiffs, a group of Colorado voters including Norma Anderson, a petitioner and former Republican majority leader of the Colorado House and Senate, that Trump engaged in insurrection over his behavior during the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. During the siege, Trump supporters stormed the building in protest of his election loss.

Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, has denied all wrongdoing and has not been charged with insurrection. He has argued that courts do not have the authority to bar candidates from the ballot under the constitutional provision.

Now, some Republicans have said Biden, too, should be removed from state ballots, though it is not clear on what constitutional grounds.

Well, obviously the constitutional grounds of nah nah nah nah.

No need for it. So much crap comes out of their mouths that there's nothing left to come out the other end.

I do hope someone asks Trump the same question.

A whole $12K fine, eh? I wonder how much she was able to raise with it. I mean, it's not only the very minor cost of *doing business*, or in her case, corruption, but she likely will refuse to pay the fine, as well.

Our laws and punishments lack teeth, particularly when dealing with malicious actors and financial/electoral crimes.

Kyle Rittenhouse, who killed two people and injured a third during racial justice protests in 2020, was mocked on social media on Wednesday for boasting about his Special Ops training.

The teen from Antioch, Illinois, was armed with an AR-15-style rifle and a part of a group that said they were in Kenosha to protect businesses. Rittenhouse was hit with a slew of charges, including first-degree intentional homicide, but was acquitted, arguing that he acted in self-defense.

Rittenhouse, now 21, posted a picture of him and three other people in tactical gear, holding long guns, on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday. He captioned the post: "Training with some special op guys today! Fun content coming soon!"

'Beyond the pale': Trump ally ridiculed for believing Nikki Haley can control the weather

A Donald Trump ally who is frequently cited by the former president has an interesting new conspiracy theory: Nikki Haley can control the weather.Laura Loomer, who supports Trump and has even been floated by Donald Trump Jr. as a potential interim press secretary should his father get a second...

Laura Loomer, who supports Trump and has even been floated by Donald Trump Jr. as a potential interim press secretary should his father get a second chance at the White House, posted about her theory on social media.

"Is the Deep State activating HAARP to disrupt the Iowa Caucus?" Loomer asked, citing the short-hand for the subject of weather-controlling conspiracy theories. "We all know [Haley] has a lot of friends in the defense industry and Military industrial complex."

Loomer continued:

"She’s losing in Iowa, and now Iowa is set to get hit with a ONCE IN A DECADE blizzard as Trump is set to dominate the Iowa Caucus. Is the Deep State using HAARP to rig the Iowa Caucus? Looks like weather manipulation to me. Take a look at this weather radar below and how the incoming snow storm accelerated out of nowhere."

A new Republican mom wants to change House rules for postpartum voting

When she arrived in Congress last year, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a hard-right Republican from Florida, joined the rest of her party in staunchly opposing proxy voting, a practice adopted by House Democrats to allow for remote legislating during the pandemic.

Then, in August, she gave birth to her first child, and her perspective changed. Now, Luna is pressing to allow new mothers in Congress to stay away from Washington immediately after giving birth and designate a colleague to cast votes on the House floor on their behalf.
