I suppose it would ultimately be up to the supreme court to define what exactly that eligibility requirement (that you basically have to have never tried to overthrow the government) as written in the constitution means, but that doesn’t actually immediately involve a conviction of Trump for anything (as “being under the age of 35” doesn’t require some sort of criminal conviction)

In the hypothetical scenario, someone would try to remove him from the ballot, and the supreme court would either uphold or reject that based on their interpretation of the language of the amendment

It’s strong circumstantial evidence that the attack on the capitol (which itself is just a component of his overall objective to illegally overturn the election results) was his intention all along

I hadn’t experienced hexbear (literally) shitting up the place yet, has a way to block entire instances been implemented or do I gotta find a new one that isn’t federated with them?

They argue that it doesn’t remove anyone’s rights, it’s a constitutionally mandated eligibility requirement, no different from needing to be over 35 or US born

Well, if it wasn’t his intent, he sure did sit watching it on TV until it was clear that the US government would not be overthrown, instead of swiftly taking action like any other president would when congress is under attack

We had to rely on Pence, hiding in the capitol basement, to actually attempt to manage this thing

I’m stuck with Comcast 1200/30 with a 1.2TB cap for $100/mo, it’s this or DSL

Only HTTP, they intercept any unencrypted page in flight and inject a giant banner at the top that won’t go away until you acknowledge it, no local application required

This is 100% legal in the US, and in fact, some small regional ISPs actually made money injecting actual ads into webpages, literal spyware

That shit would get thrown in a metal cage and treated as a radioactive DMZ network-wise if I was forced to use it

My ISP is the dumb pipe my internet comes from, it’s bad enough that they inject bandwidth cap warnings into the raw HTML of webpages like some sort of adware virus, they can stay the fuck out of my local network
