Sure thing, bucko. There is one party that is trying to subvert democracy, and it aint the GOP.saltydog wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 4:54 pmGo read the 14th Amendment. Just like the GOP worships the words of the 2nd Amendment.
We know you aren't a fan of democracy, but this is what laws are designed for. It's not political, it's legal, which appears to be beyond your comprehension because you respect ZERO laws, right?

No need to guess when there's already a judgement. Inciting insurrection to seize power and being punished for it because it's a traitorous act, that's not subverting democracy. That's defending it. But you're free to stand before the courts involved and argue the case. Clock's ticking.

Except the GOP is trying to subvert democracy, and broadly. If you're going to lie, at least try to not be so blatant about it. Stick with your "but I'm really a Democrat" line of bs.

Well, see that's what being open and transparent is like, and what it's like taking the first hits on Google for "voter purges by republicans" and "donald trump coup." I know, it's hard to be honest when you're so used to having to mask where you get your drivel from. But we believe in you, you can do better, yes you can.
Big MAGA you are, eh?CentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 8:23 pm Once SCOTUS gets finished crushing the Colorado State supreme court over this ruling, the only way to guess it's height will be through a microscope.
I'd start with people who asked for pardons before Trump left office.

Reasonable to say the right's representatives here are disingenuous in their discourse.
So, once again you have nothing of substance to this issue other than 3rd grade insults.
Thanks gramps.
Colorado Supreme Court justices face a flood of threats after disqualifying Trump from the ballot
The latest round of threats fits a familiar pattern: Trump faces a legal setback, and officials face threats.
In the 24 hours since the Colorado Supreme Court kicked former President Donald Trump off the state's Republican primary ballot, social media outlets have been flooded with threats against the justices who ruled in the case, according to a report obtained by NBC News.
Advance Democracy, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that conducts public interest research, identified "significant violent rhetoric" against the justices and Democrats, often in direct response to Trump's posts about the ruling on his platform Truth Social. They found that some social media users posted justices' email addresses, phone numbers and office building addresses.
"This ends when we kill these f--kers," a user wrote on a pro-Trump forum that was used by several Jan. 6 rioters.
"What do you call 7 justices from the Colorado Supreme Court at the bottom of the ocean?" asked another user. "A good start."
Posts — whose images and links were included in the report — noted a variety of methods that could be used to kill those perceived as Trump's enemies: hollow-point bullets, rifles, rope, bombs.
"Kill judges. Behead judges. Roundhouse kick a judge into the concrete," read a post on a fringe website. "Slam dunk a judge's baby into the trashcan."
The threats fit into a predictable and familiar pattern, seen time and time again after legal developments against Trump. After the FBI searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, a man who had been at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, attacked the FBI field office in Cincinnati with a nail gun while holding an AR-15-style rifle. When a grand jury in Georgia indicted Trump, some of his supporters posted the grand jurors' addresses online. When U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan was assigned to special counsel Jack Smith's federal election interference case against Trump, she faced threats from Trump supporters. A federal appeals court pointed out the pattern when it upheld a narrowed gag order against Trump in his election interference case this month, noting that those he publicly targets are often threatened and harassed.
Daniel J. Jones, the president Advance Democracy, the group that compiled the report, said the consistency of the violent threats and rhetoric was especially concerning.
“We are seeing significant violent language and threats being made against the Colorado justices and others perceived to be behind yesterday’s Colorado Supreme Court ruling," Jones, a former FBI investigator and staffer for the Senate Intelligence Committee, told NBC News in a statement.
"The normalization of this type of violent rhetoric — and lack of remedial action by social media entities — is cause for significant concern," he said. "Trump’s statements, which have sought to delegitimize and politicize the actions of the courts, is serving as a key driver of the violent rhetoric. Political leaders on both sides of the political aisle need to speak out against these calls for violence, and social media platforms need to reassess their role in hosting and promoting this rhetoric.”
A spokesman for the Colorado Supreme Court did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A Trump campaign official did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Didn’t SCOTUS get threats after Roe?dot wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 3:19 am Who could've guessed this from the crowd that would support an insurrection?

Oh, that would be pretty damning if the pro-Roe advocates and their reps didn't push back against threats made to officials regardless of party lines. It's almost like they're not the side that supported an insurrection and overthrowing our government.
Way to sidestep the fact that you can't or rather won't admit an attempted coup by a now former president, but are more than willing to go Pepe Silva on a random Twitter user with the power and relevance of a limp noodle.
