(Congress Report) – The Democrats are back at it again. Leftists have officially declared war against former President Donald Trump, launching a blitz attack that includes two indictments, one in New York for an alleged hush money payment to Stormy Daniels, the other in Florida concerning classified documents found at his estate. And now they are trying to get him disqualified from appearing on ballots in the 2024 election in 14 states. Guys, the radical progressives are absolutely threatened to the very bottom of the pit of their soul, otherwise they would not be spending this level of energy attempting to take Trump down.
According to The Hill, “Two civil rights organizations are launching a campaign to pressure state governments to disqualify former President Trump from appearing on ballots in 2024. The groups say secretaries of state are empowered by the 14th Amendment to bar Trump from running for office because of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.”
“Starting Sunday, Mi Familia Vota and Free Speech for People will stage a week of rallies and banner drops outside the offices of the secretaries of state of California, Oregon, Colorado and Georgia. The groups also penned a letter to Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar last month, calling on him to block Trump under what’s known as the Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause,” the report continued.
“We’re really focusing on Nevada and California and [Oregon, Colorado and Georgia] to make sure that they are taking a stand by disqualifying Trump in those spaces, which is something that the secretary of state can do,” Héctor Sánchez, executive director of Mi Familia Vota, went on to say.
The organizations have named their crusade against the former president, “Trump is Disqualified” and are timing the launch to coincide with the 155th anniversary of the 14th Amendment being ratified.
One of the duties given to secretaries of state is certifying the eligibility of candidates and the counting of votes in their respective states. While the former president has been indicted twice now and is currently under investigation in several other cases, the groups who are attacking Trump say those are not the facts that disqualify him from being on the ballot, as per Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
“However, the groups believe Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 insurrection — for which he is also under investigation — does fit the constitutional clause’s definitions,” The Hill stated. “That clause bars from a series of public offices people 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.'”
The Congressional Research Service, also known as the CRS, has said that it’s not 100 percent clear if the clause in question actually bans folks from being the commander-in-chief, as the office is not explicitly mentioned in Section 3. They also aren’t sure whether or not the events that transpired on Jan. 6, 2021, actually meet the criteria for “insurrection or rebellion against” the U.S.
However, Couy Griffin, an official from the state of New Mexico, was booted from his position as elected county commissioner for his participation in the riot. Griffin was convicted for the part he allegedly played in the event before he was removed from office, however the CRS points out that the Constitution “does not expressly require a criminal conviction, and historically, one was not necessary.”
The two groups that are leading the assault against Trump in a bid to remove the biggest threat facing President Joe Biden’s reelection efforts fully believe they are capable of convincing some secretaries of state on their interpretation of the clause, which would put a huge damper on Trump’s chances to win in 2024.
“Trump is responsible for the January 6th insurrection, plain and simple,” Alexandra Flores-Quilty, campaign director for Free Speech For People commented. “Failing to hold him responsible not only violates the Constitution, but it also sets a dangerous precedent for permitting violent attacks on our democracy. That’s not a risk we can afford to take.”
Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and well, ladies and gentlemen. Again, they would not be so terrified of seeing this man take the Oval Office for a second time if he was not a legitimate threat to their agenda and the future vision they have for this country.
Unfortunately, the groups are probably right about their ability to convince some secretaries of state that their interpretation of the clause is correct, given that most of the targeted states are currently under Democratic Party control. However, the state of Georgia is especially significant to these individuals due to the events that led up to Jan. 6.
“Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) was in 2020 pressured by Trump to reverse his state’s presidential vote count, which favored President Biden. A disqualification for Trump from any secretary of state would be unprecedented and likely challenged in court, but the civil rights groups say they have a shot,” the report added.
“We had a number of meetings with secretaries of state and we have had this discussion. So it’s a real possibility,” Sanchez noted in the article’s conclusion.
The Hill reached out to Trump’s presidential campaign, but as of this writing they have not received a reply.

He should be disqualified. The fact that he is not imprisoned boggles the mind.
After all the Democrats made-up and false accusations of wrongdoing by Trump, the truth has always prevailed, but the Democrats never give up when they know the people don’t want them, but instead want the person the Democrats hate the most, Trump.
Espionage by definition is the stealing of classified documents, which Trump had in his possession under the “Presidential Records Act”, which Bill Clinton did the exact same thing, and NARA had the DOJ sue Bill Clinton in federal court for the return of those classified documents he kept when leaving the White House and stored them in his sock drawer. But the federal judge ruled in that case that as the former President, Bill Clinton had the authority to keep those documents, and as a former President also had the authority to declassify those documents, through the “Presidential Records Act” that gave him those authorities, which this case set the precedent for President Trump to do the exact same things as this federal judge ruled that Bill Clinton had the authority to do as a former President.
But let’s stay on the “Espionage Act” that the Democrats knew they had to use against Trump, because the precedent was set under the “Presidential Records Act” that Trump had the authority to do what he did and is now being prosecuted for it under the “Espionage Act”, because NARA and the DOJ knew they would lose again if they tried to prosecute him with any other accusation under the “Presidential Records Act”.
But Biden has been found to have done the exact same thing of possessing classified documents, but claims his case is different than Trump’s because he voluntarily gave them back to NARA, even though some were almost 40 years late. But the “Presidential Records Act” does not have anything to do with Biden’s possession of classified documents, because he took them as a US Senator and Obama’s Vice-President, which as not being the President that he had no authority to possess outside a “SCIF”, which Biden had to steal the classified documents from in order to have them in his possession as a US Senator or as Obama’s Vice President, which the stealing of classified documents is the definition of espionage, and Biden, through all the classified documents he had in his possession from the times he was a US Senator until the end of when he was Obama’s Vice-President, makes Joe Biden a “Serial Classified Documents Thief” of nearly 40 years during which times he stole many classified documents, never telling anyone and keeping some for nearly 40 years in unsafe storage areas.
Then it was discovered on Hunter Biden’s laptop, an e-mail that Hunter Biden had sent to a foreign agent that was nearly verbatim to one of those classified documents that Joe Biden stole from a “SCIF”, which is also by definition espionage under the “Espionage Act”, definitely making what joe Biden did to get the classified documents found in his possession, how he stored those classified documents, and how he allowed his son to send the information from them to foreign agents, is definitely different from what President Trump did under the “Presidential Records Act”, and will be quite amusing to see how the Special Counsel will prosecute President Trump for espionage, and what kind of proof there is that will actually an espionage act by definition? It has always been proven that what the Democrats accuse others of falsely doing, they are later found to have actually done.
So, let’s see how Joe Biden’s Special Counsel handles Joe Biden’s many serial classified documents theft and transfer of information from those classified documents to a foreign agent, again both being the definition of espionage, and should be charged under the “Espionage Act” both for the stealing of many classified documents, and also for the transfer of information from those classified documents to foreign agents.
The Democrats tried to impeach President Trump twice for far less crimes, that they failed to prove, than what we now have absolute evidence and proof of Joe Biden’s undoubtable crimes that he did under the “Espionage Act”, but will the Democrats impeach Joe Biden for his “High Crimes of Treason” under the “Espionage Act”?
Any state that leaves any candidate off the ballot needs to have their “election” invalidated, not counted in the total
If you can’t beat him, make sure the American people are not allowed to vote for him, which is what every single case, prosecution, and persecution of Trump is all about.
The Democrats definitely do not want the American people to choose who their next President will be in 2025 and for the next four years.
So, let’s see how the “US Justice System” will be used to prevent the American people from choosing the President that they want, as all the Judges always proclaim that they want nothing in their courts that would prevent the American people from choosing who their President, or any other elected official, will be, as they claim that they want it done through the American people’s votes, not through the Democrats’ prevention of the people being able to vote for who they want.
Let’s see what prevails, for then we will know what the truth really is. What the Democrats will do in stopping Trump from running for the Presidency, or what the Judges proclaim what they supposedly want, the American people to have their choice through their votes?
So much for the Democrats and the right to vote. They are willing to do this to anyone. It goes beyond Trump. Whoever threatens their power fair game, //////yt us totally disgusting,
thats typical of the democrat/comminist party
I must also add that they are scared to hell to have Mr. Trump as president and requesting a full fledge investigation on electoral fraud in the 2020 elections. They know it is true, they know it is their weapon to control all elections, and they know that Mr. Trump will uncover the whole thing. And then…, “the s..i will hit the fan!”.
In Congress, there are currently 255 seats that were elected to office as “Democrats”. Of those, 153 of them are either self-proclaimed Socialists or Progressives, which is even further to the left than Socialism. That’s (at least) 60% of those in office as Democrats have LIED to the American People about where their loyalties lies. Bernie Sanders was allowed to run as a Democrat for President yet he is a self-proclaimed Socialist. They call themselves “Democratic-Socialists”. Pretty soon they will likely drop the Democratic off their title. The Democratic Party doesn’t exist anymore, it has been hijacked by the Socialists (this is right out of Hitler’s playbook when he took power). Wake up, Woke People… you are being used.
