Section 3, Amendment 14

Section 3, Amendment 14. Clear as a bell.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, 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, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

When will we come to our collective consciousness and do what’s right?

A Constitutional Convention? Some Democrats Fear It's Coming.

Source: New York Times

Some Republicans have said that a constitutional convention is overdue. Many Democratic-led states have rescinded their long-ago calls for one, and California will soon consider whether to do the same.

As Republicans prepare to take control of Congress and the White House, among the many scenarios keeping Democrats up at night is an event that many Americans consider a historical relic: a constitutional convention.

The 1787 gathering in Philadelphia to write the Constitution was the one and only time state representatives have convened to work on the document.

But a simple line in the Constitution allows Congress to convene a rewrite session if two-thirds of state legislatures have called for one. The option has never been used, but most states have long-forgotten requests on the books that could be enough to trigger a new constitutional convention, some scholars and politicians believe.

If civil war breaks out...

Meet me at the library, they don’t know where or what that is…..!

NoShit...

NoShit....

If America survives this election, which I believe we will, we need to return to reality. The country has gone off the rails since the turn of the century at greater speed each year, partially through inertia but primarily through insane levels of income inequality. Our laws are written by men who do not follow them and reported on by corporations owned by plutocrats who benefit from them.

Meanwhile, we the people descend into superstition and delusion fed with infotainment and entertainment as powerful as soma by the very same plutocrats. We need to...come to grips with a few facts which have been obscured by all this nonsense.

1) Our planetary life support system is in danger because physics and chemistry are real. 2) Men who accumulate capital are not necessarily wiser nor more ethical than anyone else. 3) History did not...end, it continues at breakneck speed as nations continue to compete in geopolitics through war and other means. 4) If treason and other lawbreaking offers financial rewards and goes unpunished, you will only get more of it. 5) The greater the power an individual accrues the...greater the corruption they will be capable of. 6) It takes all kinds of opinions, beliefs and personality types to have a functional society. 7) We can influence government through organizing. 8) Hope is not an effective policy, it is a feeling. 9) Nobody is coming to save us.

Our governmental system was built upon limiting the power of men and religions. It is a product of the enlightenment and lessons learned from Europe's charnel house. It is not a perfect system but seems to me to be the best option we have available. We have very real problems on the near horizon which will only be solved if we approach them in a rational manner.

To do this we need to cut through the emotionalism, avarice and lies which shroud our nation like a toxic blanket. If you want America to prosper instead of a few men, we need truth and justice.

NoShit..,

Frank Zappa for the win today...

NoShit...

JD the hypocrites hypocrite...

If we elect this SMF, we deserve to lose our democracy

Oh boy. Trump’s Doral rally tonight was a doozy. Let’s recap it:

He started off by bragging about his golf course instead of apologizing for being an hour late and leaving people waiting all day under a heat advisory.

He said he didn’t know what NATO was.

He bragged that “being indicted is a lot of fun.”

He claimed “tens of thousands” of people showed up to this sad little rally. He later said “45,000 people” when it barely looked like 2k people were there.

He froze like a deer in headlights for 10 straight seconds.

He praised Laura Loomer and repeatedly called her “amazing.”

He’s mad that Kamala Harris laughs and called her “L-a-f-f-i-n’ Kamala,” proving what we already knew that bro can’t spell.

He said he wants a “no holds barred” debate without moderators this week. Essentially the two of them screaming at each other. Super dumb idea. Especially when Biden is hosting the NATO summit.

He also challenged President Biden to a golf tournament this week when President Biden is busy meeting with NATO leaders and doing his job.

He said Biden “doesn’t know what a synagogue is.”

He thinks you have to stop electric cars every hour.

He complained about the heat only 16 minutes in, when those people waited all day and he still showed up an hour late.

He said someone told him that he looks “great in a bathing suit.” Barf.

He called the fictional Hannibal Lecter “a lovely man” and compared him to immigrants.

He said migrants are “preying on everybody.”

He forgot how to say “feared” and said “field.”

He said he’d be the “greatest president that God has ever created.”

He claimed Hunter Biden is running the country.

He babbled about facelifts.

He said he was going to bring Tom Homan back into his administration, a guy who helped author Project 2025 which he claims to know nothing about.

He claimed Biden has more homes than him.

He said we’ll become “energy independent” when we already are right now.

He complained some more about the hot weather.

He asked why “sweaty” golf caddies “never touched me, never hugged me, never kissed me.”

He made fun of Chris Christie’s weight while claiming he was standing up for him. Mighty rich.

He said the U.S. is turning into “communist Cuba or socialist Venezuela.”

He struggled to pronounce some of his sycophants’ names.

He called Don Jr. “a great talent” and that he has a “great wife” even though he’s not married to Kimberly Guilfoyle.

He said how much he loves his family showing up when his wife Melania and favorite daughter Ivanka didn’t even bother going.

He said “October 7th would not have happened” if he was President.

He said Israel “had no money.”

He said “we have nuclear submarines and five warships in Cuba,” essentially calling himself a Russian.

He said Biden has abandoned Cuba when he was the one who nixed Obama’s plan to reopen trade and travel to Cuba.

He said people get “shot, mugged, raped” when visiting the Washington Monument in DC.

He said he will protect the second amendment and “innocent life” in the same breath.

He told people to “vote whenever you want.”

He played a song performed by J6 insurrectionists and people who beat up police officers.

He read his teleprompter cue to speak quickly out loud.

He said that getting rid of energy efficiency in appliances will “keep our enemies at bay.”

He called the United States of America “a third-world country” and said we’re “a joke.”

He said President Biden “isn’t legally allowed to stand trial.”

He’s claiming that the stock market is high because of MAGA winning the election in November, and that it will crash like during the Great Depression if he loses.

He said it’s “easier to get fentanyl than groceries.”

He forgot how to say the word “economy.”

He said he’d rather take money from small dollar donors instead of the wealthy.

He said they’re “going to take over our Capitol.”

He lied like he breathes.

And we all know the media won’t cover HALF of this absolute train wreck.
