The Republican Accountability Project has released a blistering ad featuring former Republican public servants who warn against the return of Donald ‘I killed Roe V Wade’ Trump to the White House and the dire results for the nation that would follow.
Please watch below.
While not as entertaining as the recent Larry Bodine article and the very funny Lincoln Project “Limburger” ad (see at the end of this article) calling out Donald Trump’s odor, this new presentation, brought to this writer’s attention by AZ Blue Meanie, from Republicans who care about our Democracy should be watched over and over.
The ad, which starts off with the morning alarm going off at 6:00 a.m., features:
- Former Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney stated: “A vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election you ever get to vote in.”
- Former Trump Defense Secretary Mike Esper proclaiming: “He’s a threat to Democracy.”
The narrator then reminds viewers that it was Donald ‘I killed Roe v Wade’ Trump who enabled the Domestic Terrorists who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
She also reminds the viewers that Trump, in his campaign appearances and social media posts, is not even hiding his desire to rule as a dictator, “terminate the Constitution,” and replace civil servants with sycophantic loyalists, comparing his remarks and hopes to Mussolini, Chavez, Pinochet, and Orbin.
The narrator concludes by warning:
“Donald Trump’s chances of winning are very real. The alarm is going off. Everyone needs to wake up. We have a choice between protecting our Democracy or letting Trump destroy it. It’s time to get off the sidelines. We can’t let Donald Trump get close to the Oval Office again.”
Wiser words were never said.
Someone please explain the flaw in my following logic.
1) The Colorado Supreme Court decided Trump a) previously took an oath to support the Constitution, b) then engaged in insurrection, c) thereby disqualifying him from “hold(ing) any office . . . [u]nder the United States, or under any State. . . .”
2) By that plain language, I submit Trump is thus disqualified from being elected to the Presidency, regardless whether any other state follows the Colorado court lead. Moreover, said disqualification persists unless the U.S. Supreme Court overrules the Colorado Supreme Court on the issue. THAT seems unlikely because the U.S. Supremes would have to strike down the very straightforward Colorado decision, which decision is based upon the very simple, logically unassailable language of the Fourteenth Amendment.
I am open to being corrected. But if my logic is sound, who cares whether the Supremes (U.S.) take up the question? If it does not, it appears to me the Colorado decision itself bars Trump’s election to “any office . . . under the United States [] or under any State. . . .” The Colorado Court rendered its decision in good faith presuming if the U.S. Court disagreed it would do so. The Amendment does not require the U.S. Court to weigh in in order for the Colorado decision to exercise the Fourteenth Amendment power reserved therein to all U.S. courts.
I understand the D.C. Circuit has taken up the question. But I continue to hear media sources opine or suggest that if the U.S. Supreme Court decides to not take up the issue it will be a victory for Trump. I suspect such victory will rather occur if the U.S. Supreme Court renders another Heritage Foundation Bloc opinion.
Hi Rod,
I think you are confusing the immunity case with the 14th Amendment one. The immunity one is the case the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear.
