Donald Trump initially said Kamala Harris shouldnāt be āallowedā to run against him. Now he wants her āforced offā the campaign trail.
ā¦
Ahead of Election Day 2020, Trump saidĀ Joe BidenĀ shouldnāt have been āallowedā to run for president. In July 2024, he saidĀ Kamala Harris shouldnāt be āallowedā to run, either.
Four months later, asĀ a HuffPost reportĀ noted, the former president insisted that the Democratic vice president should now be āforced offā the campaign trail.
In recent weeks, as the GOP nominee has struggled to come up with a coherent closing message, heās fixated on a handful of preoccupations, including hisĀ desire to see Biden returnĀ to the ballot, hisĀ baseless ā60 Minutesā conspiracy theoryĀ and his insistence thatĀ Harris should stop runningĀ against him.

You know who I think shouldnāt be allowed to run? The guy who tried to stage a coup.
Iām going to go ahead and say convicted felons probably shouldnāt be eligible for the countryās highest office, either.
Not a good law to pass. The GOP would weaponize that before the ink was dry on the bill.
If your country is in a place where you donāt think banning felons from holding elected office is good because you are worried that the legislative branch will weaponize the judicial branch to stop their opposition from running, then Iād suggest that the problem isnāt one that laws can fix
It was a forethought, it was intentional. The āfounding fathersā may have been super naive and absurd in some situations, but this is one they got correct. You donāt want to let the government decide who gets to run in that way because that will almost always be abused no matter what the current society is like.
There are specific situations like what Colorado tried with Trump that makes sense and have a legal history, he was part of an insurrection, but for āstandardā felonies itās best that we donāt go down that road.
nevermind standard felonies. if it were almost any other federal position with access to classified material heād never get a clearance, along with many other politicians; strictly based on business deals with foreign powers, debt and erratic behavior. why these people donāt have to go through the same minimum, non-political checks for access as other federal workers is beyond meā¦ at the very least, he just doesnāt meet the minimum qualifications for access to material needed to perform his job.
If I understand correctly (however dumb I think it is) āweā give him clearance by voting for him. We are supposed to be that check.
Thatās one place the founders fucked up, but also their system of elections was much different than it is now. I for one wouldnāt even be able to vote since I donāt own landā¦ They never expected complete fucking morons and propagandized asshats to be voting. I believe they also expected the electors of the electoral college to override a vote for someone as bat shit crazy as Trumpā¦
Gonna need a supervolcano eruption.
He isnāt. No sane reading of the 14th amendment allows him to run.
Didnāt he clarify that it was a celebration of joy or something?
a day of love
Thatās right, a day of š„° between ordinary folks and their political representatives
