Why Democrats Should Want Donald Trump
on the Ballot

Original Article

Posted By: Moritz55, 12/23/2023 5:59:32 PM

The decision this week by the Colorado Supreme Court (by a 4-3 vote) to remove Donald Trump from the state’s ballot is a decided loss for democracy, arguably a worse loss for Democrats, and ultimately a win for Donald Trump — for several reasons. First and foremost, and most obviously, in the Republican primary, Trump’s argument has been that democracy has been undermined by the various investigations that he has faced and is currently facing. Now, before any of the major Trump cases — including the one related to his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, which was the reason Colorado ruled he was ineligible for the ballot — have concluded

Remember when all the democrat talking heads were gleeful anticipating how badly Hillary Clinton was gonna beat that loser, Trump? Yeah, it's the same now. Democrats are a one trick pony, Whatever they tell you, believe the opposite.

The Clinton "Third Way" Democrats are unhappy with the "Burn It All Down Now" Democrats. Its a generational thing. The Boomer Dem's Cloward-Priven strategy, and attendant propaganda, worked a little too well on their subsequent generations. The poor brains full of mush actually believed there was a pony under the pile and they 're ready to ride with the Valkyries. Liberal, progressive, socialistic, transism is the future, and it belongs to them! Our author, Mr. Schoen, is a bit of a Rip Van Winkle. He seems to have slept through the Obama Administration and Barack's stealth third term as Brandon's puppet master. He's still in the Clinton Camp firmly ensconced on the banks of Denial River. Is one of his current duties making the Chardonnay run for PIAPS?

Trump is NOT the weakest Republican running. He is probably the strongest. He offers a real alternative where many of the others are trying to sound like Democrats. If I liked Democratic policies, I would vote Democrat, not RINO. The problem is Democrats have brainwashed enough people and bought off enough people that they can conceivably win any election regardless of who their opponent is.

Democrats know very little and do nothing that is good for America. If they were a computer program they would be full of bugs and every logical path leads to one potential outcome, winning the next election.

Playing the role of Charlie Brown to Hillary's football-holding Lucy, Mel Cooley here gets trotted out for another election cycle to say obviously dumb stuff like: -- Republican candidates like Nikki Haley, who is currently surging in the polls . . . -- Bluntly, Trump is probably the weakest candidate the Republicans could run in a general election. Sure, Mel seems like a nice guy, and you really want to like him, but he comes off a little retarded with his vacuous expression and inane prognostications, even if he does occasionally say something smart-ish.

Trump is the only candidate that can defeat the evil forces of Globalism and Transism. Trump will win because the Democrats, FBI, and Justice system installed an illegitimate Bidet Administration.

Upon leaving the White House on Saturday before spending his Christmas at Camp David, Biden was asked by a reporter about his "outlook" of the economy going into 2024. "All good. Take a look," Biden responded. "Start reporting it the right way," he added with a smirk. Biden has repeatedly been critical of the press, which he accuses of focusing more on negative news than positive things that come from his administration. But his approval among Americans continues reaching historic lows and his handling of the economy is a heavy factor in his unpopularity.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., faced blowback for her social media post that tried to liken Jesus to the Palestinian people and criticize Israel but made no mention of Hamas or their hostages. "In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents," Ocasio-Cortez wrote, referencing Jews who lived in the land over 2,000 years ago under Roman control. "He was part of a targeted population being indiscriminately killed to protect an unjust leader’s power." "Thousands of years later, right-wing forces are violently occupying Bethlehem as similar stories unfold for today’s Palestinians

The race between Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley to secure a clear and commanding second place to Donald Trump is starting to feel like an old Law and Order episode. You know the ones. Where two guys who committed a crime are separated and the first one to flip gets the better plea deal? As it stands, DeSantis and Haley could both choose to be the first to drop out and endorse Trump, thus ensuring the other is set up for a grueling one on one with the surging former president that looks to be a very uphill climb.

Gen Z voters are growing increasingly concerned about President Biden's mental fitness and "retiree" lifestyle as his approval rating slips to an all-time low in a national poll ahead of the 2024 election. "I don't mean to rag on the president of the United States, but honestly, he's acting like a retiree," Kale Ogunbor, a Republican Gen Z voter, told "Fox & Friends First" Wednesday. "It's been reported that over 40% of Joe Biden's presidency has been spent on vacation. And I think a lot of Americans, including Gen Z, don't want a president who seems more like he's retired the next four years after 2024."

Ever since Hunter Biden was captured in a recording calling his client, Patrick Ho, “the f—ing spy chief of China,” questions have swirled around the Chinese official who headed a U.S.-based think-tank that worked to advance the interests of CEFC China Energy and its now-vanished founder, Ye Jianming. Court records from Ho’s case reviewed by Just the News show the FBI and Justice Department gathered evidence under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) from around the time when Hunter Biden and his uncle James were dealing with CEFC officials, including Ho. Joe Biden also met twice with CEFC officials: once as vice president and once as a private citizen

Former President Barack Obama went to bat for Harvard President Claudine Gay amid backlash she received following her testimony on antisemitism before Congress. A confidential source familiar with the matter told Jewish Insider on Tuesday that Obama, a Harvard graduate, had privately lobbied on Gay's behalf following her congressional appearance about antisemitism and threats against Jewish students on the Ivy League campus. "It sounded like people were being asked to close ranks to keep the broader administration stable—including its composition," the source said of Obama's involvement.

As the House of Representatives goes into high gear in its impeachment proceedings (and possible contempt resolution against Hunter Biden), the Biden family legal problems continue to mount. In one week, it was revealed that President Biden’s brother James was caught on an FBI audiotape in a corruption investigation, while Ashley Biden, the president’s daughter, is now also facing demands for unpaid taxes. James Biden is expected to appear before the House for questioning in the coming weeks. The appearance may solidify a new line of defense for the Bidens: that they are harmless grifters.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., released his annual Christmas "Festivus" report Friday for the ninth year in a row, outlining $900 billion in government waste. Among notable instances, the National Institutes of Health allocated funds to study Russian cats on treadmills, photos of Barbies were utilized as identification to obtain COVID relief funds, the Department of Defense lost $169 million of outdoor-stored military gear, $6 million went towards tourism in Egypt by the United States Agency for International Development, and the Small Business Administration provided over $200 million to "struggling" music artists such as Post Malone, Chris Brown, and Lil Wayne.

Trump Derangement Syndrome became Orwellian with the recent ruling of the Colorado Supreme Court. It approved the erasure of Trump from the Republican primary ballot in Colorado, by invoking Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That ossified clause was intended to bar any ante-bellum federal officials who joined the Confederacy from again holding federal offices after 1865. In no way is Trump’s conduct on January 6 comparable to calling for secession, much less prompting a Civil War that cost the country 700,000 lives.

Why is Donald Trump so resilient? As 2023 draws to a close, the ex-president is on track to win the Republican nomination and beat Joe Biden next November. If the election were today, Trump would get his second term. Yet he's charged with crimes that run a gamut from election interference to mishandling classified information. He's under gag orders and lost a $5 million civil suit this year. Why don't voters care -- or if they do, why are they rewarding Trump not punishing him? A hint can be found in the work of a great historian who died last week, J.G.A. Pocock.

Blavatnik and his family foundation have donated more than $270 million to Harvard in the past, Bloomberg News reported Thursday. He is only the latest donor to pull back in protest after Gay refused to state that calling for the genocide of Jews would infringe on Harvard's rules against bullying and harassment.

President Biden ordered strikes on three locations in Iraq after three U.S. service members were wounded, one critically, in an attack early Christmas morning credited to a militia group backed by Iran. In a statement Monday, National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said Biden directed the strikes against three facilities used by Kataib Hezbollah and affiliated groups, which claimed credit for the initial attack against U.S. personnel. The groups, the U.S. said, are all connected to Iran. The U.S. attack was carried out by a one-way attack drone, according to the statement, which said the three locations were “focused specifically on unmanned aerial drone activities.”

It was later revealed that Card had a history of mental illness and had even threatened violence against his fellow servicemembers at a military base.

In the wake of burgeoning calls for Gay to resign, faculty members are now also turning the spotlight on the other 11 members of the Harvard Corporation - the Ivy League's powerful governing body which continues to support her. One professor has even suggested an overhaul of the governance structure to give lawmakers the opportunity to appoint board members who represent the public interest, according to the Wall Street Journal.
