Donald Trump's legal team as early as Tuesday could appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court the Colorado Supreme Court decision barring him from the GOP primary ballot.
We won’t hold politicians accountable, and if we start, them dropping is enough to make it all go away.
Republicans will never hold him accountable, but even a lot of Dem party leaders really don’t want to, because it sets a precedent that may be used against Dems at some hypothetical point in the future.
They want trump to “settle” to maintain the grey area. And he’s forcing them to actually do it.
“a lot of Dem party leaders really don’t want to, because it sets a precedent that may be used against Dems at some hypothetical point in the future.”
I wish they would get it through their thick fucking skulls that if it were reasonable to apply x consequence for y action unto a Democrat, Republicans would plow forward regardless of whether there’s precedent for it. They’re actively attempting an impeachment without having anything to point to as what triggered the impeachment inquiry. They are just retaliating to lessen the embarrassment of 2 impeachments against their former guy. They don’t give a shit about anything but culture wars, court of public opinion, and kitchen table topics of conversation. If it’s against the rules but it gets their constituents talking favorably, then it’s a winning move for them to go for it. They’re basically nihilists with a lust for power.
If trump retired from public life today, we would all be better off.
He would too, and that’s the problem.

It’s not even the first time, they did it 30 years ago when most of today’s party leaders were middle age and active in national politics.
There is zero reason to still not understand, but they won’t give up their leadership positions.
