A liberal group on Wednesday filed a lawsuit to bar former President Donald Trump from the primary ballot in Colorado, arguing he is ineligible to run for the White House again under a rarely used clause in the U.S. Constitution aimed at candidates who have supported an “insurrection.”
He ordered his followers to march to the capitol and “fight like hell” and then didn’t clarify “oh no I meant rhetorically” when they started breaking in and chanting “hang mike pence”
Like hell he wasn’t a part of it

He also did nothing to stop the insurrection while it was happening - he could’ve easily given the order for the military or national guard to intervene and he did no such thing. In fact he watched it all go down on tv and did NOTHING. That is a failure to uphold his oath to protect and defend the constitution.

How is that a reach? His job is literally to protect our country from all enemies foreign and domestic - he literally did not do that.

If I told you to go fight like hell, and you used violence, I’d at best be an accomplice. Words mean things, stop pretending otherwise.

Fucking baby. When was the last time you used “but it was just a joke” to get out of being held accountable for your words? I’m betting you do that a lot, based on this exchange

Right, but if I told you to fight like hell rhetorically, and saw you fighting like hell physical, I’d be quick to clarify. He sat on his thumbs for hours watching it unfold.
Thank you for the derision, I and my MLIS don’t give shit about it though.
