Liz Cheney: "No honest person can now deny that Trump is an enemy of the Constitution."

[kpete]

Donald Trump believes we should terminate “all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution” to overturn the 2020 election. That was his view on 1/6 and remains his view today. No honest person can now deny that Trump is an enemy of the Constitution.

4. Liz Cheney continued to deny it

6. I'm not against trying to recruit the dozen or so non MAGA repukes it would take to make her speaker

Just a thought...

12. She lost her seat. She won't be back. ❤️

15. The speaker of the House does not have to be a member...

…of the House.

I do not know why this is so.

[littlemissmartypants]

16. Oops, you're right. I forgot. My bad. Apologies. ❤️

7. I can usually discern some twisted reason

for Trump’s ignorant bullshit, but what is he trying to accomplish with the Terminate the Constitution stuff? Is that intended to gain him support?

[plimsoll]

8. It will show how far his die hard support is willing to go.

Hitler didn't believe they'd be able to take power peacefully before Hindenburg made him Chancellor. So realizing that there's probably no legal path to power, what option does a good fascist have?

17. Doesn't make a difference to his cult He's a god. He's their lord and savior

[markodochartaigh]

18. There is a Republican plan

to call a new Constitutional Convention. Maybe Trump has heard Republicans talking about that. A lot of people say it won't happen. A lot of people have been saying a lot of things wouldn't happen.

21. Thanks for this link.

The article offers a good, concise summary of the facts surrounding a potential Constitutional Convention, and the dangers it would pose. It concludes by advising people to support efforts in their state to rescind longstanding convention applications, and thus avert the danger:

There are ways to address money in politics, government accountability and other important issues without opening up the Constitution to other major changes. States can protect constitutional rights by rescinding their applications for an Article V convention. Given how close we are to wealthy special interests calling a convention, rescinding a state’s convention application is more important now than ever.

By rescinding previous Article V convention applications, some of which were passed decades ago, legislators are making a commonsense update to where the state stands. That’s why so many rescission resolutions in states across the country have passed with bipartisan support.

Legal and constitutional scholars from both sides of the political spectrum agree that legislatures have the power to rescind their previous applications for an Article V convention, which means they will no longer be counted towards any calls for a convention.

24. Slowly but surely

Their own stupidity keeps them from getting further down the road with this sedition.

Flipping four state houses while the r thugs flipped none--in what was supposed to be a "bad" midterm year for Democrats--gave us a bit more cushion. Democrats have also flipped more governors in recent years than the thugs as well. They would have played a key role for some states in one of those idiotic conventions.

We need to concentrate on the state houses in the next decade, rather than pouring most of our resources into the "big" statewide races like governor or Senator. Not that those aren't important, but we'll save the country by getting the legislatures out of the hands of the r thugs.

There’s a lot of things we can argue about, but in this area we can have each other’s backs.

20. Good comments

It is heartening to see other Americans as disgusted as I am over this fool, although I am mainly laughing as he continues to provide more and more proof that he is an enemy to our way of life.

19. tRump is peak narcissism

Only someone as selfish, egocentric, and demented as he would think they are superior to 200+ years of their own country’s system of government….

22. key word "honest"

she just touched on the problem with her party

[Walleye]

23. Doesn't have to throw out the constitution to get a new election

He just has to wait two years, he can run and we can beat his ass again. If an election is what he wants, we love beating him

[Genki Hikari]

26. I don't agree with this woman on much of anything

But when it comes to defending this country from traitors like that...thing, we are 100% in agreement.
