I just think the Democratic leadership are much smarter and proficient at planning and thinking ahead than the Republican leadership (if such a group exists). Based on that edge I believe they have the competentency, will, and the way, plus the need and motivation to coordinate the various court cases and the State ballot actions to remove Trump. I might be giving them too much credit but I'm sticking with the idea for now.

I hear what you're saying but even in the event of a self-executing section of the Constitution there still appears to be prerequisites missing. And that is the establishment of insurrection and the guilt of a specific party, in this case Trump, in that act. To date I'm not aware of either. As this was established as the result of the Civil War its pretty clear how it applies in that case. Articles of succession, military conflict, war, etc., and those that participating in those events How it applies to J6 is less clear. Some might say there's no such thing as a coincidence and in this case my curiosity is peaked by the constant references to J6 as "the biggest threat to our democracy since the Civil War" from day one. Its almost like there was a "plan" immediately in place to use an interpretation of A14.S3 that could and would be applied years later in legal/political actions against J6ers and Trump. Personally, making a review of history I think Pearl Harbor and WW2 were the biggest threats to our democracy since the Civil War, maybe the Cuban Missile Crisis next.

Section 3 is pretty clear on scope. Naming specific roles and titles covered by the section. The President is not specifically named and a logical explanation can be made that this was intentional. Because the Senate has jurisdiction over trials involving the President. And J6 occured still on Trump's watch. How can a President still in office lead a rebellion or insurrection against himself? That said, the indiscretion could fall under some other act. The other concept you avoid is due process. A foundation of our legal system. Self executing? Is that even a thing in our legal system? Even a guy getting a parking ticket can request a hearing before a judge. But for high crimes it's a short cut from accusation to punishment bypassing the legal process inbetween. I expect SCOTUS will avoid any blanket ruling and will more or less say the State of Colorado has no standing to bar Trump from the ballot.

All that begs an answer to the unasked question. Who is the real President? And what's the implication for our system of democracy where an unelected shadow group (surely everyone around President Biden, cabinet members, staff, agency heads know what's going on) running and setting policy and action? I don't know what to call it besides treason.

I think they presented it in the best possible way by demonstrating they performed a credible investigation while making some remarks and observations to show a degree of balance and objectivity. Personally, I had no expectation of anything else. I'm not a big fan of these document classification issues. Annually the US government classifies around 34 million documents as secret or confidential. I wonder who they're hiding all this info from. I think it's us.

Presiding over the DOJ managing the investigation and other federal agencies involved helps too.

I think the long and short of it all is he should be charged in the document investigation but he's too mentally feeble to face charges. However, in our alternate reality of America 2024 he's as fit as a fiddle to hold the office of President of the United States of America and defacto leader of the free world. I should add, the only way this report would not have been released unless his handlers at the DNC had pre-approved the conclusions. We can debate that but I think this signals their intent to dump Joe and Kamala.

I think the charge would be disrupting an official proceeding but I'm not sure if anybody got charged for that act on J6.

Biden is going to do what? Storm the capitol? Most likely he'll fall down the steps and sue. And a guy that said just this week in public statements that he spoke to Mitterrand of France and Kohl of Germany a few years ago when both have been long dead isn't mentally up to the task of doing anything but choosing his pudding flavor for the day. If you're putting faith in this guy you might want to get a mental health evaluation.

Leftist have gone to war against humor because making fun of their many foolish notions is both fun and what they might say are microaggressions. Al Bundy would certainly be cancelled and his No Maam organization declared an extremist group. And I'll wager none of the leftists ever scored 4 touchdowns in a single game either!

The fact you believe these examples are representative of the majority of traditional American moderates provides an insight into your irrational thinking.

We need a power back to compliment Cook if for nothing else than to take the short yardage carries Allen has been taking. Subjecting your franchise QB to avoidable hits should be a priority especially as Allen gets closer to 30.

Many of the idiots here think charges, or dare we say a conviction, of such an offense is not necessary to be excluded from the ballot under the 14th. Just say the magic word insurrection enough times is all that's required. While I have pointed out that violates the foundation of our entire legal system based on due process that concept is something they fail to comprehend. Let's see what SCOTUS says today.

Don't be offended. In the eyes of the American left idiot class anyone politically to the right of Lenin and Mao are right wing extremists. MAGA is a term they use to describe what used to be called Moderates.

The MSM loves to throw around "Democracy" but it's really just equivalent to a con man saying to you 'trust me".

If Biden actually did something constructive regarding the border chaos it would be both shocking and a refreshing change.

The motivation was much more self-serving. Isolate Russia both geographically and economically while seizing an opportunity to bring NATO troops and weapons into Ukraine. Use Ukrainian forces as a proxy for this effort and avoid any unpopular use of American forces in direct combat operations. Americans are much more compliant to the commitment of billions in borrowed money than they are an ounce of blood. At this point the war effort seems lost and more billions isn't going to do much to change that outcome. They blew up the NordStream pipeline to eliminate the possibility of greater economic integration and cooperation between Germany and Russia. Germany could not be allowed to pursue an independent path and losing Germany from the alliance would be fatal to its future. The fact there's not been a peep out of their government about destroying their source of cheap gas and the adverse impact its had on their industry and citizens is testimony to the relationship between Berlin and Washington. And for that matter most of Europe. These nation states are not our allies or partners but rather territories or vassal states that do the bidding of the empire without question. Now don't get me wrong. As an American I'm fully aware that I've benefited from this Imperial arrangement and its in my best interests for it to continue. Just as you have benefited and we all have here. Yet I understand Washington's motivation is not altruistic but carried out in self-interest. But I also see world events unfolding and I understand the current arrangements are not going to last much longer. Its in the best interests of us peons to prepare and mitigate as much as possible the negative consequences of this arrangement ending. Rather than cheer lead for these conflicts and get distracted from what else is happening. There's a lot more to this but I'm getting way too off topic already.

If he desired, Biden could simply issue a Presidential executive order declaring a state of emergency and shut the border down.

As did the Democrats after 2018 mid-terms. The more things change the more they stay the same.

The appeasement argument is an academic exercise. You can't know that any action you take today will produce a positive result of stopping the next Hitler (i.e. Putin) and keeping Europe free or negative result leading to a worse scenario such as escalation to nuclear war that destroys all life on Earth. My view is pretty simple. You don't need to fight or win every battle, especially in situations where your direct interests are not threatened, to win the war. But that's what people supporting and advocating the interventionist model believe. Over time its a losing strategy that leaves you unprepared for the fight when the threats are more extreme. The wisdom in Washington is equivalent to a tennis player thinking they need to win every point of every game to win the match. Both are dumb strategies.

There's a lot of real estate in between a policy of getting involved in every dust-up everywhere vs. completely withdrawing from the international community. Presently, there's no voices in Washington willing to pass on any opportunity to get involved no matter the cost or the benefits. A problem with our endless interventionism is it has yielded little to no value vs. the cost in life and treasure. While typically leaving the target of our "help" in worse shape than they were before we got involved. My view is we need to do a better job of picking our spots based on a logical approach of assessing the threat any of these situations poses to America. One result I see with the current approach taking up every challenge every time, all the time, is that it will leave our fighting forces and arsenal of weaponry "punched out" when a substantial direct threat to America presents itself.

There's a major disconnect on the objective. The Biden administrations wants to support, assist, and continue the flow of migrants across the border while most Americans want it stopped ASAP.

It is in the national interest. Just not in the national interest of the United States of America. But its sure in the national interest of Israel and Ukraine as that's where the bulk of the money is targeted along with funds for drug cartels and NGO's to "help" with the flow of migrants. Which leaves table scraps for border security such as lower quotas for immigration which the Biden administration can't be trusted to enforce and legal maneuvers like moving all court cases to the DC District which will support anything the administration desires. None of this is necessary. All the President has to do is issue an executive order declaring a state of emergency to immediately shut down the border.

The American people are interested in what the DA and her staff were doing at the White House along with conversations and alleged information sharing and coaching with members of the J6 committee. If these seemingly separate legal actions are connected or coordinated in some way it begs the questions who's in charge of this effort inside the White House. A name I've seen floated out there is Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco. There's little to no information or transparency about what she actually does at the DOJ other than coordinate political attacks for the administration.

I'll wager to guess Russian intelligence isn't doing anything different from American intelligence which is why I don't trust anyone involved in Intelligence services anywhere.
