Wrong. I expect the ulta-conservative Supreme Court to rule against it, which will show that all this talk of states rights is nothing but political theater pulled out when it suits the issue.
I misspoke

you are already whining about how our country is not democratic, even before the SCOTUS ruling

I hate to see what America will look like in 10 years and beyond! :eek:
A lot depends on what happens next year. A GOP victory doesn't mean thing will quickly change for the better, but a Biden victory means the following:

1. Kamala Harris becoming president in early 2025
2. Further deterioration in international relations. Deglobalism accelerates as more tariffs go into place, American imperialism ramps up, military spending continues to rise (guns and butter)
3. Trillions in new spending (if Dems take congress). US debt downgrades. Massive inflation, double-digit interest rates by 2030, and the threat of the US losing reserve-currency status. Basically a debt crisis with millions of job losses by 2030.
4. An attempt to implement racial taxation. Whites will pay an extra 10% of their income in taxes in the name of "equity". The issue will go to SCOTUS, but by that time the court will be packed
5. Open borders. 20 million new immigrants by 2030. Hospitals and schools overwhelmed. Refugee camps and tent cities across the country.
6. By 2030, effect one-party rule. In the remaining blue states, Republicans or third-parties won't even appear on the ballot. Write-ins will be prohibited. Democrats will cite "national security" as a pretense to keep other political parties off ballots.
7. Massive crime: cities like Chicago will see 8000 murders a year by 2030. Cashless bail and defunded police departments everywhere.
8. By 2030, Democrats will discuss nationalizing industries in order to distribute the profits and property in the name of "equity"
9. By 2030, Hate Speech laws will go into effect. The packed court will allow them. Anyone who criticizes Democratic politicians, the government, etc. will be subject to arrest

if all this sounds crazy, put a bookmark in the post and I will talk to you in a few years

Lost our minds because half of the country sees a grifter for what he is!

What does that mean? Are you jealous of Trump because he was successful?

Even if Trump was a con man then...are not we all guilty of sins? So what about Trumps past. Scripture says that the Lord puts kings and leaders into place, doesn't it? Just a thought...shouldn't we respect that in obedience to the Lord?

Let he who is among you that is without sin cast the first stone sound familiar? You scare me how you talk sometimes. The word on the street is that God chose Donald Trump to be His man and that Trump had a visitation and was given instructions. I thik maybe the enemy was able to steal the election from Trump because some of the people in the body were not praying for the man and instead talking against him.

I mean no offense, but only seek to give you caution in what you say! The power of life and death are in the tongue. So you are putting a curse upon Trump when you speak like that. Very negative energy that not only goes onto the one who is cursed but also upon your self as a seed of bitterness inside your own heart. Where if not removed, soon becomes a root of bitterness! You might be hurting yourself more than Trump even! Be careful Brother!

Seems like some pretty bold, oddly specific predictions, do you have any sources/citations to support any of this?

I'll be honest, this sounds like the sort things I'd expect to see on conspiracy websites.

Apparently, now the LT. Gov of California is calling for state to explore every legal option to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot.
Well, at least she's not calling for illegal options.

The CA Secretary of State (Shirley Weber) has faced lawsuits about the matter similar to the one in Colorado. Per LA Times:

Weber’s office has been sued four times over Trump’s right to ballot access. Plaintiffs in two of those cases have indicated they plan to drop them; one has recently been filed, and Weber has been removed as a defendant in a fourth, according to her office.

Despite the grandstanding from the Lt. Gov., I doubt Weber will do anything unless there's a court order.

From the "Well, gee, I'm shocked...who could've seen this coming" files

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) on Tuesday suggested taking President Biden off the ballot in Texas due to his handling of immigration, citing the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling to kick former President Trump off the state’s ballot.


I also read where Cali is now all also entertaining the option to keep Trump off the ballot.

While I don't see these moves by TX and Cali as likely to change the outcome of a General (it's not like we were going to see a Blue Texas and Red California in 2024), seems like a sketchy path things are going down.

Of course not. I am not jealous. I have BIG hands.
Even if Trump was a con man then...are not we all guilty of sins? So what about Trumps past. Scripture says that the Lord puts kings and leaders into place, doesn't it? Just a thought...shouldn't we respect that in obedience to the Lord?
Trump is a conman, and has no business running the country. Our laws in America are human's laws, and not handed down by God.
Let he who is among you that is without sin cast the first stone sound familiar? You scare me how you talk sometimes. The word on the street is that God chose Donald Trump to be His man and that Trump had a visitation and was given instructions. I thik maybe the enemy was able to steal the election from Trump because some of the people in the body were not praying for the man and instead talking against him.
Trump cast stones like a mountain landslide.
I mean no offense, but only seek to give you caution in what you say! The power of life and death are in the tongue. So you are putting a curse upon Trump when you speak like that. Very negative energy that not only goes onto the one who is cursed but also upon your self as a seed of bitterness inside your own heart. Where if not removed, soon becomes a root of bitterness!

This religious shaming does not affect me one bit. Keep your pearls in your pocket. A am an old white guy....bitterness is what we do best.

I don't need to bookmark it, because that's what they said about Obama.

You don’t support Biden?
I'm kinda meh on him honestly. But even leaving that aside, I don't really see him doing anything that can realistically be called participating in an insurrection or rebellion.

Actually we are at about 50. I think you mean unauthorized immigrants, but if the border is truly open then they wouldn't be unauthorized at all would they? But even if that were the case, expecting the amount of immigrants in the US to increase 40% in just 5 years seems a bit unlikely. Not to mention most of the other things you mentioned.

851,508 apprehensions recorded (October 2018-September 2019)
3,600,000 in 2024 (10,000 a day)
The numbers lately have been 12,000 to 18,000 a day.
It is off topic but interesting fact

Indeed. The topic is the Colorado decision to remove Trump from their primary ballot.

I am not sure how border apprehensions have anything to do with the topic.

It wasn’t me that mentioned them and Biden gave aid and comfort to Iran by releasing funds to them (as long as we’re playing fast and loose with the constitution)

How does that action align with the definition of "insurrection" discussed by the Colorado Supreme Court? (as long as we're playing fast and loose with definitions)
