Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

There's a very real chance he's not found to be ineligible, and runs. It sounds like in that scenario, he's slightly favored to win.
Trump's eligibility is going to be decided by a judicial system that he spent his previous term stacking. He's going to face zero repercussions if he is elected again, and then heads will start rolling for everyone who stood in his way.
If the Supreme Court finds him eligible then I’m pretty sure heads will roll before the election.
Don't look now, but Trump fascists have already started cutting off heads.
Its amazing how the right thinks its going to be so asymmetrical. Biden can just get of them all and DT in that case. I fucking dare them to open those floodgates
That's actually a different case.
Yes, sorry I'm mixing up the Civil case from Colorado which is the subject of whether he is ineligible after directing Jan 6 and the DC criminal case where he's claiming presidential immunity or something to that effect.
So many cases, its starting to run together haha
Even if true, I don't see the Supreme Court making him ineligible without a conviction, and I don't see them marking him an insurrectionist while the court case is still pending.
Doesn't require any of that. Read the 14th, his culpabillity is already an established fact (even at the lowest level, nobody disagrees that he is culpable and satisfies the criteria in 14th -> ineligible).
It's not an established fact until it goes through a court of law. The 14th was for Confederates who actively joined an organization against the federal government.
Trump took action from WITHIN the federal government. It's not the same thing at all. He never signed articles of Confederation against the government which was all the proof they needed back then.
The only person revoved from office under the 14th so far was adjudicated to have been an insurrectionist:

Yeah, unfortunately there's zero chance they're going to make him ineligible. Certainly not in time for it to matter.
I wouldn't be anywhere near as worried if Biden weren't pulling this Palestine crap. Obviously people aren't going to change their vote over what's going here but voter apathy is a thing.
This is going to be yet another all hands on board election coming up, and some of that gerrymandering got worse.
I truly hope nothing there gets derailed.
"Complete Presidential Immunity" is a different SCotUS case unless you're implying that Biden should also attempt an insurrection.
Legally speaking, this is what they should do, but it wouldn't be the first time they've gone against legal precedence or the plain language of the Constitution.
That's a different SCotUS case, I agree with you on that one.
