Donald Trump initially said Kamala Harris shouldnât be âallowedâ to run against him. Now he wants her âforced offâ the campaign trail.
âŚ
Ahead of Election Day 2020, Trump said Joe Biden shouldnât have been âallowedâ to run for president. In July 2024, he said Kamala Harris shouldnât be âallowedâ to run, either.
Four months later, as a HuffPost report noted, the former president insisted that the Democratic vice president should now be âforced offâ the campaign trail.
In recent weeks, as the GOP nominee has struggled to come up with a coherent closing message, heâs fixated on a handful of preoccupations, including his desire to see Biden return to the ballot, his baseless â60 Minutesâ conspiracy theory and his insistence that Harris should stop running against him.

If your country is in a place where you donât think banning felons from holding elected office is good because you are worried that the legislative branch will weaponize the judicial branch to stop their opposition from running, then Iâd suggest that the problem isnât one that laws can fix
It was a forethought, it was intentional. The âfounding fathersâ may have been super naive and absurd in some situations, but this is one they got correct. You donât want to let the government decide who gets to run in that way because that will almost always be abused no matter what the current society is like.
There are specific situations like what Colorado tried with Trump that makes sense and have a legal history, he was part of an insurrection, but for âstandardâ felonies itâs best that we donât go down that road.
nevermind standard felonies. if it were almost any other federal position with access to classified material heâd never get a clearance, along with many other politicians; strictly based on business deals with foreign powers, debt and erratic behavior. why these people donât have to go through the same minimum, non-political checks for access as other federal workers is beyond me⌠at the very least, he just doesnât meet the minimum qualifications for access to material needed to perform his job.
If I understand correctly (however dumb I think it is) âweâ give him clearance by voting for him. We are supposed to be that check.
Thatâs one place the founders fucked up, but also their system of elections was much different than it is now. I for one wouldnât even be able to vote since I donât own land⌠They never expected complete fucking morons and propagandized asshats to be voting. I believe they also expected the electors of the electoral college to override a vote for someone as bat shit crazy as TrumpâŚ
Gonna need a supervolcano eruption.
