I’m just trying to help. Elon seems to be going through some challenges in the various things he wants to do to hurt his $44 Billion dollar investment. Recently, he decided to try a name change. You know, so nobody has ever even heard of his site before. Zero name recognition really ought to help, you know? So he went with ‘X.’

Transitionally, I think he should do a “mash-up” name. I propose ‘TwiX…” Mars, Inc. may not like it but I don’t think people will confuse the candy with the Web site…

When ‘Indictment 2 – The Diverted Documents’ case dropped, Jack Smith asked for a trial date of December 11, 2023. That’s pretty much the very fastest he could reasonably expect a trial date. The “judge” in that case, “Oh-how-I-WISH-I-could-be-your-beloved, Aileen “loose” Cannon” set it back a bit, to May 24, pretty much the slowest she could reasonably justify.

Smith did the same thing with ‘Indictment 3 – The DC Caper.’ He asked for a trial date of January 2, 2024. Again, pretty much the very fastest he could reasonably expect a trial date. Frankly, I think he missed the boat on that one, by about 4 days. I think it would have been poetic justice for the trial regarding January 6th, 2021 to begin on January 6th, 2024…

Okay, so, lots of excitement on the left over what these two Federalist bigwigs – two of the biggest wigs in the Federalist society, wrote. Well, at least they were bigwigs yesterday. As of their writing, I’m sure they’re persona non grata in conservative circles. RINOS. Sell-outs. (It’s the fate that rational people face if they question anything MAGA…)

What University of Chicago professor William Baude and University of St. Thomas professor Michael Stokes Paulson wrote is that paragraph 3 of the 14 Amendment is automatic – it doesn’t need anything extra to be invoked and (they wrote) because Donald J. Trump engaged in insurrection and rebellion, he’s already disqualified to hold public office. The left is all dancing and singing. Oh, what fun! Yes! Disqualify the guy.

Sorry to be a wet blanket but these are Federalist Society bigwigs. Here’s an opportunity for critics to point out, as they often do, that I’m no lawyer. True. I still have no respect for the qualifications of Federalist Society judges. If you hear a ridiculous ruling coming from some “judge,” you can bet that judge is a Federalist Society judge. They’re not taught law. They’re taught conservative law, which is always somehow different. They get close to the actual law. Then? They just miss it. Here’s what I mean.

Yeah, sure, paragraph 3 of the 14 Amendment IS automatic – but (and this is critical) only AFTER a conviction, right? Despite MAGA’s best efforts, this is STILL the United States and we STILL use the ‘innocent until proven guilty’ standard. I DO NOT WANT people just pointing their fingers, declaring someone an insurrectionist, and disqualifying them from holding office. You gotta prove it. IN. COURT.

MAGAs and other Anti-American types have made an art form of twisting words and ideas to mean things they don’t otherwise mean. Do you think they would hesitate to point at Joe (or any other potential opponent) and declare him or her a rebel? If some state official could just disqualify a potential candidate based on “feels,” no blue candidate would ever make the ballot in a red state again. Remember, these guys don’t need no stinkin’ evidence. They’d just level the charge and strike the name. By the time the courts settled it, the election could well be over.

I’ll tell you this: Defendant Donald Trump deserves his day in court, just like anybody else. I believe the evidence will show he DID engage in insurrection and rebellion but we need to wait for the trial before imposing punishments, if warranted, of any kind…
