@GottaLaff@mastodon.social NPR had a rather terrible report of these, referring to “novel interpretations” of Section 3 of the 14th.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social The media is failing once again to report the probable loss of GOP House and Senate seats. Insurrectionists will lose their congressional seats. They may even find themselves in prison.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social I wondered when we’d start seeing more than just Trump potentially have consequences from Jan 6. Keep them coming and hope something actually happens

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social I guess you could consider any interpretation novel if it’s the first time a former President wanted to stay on as dictator and a Congressman was stupid enough to try to help him.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social I never thought I’d see it expand. Hallelujah!. Two down, 118 more such lawsuits to go to get all the insurrectionists out. Before November. Tick-tock.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social finally! How depressing it is that this has to be "filed by a local Dem activist" now, rather than having the Democratic party fight 3 years ago to eject this fucker, and others like him whose continuance in office is clearly unconstitutional

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social I’m wondering if this action will bring the text messages into the light sooner than Jack Smith might have. Perry is a traitor and deserves everything he gets.
