Trump Asks Federal Appeals Court To Dismiss 2020 Election Case

/3 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump asked a federal appeals court late on Saturday to dismiss special counsel Jack Smith‘s case accusing the former president of unlawfully plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Trump has “absolute immunity from prosecution for his official acts” as president, including him seeking to “advocate for and defend the integrity of the federal election, in accord with his view that it was tainted by fraud and irregularity,” Trump’s lawyers argued in a 71-page filing.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, previously rebuffed Trump’s immunity claim, saying the defendant’s “four-year service as Commander in Chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens.” The judge also rejected Trump’s First Amendment defense.

Trump’s legal team filed an appeal on the immunity claim. They also requested a pause in the proceedings, which was then granted. Smith’s team responded by asking the appeals court to consider the immunity claim on an expedited basis. The appellate court accepted the request and oral arguments are scheduled for January 9.

Latest Presidential Polls: Trump Posts His Largest Lead in GOP Primary, Consistently Tops Biden in General Election

/2 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump has hit his largest GOP primary polling lead in the Real Clear Politics average of national polls as he also enjoys a consistent lead over President Joe Biden in a hypothetical 2024 general election matchup.

Trump is polling at a dominant 63.8% in RCP’s average of national Republican primary polls as of Friday morning. The former president holds a 52-point lead over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (11.6%), who has dropped nearly three points since last month and is now neck-and-neck with former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (10.8%).

The Republican candidates are just weeks away from their first true test in the Iowa caucuses on January 15 and then the first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire on January 23. Trump’s polling lead in Iowa stands at 32 points as he pulls 51.3% support to DeSantis’ 18.6% and Haley’s 16.1%. In New Hampshire, Trump has a less comfortable lead, sitting at 46.3% while Haley comes in second at 24.8%.

The latest polls of Iowa and New Hampshire showed Haley on an upward trajectory. In Iowa, the former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. was tied with DeSantis for second place at 17% in the latest InsiderAdvantage poll, while she led DeSantis 17% to 15% in an Emerson survey conducted last weekend. The most recent Fox Business poll of Iowa showed DeSantis leading Haley 18% to 16% while Trump remained the dominant leader at 52%.

Democrats Privately Admit the Inevitable After Colorado Bars Trump From Ballot: ‘Attempting Election Interference’

/3 Comments/in , /by

Democrats are privately upset with the Colorado Supreme Court because they believe the ruling that bars Donald Trump from the Colorado ballot will ultimately help the former president.

The message of President Joe Biden’s campaign is clear: Trump is an existential threat to American democracy. But officials in the Biden administration and Biden campaign fear the Colorado Supreme Court has undercut that narrative.

NBC News, citing sources, reported that officials in both the White House and Biden campaign are “pissed” with the Colorado Supreme Court because the ruling makes it look “like Colorado is attempting election interference through non-elected Democratic-appointed justices with funding from ‘shady left-wing donors.'”

In fact, Democratic officials are so worried about the political ramifications of the ruling that they hope Supreme Court justices unanimously rule in Trump’s favor if and when they hear an appeal of the Colorado decision.

“We all hope Biden wakes up on Christmas morning to an A3 story in the Delaware News Journal saying that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in favor of Trump,” a Democratic source told NBC News.

Biden-Harris 2024 Campaign Likens Trump to Hitler

/5 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign accused former President Donald Trump of “parroting” Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, likening statements of the two in a highly inflammatory social media post Wednesday featuring images of both side by side.

The official Biden-Harris rapid response X (formerly Twitter) account posted the graphic, which compares statements of Hitler with Trump’s, along with the caption “Trump parrots Hitler.” . . .

The previous day, Biden claimed the rhetoric Trump uses “reminds us of the language coming out of Germany in the ‘30s.”

Hours earlier, attorney-author Mike Godwin, who coined “Godwin’s Law,” asserted that it is perfectly okay to compare the former president to the Nazi leader.

Pollster Believes Colorado Decision Will Only Help Trump

/4 Comments/in , /by

The decision to kick former President Trump off of the Colorado 2024 ballot has voters fuming over the state’s intent to play political games.

Republican pollster Frank Luntz predicts that Colorado’s politically motivated shakeup will cause Trump to garner even more support than he has now, believing it will only help him in the long run.

During an interview with CNN, Luntz predicted that Trump is “now even more likely to beat Biden” in the upcoming election.

“It’s going to be exactly what the indictments did. It’s going to be exactly what the criticisms have done. Donald Trump thrives on negativity. He thrives on legal systems that try to hold him accountable, and I’m convinced that his polling numbers are going to go up,” Luntz said, pointing to a recent New York Times poll that showed Trump leading Biden in six swing states beyond the margin of error.

Luntz pointed out that the more Trump is attacked, the more he is prosecuted and condemned, and the higher his polling numbers climb. (Read more from “Pollster Believes Colorado Decision Will Only Help Trump” HERE)

Trump Lawyer ‘Not Even Concerned’ About Radical Ruling From Colorado

/5 Comments/in , /by

A lawyer for President Donald Trump says she’s “not even concerned” about a radical leftist ruling from Democrat judges on the Colorado Supreme Court, who want Trump banned from the state’s GOP primary.

The stunning decision that ignored the Constitution’s requirement for due process and court precedent and congressional intent was announced yesterday to the delight of those weaponizing the court system against Trump, and guffaws from those with a more constitutional perspective.

Trump lawyer Alina Habba was asked about the situation, and she predicted the Supreme Court will address the state court’s political activism quickly, and the result “could be” 9-0 for Trump.

“This is the problem that I face very day … judges want to make a name for themselves. They think they’re pioneers for the liberal radical left. You’re not a pioneer, you’re going to look ridiculous,” she said. . .

She added, “There is no question in my mind, due process exists for a reason. There has to be some America left… I’m not even concerned.”

Democracy Under Attack: Colorado Supreme Court Disqualifies Trump From 2024 Ballot; GOP Candidate: I Will Withdraw from State Primary if Trump Not Allowed on Ballot

/3 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a 4-3 opinion that the Constitution’s “Insurrection Clause” prohibits former President Donald Trump from appearing on the ballot for the presidency in 2024.

“The court found by clear and convincing evidence that President Trump engaged in insurrection as those terms are used in Section Three” of the Fourteenth Amendment, the ruling reads.

The provocative ruling partially reverses a prior ruling from Colorado District Court Judge Sarah Wallace, who ruled in November that Trump is not an officer of the United States as defined by the Fourteenth Amendment and that the Amendment therefore cannot be used to disqualify him from appearing on the Colorado primary ballot.

In his dissent, Chief Justice Boatright wrote, “Dismissal is particularly appropriate here because the Electors brought their challenge without a determination from a proceeding (e.g., a prosecution for an insurrection-related offense) with more rigorous procedures to ensure adequate due process.”

In partially reversing Wallace, the Court all but dared the U.S. Supreme Court to step in by January 4, 2024. (Read more from “Democracy Under Attack: Colorado Supreme Court Disqualifies Trump From 2024 Ballot” HERE)

Vivek Ramaswamy on Colorado Ruling: I Will Withdraw from State Primary if Trump Not Allowed on Ballot

By Breitbart. Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has pledged to withdraw from the Colorado state primary in response to the recent ruling that bars former President Trump from being on the ballot.

As Breitbart News reported on Tuesday, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled “in a 4-3 opinion that the Constitution’s ‘Insurrection Clause’ prohibits former President Donald Trump from appearing on the ballot for the presidency in 2024.”

“The court found by clear and convincing evidence that President Trump engaged in insurrection as those terms are used in Section Three” of the Fourteenth Amendment, the ruling read.

The ruling will partially reverse a previous ruling from Colorado District Court Judge Sarah Wallace, who ruled in November that the Fourteenth Amendment would not apply in the case of former President Trump being that he is not an officer of the United States as was defined at the time of the amendment’s ratification following the Civil War.

In his statement released on X, Ramaswamy called the ruling a true “attack on democracy,” characterizing it as “a cabal of Democrat judges” seeking to bar the former president from the 2024 election.

Trump Campaign Responds to Colorado’s Latest Anti-Democratic Ballot Move

/6 Comments/in , /by

Although many states have tried to do so by citing a portion of the 14th Amendment that speaks to insurrectionists, Colorado is the first to actually do so. The Trump campaign quickly responded via a statement from spokesperson Steven Cheung, which indicated they “will swiftly file an appeal to the United States Supreme Court and a concurrent request for a stay of this deeply undemocratic decision.”

Cheung’s statement began by pointing out the statement wasn’t exactly shocking. “Unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, supporting a Soros-funded, left-wing group’s scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump’s name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice,” it read.

The statement continued by speaking to what the campaign is certain is the motivation here, as Trump looks likely to win not only the Republican nomination, but the general election. “Democrat Party leaders are in a state of paranoia over the growing, dominant lead President Trump has amassed in the polls. They have lost faith in the failed Biden presidency and are now doing everything they can to stop the American voters from throwing them out of office next November,” it read.

According to RealClearPolitics (RCP), Trump has a lead of +50.8 in the Republican primary and a lead of +3.0 in the general election against President Joe Biden for a hypothetical rematch of 2020.

Colorado GOP Threatens Primary Cancellation Over Trump Ballot Removal

/5 Comments/in , /by

The Colorado Republican Party issued a stern warning on Tuesday night, asserting that if former President Donald Trump were excluded from the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot, the party would cancel the primary altogether. This announcement came in response to a pivotal decision by the Colorado Supreme Court, which ruled 4-3 to remove Trump from the ballot, citing his alleged inflated involvement in the January 6, 2021 insurrection.

The court’s ruling, temporarily placed on hold until January 4 pending appeal, declared that Trump’s actions on January 6 amounted to an insurrection, disqualifying him from holding the office of President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Consequently, the court asserted that listing Trump as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot would be a violation of the Election Code.

In a response Tuesday night, the Colorado Republican Party stated, “We will withdraw from the Primary as a Party and convert to a pure caucus system if this is allowed to stand.”

The Colorado Supreme Court justified its decision by citing “substantial evidence” of a concerted and public use of force or threat of force on January 6, hindering the peaceful transfer of power and constituting an insurrection. In response, 2024 GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has vowed to withdraw from Colorado’s state primary if former President Donald Trump is removed.

The Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling is an attack on democracy that will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the state’s electoral process.

Biden White House Gets Media to Spread Nazi-Style Propaganda That Trump Is Hitler

/4 Comments/in , /by

Democrats and their friends in the news media have temporarily moved on from the tiresome “Donald Trump is a threat to democracy!” storyline to the all-too-original “Trump is Hitler!”

Making this effort particularly unique, they’re so open about the coordination. The media are usually at least partially discreet about deceiving, lying, and manipulating, but for reasons unclear they’re all perfectly fine with this episode being a transparent conspiracy between the White House and the Washington press.

The big reveal came Tuesday in a Politico article headlined, “Why Biden’s campaign keeps linking Trump to Hitler.” The story stated in earnest that Biden’s campaign “has entered a surreal routine” of “calling [Donald Trump] out” for deploying rhetoric “that historians say reeks of fascism.”

By “historians,” Politico naturally means “White House-approved ‘experts’ who will dutifully repeat that Trump is Hitler.” Sure enough, the story went on to assert “historians say that Trump’s recent comments about immigrants — as well as those likening his political foes to ‘vermin’ — have echoed Hitler’s words.”

For the extra mentally impaired (90 percent of Politico readers), the article explicitly quoted Biden’s campaign communications director claiming that Trump is “going to echo the rhetoric of Hitler and Mussolini, and we’re going to make sure that people understand just how serious that is every single time.” (Read more from “Biden White House Gets Media to Spread Nazi-Style Propaganda That Trump Is Hitler” HERE)
