“However not convincing.” Well, no one cares if it’s convincing to you (or anyone else other than a superior court). You would agree with me that a commander at the military level is an officer, correct? Is the president not the “Commander-in-Chief?”

So, the CO GOP couldn’t put another candidate on the ballot because Trump was disqualified via CO election laws? If Arizona, Wisconsin, or any state wanted to disqualify a candidate base on their state election laws, that’s well within their right to do so. If done, which is what happened here, then it’ll be appealed to the SCOTUS for an interpretation against the Constitution. The CO Supreme Court issued a stay for their decision until 4 Jan for Trump’s attorneys to file an appeal to the SCOTUS, which they’ll do. It’s a Constitutional interpretation that’s never happened before with the 14th Amendment, the CO Supreme Court just set it up. It was also a 5-4 opinion, so it wasn’t without dissent within the court.

Who said we don’t want to participate in an election? The CO Supreme Court just held to disqualify a candidate via our state election laws.

You doing think someone that swears in via the Oath of Office isn’t some type of officer? Their analysis on the topic starts on PDF Pg. 70 to 89. https://www.courts.state.co.us/userfiles/file/Court_Probation/Supreme_Court/Opinions/2023/23SA300.pdf

He was charged with “incitement of insurrection” during his second impeachment, which he was acquitted of. He’s literally receiving due process by being able to appeal to higher level courts. The interesting focus I believe the SCOTUS look at is can one be disqualified via the Insurrection Clause of the 14th Amendment after being acquitted either in a criminal trial or impeachment trial? The clause just has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof” and doesn’t say “convicted of insurrection.” However, to me, that’s foolish to disqualify someone due to something when they had due process via a jury of their peers or the Senate and acquitted of it.

He’s still on the ballot if he appeals to the SCOTUS (which he’ll do) before 4 Jan 24.

No, he is.

What a fucking idiot. Hopefully, his line number disappears and he can go cry into retirement. https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/11/02/he-sees-all-white-people-as-racist-military-assessment-critiques-air-force-colonels-leadership/

Pretty straightforward. https://www.tsp.gov/publications/tspfs05.pdf

By "struggling" do you mean by not having big double-digit wins against ranked opponents like Oregon, Oregon State, and Utah? I guess? They beat ranked opponents Oregon twice, USC, Utah, and Oregon State. Florida State dominated LSU, beat Louisville by nine points, and beat Clemson, the only ranked opponents they've played. Florida State's strength of schedule is 55th while Washington's is 11th and Alabama's 5th. Florida State almost blew a 21-point lead on Boston College, needed overtime against Clemson, and trailed at home in the second half to Duke before Riley Leonard exited with an injury. Texas also beat Alabama. Alabama beat the reigning two-year champion, Georgia. Ultimately, the committee wasn't going to let Alabama, who just beat the #1 team in the SEC Championship, or an undefeated Washington team who beat a Top 10 Oregon twice to include the PAC-10 Championship, sit at home and give it to an ACC team who played weaker opponents. Why? Too much money left on the table and the people didn't want to see an FSU team just boat-raced by a stronger SEC, Big 12, PAC-10, or Big 10 team.,

They sure did, then got boat raced by Georgia. I’m not saying it’s right, because it’s not, but do you believe if FSU made it to the natty, they’d be competitive against any of the other three teams?

You can blame TCU’s ass whipping in the Natty last year on why FSU was left out this year.

Watching 30 year old Bo Nix’s 12 year college career come to an end with a loss was great* *if they don’t go to a bowl

It’s going to be rough on the Cowboys since they can’t beat a team above .500.

Barry Sanders, Thurman Thomas, and I are alumni of the same school (Go Pokes!)

If FSU loses without Travis, it exposes the frauds they are. With the exception of the first week of that beating of LSU, they've played unranked nobodies. That's hard for the committee when the OSU/UM game loser had a tougher schedule/conference. If FSU barely beats or loses UF this week I believe the committee will rank the loser of the OSU/UM will still rank higher than FSU.

What check(s) did he hook you on?

Saw this dude on the tanker meme IG.

If this goes go a general court martial, I’m curious if he’ll pick a bench trial with only a judge, or they’ll have to find a panel of three and four stars?

As 19 AF/CC, he would’ve probably crushed any rated officer instructor for anything like that with a student. ”Rules for thee, not for me.”

While he was the Vice at Seymour, I ran into him at at the BX while I was TDY there as a contractor and said “Ratner and I have a message for you,” then gave him the finger and told him to fuck off. He got red faced and stormed away.

What is the conviction rate of someone charged with an Art 120 offense and actually found guilty of said Article 120 offense? Not someone charged with a 120 and found guilty of Article 92 because during the “investigation” OSI found out the accused didn’t register a gun living on base 6-9 assignments ago. The latter seems to be the conviction stat padding SVC/SARC’s like to do.

Did the country stay together when Nixon resigned before he was impeached? There is a process to run the country if the president either leaves office abruptly or is removed. Do you think as many people are going to start overrunning the Capitol again when they’ve seen a lot of those that did during 1/6 prosecuted and thrown in federal prison? Are you the only one that feels that way on here, of course not, this place is an echo chamber of certain political stances. But this is also forum of people saying how Biden was going to be 25 Amendement’d so Harris could take over and this was some master DNC plan to do so. I don’t like Trump because he only cares about Trump. He doesn’t care about the DNC or RNC, he cares about retaining the power and the “unique” abilities that comes with being POTUS (like not being federal indicted while in office and if it were to happen, pardoning himself and his cronies). It’s easy to believe that the election was rigged when your own advisors and attorneys are telling you that you lost and you just disregard them and surround yourself with your echo chamber. His policies being better are subjective, as always. https://www.cato.org/commentary/grading-trumps-economic-policies It will be up to the RNC to see if they support Trump as a nominee or not. The best thing for them to do is cut ties, like most of them have, with Trump and let him rot. How’s that Speaker election going for Jim Jordan with his fellow Republicans, losing votes every time he was up for a vote? It’s people like Jordan, who refuse to acknowledge that the election wasn’t stolen, that the RNC needs to rid themselves of and press. Unfortunately, DeSantis isn’t doing so hot, so it will be very interesting the next year.
