Democrat Secretary Of State Kicks Trump Off Maine Ballot - Isn't it the very definition of 'tyranny' that one person unilaterally decides that the residents of Maine do not deserve democracy?

Excerpt:
"A day after former president Trump's lawyers demanded the Maine secretary of state recuse herself from her upcoming decision on the former president’s ballot eligibility under the 14th Amendment - citing her past statements about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot; Shenna Bellows - a Democrat - has kicked Trump off the state's primary ballot.

The letter from Trump's lawyers seeking Bellows' recusal cites two social media posts Bellows issued the day Trump was acquitted in his second impeachment trial, which concerned the Capitol riot.

“The Jan 6 insurrection was an unlawful attempt to overthrow the results of a free and fair election. Today 57 Senators including King & Collins found Trump guilty. That’s short of impeachment but nevertheless an indictment. The insurrectionists failed, and democracy prevailed,” Bellows wrote on Twitter, the platform now known as X.

The letter also takes aim at a post Bellows issued on the one-year anniversary of Jan. 6, in which she reposted a news report highlighting Bellows’s efforts to protect election workers.

“One year after the violent insurrection, it’s important to do all we can to safeguard our elections,” Bellows wrote.

Thus, the lawyers argued, Bellows "has already passed judgment" on Trump's "core assumptions."



But, as The Hill reports, unlike other states, where plaintiffs have sued over Trump’s eligibility in court, Maine’s system first allows the secretary of state to weigh in - unilaterally, Judge Dredd-style.

As she explains, 'she is the law!'

Shenna Bellows, who was never popularly elected statewide, says the usual rules of evidence don't apply to her newly-invented procedure, which is governed by Maine administrative law, therefore authorizing her to accept the Jan 6 Committee Report as admissible probative evidence"

Another Deep State agent twists the law to protect the unconstitutional powers of the Deep State.
Try her for treason and when found guilty execute her.

    Please also note that the US is the only place in the world where the people have not yet been disarmed by their tyrannical government.
    No other people have any ability to resist the force of Deep State tyranny.

    The Deep State is the primary enemy of individual liberty.
    Our freedom is the most important thing.
    If we don't regain our individual liberties stolen by the deep state, the rest of the world will have very little chance to gain their freedom.
    If Americans fail to act to defend their liberties, there will be nothing but slavery to the Deep State worldwide
    as it was in the Dark Ages.

    For decades, both parties have done their worst to keep Libertarians off the ballot. Trump is getting a taste of the Republicans' own medicine. Democracy doesn't exist until there is a level playing field for ballot access.

    I enjoy your reply's Dino - and we know that was rhetorical but some of us like to chime in every once in a while...

    If we do it, it is tyranny. But if they do it, they're saving democracy. At least that's how I think they see it.

    the bad part of this is that a civil war in the USA would invite foreign governments to go wild and free to do whatever thy wanted. Eventually, they would want to take over the role of the USA, if not the USA totally

    According to the latest surveys, more than 36% of respondents say Buy-dem's election was not legitimate. The vote has already been taken away.

    That is a greater percentage than the proportion of colonists supporting the American Revolution at the beginning of that war.

    " Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government
    ...
    when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
    - Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

    D.C. and all its laws and regulations should be ignored by the people as the people are being enslaved by them.
    D.C. NIFO.

    imo, both 'parties' want to kill us. They just take turns being overt about the killing to keep the proles thinking there is a difference between the parties.

    Well, just a reminder that Republicans Suck...
    MOST of the lawsuits were brought by a Republican...

    This is why I tell people I am a Conservative and not a Republican. Both Parties suck.

    One party wants to kill you...
    The other just wants to watch!

    100% how I feel!

    By being into MAGA and not being a Democrat.
    Also, our own DOJ has been weaponized to view citizens who have a problem with public school boards showing Drag Queen Storybook hours and placing porno in school libraries as being "terrorists."
    Me dino never thought I'd ever live to see such lunatic Schiff.

    A Marxist and many a low information libtard considers patriots like Gulchers as being intolerably uppity when we "fail to mind our betters."
    Come to think of it, Democrats have clung to such a mind set for a very long time, though it appears to have switched race relations so to speak.

    It should be crystal clear the democraps are going to steal the next elections no matter what or how they do it. They have a lock on the senate and the white house and there is no way they can allow that to be lost.

    Yep! She specifically instituted the exact thing she accused (one person, no trial) Trump of.

    Even if you don't like Trump, you should recognize this is horrifying.

    When you’re a Marxist in this country, you are free to take part in election interference and call it defending Democracy.

    Once again, the DEMOFASCISTS decide what is best for the rest of the population and yet, claim to be the champions of protecting democracy in the USA.

    Regardless of what one thinks of Trump, he has NOT been convicted of anything yet and, he hasn't been indicted for or accused of engaging in insurrection against the United States.

    The only people bearing arms during the RIOT that took place on January 6th were the Capitol Police and the DC METRO PD.

    So please enlighten me. How does one engage in insurrection without using weaponry of any kind?

    My faggot state is thinking about doing the same thing as the creatures of the copy book and moving picture box headings have reported.

    Freedoms article on "the first punch" determines guilt is an accurate assessment of the situation.

    However, P.Trump's name remains on all primary ballots until the court or court's of appeals have reported their judgement.
