Donald Trump initially said Kamala Harris shouldn’t be “allowed” to run against him. Now he wants her “forced off” the campaign trail.
…
Ahead of Election Day 2020, Trump said Joe Biden shouldn’t have been “allowed” to run for president. In July 2024, he said Kamala Harris shouldn’t be “allowed” to run, either.
Four months later, as a HuffPost report noted, the former president insisted that the Democratic vice president should now be “forced off” the campaign trail.
In recent weeks, as the GOP nominee has struggled to come up with a coherent closing message, he’s fixated on a handful of preoccupations, including his desire to see Biden return to the ballot, his baseless “60 Minutes” conspiracy theory and his insistence that Harris should stop running against him.

You know who I think shouldn’t be allowed to run? The guy who tried to stage a coup.
I’m going to go ahead and say convicted felons probably shouldn’t be eligible for the country’s highest office, either.
Not a good law to pass. The GOP would weaponize that before the ink was dry on the bill.
If your country is in a place where you don’t think banning felons from holding elected office is good because you are worried that the legislative branch will weaponize the judicial branch to stop their opposition from running, then I’d suggest that the problem isn’t one that laws can fix
It was a forethought, it was intentional. The “founding fathers” may have been super naive and absurd in some situations, but this is one they got correct. You don’t want to let the government decide who gets to run in that way because that will almost always be abused no matter what the current society is like.
There are specific situations like what Colorado tried with Trump that makes sense and have a legal history, he was part of an insurrection, but for “standard” felonies it’s best that we don’t go down that road.
nevermind standard felonies. if it were almost any other federal position with access to classified material he’d never get a clearance, along with many other politicians; strictly based on business deals with foreign powers, debt and erratic behavior. why these people don’t have to go through the same minimum, non-political checks for access as other federal workers is beyond me… at the very least, he just doesn’t meet the minimum qualifications for access to material needed to perform his job.
If I understand correctly (however dumb I think it is) “we” give him clearance by voting for him. We are supposed to be that check.
That’s one place the founders fucked up, but also their system of elections was much different than it is now. I for one wouldn’t even be able to vote since I don’t own land… They never expected complete fucking morons and propagandized asshats to be voting. I believe they also expected the electors of the electoral college to override a vote for someone as bat shit crazy as Trump…
i know it’s been a while since the og post but I ran across a very good explanation about the clearance stuff and wanted to pay-it-forward for the civil conversation before.
enjoy! 😜
Gonna need a supervolcano eruption.
Didn’t he clarify that it was a celebration of joy or something?
a day of love
That’s right, a day of 🥰 between ordinary folks and their political representatives
He isn’t. No sane reading of the 14th amendment allows him to run.
I hope he’s seeing some internal polling that gives him panic attacks at night.
I can honestly see them kicking Vance out putting puppy killer in as VP and declaring that the election should be postponed for 6months so she can have the same chance Harris had.
… puppy killer …
That doesn’t really narrow it down much.
Yeah I was curious which one they were referring to as well.
Kennedy would get it.

The moment every candidate fears: The day an unhinged, barely-functioning amoral lunatic says they shouldn’t be in the race. Everyone knows this is what candidates say to other candidates when they are definitely going to win.
I wonder if this means he knows something we don’t.
I don’t think he knows a damn thing, but his campaign staff definitely do.
Aaaahhh… that’s what I mean. “He” as a representation of his handlers.
The “royal he”
Everything he knows that we don’t is in a banker’s box of highly classified documents, the location of which he no longer remembers.
😂 what a fucking pussy.
Aww. Sleepy Don misses his friend Sleepy Joe.
He’s going to quit and flee, many people are saying it
The best people!
Then Vance takes the candidacy.
Lol not how it works
Technically no but 99% chance that’s how it will work out.
Knowing Trump and how batshit crazy his followers are I wouldn’t afford him any plausible deniability if people took this as some sort of coded message
I swear Biden looks like he aged another 10 years since dropping out.
Maybe, but your picture is a bit grainy and we live in AI times, so maybe it’s also “enhanced” without being labeled as such.
And I should have a billion dollars so I can quit working and enjoy life the way I want it. Fuck this guy.
Wasn’t he just saying yesterday how he was “Grateful” to Biden for dropping out “making it so easy to win”??
Cry bitch, you’re being owned by a black woman, fucking clown
You only get to dictate who your running mates are (or to be more specific, which ones get to live and campaign) AFTER you become the dictator.
Poor old fucker is confused.
LMFAO!!!
Give the Orange F-tard a one-way ticket to Moscow or Caracas.
Sing sing
