    "Donald Trump asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to ensure he can appear on primary ballots across the country this spring by invalidating a ruling from Colorado’s top court that said Trump is ineligible to serve as president again,” the Washington Post reports.

    “Trump, the 2024 GOP frontrunner, has said it is undemocratic for a court or state official to keep him from running. He would have no way to win if other states followed the lead of Maine and Colorado and tried to bar him from their ballots.”

        “States rights” only means one thing for the right wing: persecuting and enslaving people they don’t like. It meant that during the civil war and it still does today.

          Not even that. The Confederacy was against states’ right to outlaw slavery within their borders. Turns out conservatives have been lying about everything all along.

      Funny he believes in the winning part, but the losing part is always corruption/election interference/Flying Spaghetti Monster hates him. Also he did try and overthrow the results last time so…
