    Would you say the same thing if a 18 year old was running for President? Like Trump, they don’t meet the minimum requirements for the job.

      That’s what I thought was dumb about the dissent to the Colorado Supreme Court ruling. One of the judges said that while it’s an easy yes/no question if someone meets the qualifying age, it’s not as easy to determine if someone has engaged in an insurrection.

      Which seemed pretty dumb to me, because I saw it live on TV and thought it was pretty straightforward.

      Honestly? Yeah, no matter who the 18 year old is. This isn’t Ancient Macedonia where you can just fight everyone. An 18 year old has no place leading a country today unless something catastrophic happened and there are no other options. I’m not saying its impossible. I’m saying I’d prefer a president who is between the ages of 35-50.

          I was agreeing? Idk how I missed the point. Its obvious Trump isn’t eligible. Just like its obvious half the shit we do is because we capitulate with fascists and capitalist oligarchs. We need to move people fast? Better throw Musk the entire public transit budget instead of building trains.

          You can always trust the most nonsensical bullshit to happen in the US so Republican and Capitalist snowflakes can get what they want without throwing a fit. Its the same thing here. Trump should be barred and thrown to rot for insurrection and treason. But half the country has the mentality of four year olds so we aren’t doing it for some reason?
