#disqualified :(

To be clear, if I have a short temper when it comes to protest voters and non-voters, it's because I don't want myself, my family, and millions of other people to die in a US civil war or a concentration camp before I turn 36.

Weather was crazy today in the Netherlands but for F1 it wasn’t over yet:

Lewis Hamilton has a three place grid penalty for impeding Sergio Perez

And

Alex Albon is disqualified because of infringement with his floor

Does this mean the race tomorrow is going to be insane?

A pair of conservative legal scholars argue in a newly released paper that, under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, former President Donald Trump is disqualified to hold office again, echoing a case long made by progressive experts and watchdogs.

In an in-depth analysis of Section 3, William Baude of the University of Chicago and Michael Stokes Paulsen of the University of St. Thomas contend that the clause "remains of direct and dramatic relevance today"

The clause states that "no person shall be a senator or representative in Congress, or elector of president and vice president, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

Only a two-thirds vote by both chambers of Congress can lift the disqualification.

In their new paper, Baude and Paulsen wrote that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment—known as the insurrection clause—is "self-executing, operating as an immediate disqualification from office, without the need for additional action by Congress."

"It can and should be enforced by every official, state or federal, who judges qualifications," Baude and Paulsen argued, rejecting the notion that the First Amendment shields those who have engaged in or incited insurrection from disqualification under Section 3.

The clause, the pair added, "covers a broad range of former offices, including the presidency. And in particular, it disqualifies former President Donald Trump, and potentially many others, because of their participation in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 presidential election."

Magic pill update

In my last post I talked about a drug that’s in the trial phases that aims to allow the beta cells of type one to start producing their own insulin again. At that time I had just signed up for it after speaking with a friend who works at the clinical research center near me.

I went in two weeks ago for the preliminary screening. It was mostly just a bunch of questions to review my medical history, and they also did an ekg and took more blood than I’ve ever given outside of donating blood (22 vials!)

Last week I got a call that my c peptide was “too high” with a result of >0.02 (???) so they needed to bring me in for a test where I’d be fasting, they’d give me food without insulin, and track my response in real time via cgm and blood samples. That was supposed to happen this morning.

Unfortunately I got the call yesterday that I am disqualified from the study because I have Gilbert’s Syndrome - my liver doesn’t properly process bilirubin, so it’s always too high. It doesn’t affect my health, just makes me a touch jaundiced sometimes, but there’s not treatment to bring it down. Because this trial drug may affect liver function, they decided to take me out of the running.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed - I really wanted to be part of what seems to be an amazing research opportunity, regardless of it I got the placebo or if it worked. That being said, if you want to keep track of it, you can find updates at this website as they come out:

I say it's Karma because the American Hamilton-Fans spread so much hate 💁‍♀️ (I'm truly sorry for Lewis and Charles. It's not against them)

Happy for Landoooo! 🥳

NOO GEORGE HAS BEEN DISQUALIFIED

[suzilight]

25 of the world’s greatest Civil War legal scholars have banded together and wrote to the United States Supreme Court that the drafters of the 14th Amendment in 1868 would be SHOCKED that Trump was not INSTANTLY DISQUALIFIED and banned from the ballot by his actions on January 6th.

VIDEO Michael Popok of Legal AF explains their key historical arguments and why they should defeat Trump’s half baked theories that a president can’t be disqualified without an act of congress.

READ THE BRIEF SENT TO US SUPREME COURT

2/1/24 This gives me hope. Thank you

I'm sharing it everywhere. It's the most positive thing I've seen in recent years.

14th Amendment, Section 3 reads:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

The Dutch craftsman Joost Klein has been precluded from the Eurovision Melody Challenge after a backstage incident.

The entertainer has been sent domestic after an charge of terrorizing was made to Swedish police by a female part of the generation crew.

In a explanation, the challenge coordinators said "it would not be fitting for him to proceed in the challenge" whereas the lawful handle takes place.

Dutch broadcaster Avrtotros called Klein's prohibition "disproportionate".

In a articulation on social media, the company said it was "stunned by the choice" and would "come back to this later".

Klein had been among the top choices to win this year's challenge with his melody, Europapa.

Donald Trump Is A R*pist.

Donald Trump Is A Criminal.

Donald Trump Is A Traitor.

Donald Trump Is A Terrorist.

Because he was President, and so many people still treat him as a legitimate candidate, it's easy to lose site of that.

But that's what he is.

Exactly ! I’m sitting here ignoring people for you and you out here ignoring me 😂

People make time for who & what they want. Anything else is excuses. Period.
