Well, we’re about to find out from a court in Colorado whether they understand it, because citizens there have filed a lawsuit to keep Trump’s name off the ballot, since he so clearly is one, and Section 3 of the 14th Amendment (adopted in the aftermath of the Civil War) prohibits insurrectionists from holding elective office.
This ‘toon hasn’t been updated to reflect the latest debacle in the US House of Representatives, but I’ll ask here anyway, because this site always attracts knowledgeable people. Is there any requirement that the Speaker of the House must be one of its members (invariably completely partisan), or could they select a non-Representative, a civilian, an honest broker to just run the store and take care of business in a reasonable, even-handed manner? Perhaps even throw in a little humor here or there? I’m thinking someone like Judy Sheindlin or Bill Maher.

Colorado has already petitioned to have the Orange Baboon removed from the ballot. I hope they’re successful, and that other states follow suit,

The Deep State GOP needs a charismatic flunky to take the fall for ending democracy. Read “It Can’t Happen Here” by Sinclair Lewis.

Somehow. I can’t help but believe that those “polls” putting the Orange Baboon way ahead are fake.

Steve, you’re the only lefty cartoon I read regularly. No sarcasm, but are you OK?

That’s enough to make to make a person puke because it’s true.
