Remind me....when was Trump found in a court of law to be guilty of insurrection?

Trump barred from appearing on Colorado presidential primary ballot, state Supreme Court rules
The court determined the 77-year-old former president was ineligible for the White House, citing the US Constitution’s insurrection clause, which led to his removal from the ballot.

From State Rep. Lee Snodgrass (D-Wis.):
Sure, why not......and if a parent chooses to stay home and give their child a BETTER education than is available in the public schools, those same parents should be exempt from the taxes that pay for the school's insurance, utilities, meal programs and best of all....teachers and administrator's salaries. Matter of fact, those parent should receive a stipend to offset their loss of income from the one parent being out of the work force.....eh?
“If parents want to ‘have a say’ in their child’s education, they should home school or pay for private school tuition out of their family budget.”

Absolutely. But then the government will place requirements on what the parents teach in order to receive the "benefits". Remember, the government thinks it owns everything and everybody, and is gracious enough to let the serfs keep a little bit of what they earn.
Yea, that ain't going to happen.......
Should it happen, yes.
Will it happen? Maybe a slight chance, after hell freezes over.
True...the same gubermint that houses illegals, feeds them, clothes them and gives them medical benefits......paid for by us poor working bastids.
OK, so forget the stipend. The kids, the parents and down the road the whole #$%& country will benefit. Imagine 30 year olds, no longer being programmed and stigmatized by public education, being able to find Africa on a map...or know how many inches are in a yard.

I also saw where write in ballots would be unacceptable. Not sure if that is true or not. I need another source to confirm that.

I guess that all are not considered "innocent until found guilty in a court of law" in Colorado.

Quote from the judges' decision: "Therefore, the Secretary may not list President Trump's name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot, nor may she count any write-in votes cast for him."

Many judges today have no more knowledge of the law than my cat.
If Trump is able to secure more votes than their 2am ballet dumps and does win. And a state like Colorado and Comifornia does not put him on their ballet. I am curious how that will work out in the court systems?
I am by no means a constitutional law expert. But is it possible to for someone to become president if their name is not on the ballot of all 50 states?
I know democrats are always thinking 2 steps ahead, and are scared shitless of Trump winning. Is it possible they are playing this out expecting a trump win and doing this to have him thrown out via the courts?
No republican has won in Colorado since 2003 and it has 10 electoral votes and winner takes all. In 2016 Hillary got all the 10 votes in 2020 Biden.
So in theory it won't change a thing. But if the swing states start implementing this then it will be the true banana republic.
Not a word yet from Nikki, Desantis, Christie camp.

"However, the Colorado justices paused their ruling so Trump can appeal to the US Supreme Court, which could even preserve his spot on the state’s primary ballot if the appeal isn’t settled quickly."

Colorado Supreme Court rules on Trump 14th Amendment case
The Colorado Supreme Court removed former President Donald Trump from the state's 2024 ballot, ruling that he isn't an eligible presidential candidate because of the 14th Amendment's "insurrectionist ban."
Plenty of time for thousands of more to come in, in fact this might cause a bigger rush to get in now. From the article:

Gov. Greg Abbott signs bill making illegal immigration a state crime
The new law would authorize police to arrest people they suspect crossed the Rio Grande between ports of entry. Abbott also signed a bill earmarking more than $1 billion for more border barriers.

Fired for his act of love in the senate
Aidan Maese-Czeropski’s act was symbolic and brave, because in a world full of hate, displays of love are rebellious. We shouldn’t bend over to a party that hates; we must do the opposite.

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business. She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing. Now, she could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.
Sarah's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen but, this morning she noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When she went to investigate, she saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.
To Sarah's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring.
He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job, and walk on to the next one.
Sarah was so proud of old Butch, she entered him in a Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Peace Prize" they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making.
Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention?
Vote carefully in the next election. You can't always hear the bells.
