Trump is disqualified to "hold any office, civil or military" 14th Amendment is clear

Echo opinion letter published in the Missoulian newpaper in Missoula Montana:

January 6th insurrectionists in the U.S. Capitol

Claims that former President Trump is not convicted of insurrection or without due process in his 14th Amendment case don't hold water.

What is being appealed to SCOTUS from Colorado is Anderson v Griswold; a civil trial. 

Trump is accused of aiding an insurrection and found guilty in that case. He was represented by lawyers, and received due process. He appealed. The Colorado Supreme Court upheld that conviction and also ruled the Presidency IS covered by the 14th’s disqualification clause. And now it’s going to SCOTUS. Trump's lawyers were Scott E. Gessler and Geoffrey N. Blue of Gessler Blue LLC. Y'all can google this. I’m tired of ignorant misstatements and outright lies that Donald Trump has NOT been convicted OR had due process. His case is on a rocket sled to the Supreme Court. 

Trump is getting far more due process than any of us ever would!

The 14th Amendment is every bit as valid as the Second, or the 22nd, and that “hold any office, civil or military” eligibility and disqualification language of the 14th’s Section 3 seems very clear. What will the Supreme Court do? Who knows?

Donald Trump failed Middle East policy pours "gasoline" on Iran

Dear U.S. Senator Jon Tester, Senator Steve Daines and U.S. Congressman Greg Gianforte:

Opinion letter echo published in the Missoulian, a Montana newspaper"

"Trump poured gasoline on Iran and the Middle East when he pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal..."

Dear Editor - I just read the president's latest insane tweet notifying Congress of future actions against Iran in a "disproportionate manner" after threatening to violate the Geneva Convention by declaring he had 52 sites in Iran in mind, including cultural sites.

Donald Trump poured gasoline on Iran and the Middle East when he pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, which was a brilliant stabilizer, and Iran, by all accounts, was abiding by their end of the deal.

Now, Trump has assassinated General Qassem Soleimani, one of Iran's national heroes, effectively throwing a match* onto his already smoldering fire. I understand that Trump was given multiple choices and he chose the most extreme measure. Other presidents also had this choice and were wise enough not to use it.

I can't take this anymore; governing our country by tweet. This is insane and highly dangerous. Almost four years of chaos, daily pathological lies, insulting our allies, attacking people personally, betraying the Kurds, ad nauseam.

I demand that you (Senators and Congressman) do everything in your power to stop this madness. It is your responsibility and duty to our republic, to our democracy, to America.
