Call it preemptive Election Denial.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi picked Rep. Jamie Raskin, a supposed “constitutional law” expert in the same way that an arsonist is an expert on house fires, as a ‘manager’ for impeaching President Trump over J6.
Since then, Rep. Raskin has been prepping a bill that would abuse the 14th Amendment to block Trump.
Raskin, a former member of the Jan. 6 select committee, said he is already crafting the bill, telling Axios, “I’m working on it — today.”
Raskin pointed to legislation he introduced with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) in 2022 creating a pathway for the Justice Department to sue to keep candidates off the ballot under the 14th Amendment.
“We are going to revise it in light of the Supreme Court’s decision,” Raskin said.
Raskin suggested the bill would be paired with a resolution declaring Jan. 6 an “insurrection” and that those involved “engaged in insurrection.”
Congressional Dems did not initially seem enthusiastic about the idea of denying certification to Trump if he wins based on their abuse of the 14th Amendment.
Congressional Democrats are showing no signs of using the Electoral College certification process to enforce the 14th Amendment and deny Donald Trump a second presidential term if he wins in November.
The Supreme Court’s decision this month to keep Trump on the Colorado primary ballot left it to Congress to act before the Constitution’s so-called Insurrection Clause could be enforced to keep him from regaining the White House.
But some legal experts have pointed out that the decision never explicitly rules out a scenario where Congress uses its power under the 12th and 20th amendments to enforce presidential eligibility requirements during a joint session on Jan. 6, 2025.
Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, said the theory was just “dealing in a sequence of hypotheticals.”
But the hypothetical is becoming less hypothetical.
Based on this video, Rep. Raskin is quite serious about trying to abuse the 14th Amendment.
BREAKING NOW: Jamie Raskin claims Congress will STOP TRUMP on J6, 2025 and create “civil war conditions.”
Will use the 14th Amendment..

“They want to kick it to Congress,” Rep. Raskin complains. “So it will be up to us on Jan 6, 2025, to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified and then we need bodyguards for everyone, civil war conditions.”
Someone will have to tell the “rampaging mob” that the election results have been overturned to fortify democracy. Right after the Democrat nominee was ousted to fortify democracy.
And then there will have to be troops in the streets as Kamala takes her oath of office to stop the public from interfering while anyone who protests gets ‘gulaged’.
The media and Dems might defend this as a “novel legal theory” except that they’re busy prosecuting and disbarring people even tangentially involved in using novel legal theories to conduct election challenges.
Before Dems criminalized election denial, they specialized in it. And if Rep. Raskin is serious, then their endgame strategy is to hope to take Congress and then rejection the results of the 2024 election, while using any protests in response to declare martial law and impose Kamala at gunpoint.
This is of course everything that they falsely accused Trump of doing in 2020. And if you know leftists, then you know that it means they’re getting ready to do it themselves.
Intrepid says
Suggesting trying to start a civil war should Trump win is treasonous on its face. Preventing Congress from certifying the election is exactly what Trump, without any evidence, was accused of. In this case the Democrats would actually be guilty of election interference.
All of this really means is that they know Kammy will not win in November.
Raskin is a fool and an idiot. Should be fun watching him rant and rave from behind bars.
Mickorn says
Hold on. “Falsely accused Trump of doing”??? He did not claim the election was fraudulent? He did not refuse to accept the results? He did not call state officials in Georgia and Arizona and literally asked them to “find” enough votes so he could win?
Are you having trouble finding clips of Trump denying the validity of the election results? (I know how you and Google don’t get along). Are you having trouble finding Republican officials at the state and federal levels saying on the record that there was no evidence of fraud?
And then you have the chutzpah to claim Democrats are election deniers? Jeez, Daniel. At least I respected you for not claiming the election was fraudulent.
David Farrar says
Trump called state officials in Georgia and Arizona and asked them to “find” enough (illegal ) votes so he could win,” if you put that sentence back into its proper context?
Mr. Woodward says
You are not paying attention. You don’t think the election was stolen? Biden got only 14 million votes! You’ll see when it all comes out. Your position is ridiculous. You don’t think politicians, even Republicans, are not bought off, and threatened to say there was no fraud? They are all part of it! President Trump knew what was happening all along in Arizona’s and Georgia’s fraudulent results, and asked them to correct it, before they are tried for treason, giving them a chance to be honest before being executed. Too late. He did not ask them to make up votes, just to count them honestly. You are on track to be one of the 5% who will never see the truth when it is presented, and it won’t be long now. Do yourself a favor and read what you find at www.thedocuments.info. No opinion. Just facts sourced from black letter law, and executive orders that you can find at .gov and .mil sites. Official government and military sites. It will heal you from your Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).
Jeff Bargholz says
No he did not ask anybody to “find” votes.
And you know damned well the election was stolen through cheating and D-Bag fraud. As if basement Biden won.
You leftists are the scum of the Earth. YOU know you’re lying, and WE know your’e lying, yet you continue to do it even though you aren’t fooling anybody. You’re such scumbags.
How many dicks have you sucked today? More than ten? I bet they were all islamopithecine little weenies. You fucking Gaylord.
Jeff Bargholz says
The election WAS fraudulent and you know it, you scumbag. Trump DID accept the fraudulent results and Did NOT ask Georgia officials to find fake results, even though Georgia is a morass of vote fraud and you know it.
The election was fake, you bitch. Don’t try to pretend otherwise.
THE BIG LIE.
Christopher Brown says
The Democrat party could stall certification and cause a shut-down of the Federal government through procedural obstructions. The country would be in turmoil until the Democrats propose a “compromise”,
The compromise would be an agreement to accept a Republican President and Vice=President but not Trump and Vance. The Democrats would submit a list of “acceptable” replacements from which the Republicans would choose.
The precedent in American history for this tactic and its success is the compromise over the Tilden-Hayes election. The Democrat party would not accept the election of Rutherford B. Hayes and did everything they could to halt governance and commerce within the United States, holding the citizens of America hostage.
The Republicans accepted the Democrat terms which ended Reconstruction, removed Federal troops and surrendered the South to the Klu Klux Klan and racist rule for almost a hundred years.
Michael Goldman says
Concur: Rep. Raskin clearly appears to be the Insurrectionist since he should know (ignorance is no excuse) that promoting Civil War would according to qualified experts would end the United States. Thus promoting Civil War is in effect is an Insurrection in of itself – thus Rep. Raskin should be brought up on charges of Insurrection if he pursues his ‘Civil War’ promoting Bill by his very own logic.
TruthLaser says
The Raskin family is by history and definition an insurrection. They provided paid “rampaging mobs” across the nation and bailed them out, although few were arrested on the spot and even fewer sought later.
Buddy the Cat Meow says
Rampaging mobs is what they’re going with now? That’s new., kind of.
Angel Jacob says
They always accuse others of what they are guilty of.
THX 1138 says
“In 2024, the best Trump can hope for is a narrow electoral college win, if enough fraud can be prevented in the swing states run by lawless, amoral Democrats. Things are developing VERY rapidly and there’s no telling what will happen before November, or even by the end of the week. The oligarchy that America became is swift and efficient; just ask the Bidens.
It is not my intention to be negative. It’s my intention to be truthful. I wish conservatives would stop fantasizing it’s 1980. It’s not, and it won’t be again–until we literally overthrow the tyrants, taking away their profits/power and imprisoning all of them, so they can’t keep doing this to us. Try the big names for treason, starting with the Biden crime family. And Kamala, and the Obamas. Show them the same mercy they show their victims, the middle class they’re decimating and the fought-for-in-blood heritage of freedom they’re eviscerating with a sneer.” – Michael J. Hurd
Intrepid says
As I said yesterday: Has it occurred to you that you are helping to destroy the country you refuse to lift a finger to save. *I don’t recognize any such absurdity as service to my country.” — THX-1138
It really doesn’t matter how many Objectivist proxies you hide behind, how many negative comments you make about Trump, or how much you attack Christianity and Judaism.
Fortunately you have zero influence on anything beyond your little corner on FPM. You are simply a low rent atheist. Have fun voting for Commie Kamala and her brand new leftist running mate.
No one knows, or cares, who Hurd is, a nowhere psychologist offering family couples counseling in Delaware. You really can pick ’em. He is actually trying to be negative and a drag on the Maga ticket while earnestly proclaiming he isn’t. Wimps like you and him don’t like to get their fingernails dirty.
You are truly a total loser.
Jeff Bargholz says
Man, I love to see you go off on THX. It’s so funny. You’re an artist when you nail that guy. I actually feel sorry for him. I always think “boy I’m glad Intrepid isn’t mad at me.” You’re the only one here who can match me for insults. I have to give you credit for your insults. They’re good ones. I always laugh when I read them.

Better get all those F-16s ready – I mean the ones you haven’t already sent to one of your wars, Joe.
These gangsters want war or totalitarian control – either is fine. Well, they are telling you what they are going to do and what they expect – so buy ammo, friends. Be ready to go forward.
Paul says
Body guards will not help them.
ctripps says
…and what if the tables turn and Trump initiates Operation Clean Sweep and like Putin did to the Communist hardliners, he makes Pelosi, Obama, and the rest ‘disappear’?
No tribunals, no trials, just the news reporting the suspicious disappearances, and then mainstream media people disappear as well. The remaining leftist panic and worrying they be next, begin leaving the country en-masse.
70% of the military are still Patriots. Numbers win.
Cheryl Barker says
Looks as though Raskin and accomplices have been busy studying and memorizing “The User Guide to Overthrowing the U.S. Government” over the last three years. Probably the most work they’ve ever done. They’re now in the final phase. They tried assassinating Donald Trump but only succeeded in murdering one of his supporters. They’ll no doubt try again in the next three months. Right now, they’ve got their useful idiots filling out ballots by the thousands to overwhelm the election. Gosh, I hope the GOP sends out many sternly worded letters!/sarc
NAVY ET1 says
Elon Musk, in regards to England’s current self inflicted turmoil, said “civil war is inevitable”.
If Democrats again thwart the will of the American people, it’ll make the J6 “insurrection” look like an Easter egg roll. THAT is when civil war will be inevitable and unlike the British, Americans privately hold 500 Million guns. No F-16’s required, Joe.
If you’ve ever seen a hill of tiny fire ants attack a large Praying Mantis, you know what I mean. They ferociously defend their home with complete carnage. So too, the patriot.
🇺🇲 TRUMP ’24 🇺🇲
Cat says
Why wouldn’t the vice president voted for then take office if the presidential candidate somehow couldn’t. In this bizarre scenario JD Vance would assume the presidency.
Kamala taking over after losing the vote, makes no sense.
I suggest Instead of rampaging (which walking between the guide ropes wasn’t but BLM riots were ) utilizing more decisive action. It’s long overdue.
Blackdog says
There is very little chance for Trump to win again. How many states have changed their voting rules? How many states require an elector to vote for who he signed up with? How would the House react if there were objections to the electoral vote. They cannot allow each state to vote because there would be a landslide for Trump. Would the Supreme Court step in? Do they have standing? The real question appears to be would the National Guard pull the triggers.
Kasandra says
Jamie Raskin is, unfortunately, my Congressman. His parents were the founders of the Institute for Policy Studies, a far Left “think tank” that never found a communist dictatorship it couldn’t support. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
MuggsSpongedice says
the sickos that vote for these demonic bastards are also the problem – these people who vote for these demonic losers to f-us over are people who blame others for their own misery, not the seeds they sewed for the harvest they reap!
Jeff Bargholz says
More like the asshole doesn’t fall far from the knee.
Old Fogey says
The peaceful and patriotic protesters of 2021 were not armed. That would probably not be true of protesters in 2025 should Democrats choose not to seat the winner of the Electoral College count. Representatives and Senators who would act in such a way would likely find that zealots ready to take action against them would outnumber them and their security details. The recent attempt on President Trump’s life certainly exposes the risks taken by public officials when motivated, armed citizens oppose them. Let us all pray we never experience such a reaction.
Bryan says
Anyone ever hear a Democrat talk about rampaging BLM mobs? Or Antifa? Despite doing a lot more damage?
Kit_Jefferson says
The Constitution of the United States begins with “We, the People”, not “We, the Congress”.
mongoos says
I really do hope that the left continues to bring the fight to us armed patriots — many of us with military combat experience. They are outnumbered and outgunned. It was always going to come down to this. The only reason they continue to exist at all is because the morals and principles which they lack are what has been holding us back. But there are situations in which certain principles do not apply. If the leftists continue to declare open war on tens of millions of armed and angry liberty advocates, they will be annihilated.
Marcel says

That POS should be shot before a firing squad for being a true insurrectionist.
