Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft said that while he didn’t want to do it, he had to remind people of how “severe” the situation is.

A top Republican official in Missouri is threatening to remove President Joe Biden from appearing on the ballot as retaliation for the determination in two other states that Donald Trump doesn’t qualify because he “engaged in insurrection.”

“What has happened in Colorado & Maine is disgraceful & undermines our republic,” Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft wrote on the social media site X on Friday. “While I expect the Supreme Court to overturn this, if not, Secretaries of State will step in & ensure the new legal standard for @realDonaldTrump applies equally to @JoeBiden!”

Ashcroft’s post came shortly after the Supreme Court agreed to review a decision by Colorado’s high court that found Trump could be barred from the state’s primary ballot because of his actions leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

    Your comment doesn’t make any sense as a response to my comment, so I think you responded to the wrong person.

        I originally had a diatribe here about you and people like you, then I realized it made me just as bad. Worse even because I know better. To my defense, my father just died, so I’m an emotional wreck.

        You misunderstood my original comment and I must have misunderstood your response. The difference is I was polite in my response to you while you were snarky, rude, and unhelpful. You didn’t even try to explain what you meant because you don’t care about conveying an actual message or being understood. Just like the guy I was originally calling out for being a dick (it had nothing to do with what was being said, simply how it was said), you’re just looking for weaknesses to score hits on other people. It’s classic bully behavior.

        To be fair, I was snarky and extremely rude to the other guy, but I’m pushing back on his being an asshole. I guess I’m just tired of online bullies like you two.
