Republican secretary of state threatens to kick Biden off the ballot as Trump payback

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.

Is payback Law And Order?
Don't forget that trump wished for his political enemies to "rot in hell" as part of his Merry Christmas message, , and he also shared a word cloud that prominently featured "revenge" and "dictatorship" with no context.
People who say "I'm not Trump" is not good enough of a reason to vote for a candidate are being petulant children. Trump has said he'd pardon all January 6th convicts if elected day 1. This will embolden political violence like none other, because if "your guy" gets in, you will face no consequences, so the amount of lying, cheating, and stealing when it comes to elections will go through the goddamn roof.
This man is on a hateful warpath. He will abuse the hell out of the office because of his ego. And people like the state secretary mentioned here will be in power while cheering him on.
