Hi. On the final "Even More News" of 2023, Katy, Cody, and Jonathan discuss Donald Trump being (temporarily) removed from the Colorado ballot, his fascist nighttime reading, J.D. Vance's sycophancy, and a mysterious award for right-wing social media influencers.

I would buy albums of you guys reading Shapiro’s short stories and commenting as you go along. I’d easily pay $30 per story for that.

The problem I have with the Colorado Supreme Court decision is that it's essentially based on an unadjudicated charge. They had nearly four years to charge and convict Trump on insurrection charges. While a reasonable person could argue that he qualifies for being barred from the ballot, it shouldn't be up to the election commission to arbitrarily decide that someone has committed a crime. Ballot access is already an unreasonably difficult process, and I'm particularly concerned about giving more power to individuals who are generally unelected and unaccountable in a democratic sense. A ruling like this blurs the line between rule by law and rule of law. It appears to use the mechanisms of the law to achieve a specific outcome, rather than adhering to the intended process of the law.

Can’t believe you didn’t name the Solstice as one of the proximate holidays!

To qualify as a insurrection, the bar is intend to overthrow the governement. In som place, you can get up to 15 years in jail for incitement to attend an insurrectionnist riot (like in England or France). A riot in the supermarket, or a random downtown would never qualify. The location of the riot as well as the call to attend that riot qualifies the intent, turning this riot into an insurrection. The shittest one I've seen, but an failed insurrection none the less.

What the problem with reading Hitler's books, I haven't done that yet myself, but I certainly wouldn't condamn who does. I mean, the problem is not reading his books it's espousing and spreading his ideology. Reading a book to learn about the guy is not a bad thing on itself.

Waiting for the right to say we all have Hitler derangement syndrome
