THIS JUST IN! CROOKED CLARENCE THOMAS NEEDS HIS PENILE SHEATH!

 

BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB  & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS & THE COMMON ILLS  -- THE KOOL AID TABLE  

TODAY, THE BIASED AND UNETHICAL SUPREME COURT TRAMPLED ON THE CONSTITUTION, ON STATE RIGHTS, AND ON COMMON SENSE.  

WE SPOKE WITH CROOKED CLARENCE THOMAS TO GET A HANDLE ON THE MOOD OF THE COURT -- BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB  & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS & THE COMMON ILLS MUST CREDIT  . 

WE JOINED CROOKED CLARENCE AS HE ROLLED HIS NUDE AND PORTLY FIGURE AROUND NUDE IN BALUT AT DOI MOI. HE EXPLAINED HE DID THIS ONCE A WEEK TO REMIND HIMSELF OF THE VIETNAM WAR AND "HOW A LOT OF SUCKERS SERVED BUT I DIDN'T.  NO LITTLE CLARRY KEPT HIS COWARDLY AND CUTE ASS OUT OF THAT WAR, F**K THE DRAFT.  THAT'S WHY I'M THE PERFECT TO SIT ON THE COURT -- WHEN MY COUNTRY WAS AT WAR, I SOUGHT DEFERMENTS TO AVOID SERVING.  SOME PEOPLE CALL ME CROOKED CLARENCE -- THEY SEEM TO FOGET THAT I'M ALSO COWARDLY CLARENCE."


SO TODAY, WE ASKED, YOU DECIDED THAT THE CONSTITUTION DID NOT MATTER?


"NO, YOU'VE GOT THAT WRONG!" HE THUNDERED AS HE GRABBED HIS CLOTHES PREPARING TO GET DRESSED WITHOUT SHOWERING THE BALUT OFF HIS BODY.  "WE DID NOT DECIDE THAT TODAY!  WE DECIDED THAT YEARS AGO!  I LAUGH AT THE IDIOTS WHO CALL FOR ME TO RECUSE MYSELF.  WHEN HAVE I EVER THOUGHT IT WAS BOUND BY THE LAW?  WHEN MY SUGAR DADDIES WERE BRIBING ME WITH MILLIONS OVER THE YEARS?  HA!"


AN OBVIOUSLY MIFFED AND HALF-DRESSED (TOP ONLY) CROOKED CLARENCE BEGAN ROOTING AROUND AND THUNDERING, "WHERE IS MY PENILE SHEATH!  AS A MEMBER OF THE BLADDER & BOWEL COMMUNITY, I CANNOT GO OUT IN PUBLIC WITHOUT MY PENI PAD TO ABSORB MY INCONTINENCE SPRAYS THAT HAPPEN ON THE HOUR!  WHERE IS MY PENILE SHEATH!  WHERE!"

AS THESE REPORTERS WALKED OUT, WE OBSERVED LEGAL GOSSIP AND PROFESSIONAL HOMOPHOBE JONATHAN TURLEY SCURRYING IN ON ALL FOURS, WAGGING HIS SAGGY ASS AND EXCLAIMING, "I'LL LICK IT UP, JUDGE THOMAS, I'LL LIKE IT ALL UP!"   


FROM THE TCI WIRE:

We start in the US with major campaign news.  Marianne Williamson announced yesterday that "as of today, I am unsuspending my campaign for president of the United States." 

The moment is important for a number of reasons.  First, if you suspend you campaign, you can start it back up.  Something Ron DeSantis reminds himself daily as he waits to see Donald Trump convicted.  So it's teachable.  Second it also shows the need for something more.  Marianne suspended her campaign.  And then we ended up with Michigan's primary this week which was noteworthy for a number of reasons including that despite having suspended her campaign on February 7th, this week she still got 3% of the vote.  She beat the forgettable and unlikable Dean Phillips who was still in the race.  She didn't campaign, she did do meet-and-greet, buy ad time, phone bank, media, you name it.  And she beat Dean Phillips giving it presumably his best shot.

There is a hunger for something more and there is a need to push the Democratic Party presidential candidate -- whomever that may be -- to fight for the American people.  

Yesterday, her campaign released a video of her explaining why she was unsuspending.  You can also read that at her website:

As of today, I am unsuspending my Presidential campaign.

All of us have noticed America’s political dynamics are moving in a disturbing direction. Donald Trump’s power is on the incline, and President Biden’s is on the decline. More and more people are saying the quiet part out loud: that despite the fact that the President deserves credit for many of his accomplishments, he is clearly a weak candidate to defeat Donald Trump in 2024.

I, however, am not. My ability to arouse in Americans the angels of our better nature is the most powerful antidote to Trump’s dark and authoritarian vision.

I suspended my campaign because we were losing the horse race. But there is something much bigger than the horse race that’s at stake here. In the words of Mohammed Ali, ‘When the mission is right, the odds don’t matter.”

We cannot sit idly by while the  D.C. political class sleepwalks this country into disaster. Too many have followed the directives of the status quo for too long, but we are awakening now. We are ready to act, to take the wheel of history into our hands and turn it in another direction.

We need a President who stands for a new beginning in America, and whether I can help do that as President or in some other way, unsuspending the campaign is a necessary next step.

We will win on the promise of restoring America’s middle class and waging peace both domestically and internationally. From #MedicareForAll to #CeasefireNow in exchange for the hostages, from tuition free college and tech school to a guaranteed living wage, from waging peace to repudiating America’s forever war machine, from subsidized child care to ending America’s War on Drugs, our platform is the winning one.

I will respond to the cult-like personality of Donald Trump with a light-filled vision of hope and possibility. We will become once again a “government of the people, by the people, and for the people” at a time when corporate interests have taken Washington hostage.

I hope you are as moved by this vision as I am. You have supported the campaign before, and I hope you feel moved to support it again.

We must rise to the occasion like never before; so much is riding on what we do now. Even if the most I can do is influence the President, that in itself is a goal worth striving for.  For those of us who are deeply committed to Trump not returning to the White House, it’s imperative that we do everything possible to help mount a winning campaign in 2024.

I hope you will help me do this. There is no time to waste. Please give generously so we can restart the engines and race to the top.


They also released the video below that gets to why she is running and why you should care.




Marianne Williamson:  I'm Marianne Williamson and when I was growing up, America had a vibrant middle class.  The average American worker had decent benefits, could afford a home, could afford a car, could afford a yearly vacation, could afford for one member of the couple to stay home if they wished and could afford to send their kids to college.  But over the last fifty years, there's been a massive transfer of wealth to the tune of 50 trillion dollars from the bottom 90% of Americans to the the top 1% -- decimating America's middle class.  We all owe President Biden a debt of gratitude for defeating President Trump in 2020.  But with the things that they're going to be throwing at us in 2024?  We need to submit to the American people an  agenda of fundamental economic reform:  universal healthcare, tuition-free colleges at state colleges and universities, higher education including tech schools, paternity and maternity leave, free child care and a guaranteed living wage.  These are things that are considered moderate positions in every other advanced democracy .  But in the United States, people have been trained to expect too little.  The American people have been played.  What the Democratic Party should do is to truly return to the principles of Franklin Delano Roosevelt -- not just alleviate their suffering but offer them genuine economic reform, not just help people survive in an unjust system, the Democratic Party should end an unjust system.  Washington DC, with a few brave exceptions, is filled with two major categories of leaders: Those who don't even care about all the suffering that is going on out there and those who do not have the moral courage to fix it.  Let me in there, I will.



That's a powerful message and she's speaking to us.  

I don't know a kind way to say this so let's not try to pretty it up: Who the hell is Junior speaking to?

My phone hasn't stopped ringing since the e-mail his campaign sent out late yesterday afternoon "Let’s send a powerful message" (afternoon my time -- PST). 

Marianne just spoke about the needs of the American people.

Bobby Kennedy Junior can't do that.  

Junior yammered away for over 1600 words and the only time "you" were mentioned was to beg for money.

What did he offer instead?

More attempts to climb on top of the shoulders of his father and the late President John F. Kennedy.  For variety, he threw two more men in the mix -- Martin Luther King Jr. -- mentioned only in passing -- and Malcolm X.  The last one, that was the most offensive. 

Right now, as you read this, you're in the world and you're trying to learn and grow.  Some people stop.  Junior stopped growing long ago.  Which is why he offers the Whitest and most insulting take on Malcolm X you could imagine.  I can remember when, in the 80s, his take began to become a dominant take.  Articles and books appeared.   It was a different take than the spit-on-Malcolm take that was so popular among many.  But I don't know that it was a better take.  At least when the enemy spits on you, they realize you're a force -- even in death -- to be reckoned with.  The new Malcolm was more like a child who returned from a journey and was petted on the head.  That's 'history' in Junior's warped mind.

In fairness, it's history he was 'taught.'  Lucy Hughes-Hallett wrote an excellent book entitled CLEOPATRA: HISTORIES, DREAMS AND DISTORTIONS.  The 1990 book is a must read for critical thinkers and traces how history is flexible and how in one time period one thing is emphasized and in another it's something else.  Same person: Cleopatra.  But the history and the stories a society tells itself change over time.  

Bobby's become fixated on the last century and that's becoming ever more clear.  It's the 21st century and he can't cope with it.  

And it's bad enough that Junior keeps trying to pretend he can speak for his father (who does have eight other living children) and his uncle but now he's trying to speak for MLK  and Malcolm as well?  

"What's next?" a friend asked over the phone, "His donation plea where he channels the ghost of Kitty Genovese?"  

Exactly. 

He's useless as THE DAILY SHOW made clear this week. 


 Back to the real world, the Michigan primary was important this week.  Let's note this from yesterday's DEMOCRACY NOW!

THIS JUST IN! MTG: FAT AND SMELLU

BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB  & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS & THE COMMON ILLS  -- THE KOOL AID TABLE  

FLABBY, FAT ARMED MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE WAS SWEATING LIKE CRAZY TODAY IN THAT WAY THAT ONLY THE MORBIDLY OBESE CAN AND SHE WAS HUFFING AS SHE LUMBERED UP TO THE MICROPHONE TO EXPLAIN HER TWEET: "ARE WE FACING A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT?  IT'S MY DUTY TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.  YES.  IT'S REAL."




WE ADVISED THE CRAZED CONGRESSIONAL MEMBER THAT ONE OR TWO SWISHES OF SCOPE AND THEN SPITTING IT OUT WOULD WIPE AWAY THAT NASTY HALITOSIS AND PROBABLY RESULT IN FEWER PEOPLE HOLDING THEIR NOSES WHEN SHE STEPPED CLOSER TO THEM.  THIS IS IMPORTANT NOW MORE THAN EVER SINCE U.S. HOUSE REP. JIM CLYBURN (83-YEARS-OLD) ANNOUNCED HE'LL BE STEPPING AWAY FROM LEADERSHIP ROLES WHICH MEANS MAJORIE WILL HAVE FEWER OPPORTUNITIES TO BLAME HER OWN "OLD MAN STINK" ON CLYBURN.  




MARJORITE TOLD THESE REPORTERS THAT SHE IS CONSIDERING CARRYING AROUND A PET PIG OR SMALL DOG THAT SHE COULD THEN SCAPEGOAT FOR HER OWN ODORS; HOWEVER, HER STINK WAS SO BAD LAST MONTH THAT WHEN SHE CROUCED DOWN TO POUR A BAG OF PURINA ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR -- "I JUST LEAVE A BAG OUT ON THE FLOOR AT THE START OF EACH MONTH" -- SHE WAS SHOCKED WHEN "APPARENTLY DUE TO THE ODOR, SNICKERS STARTED BARKING AND LUNGING AT ME."  FOR THAT SECURITY THREAT, WE RECOMMENDED MASSENGILL.

NATIONAL SECURITY THREATS FOILED -- PLURAL!  -- MUST CREDIT  BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB  & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS & THE COMMON ILLS   --  AND U.S. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN MUST AWARD THESE OUTLETS THE PRESIDENTIAL CITIZENS MEDAL FOR ELIMINATING THE THREATS TO PUBLIC SAFETY THAT COME PART AND PARCEL WITH MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE.


FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Isabele Debre (AP) reveals, "Israel’s military offensive has turned much of northern Gaza into an uninhabitable moonscape. Whole neighborhoods have been erased. Homes, schools and hospitals have been blasted by airstrikes and scorched by tank fire. Some buildings are still standing, but most are battered shells."  Kieron Monks (I NEWS) reports, "More than 40 per cent of the buildings in northern Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, according to a new study of satellite imagery by US researchers Jamon Van Den Hoek from Oregon State University and Corey Scher at the City University of New York. The UN gave a figure of 45 per cent of housing destroyed or damaged across the strip in less than six weeks. The rate of destruction is among the highest of any conflict since the Second World War."   




Currently, Nasser Hospital is under attack.  Yesterday, Amy Goodman (DEMOCRACY NOW!) noted, "In the city of Khan Younis, the Israeli army has forced hundreds of patients, staff and displaced Palestinians to evacuate Nasser Hospital, which has been under an Israeli siege for weeks. Israeli snipers killed at least three people at the hospital on Tuesday."  Today, Wafaa Shurafa and Bassem Mroue (AP) explain, " Israeli forces stormed the main hospital in southern Gaza on Thursday, hours after Israeli fire killed a patient and wounded six others inside the complex."  Two journalists at THE FINANCIAL TIMES OF LONDON manage to type, "During Israel’s retaliatory air, land and sea offensive in Gaza, which has killed more than 28,000 people, according to Palestinian officials, Israeli forces have targeted numerous hospitals, accusing Hamas of using medical facilities for military purposes."  If that's an attempt at context it's missing a phrase that would be "while denying they had attacked hospitals early in the assault."  Because that is what happened.

Grasp that.

An attack on a hospital is illegal.  It is against all rules of engagement.  And early on when the Israeli government was terrorizing Gaza and attacking hospitals, they denied it.  And the gullible and whorish press would try to prop up the denial.  But in a matter of weeks, the horrors have been so outrageous that the Israeli government doesn't even try to deny the assaults on hospitals anymore.  And the world is just in shock.  It's outrageous and people need to stand trial for it.

RTE notes, "Attacks on medical facilities in Gaza have caused particular concern throughout the conflict, including Israeli raids on hospitals in other cities, shelling in the vicinity of hospitals and the targeting of ambulances."  Per the BBC " the Israeli military had demolished the southern wall of the hospital complex and entered that way."  The Israeli government wants to destroy all of Gaza and that's obvious by what they've done.  If you're not getting how far from humanity these actions are, Kareem Khadder, Lauren Izso and CNN) report, "The news [of the assault] came after doctors and medical officials in southern Gaza said Israeli snipers had shot dead a number of people as they tried to flee the Nasser Medical Complex. An eyewitness to the shootings, who is a trauma surgeon at the hospital, said at least two people were killed by snipers on Tuesday, with more shot and injured." Multiple press reports are citing an unnamed trauma surgeon at the hospital who states one of the at least two killed was a 16-year-old boy.  Adela Suliman and Claire Parker (WASHINGTON POST) add, "Updates from the Gaza Health Ministry said Israeli troops were putting lives in danger by seeking the transfer of intensive care patients and by instructing employees to evacuate amid bombings. It said the emergency doctor was injured when a drone fired at the room in the surgery department on the third floor of the Nasser Medical Complex."  THE GUARDIAN notes:

Humanitarian chiefs stressed that states and especially Israel could not “offload” responsibility for the horrors unfolding in Gaza onto aid workers.

The Red Cross chief Mirjana Spoljaric told a Geneva briefing for diplomats on events in Gaza that their countries were responsible for ensuring the Geneva Conventions are upheld.

“It is not in your interest to offload (that) responsibility... onto humanitarian actors,” she said.

“If the way operations are conducted today limit our operational space to a minimum... we will not be able to resolve the problem,” she added. 



In a front-page editorial in the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano headlined “Stop the Carnage”, editorial director Andrea Tornielli challenged Israeli leaders on the ongoing Gaza attack.

Tornielli quoted a Rome-based Holocaust survivor, Edith Bruck, who has been highly critical of the Israeli government’s war, which she blames for the rise in anti-Semitic acts against Jews around the world.

“No one can define what is happening in the Strip as ‘collateral damage’ from the fight against terrorism,” Tornielli wrote. “The right of defence, the right of Israel to ensure justice for those responsible for the October massacre, cannot justify this carnage.”

FROM THE TCI WIRE:


Another candidate has suspended her campaign.




Marianne Williamson has suspended her campaign for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination and notes:

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you don’t win:)…

I appreciate greatly all the incredible people who accompanied me on our political journey over the last ten months. While the level of our failure is obvious to all, a level of success is real nonetheless. We articulated deeper, more authentic truths than those regularly acknowledged by the political establishment. And I’m not only glad we did that; I’m proud of it. We spoke for those most ignored in America today and whose wounds are most in need of healing. I wish I could have reached them. I know we would have provided hope.

I will never be able to fully express my gratitude to those who supported the campaign - as donors, as volunteers, as team members, and more. I hope the blessings you have shown me will be reflected in your life many times over. There are memories of support and kindness that I will cherish going forward, carrying an emotional fragrance that will linger in my heart forever.

In the final analysis, I think the only real failure in life is that which we fail to learn from. I have learned so much already and I know that I will learn more. Processing this experience will be an ongoing journey and forgiveness will guide me as I move through it. I will not allow the mental torment of all the woulda shoulda couldas to tie me to the past, but rather I will keep my eye on the larger story. In ways I cannot yet see, none of this will have been in vain. There are hidden gifts that have only just begun to reveal themselves.

Among those gifts are seeds I know we dropped into the hearts of many - those who will in their own time, in their own way, carry our ideas forward. Although as of today we are suspending our campaign, our platform - with its deep dive into so many issues - will remain on Marianne2024.com. I hope future candidates will take what works for them, drinking from the well of information that we prepared. My team and I brought to the table some great ideas, and I will take pleasure when I see them live on in campaigns and candidates yet to be created.

I wish I could give a personal hug to every person who encouraged me on this journey. So many had faith and believed in what was possible. While we did not succeed at running a winning political campaign, I know in my heart we impacted the political ethers. As with every other aspect of my career over the last forty years, I know how ideas float through the air forming ever new designs. I will see and hear things in different situations and through different voices, and I will smile a small internal smile knowing in my heart where that came from.

I am wishing you all the love in the world, with a thanks more sincere than you can possibly imagine. May love yet prevail, in our hearts and in the world.


The list of potentials gets smaller and the list of real potentials -- real meaning, this isn't a deluded vanity campaign, gets tiny.  On the Republican side, it's coming down to Donald Trump (unless the courts do the right thing and bar him from running due to his violations of Article 3 and the 14th Amendment) and Nikki Haley.  On the Democratic Party side, it's now Joe Biden.  Joe visited NYC and, Brett Wilkins (COMMON DREAMS) reports, it was a visit that got attention:

  Around 100 Jewish American and allied activists were arrested in New York City Wednesday after they blocked President Joe Biden's motorcade route to protest U.S. complicity in Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinian people and to demand an immediate Gaza cease-fire.

The group Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) led the Upper East Side demonstration, during which activists sat down in the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 82nd Street, where the president was attending a nearby fundraiser.

"As Jewish New Yorkers we want to make crystal clear that President Biden is not welcome in our city while he continues to fund and arm the Israeli government's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza," saidJVP's Jay Saper. 




I know nothing about Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia but they have the nomination for the Party for Socialism and Liberation (Claudia for president, Karina for vice president) which, in the past, has run real candidates.  The Green Party is in shambles and that's evidenced by the fact that Jill Stein trying to get the nomination.  Jill Stein is AGAIN trying to get the nomination.

One of the complaints from those anticipating a Donald and Joe match up has been the age issue.  

Jill's no spring chicken. 

She turns 74 this May.

She has no real accomplishments to speak of -- unless you consider her dropping her anti-vaccine stance when the press discovered it while she was running for office -- I believe that was in her failed Senate run and not during one of her disastrous attempts at the presidency.  Jill fights for what she stands for . . .  at least until she's expected to actually stand for it.

And, yes, we said "attempts at the presidency."

The Green Party is dead will be the announcement if, this summer, they announce Jill Stein as their candidate.

She was their failed candidate in 2012 -- one who refused to question Barack Obama's sending US troops back into Iraq even though Tim Arango had reported this for THE NEW YORK TIMES just before the presidential debates started.  Poor Jill, she had more important things than war or pointing out reality.  She needed to get a new hair do and she needed more photos of herself and she needed waste everyone's time.

She did that in 2016 again.

She's a disaster and something of an idiot.  It's gotten worse, her public speaking, so bad in fact that she might need to see a doctor.  

Does that sound like a party offering a real difference between the duopoly?

No.

A real difference would be the Green Party getting an actual candidate -- not an old nag or hag that they've run twice already and who is over 70s year old.  35.  That's the youngest you can be.  And yet do nothing Jill thinks her twice that age, failed ass needs to mislead the Green Party again.

Joe Biden should have put himself out to pasture.  No question.  But Greens, if you run a 74 year old failure, you don't have any room to scold any other parties.  She's failed twice.  She's led to the party into great debt with those failures.  She's done nothing but whine in the last years -- I only ate a dinner in Russia! -- and she's not an activist.  Her 'activism' most recently was trying to force Cornel West down the throat of the Green Party.  I don't think she realizes how hated that's made her.

She and others at the top of the Green Party, tried to steal the nomination for him.  And rank-and-file pushed back.  Cornel for any other failures, was smart enough to see what was happening and cease his campaign for the Green Party nomination.

That Cornel didn't grasp the process of the Green Party is not surprising.  He announced his pursuit of the presidency by announcing he was the candidate for the People's Party and then a week later, he wasn't.  Oops.  Turns out you actually do need to do some work to run for president and that includes checking out the party whose nomination you've accepted -- in fact, better to do that checking before you accept their nomination.

But Jill knew the process and she didn't just ignore it, she tried to break it and would have been able to if the rank-and-file hadn't pushed back so hard and said NO!  They weren't dropping their process of how people had to campaign for the party's presidential nomination and they weren't changing their schedule (again, it will be decided this summer at the party's convention).  

Then there's the whole Peter Daou thing.  This is not to trash Peter or even about Peter -- my remarks.  This is about the fact that Jill's told one conflicting story after another about Petere.  She's claimed this and she's claimed that.  If she can't even get her story straight about her 'friendship' with a political strategist, she needs to bow out.  Instead, she's using media attention to make it appear that she's the party's nominee.

The party has no nominee and won't until the summer convention.

If Jill is the nominee, we all need to wipe our hands clean of the Green Party and face reality that it is not trying to build the party and that it's just a bunch of egomaniacs at the top who need their egos stroked.


Did someone say Junior?

Yeah, Little Junior remains to do nothing.

He keeps pointing to his popularity polls.  Among the uneducated and likely non-voters, he does have some sort of appeal still.  He keeps pointing to his 'popularity' as his reason for running.

Running?

$306.


That's the cost for his campaign basically.  United Airlines can fly him from New Hampshire to Utah for $306.  

He's qualified for Utah's ballot and, since the end of last month he's claimed he's qualified for New Hampshire.  

In a dream world where he can win both states that would be what, ten electoral votes?

Just 260 more and he can be president.

Donald Trump says if he gets the nomination, he's not taking Junior on his ticket.

Junior dropped out of the race of the Democratic Party nomination.

He declared himself an independent making an independent run.

But no one told him that required work and our socialite just does not like to work.

So now he's flirting with the Libertarian Party as well as flirting with conducting fraud state by state.  Since he clearly can't meet the requirements for ballot access in the majority of the states as an independent candidate, his admitted plan currently is to start 'political parties' so he can meet that threshold instead.

However, it is fraud -- legal fraud -- to do what he's talking about.  The qualifications do not say 'create a fake political party.'  He can't meet the legal criteria to get on the ballot as the independent candidate ha has publicly announced himself so he wants to commit fraud state by state.  If he does that, I hope he's prosecuted to the full extent of the law and he should be.
