Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

It only applies if he took an oath to uphold the constitution prior to committing the treason.
I.E. government officials and ex military personnel who took place in the Jan 6 riots would be disqualified, but not every random yahoo that was there.
EDIT: Others have pointed out that he is ex-military, so it looks like the 14th amendment does apply to him after all.

will run as a libertarian in Arizona
Neither of these surprises me.
Libertarians are just Republicans in disguise
Libertarians are even worse, they are like anarchist Republicans. Slamming two dumb political ideas into one really dumb political idea and acting like they are very smart about it.
Republicans have to deal with being constantly proven wrong on everything, but Libertarians enjoy that their fantasy ideology will never be tested in the real world. That makes them feel immune to obvious criticisms, and therefore “very smart.”
They did test it and it failed completely. A book was written about it. A libertarian walks into a bear. So you can point and laugh at libertarians any time you want
They are trying to make Meta from Facebook
Jacob Chansley can eat a whole cauldron of gently boiled dicks.
He's vegan or something. Remember how butthurt he was in prison because the food wasn't up to his standards?
White people, man...
Why "gently", though?
He has very specific dietary needs. His mommy said so.
Don’t ruin a whole batch of cocks by overheating!
Vigorous boiling or stirring may cause dicks to break up while cooking and nobody wants that
Yeah cooked dicks is a dish best served whole
'parts of lots of dicks'
just doesn't roll off the tongue like
'whole lotta dicks'
Maybe we're making dick slaw
Retention of texture while emphasizing natural flavour
I hope that, once a year, at the most inopportune possible time of that year, he shits himself loudly and thoroughly. For all the years of his life.
Is this like, an ordeal you think he should go through, or are you saying that you know for a fact, that this man can slurp down a whole caludron of al-dente dicks?
Don't forget to let the dicks rest for a few minutes before serving.
We don't want to burn the back of his throat.
Good deal. Let him siphon off the republican vote.
Gee, let me think about it. According to this article he may be uniquely suited to run as a Republican.
In an interview, defense lawyer Albert Watkins said that officials at the federal Bureau of Prisons, or BOP, have diagnosed his client Jacob Chansley with transient schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety.
If you throw in a low IQ, he'll do well with Republican voters.
Felons can't run for office
I'm pretty sure they can and do.
In 2016, the libertarian convention had a guy strip to his underwear on stage. At the convention debate, one of the candidates was boo'd for saying you shouldn't be able to sell heroin to five year olds.
The QAnon Shaman isn't the craziest thing in the Libertarian Party. They are not serious people.

Well at least we won't have to worry about him winning.
It is just a money maker for him.
Getting some "Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho"-vibes from this, lol
For all his flaws, Camacho at least tried to enlist the help of, and listen to, people he knew were smarter than him. And at the end of the day, he tried to help his people.
This guy just wants to play dress up and smear shit on the walls.
This guy is t elligible…. Trump might be able to weasel it, but this guy was an insurrectionist through and through.
He'd best have a good security detail. If anything goes awry, a bunch of Leftists are going to be peacefully asking him pointed questions that might make him uncomfortable.
If you're assuaged to believe that winning means everything, I can't speak for you. It assumes that you start and stay on the same side of any moral argument and you have to fight for it to the end regardless of if new evidence nullifies your opinion.
That's not how humans understand each-other. Humans garner nuance and discern things in new and meaningful ways over time and social interaction. We understand others - people that we can identify with in profound ways even if they don't necessarily share our point of view.
I would give him a moment of our time - maybe 30 seconds if he doesn't state one of the over-used vitriolic statements on the Bingo cards that I will be handing out now.
I think he’s in a well protected place lol
Agreed, he is, but not from internet rhetoric.
He and Bimbert can have a dumb-off for that seat.
Uh…She’s not in AZ…
He should be required to wear that costume the entire time on the campaign trail.
He should be in jail.
No argument here. But if he’s out and running, no one should forget what a weirdass goofball he is.
If only he'd wear it during hunting season, maybe with some female elk piss on it?
You'd be more productive sticking a fork in an outlet, Jacob.
What a crazy world we live in.
Republicans stopped using "cuck" as an insult because the person who epitomizes what they're all about wore horns.
