CNN —A Colorado judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump “engaged in an insurrection” on January 6, 2021, but rejected an attempt to remove him from the state’s 2024 primary ballot, finding that the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban” doesn’t apply to presidents. ‘Trump engaged in an insurrection’In her ruling, Wallace agreed with almost everything that the challengers argued, except on the critical question of whether a president can be disqualified by the 14th Amendment. The group said it would file an appeal “shortly” to the Colorado Supreme Court, and hailed Wallace’s finding that Trump engaged in insurrection. “We’re respectful that the judge made the right decision,” Gessler said on “The Source.” “I understand she threw a lot of shade on President Trump, and we’re not happy about that. “It says Trump engaged in insurrection but can appear on the ballot anyway.

NBC News has also extended an invitation to President Joe Biden to sit down with Welker for an interview. "First of all, I had very little to do with Jan. 6," Trump said. The officer didn't say that "because of riots," Trump said, alluding to the threat to a president. Welker asked Trump to confirm he was disputing Hutchinson's account.

☆ 'Stop the Steal' leader Ali Alexander calls for a military coup in Brazil to intervene in its presidential election after Jair Bolsonaro's defeat
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-31 | by ( Matthew Loh | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Far-right activist Ali Alexander is pushing election conspiracy theories in Brazil. He called on the Brazilian military to start a coup and deny the election defeat of Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro, a Trump ally and divisive far-right leader, has parroted MAGA election denial rhetoric. Alexander called for an "audit" on Brazil's presidential election and for the military to "arrest any bad guys on either side," echoing the election denial rhetoric spread by MAGA conspiracy theorists in recent years. Alexander misleadingly used the screenshot to support his baseless claim that the Biden administration rigged Brazil's election.

"Patriotically-minded citizens are choosing to sign contracts for three or six months to take part in the special military operation," major Sergei Ardashev said, promising training for everyone. 1/5 A Russian service member stands next to a mobile recruitment center for military service under contract in Rostov-on-Don, Russia September 17, 2022. Inside the truck, Yakunin sat down with Ardashev, who told him the next step would be a mental examination. If all went well, Yakunin would "arrive at a military unit, enroll in a specific division, (and) from that moment you begin military service".
