And yet Maryland morons elect him.

he's from monkey county (montgomery county) maryland...you have to live in the DC metro area to understand ...

.

Montgomery County is the San Francisco of Maryland (I remember when it was just Takoma Park that was the San Francisco of the DC area). I used to live in Montgomery County in the early 1990's before it went batshit crazy. Now they would turn the whole county into a huge Portland if they could.

Muslims seek apology from Democrat for linking them to ‘White supremacists’ over LGBTQ books.

Tensions between Muslim parents and Montgomery County Public Schools over the Maryland district’s mandatory LGBTQ books escalated after a Democratic official compared the families to White supremacists.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations demanded an apology for “offensive and disparaging remarks” made by Montgomery County Councilmember Kristin Mink at Tuesday’s board of education meeting on the elimination of the classroom opt-out policy.

“This issue has unfortunately put, it does put some – not all, of course – some Muslim families on the same side of an issue as White supremacists and outright bigots,” said Ms. Mink at the meeting.

“However, the folks who I talked to here today I would not put in the same category as those folks, although it’s again complicated (Editor’s note: IOW, small processing capability) because they’re falling on the same side of this particular issue.”

Perhaps someone can confront her when she is dining out with her family and demand she resign for her racist comments.

You might recognize me from a 2018 viral video in which I confronted Trump’s corrupt Director of the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, in a D.C. restaurant. With my then-2-year-old on my hip, I called out Pruitt for his misuse of tax dollars and failure to address climate change, and urged him to “resign before your scandals push you out.” Three days later, he did.”

Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) is trying to convince the American people that President Donald Trump made a choice to “disqualify” himself from the 2024 election.

The congressman claims that blocking Trump from running is more “democratic” than other clauses in the U.S. Constitution.

Raskin compared it to the clause disqualifying foreign candidates to run for president, which he described as “undemocratic.”

Raskin attempted to do so on Sunday, during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union. ...

The claim is that Trump took such an oath when he became president and that he “engaged in insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021.

Legal experts, however, insist that this amendment was never meant to be applied the way anti-Trump groups are attempting to apply it to the 45th president.

Also, Jan. 6 was not an “insurrection” and Trump has never been convicted of any such charges.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) the House Oversight Committee’s ranking member and a former Trump “impeachment manager,” previously advocated for non-citizen participation in the U.S. election system.

Raskin argues that the framers of the U.S. Constitution did not “intend” for a citizenship requirement to vote.

It comes as the House gears up to vote on a bill that would repeal a Washington D.C. law to grant non-citizen residents of the city the right to vote in local elections. ...

https://slaynews.com/news/democrat-jamie-raskin-floats-plan-block-trumps-election-victory-save-democracy/

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has suggested that Democrats are planning to block the certification of the 2024 election results if President Donald Trump wins.

Raskin, who sat on the anti-Trump January 6 Committee, discussed overturning the election results in order to supposedly “save democracy” if Democrats don’t get the outcome they want.

Raskin raised the alarming scenario in resurfaced comments from February.

He argued that Congress would disqualify Trump after the November election, even if the 45th president wins the presidential race.

The Democrat described the action as a necessary response to the Supreme Court’s refusal to disqualify Trump from the ballot.

In March, the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that individual states cannot enforce the so-called “insurrection ban.”

Democrats had pushed the ban in a desperate attempt to keep Trump out of power.

Anticipating the court’s pro-Trump ruling, Raskin told a crowd at a Washington D.C. bookstore that Congress would have to take drastic action.

“They want to kick it to Congress, so it’s going to be up to us on January 6, 2025, to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified,” he said.

his name is spelled Raskin but it should be changed to Rascal

The History of Rep. Raskin Persecution of President Trump.
During President Trump’s first term, it was as if Rep. Raskin’s had taken a sworn oath to take vengeance on President Trump for winning the presidency in 2016. For instance, he consistently portrayed Trump as having colluded with the Russians to interfere with the 2016 election and that this was as a serious threat to American democracy. He worked tirelessly to portray Trump’s presidency as a cesspit of corruption.

Even after the Mueller report of 2019 vindicated Trump and documented that Russian interference was minimal and had little impact on the election, Raskin persisted.

In terms of the 2016 Russian disinformation, the Durham report of May 2023 further exonerated Trump and criticized the FBI for displaying a "serious lack of analytical rigor" towards the information they received, especially as it was from politically affiliated sources.

In contrast to Durham's findings, Jamie Raskin continues to assert that there was substantial evidence justifying the FBI's investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

The Durham and Mueller reports embarrassed and exposed the democrats, particularly Raskin. This is a hurt that they won’t easily forget. But understand that on January 6th, 2021, Raskin’s vengeance turned into a deeply personal vendetta against Trump.

The backstory: Emotional Trauma.

On January 6th, Jamie Raskin’s vengeance against Trump became his life’s work. A Newsweek articles lays out the details.

Just a day before the (January 6th) riot, the Raskins had held a funeral for his son, Tommy, who died by suicide at age 25 after suffering from depression—in his speech, the Maryland congressman called it "the saddest day of our lives."

On January 6th, Raskin was in the capital with his daughter.

"The reason they came with me was because they wanted to be together with me in the middle of a devastating week for our family," he said of bringing his daughter and son-in-law to the Capitol on January 6.

They gathered together to receive condolences in House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer's office in the Capitol. Raskin began drafting a speech on unity that he planned to give later that evening and then he left to head to the House floor before family members went to the gallery to watch.

"By the time we learned about what was going on, it was too late. I couldn't get out there to be with them in that office," Raskin said.

For over an hour Raskin and his son-in-law and daughter were separated. They barricaded in Hoyer's office, and he was on the House floor.

"She said, 'Dad, I don't want to come back to the Capitol,'" Raskin recalled. "Of all the terrible, brutal things I saw and heard that day, that one hit me the hardest."

In reading this account, the deep pain of the loss of a gifted son a few days before J-6, combined with the fear of not knowing if his daughter and family were safe during the events of January 6th must have been truly horrifying.

It is easy to imagine that as J-6 literally happened while his family were at the capital with him to accept condolences from members of Congress, Raskin might have linked that death and his hatred of Donald Trump forever in his mind. This was further enhanced by his personal cancer diagnosis just shortly thereafter.

I hypothesize that the these traumatic events, so closely linked in time, have become as one in Raskin’s mind. Rep. Raskin is no longer seeking vengeance against Trump for winning in 2016, he is seeking retribution and absolution for the death of his son.

Since January 6th, Raskin has spent countless resources, time, and energy in investigating, impeaching, and strategizing how to take down Trump permanently. It appears to have become a life passion.

Revenge is a never-healing wound inflicted upon oneself. ...

Lying POS sack of shit knee jerk subversive who learned nothing of compassion, decency, ethics or humanity from his own life experiences. Of course, he's probably blackmailed along with all the other POS lying sacks of Congressional shit.

I doubt he actually has that much personal skin in his TDS, he's a Deep State automaton.

“Let folks cast their votes for Trump if that’s their choice. But mark my words, we won’t be certifying the election. He might win, but we’ll ensure he doesn’t step foot in the Oval Office.” — Jamie Raskin (D-MD)

Let's see if he can block democracy.

Yeah, found a good House map:
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/elections/live_results/2024/house/

Some of these delayed assignments are ridiculous, like Alaska can pretty much be called with over 70% in and a 4% lead for the Republican.

Also, if it wasn't for racially gerrymandered districts, the dems would probably lose at least a dozen seats.

James Rascal is a better name for him.

Congressman Jamie Raskin says EVEN IF TRUMP WINS they will disqualify him on January 6th, 2025 under 14A.

He's not using the exact words from the quote above, but he's definitely saying that "it's up to us" (Congress) to invalidate the election based on section 3 of the 14th amendment, which refers to "insurrection". In reality, Pelosi and the FBI organized the Jan 6th entrapment scheme. Jeez, what kind of insurrection is completely unarmed?

...freedoms and equality of the American people but the court is not going to save us and so that means the only thing that really works is people in motion amending the Constitution but again it's necessary but it's not sufficient because what can be put into the Constitution can slip away from you very quickly and the greatest example going on right now before our very eyes is section three of the 14th Amendment which they're just disappearing with a magic wand as if it doesn't exist even though it could not be clearer what it's stating and so you know they want to kick it to Congress so it's going to be up to us on January 6 2025 to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he's disqual ified and then we need bodyguards for everybody in Civil War conditions all because the nine justices not all of them but these justices who have um not many cases to look at every year not that much work to do a huge staff great protection simply do not want to do their job and interpret what the great 14th Amendment means and I'm glad that sherin's creating her new center so we can bring that back to life even as we're continuing to amend the Constitution as professor Hass has invited us to do thank you so much and thank you everybody we've run out of time...

Trump was never charged or convicted of Insurrection, so how does that apply? Raskin is an unethical douchebag.

Truth and facts don’t matter to them, it’s pure emotion. Can’t believe I used to like him. They’ve all flipped.

Raskin is such a repellent dickhead, and Maryland is such a fucked up state.

I've dealt with suicide in my family and the wife's. Ultimately as a father he wasn't there. So yes he is a dickhead for sure. Both cases for me were a result of no father figure either dead or not present while a child.

He failed at his job of being a parent. And no you can't be around your adult kids 24/7, but he clearly probably let his political career get in the way with the relationship with his son when younger. To cast blame elsewhere is fucking ridiculous. Just own up that you were a bad dad.

This is an opinion, not fact, but I think most suicide is because of a piss poor dad that didn't pay attention. Could be work. Could be alcohol. Could be drugs. Either way they weren't present and there for male sons at a young age. Not having a father figure would be an awful upbringing. He was probably in DC all the time. He also just looks like a cunt.

Maryland has an inordinate number of black people, 31.6%, and they vote the straight black ticket. Also dimwit liberal whites do as well, or elect such incompetents as Raskin. Percentage-wise, there are more black people and less white people in Maryland than in South Carolina, where I am moving to soon.

Probably Baltimore I assume. Chicago 33/33/33 split basically. Hispanic, black and white. Some Asians and Indians mixed in along the way so numbers are not 100%.

Rest of IL is probably 90% white and the black and hispanics are treated well. In Chicago they just segregate themselves and shoot at each other. That's not hyperbolic either. I'll be moving next door to a Mexican and Greek guy that are friends. Nurse and a programmer. I think minorities are realizing how shitty cities are. So far it seems like the smart ones are coming this way at least.

Not just Baltimore. Population of Baltimore is around 585,000, 60% black. Maryland population around 6 million.

Yeah, I wouldn't live there. There's really nothing that is appealing to what I consider the North East. I've been to all lower 48 and have no interest in going back to the North East, which includes Maryland in my world. I will because the wife and kids haven't been, but I'll sit back at the house or hotel room.

TN, NC, SC, GA, FL, etc. are fine. North I couldn't do it. Vermont and New Hampshire maybe with snowboarding for me, but the people seemed retarded there. Like trailer park retarded.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5401348-jamie-raskin-jeffrey-epstein-files-release/

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on Monday doubled down on his push for the Trump administration to release all of the files and names associated with late financier Jeffrey Epstein’s case, saying failing to do so is “dangerous” to the public.

“If there are literally other people on this list who are somehow implicated in these actions, it is dangerous to public health and safety not to release the names publicly,” Raskin said during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House.”

https://slaynews.com/news/democrat-jamie-raskin-suddenly-changes-tune-eliminating-filibuster/

Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has mysteriously changed his tune on eliminating the Senate filibuster shortly after President Donald Trump called on Republicans to end the procedure.

On Wednesday, the anti-Trump Democrat declined to say whether he supports eliminating the filibuster, despite previously being a vocal supporter of such efforts.

Raskin previously endorsed calls to end the filibuster during the Biden administration. ...

“One of the things that he (Trump) has been talking about for the last couple of days more intensely is getting rid of the filibuster,” Bash asked.

“That’s actually something that you wanted to do when Joe Biden was president.

“Things weren’t getting through the Senate.

“So is that an area where you agree with him?”

Raskin responded that procedural changes were not his focus.

“Look, we don’t need a procedural fix at this point,” he said.
