Donald Trump removed from Maine primary ballot by secretary of state
washingtonpost.com
Maine barred Donald Trump from the primary ballot Thursday, making it the second state in the country to block the former president from running again under a part of the Constitution that prevents insurrectionists from holding office.
The decision by Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) is sure to be appealed. The Colorado Supreme Court last week found Trump could not appear on the ballot in that state, and the Colorado Republican Party has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case. The nation’s high court could resolve for all states whether Trump can run again.

East Germany?
Yes. The former DDR part is commonly still called that. It still differs noticeably from the West in terms of culture and level of development. Unfortunately, the entire region has moved significantly to the right politically. So much even that an openly right-wing extremist party has a majority in multiple parts of it.
I didn't know Dance Dance Revolution got a party. Weird thing.
We have a group at work that uses the abbreviation "DDRC". I often think of them as the Dance Dance Revolution Committee. Their actual purpose is much, much less fun.
(I also often say "Time has no meaning there" about them, referencing Star Trek Generations. Because they literally do not care how long they delay projects. It's not their problem, and they refuse to even acknowledge there is a concern. I really hate dealing with them, if you haven't guessed.)
It's like saying Southern California. It's just a region within a larger state.
