And there it is…
Didn’t even wait a whole week. Emporer Trump inbound
It’s impressive how hard these people lick boots.
But also how shameless they are, doing it in full public view
And the gargling too
And the gagging also
But, but, I thought he didn’t need this because he has never served two CONSECUTIVE terms! /s
Do they really expect their orange beanbag leader to still be alive in four years? And if he still is, to still be able to know his own name or speak coherently in public?
Even if he survives, he’s on the mental decline, so he needs to be replaced with someone.
Actuarial tables for an obese guy of his age reckon 50/50 chance of making it to the end of his term. Of course he has access to better healthcare than most.
Better health care but I gotta imagine day to day odds aren’t so hot for a dude who’s on a diet of McDonalds and Diet Coke. Kind of surprised he’s made it to 78.
Seems there are some people who can subsist completely on hate and cruelty as if it powers them, and they outlive us all. Just more evidence that this is all just a cosmic joke.
I can see him possibly making it that far … but I really don’t think he’ll be making much more sense the older he gets. He could live another 20 years, it doesn’t mean he’ll have all his marbles.
Have you heard that dipshit talk? Making sense isn’t what his followers want from him; his word-salad just needs to come sprinkled with the occasional slur.
Technically, no need for him to even add a slur, his face is a slur.
It won’t be a test of how much he can continue to make sense
It will be a test to see how far his supporters will be willing to ignore how stupid he will become
I don’t think the outcome of that test will be good.
Nothing we’ve seen so far indicates that that limit exists.
You shouldn’t misunderestimate them
He’s already short a few marbles, and the cult only seems to like him more for that.
Weekend At Donnie’s
He only needs to stagger over the four-year line before dropping dead, and Republicans get to stay in charge for four more years.
For four more years, so far.
My guess is it’s for the next guy
They know it has no chance to pass. It’s with straight up boot licking, or they think they have a plan to bypass the amendment process.
Imagine the Dems brought Obama back
Oh, fuck no. Obama’s leadership is what got us in this mess. He and the Clinton’s drove the Democratic party off a cliff.
Salty downvotes on this comment. Very funny
Imagine trying to pretend the Clintons weren’t just Reaganites, or that Obama wasn’t a total fraud
Lol check out these 2
Enjoy your “affordable” Healthcare act
Zzzzzzz try harder
Obama’s got that boyish grin and professorial demeanor. That and being the first black President are all most people seem to need.
As President he capitulated to Wall Street on day one. His signature achievement was a healthcare plan that came from the same right wing think tank that brought us Project 2025. As party leader, he bankrupted the DNC allowing Hillary to helicopter in with cash and demand their loyalty in the 2016 primary. The moment he left the presidency he did a Wall Street tour collecting millions in “speaking fees”. Since then he has been working behind the scenes to undercut every effort to move the Democratic party in a progressive direction that could have countered Trump’s populism.
It’s truly amazing that Democrats are still delusional about him.
The amount of seething could power the country in perpetuity
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms…
Obama served 2 consecutive terms so would be ineligible. They literally wrote this so that only Trump would be eligible.
Even in their fantasies they’re scared of Obama.
So fucking petty and childish.
Just Trump specifically, or for any other president too ?
There won’t be any other presidents, just successors
Literally just Trump:
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms…
Obama served 2 consecutive terms so would be ineligible. They literally wrote this so that only Trump would be eligible.
Knowing Trump, I wouldn’t be surprised if he went full Nayib Bukele and sent in troops to influence the vote.
And as much as I like Bukele, he presided over unique circumstances where his country was effectively being ruled by MS-13 and his actions were warranted in the case of being elected leader of a country ruled by drug overlords. The USA is going through no such crisis.
He will be 82! Have you talked to any 80 year olds recently?
Bernie still seems as sharp as ever.
Have you spoken to him personally or just the stuff you see on your feed and the “news”? I was one of the biggest Bernie bros out there but dude there comes a time when you wouldn’t let someone drive you in a car yet you feel fine about them leading the country?
Who said anything about another presidential run? I’m just saying that he’s still sharp. That doesn’t mean he’ll stay that way for 8 more years. I’m still very glad to have him in the Senate for the next 6.
I have not seen him personally, but he is still doing a lot of media appearance and speaking from the floor.
Hey man tv is different than real fucking life just fyi.
Then nothing we think happens actually happens unless we are physically there to see it? What a keen observation!
Your a fucking dumbass if you think the things you see on TV and social media aren’t being manipulated. Hollywood would lead you to believe Tom Cruise is a bad ass and Keanu reeves is an unkillable God. Your president is a reality show star. But no your immune to propaganda and can see threw the screen and into the truth 🤡
What the fuck are you doing on a politics board, if you don’t think it’s possible to know anything about politicians because it’s all “manipulated”?
Bernie speaking for an hour on the floor of the Senate being broadcast on CSPAN isn’t the same as Keanu Reeves winning a gunfight against 50 mobsters. His unedited sit down discussions with AOC and others are not the same as Tom Cruise surfing behind an F-16. It’s pretty clear that the gears in his head are still turning, just like it’s clear that Biden’s aren’t. Or maybe Biden is fine and that was all a manipulation. LOL
I had the same heart *event Bernie had and, yeah, I could stand at a podium and talk for an hour, but stuggle with walking more than to the mailbox and back.
Mentally, Bernie is as sharp as ever. Physically? He’s an 83 year old with a heart condition…
* I use the word “event” because it sounds more festive.
OK, but my original comment was just that he was still sharp. I also think you are extrapolating a bit much from your own limited experience, but I’m not looking for Bernie to run a marathon either.
The neo-Nazi filled GOP can shove their 3rd term idea where the sun does not shine.
boot-throating cucks
Huh, the stupid party always screaming dumb things like “term limits” just cannot prostrate themselves enough in front of donvict, and completely reversing themselves.
Imagine that.
Well if the heritage Foundation is going to follow the book of revelation, he needs to be there for 7.5 years.
So where them 2A folk at LOL
Why aren’t the “left” arming themselves while an obvious fascist takes power? “LOL”
We aren’t loud about it, but many of us are always armed and many more are getting there.
I know a few but when I tell people online to prepare they’re mostly dismissive if not outright hostile. I’m sure most of them will disavow any politics and kneel when it’s time to rat on their neighbors.
They are. It frequently comes up here.
I’ve got more guns than limbs.
Probably confused as hell watching the democrats refusing to drop gun control as part of their platform after an attempted insurrection and police violence repeatedly happening with no justice system reform.
But the blue conservatives were never really about representing people. What else did I expect?
‘Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary’ - Karl Marx
Surely we would all actually show up to try to flight this, right? If it passed.
Absolutely. People talk about another civil war. If you start hear ing about spontaneous violence in the streets, that’s when you need to worry. I think if this actually passed, we’d start hearing about stuff like that.
Realistically, Republicans know this has no chance of passing. Frankly, I think this is just mean-spirited trolling–which is a good indicator of the state of our politics. We want to see the other side suffer.
They introduce it now, and even some conservatives laugh it off as “just a joke,” but within the next 4 years, it will be raised many more times, each time with them getting more serious. They put it out there like this so it’s less shocking the second, third, and fourth time you hear it. By the end, every conservative bootlicking moron will be lining up to say “presidents should be allowed to have an uninterrupted span of 8 years of rule so as to enact the agenda we ‘voted’ for!”
It’s predictable. I’m going to buy some guns and start hitting the range.
Me too. Arm up, fellow leftists. This is only going to get worse from here.
It could be that, it’s more likely that this never passes/or is ratified and is effectively a Benghazi or hunter Biden trope that plays well on Fox News.
My bigger fear is that Trump just runs for a 3rd term anyways because who’d stop him? The supreme Court will vote 6:3 that their hands are tied any they can’t keep him off the ballot. And if he’s elected, they’ll rule 6:3 that “well, the Constitution says we can’t do this, but it’d go against the will of the people and would be hard to unwind so we won’t do anything”
I hear you and understand the precedent. But I don’t think it applies here. Yes, our institutions are weakened–but they still stand. This would never be passed into law as an amendment. Thus, they’d need a supreme court willing to engage in such an egregious miscarriage of justice that most would consider it to be treason.
While I find the Robert’s court troubling, I don’t think they’re capable of such a thing.
Let’s hope I’m right.
The Supreme Court currently has a majority of batshit insane constitutional originalists.
They are most definitely capable of doing this.
They just have to divine some batshit insane constitutionally originalist argument that justifies it.
I said the same thing about Roe V. Wade. “The SC would never actually over rule it. The women on there wouldn’t stand for it” I said, trying to console my spouse. What a fool I was
I empathize. But Roe v Wade was never a super-precedent and while I support abortion, I (and many legal scholars) found flaws in the notion that a fundamental right to privacy is located in the 14th amendment and that that right extends to abortion. This is why I think it was a mistake that Democrats didn’t codify abortion rights when they had the chance in 2008.
It’s the fascist version of all the pie-in-the-sky progressive stuff that gets introduced when they know they can’t get the votes. I wish more of them actually gave a shit about the American people as much as optics and pandering so they can keep sucking the megadonor teat.
Standard traitor shit.
