He is throwing this out now to divert Americans' energy to focus on unconstitutional bullshit four years out and away from the unconstitutional bullshit he is engaged in right now. The time to stop Trump's treasonous criminality is now, not in 2028.
He is throwing this out now to divert Americans' energy to focus on unconstitutional bullshit four years out and away from the unconstitutional bullshit he is engaged in right now. The time to stop Trump's treasonous criminality is now, not in 2028.You dont get it because you are not here. First the changes, wait for things to settle down, then you hit the crazy button a few years from now, not right now. Its like he is deliberately creating chaos at this point ... or he is being asked crazy questions and he is entertaining any idea thrown at him.
MAGA will persist. We will win nothing by focusing on the man instead of the foundation of his church, and its members.Let hope obesity and his diet make this totally mote...
We don't have to invent convoluted scenarios that might be clever and let him do it, or even argue against his idiocy. No need to entertain bs. We can just take the Constitution by what it says and how we read it plainly and say "fuck no."
No. The issue is legitimacy. When the court strays too far from what words mean in clear clauses, it doesn't matter what they try to claim, people will and still can view it as illegitimate and undercut the power.But it's not up to "us" (by which I mean whoever you mean by "we" in the above - obviously doesn't include me as I'm not even a US citizen).
The decision as to what the Constitution says is down to Trump's loyal minions on the Supreme Court. It apparently means whatever they say it means (which makes them the absolute monarchs, it seems to me, but that's the system you lot seem to have gone with).
"dumb idea to announce this so soon"... THAT's your problem with this?This was definitely a dumb idea to announce this so soon. There is already so much change going on and resistance to it, now you have to throw this in as well?
I am not sure he is thinking anything through.
"dumb idea to announce this so soon"... THAT's your problem with this?
Sounds like you're okay with him on a 3rd term?
Are you okay with him seeking a 3rd term?The idea is dumb, period.
But to add more resistance to the changes you are implementing, throw this additional wrench into the machine...3 years early...because there simply is not enough resistance out there.
Heck no. If he does get away with it, other people will try the same thing.Are you okay with him seeking a 3rd term?
A mentally competent person, at this point, might suspect that he has no idea what he's doing. But not our dear Felix!You dont get it because you are not here. First the changes, wait for things to settle down, then you hit the crazy button a few years from now, not right now.

Yeah, one of those slur filters.No. The issue is legitimacy. When the court strays too far from what words mean in clear clauses, it doesn't matter what they try to claim, people will and still can view it as illegitimate and undercut the power.
Remember that laws and constitutions only have power if people collectively and individually believe and act like they do. SCOTUS is doing itself no favors when it ignores plain meaning and tries to divine out some "originalist" gobbly nonsense.
It's also separate from what I'm talking about. We don't need fleets of op eds to defend what the words say. We just keep it simple: you get 2 terms max.
Edit:
Apparently, gobbly g__k translates on the forum to "divine patriot".
Indeed. I was fearing Canada was heading down the same path. Luckily all this tariff talk has united Canadians from moving RWNJThis clown is crazy and I am genuinely concerned that the United States won't have a democracy in four years time.
What scares me a lot is that so many people are ok with this as long as it is "their side" that does it. And we aren't talking about Joe Bubba from Redneck, Arkansas. We are talking about senators and supreme court judges. Terrifying.
American democracy has never been tested so much since the 1860s.
YeahWe've sent a whole bunch of B2s to Diego Garcia in the last few weeks. Not much reason for them to be there other than to hit Iran.
It will, but its power today is in the sick charismatic appear of Trump to the room temperature IQ gang. Vance, MTG, Bobert, and their ilk are hard core MAGA, but are just dolts that even the room temp IQ gang don't fawn over.MAGA will persist. We will win nothing by focusing on the man instead of the foundation of his church, and its members.
I don't know why liberals think there will ever be fair elections again in this nation. This is a totalitarian state that will eventually fall, but it will not be from the ballot box.If Trump lines it up somehow, Dems should line up Obama the same way. Even if they don't pull the trigger and put him in office again.
Four years? We don't have a damn democracy right now. It died the second Fat Hitler started impounding congressionally allocated funds in January. This nation is dead, we still have the same flag and anthem but we are now a fascist dictatorship.This clown is crazy and I am genuinely concerned that the United States won't have a democracy in four years time.

This is just more distraction from Trump to take the heat off of his admins total incompetence with regards to classified info.
You’d think that not only the ours would figure this out but so would the members on this forum.
That's what he has always done. Twenty things at once that would have each sunk any other presidency all so people don't talk about the 25% sales tax he's introducing tomorrow.This is just more distraction from Trump to take the heat off of his admins total incompetence with regards to classified info.
