To me it’s incredible that there are still people saying “all this will be over in 2028” and “just vote him out in 3 years”. My brothers and sisters in Christ, looking at everything going on you remain so optimistic as to think there will be another election?
Because he loves to do anything that shits on Americans, he’s made that pretty clear.
“Unconstitutional third term” -that’s it, end of story. Unconstitutional means illegal. Gtfo
What causes harm for humanity is, people who are clinging on power, money and influence. Dictators, despots, autocrats, wannabes, every f-ing monarch and supposed holy man. You’re all the worst human trash and a disgrace for all of mankind.
you had me at “uncostitutional”
Trump
He should do his third term on death row after a treason conviction
Just saw on the news this morning, some Trump loyalist saying “he doesn’t really mean it”. And the news pundits are like, yup, and don’t fucking rail him about it. It’s a fucking joke.
“He doesn’t mean it”. Meanwhile, he sells Trump 2028 merch. With the tagline “Rewrite the rules”
If you can’t do a third term, how is it even a question?
He can’t do a third term legally. But he can legally change what is legal. Additionally, he can remain president without a third term, e.g., if the US had an ongoing war, also legally.
This is what those 2A advocates are always on about, right?
The problem with “Second Amendment Remedies” is answering the question “Who do you plan to point the gun at?”
Are you getting in a gun fight with the city police or just the sheriff’s deputies? Are you going to form a posse and start lynching anyone on the street with the wrong kind of yard sign? Or is this more of a Brian Thompson / Charlie Kirk situation? Or are we talking the full Stephen Paddock?
Like, its all just bluster. Nobody actually has any idea what an insurrection is supposed to look like in a country full of middle aged Walmart Greeters and Amazon fulfillment center workers ruled over with an iron fist by Ticketmaster VPs and Silicon Valley Tech Bros. Even a hard look at ICE and the National Guard reveals a bunch of overweight, geriatric, sadistic, clueless goons.
It increasingly feels like the little-a kind of anarchy. Nobody’s really in charge. Its just people muddling around, trying to keep their heads down, and hoping the local federally-financed mafia doesn’t rough them up for their lunch money or their life.
If there is one thing the orange turd likes, it’s following the laws of the US.
I’m less worried about a “Trump Third Term Run” and more concerned with what kind of Eugene Debbs treatment the opposition party is going to get.
He does realize that he will not have the protections of his office during an illegal 3rd term … right?
If he stays in office past his term then everyone that has sworn to uphold the constitution is obligated by oath to remove him by any means as he becomes a domestic threat to the Constitution. This one is a clear and unconditional constitutional dealbreaker.
He’s a threat to the constitution right now.
He’s using the military without congressional approval to blow up South American fishing boats.
He’s deploying federal forces, including military forces, to US cities without a war or suspension of posse comitatus.
Under his orders, ICE has detained thousands of Americans for no reason.
How many threats does he have to pose before the generals say it’s time to stand up and defend the constitution? What mechanism is there that actually allows that?
Yes, but staying in office unelected allows anyone in the US to openly and legally fight him as a direct threat to the Constitution.
How many threats does he have to pose before the generals say it’s time to stand up and defend the constitution?
Depends. What’s the ratio of Smedly Butlers to Michael Flynns currently serving in the US Armed Forces?
It’s not like there’s some kind of shortage of arch-conservative military leadership. The Air Force is straight up Christian Nationalist and the Marines are stuffed full of FOX News dweebs. Half the Navy officer’s corps is angling for a booking on the Joe Rogan Podcast to talk about how they were the ones who killed Bin Laden or dropped the bomb on Qasem Soleimani or whatever.
“These corrupt American politicians are out of control, I can’t wait until we get someone like Muammar Gaddafi or Abdel Fattah el-Sisi or Charles de Gaulle in charge” is a real fucking Be-Careful-What-You-Wish-For take.
I dare you to cross this line! Now this one! How about this line? Another line, you wouldn’t dare do it
Sorry Don, DJ Vance is already scheduled to be the next on stage.
Trump continues to express interest in same illegal thing he has expressed interest in for years because it strokes his ego to think about, news at 11.
… and the dumbest part of that statement is that America has completely normalized it.
He says dumb things, America doesn’t take it seriously, he acts on whatever dumb thing he says, America shrugs their shoulders, he goes on to say even dumber things.
Trump is only half the problem in all this.
Trump’s public statements during his first term were found to be “false or misleading” on average 60% of the time. If you tried to take everything he says seriously, you’d die of exhaustion. Merely taking him at his word is not any kind of solution.
The mind blowing thing is that if, in any other job in America, a majority of things out of someone’s mouth were all about their plans to do highly illegal things that would hurt people, they’d have been hauled off long ago and “It was just a joke, bro!” wouldn’t be a valid defense.
This clown from hell jokes about harming and killing people every day, and follows through with it.
He jokes about breaking fundamental laws every day, and follows through with it.
It’s such a major flaw in our system that there’s seemingly no way to haul him away for repeated failures and egregious criminal harms to the entire country.
Erm, cops fit that description.
But if you interpret all the jokes as “things he wants to do”? Probably pretty good odds
He lies a lot, true. But he always tells the truth when he’s talking about his plans to fuck over this country for his own benefit.
Joking or not, the news perpetuates his rhetoric by publishing it.
It’s the typical narcissistic sociopath trial balloon method, and I agree the news is (intentionally or not) complicit. You test boundaries constantly, break the ones that are not strong enough to resist, and wear down the others by normalizing it.
First others say it, then joking about it, then saying earnestly he’d like it, next is “exploring options.” By 2027, he’ll be normalizing actively campaigning, and by 2028 he’ll be on every GOP- and GOP-controlled purple-state ballot, with expedited Supreme Court shadow docket decisions pending to force it on the rest of the states.
Hopefully he’ll be long dead by then, but his existence is proof of a benevolent creator that seemingly won’t let that happen.
I say only half-jokingly: The best argument I’ve seen for a deity is that the last few years defy any explanation except that such a being exists and feels we deserve to be punished.
If that’s the case, he’s going to survive for quite some time.
I also say half jokingly: You know, it’s said the Anti-Christ was supposed to survive a wound to the head. Does a scary little booboo on the ear count? Lol
J/k, if the end-times-prophecy theory on Revelation is correct, the Anti-Christ would be scary because he’s competent. That rules out this guy immediately.
“Now I’m not saying that I think this is true. But would any of you be surprised to learn that he’s got a genie?”

Why the bastard keeps pushing the envelope almost everyday since January. That I stopped speculating whatever the fuck he’ll do next because his goddamn shit partners are looking for ideas for which to oppress more.
The Economist interviewed Steve Bannon last week
He was very upfront and plain about it: Trump will run for a 3rd term, he will win the election. This needs to be done because America is “under attack”. And if it is prevented, it is subversion of the Will of the People.
Alarm bell ringing turned up to 11
This is fucking stupid. Just try to get an amendment passed allowing this if you’re so sure. If you can convince 2/3 of each chamber and 3/4 of the states, maybe it’s the will of the people.
Good fucking luck with that tho.
If you think their illegal implementation of policy is contingent on ‘the will of the people’, you’re ‘fucking stupid’.
I don’t think that.
That’s what I’m saying.
They won’t do that. They’ll just ram a third term down our throats like everything else.
“election”
Yeah, but I’m pretty sure Steve Bannon has fallen out of favor, and what he says doesn’t have any weight.
In this case, I’m sure he’s right that Trump is going to try for a third term, but not because Steve Bannon is pushing for it.
1:1 ratio of “oh he was just joking” becoming the truth
Looks like he has successfully outlasted the Epstein questions.
No-one seems to ask him those anymore.
Fewer and fewer top comments across the web reference the matter and just talk about the obvious distraction.
its by design the msms is uncomfortable to keep mentioning the epstein files, because most likely thier own ceos ar e on the lists.
The obvious distraction about the dictator for life building up his gestapo, building camps, silencing speech, and crashing the economy harder than we’ve seen in history?
He could abuse a child on national television, and while there would be outcry and he’d lose a few people, he’d have more than enough support to die in office of old age without ever being removed. That’s how powerful the cult is, and that’s how absolute the his power as president.
BREAKING NEWS: Guy who said he wanted to be a dictator and that you will never have to vote again intends to stay President for life.
Hoping for him to not to be alive before his term ends
Hopefully he croaks before the year ends. 🐸
I think he deserves a bit of help.
