He could run against Clinton. After all Bill Clinton is younger.

 

But yes, Kings don’t have term limits. Or elections for that matter. 

the proposal for the third term that is floating somewhere explicitly says “third term eligibility for a non-consecutive second term president” thus implying that Clinton and Bush cannot run for a third term. 
 

not that the proposal will get through anyways.

3rd term it would be. 

 

First term was absolutely stolen. They took 3 years with the Russia thing which was a total embarrassment given the only thing determined was that it was fabricated by a guy who was paid for opposition dirt by the Clinton Campaign. The whole system was weaponized against him. He had these clowns even within his own party undermining him constantly. This is the first term where he has his people and no overhead BS so if he's effective why not? So we can get back to the swamp things running it all?

As Trump is showing today, he is the executive and he can wreak havoc on any agency and bring the party in line. He had the opportunity to do what he is doing today his first term. Let's also remember the whole email server fiasco that Republicans hung on Hillary (she was wrong to set it up, but there was nothing particularly of interest). So no, his first term wasn't stolen. And it's an absolute no for him being here for the third term.

Yea it’s not likely and certainly not the desired outcome; but I could see a world in which it does and if people vote for that…so be it. All the crying and mental breakdowns would just be a bonus!

A leaked Whitehall assessment has revealed that the UK's rush to achieve net zero could wipe 10 per cent off economic growth by 2030 and potentially trigger a financial crash.

Risks aren't unique to Trump.

The UK’s position in relation to net zero is idiotic, and it was idiotic before Labour took power.

 

It’s not a choice of a Trump like figure or getting rid of the target… I hope.

Nah...I mean when the idea was first brought up, I was pretty against it. However, given the fact that his first term was effectively stolen....there isn't a President whom wasn't assassinated that one could argue got more of an unfair first term than Trump...doubt even his critics can argue that...the Russia Hoax, the undermining from the swamp creatures even within his own party and Cabinet, then the Covid nonsense led by all the blue states deliberately killing their economies....folks forget, prior to COVID, Trump was seen as a runaway for a second term....then also consider that what he's trying to do, described by @changegonnacome, is indeed something that likely isnt feasible in just 4 years. 

 

So when I think about it, given the Swamp stole term 1, given that voters would still have to actually vote for him, given also probably his age(definitely nearing the expiration date), given that the critics just sat around and pushed Kamala on us even though they completely shit all over the democratic process doing so...I'd guess I could live with a 3rd term. 

Hahahaha, I would have expected a lot more spine from the party of “Fuck Your Feelings.”  Waaaaahh, waaaahh, our guy was treated so bad, he deserves a third term. Waaaah. What a bunch of cry baby snowflakes

Nah I just prefer to laugh rather than cry. Just a better way to live. 
 

It’s all a joke and the people that get too wrapped up and emotionally invested in it are the comedic fodder. It is what it is.

So I guess we’re all cool with paying people to vote? Queue up the “Yea, but” replies!

He's just taking a page from the Stacey Abrams bribery book. Get $2B from Biden administration for "Climate change" , then give your constituents new appliances for free, in order to secure their votes.

Hahahahaha, “yea, but…I have video!!”  If you think I am watching a 20 min video on Stacey Abram’s you are sorely mistaken. And if you watched a 20 minute video on Stacey Abrams then I can better understand why you are so grumpy in most of your posts. 

[cubsfan]

I'm really heartbroken!

 

But you just get after Musk, I'm sure you'll stop him.

 

But you do have a point, It's really fun to watch the Democrats continue their meltdown into irrelevance.

Ok cool, so it sounds like you’re ok with paying people to vote, got it! 

[Spooky]

So republicans don't like the constitution now? My brain hurts...

Isn’t this just plain and simple meddling? Deliberately trying to undermine foreign(dare I say sovereign!) nations under the standard guise of “bringing the gift of democracy to the world”? Imagine if China or any of these other countries did as much as maintain Twitter accounts in America…oh wait. 

So you think China or Russia will stop their cyber ops and subversions  because the US stops providing a way to get unmonitored internet access? Seems native.

 

Believe it or not my Grandparents during WW2 were listening to the German language BBC broadcasts on long wave radio. It was forbidden to listen to, but some people like to listen to other sources than their own government propaganda.

As you know the Internet in China is safeguarded by the Great Firewall of China.

i can’t believe this - the Trump administration considers VAT as tariffs?  VAT is applied to any goods, foreign or domestic. It’s nondiscriminatory in term of origin.

What sort of logic is this?

Unfortunately many MAGA don’t believe in advocating values like Democracy.

 

They get to enjoy all the benefits of living in one, but their empathy stops at the border.

 

Living in an authoritarian shit hole - tough luck.  It’s meddling to even show an alternative.  God forbid others might want to elect their leaders too.

Get used to it boys,,,,it's going to be around a while. Stop your whining already. 

 

It makes you look weak.

When the majority of your population thinks you are an economic 'god', rationality has nothing to do with it .... VAT is a tariff! 

 

Of course ..... once the three horsemen of unemployment, inflation, and debt restructuring arrive ..... 'god' turns into the devil ... and the US reaps the whirlwind. Does anyone really see US index levels remaining where they are when that happens?

 

All that one can really do is stay as far removed as possible, and close to solid structures. When the orange sh1te hits the fan, it ain't going to be pleasant.

 

You might glow in the dark though

Jesus Christ this is pure comedic gold and exhibit A why warmongers keep finding their way into public office.

 

When we meddle and interfere with others, it’s because it’s our divine right since we re inherently better than everyone else and educating them about the superiority of “our way” is “the right thing to do”. When they return the favor, we need to be tough; stand tall! and take action….

 

Because you know, not everyone likes their governments propaganda. After keeping our yaps shut and smiling while we re fed fake covid numbers, fake crime stats, and fake jobs numbers for 4 years lmfao….incredible!
