    Walmart is way too entrenched to switch. They own the supply chain from the soil to the store. They write half the ag bills.

      At this point we are the only consequence he can get. Congress refuses to act, courts do, but he started to ignore them, institutions are gutted.

      This unfortunately won’t end without us going on the streets.

      No, the bill presented by GOP congress excludes any president that served two consecutive terms.

      So currently, the only person on the planet that can serve a third term is trump.

      Well, trump wouldn’t be elected into position - that is explicitly prohibited. So no running for him or Obama.

      The “loophole” is that he’s trying to line up a coordinated effort to elect other GOP members. After elected they’ll nominate trump into the line of succession as Secretary of State or another unelected position. Once the pawns are in place, the line of succession simply has to step down until it falls to him. Third term without breaking the “elected twice to office” condition.

        IMO this is just to test the base and get them used to him stay in the office until he dies then someone from his family takes over or maybe musk himself.

        The goal is a dictatorship and if there will be an election it will be a sham one line putin has.

          I agree it would be a temporary measure. Realistically Republicans only need ~6 more governors on board before they can start talking constitutional amendments, and do away with these pesky restrictions all together.

        This “loophole” wouldn’t work. There are plenty of people in the line of succession that are ineligible to be President either due to being too young or being foreign-born. First, if it gets to the point where one of them would even become President, we have much bigger problems to worry about. Second, those people that would be ineligible would simply be skipped over for the next person in line who’s actually eligible.

        Sure, they could use the same backwards logic and hand-waving of Constitutional amendments that they’ve been using all along, but at that point they might as well just make an exception for the 22nd amendment and call it a day. If they’re just planning to hand-wave away the rules anyway, why go through all those extra steps when just saying that the 22nd amendment is unenforceable would be quicker, easier, and accomplish the same thing?

          I realize I’m playing advocate for a devil that needs no help, and I hope you’re right. Simply saying there are arguments taking place that seperate the requirements of “being elected” as defined in the 22nd vs “being eligible” as defined by article 2.

          As it’s been explained to me, this interpretation would of course be challenged, and ultimately determined by our wonderful supreme court.

          It’s a stupid loophole and hard to coordinate. The simple solution is for trump so send jd Vance, or whoever Trump figures can win and gets added on as VP, then he’d spend forever saying how the people wanted him back so badly. The President will step down and Trump again

            He can’t run as VP because he is ineligible to be President. VP is the only position in the line of succession that can’t be skipped. Anyone chosen as VP must also be eligible to be President.

            The easiest way for them to do it is to go the “Casino” route. Put in some sock puppet as President and have Trump be the “senior advisor” that’s calling the shots behind the scenes. Kinda like they’re doing now with Musk.

      Its not game over, not by a long shot. Its not even game over if the fascists solidify their rule. There will always be dissidence and rebellion. If you’re feeling like we’re not doing enough right now you aren’t involved with the right groups. There are people.setting things in motion against these all over the country. Let’s shake these AI blues and start rebuilding our faith in each other and our communities. Fascists are only strong when the people are isolated.

      • Disappearing people with unwanted opinions without legal investigation.
      • Have judges condone clearly illegal acts.
      • Pardon already prosecuted and sentenced criminals because they gave the president money.
      • Willfully destroy government institutions under the guise of fraud and cost savings, but never making clear where the money will go now.
      • Accept bribes and claim its all legal.
      • Allow bribery for those in his staff/judicial system.
      • Use the justice apparatus to put pressure on and silence political enemies or those with unwanted opinions.
      • Install an extra, and unmonitored, internet service in the White House.
      • Declare war on allies.
      • Covertly speak to centuries long enemies and prefer their opinion over your own intelligence agencies.
      • Steal Top secret documents and distribute them to unknown international agents.
      • Steal an election and declare no new voting is needed when he’s in power.
      • Start an Insurrection.
      • Perform an illegal rugpull with crypto in your name and shrug it off.
      • Threaten schools and educational institutions to only promote the official vision.
      • Destroy the department of education so that only propaganda will be taught in schools
      • Destroy Healthcare and Social Security, making it harder for the common man to rise up.
      • Declare it illegal/terrorism if protests arise against one of his inner circle.
      • Shout that whatever he does is for the country, but none of his actions actually benefit anyone else besides his own interests.

      Yup, it all fits the bill.

    Why three terms? If hes doing such a good job when do we need elections anymore? We need trump till death and then then name his successor. It wont be JD. Itll likely be someone from his family. Ivanka fits the bill. He needs to get JD out and let ivanka in.

      Not really. But they are that fucking stupid.

    Why not third term? Will US citizen storm the capitol or even do something to stop it in the next months ? I guess yes, don’t know when. Will Trump pass laws to be president for the rest of his life? Most likely. Do the rest of the world have to worry? Yes but its not in their hands!

    It’s in your hands to change the feature, speak with your friends and family, change this.
    ps: and we are in the first year of presidency, imagine the rest!
