Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Sometimes you take a step back and realize how crazy stuff is because of what's currently assumed. Like people here are already assuming Trump is gonna run. Which is wild because like, whether he even can is highly debatable from a legal standpoint, but we also know that he doesn't give a shit about the law and neither do his followers.
I just hope the Dems have a proper primary for once.
It's not debatable from a legal standpoint at all. He can't legally run. That's all.
Sorry, forgot to put sarcastic quote marks over "highly debatable"
And that's a problem how, exactly?
It's a problem when people act like there's some potential legality in him running, because no the fuck there is not?
Strictly speaking, does the law say he can't run, or can't be elected again?
If you're ineligible to be elected, you're ineligible to run.
You know how there's theory, and then there's practice?
What? Now is not the time, how dare you expect that!
Even more wild is they assume there's going to be a real election.
To be fair, Trump has already said he spoke with Mike Johnson and agrees he cannot run for office. If Trump were to go for another term he already recognizes that he would have to use another means (such as the speaker of the house switcheroo).
