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.

Hopefully that at least
I suppose I should go renew my passport before it's too late
new passports have trumps face on it
“The anniversary passports will be available only in person at the Washington Passport Agency for American citizens applying for a new identification document, while supplies last, according to the State Department.”
Small subset issued out of DC offices
No, dimwit. Even if you live that long you can’t run again.
You think he's joking. You're about to find that things are different now.
Is he just really losing it now?
losing it now?
dude he lost it a decade ago. he hasn't seen it in ages, and he's not even aware it's been gone.
Can we get him arrested for "winning" 3x? Make him deny it publication to stay out of jail or something like that.
It’s official. He’s going for the Putin-esque “democracy”…a dictatorship where you beat the crap out of people at the polls for voting opposition.
No way he wins again unless he cheats
You mean like how he cheated this time and won? Yeah he's gonna get a third term, cause who's gonna stop him?
Distraction from the war (failure), which is largely a distraction from the Epstein files.
it’s a stark reminder that the constitution is not immutable. amendments are changes, and they may seem “hard to do” but with this regime and supreme court, they won’t stop until they pretend they did this legally. remember: nazis were legal.
Yeah but what mechanism could they possibly use to change term limits or mute article 5 of the Constitution (2/3 to call, 3/4 to ratify)?
The Supreme Could could declare it a political question, and/or is not self enforcing and would require an act of Congress to Implement.
This is a view that a majority subscribed to in Trump V Anderson regarding the 14th amendment.
“You’ve made your ruling, let’s see you enforce it”
This is my theory: 1. Trump will try to declare a national emergency at the end of September or early October in order to stop the midterms from happening due to the ongoing “conflict” with Iran or any other geopolitical situation that he has caused himself. 2. The midterms will still take place, although it will be heavily scrutinized by the right with the possibility of violence toward people on the left on election day. 3. The midterms will heavily favor the Democrats leading to a total wipeout for Republicans in all states as a result the Republicans will cry foul and that they were cheated, causing immediate January 6 style riots all over the country and possibly even the capital again. 4. Regardless of the results of the midterms, Trump will use their results too justify him running in 2028 and at the beginning of next year he will do everything in his power to get the Supreme Court and anybody else to stand behind his presidential run and next summer, he will immediately pivot into campaigning. 5. While I do believe it is over for Trump and the Republicans, there’s always that small what if. If he manages to stay alive until 2028 I have that saddening feeling that there is a very good possibility he could win again. I will happily eat my own words on all of this, after it’s just a theory…stay safe and informed everyone.
I hope whoever enabled autoplay on that website loses their favorite pair of socks
You can block autoplay by default on Firefox-like browsers.
Just the left sock
they’re gonna claim “term” means something longer than 4 years; biden got in illegally; therefore trump would still be in his first term.
If I could trust the system to actually enforce the Constitution, I'd say bring it on. The 22nd amendment never prohibits running when you're ineligible to be elected. I'd actually love to see him run, "win", and then have to watch his opponent get sworn in because he's not eligible.
IF I could actually trust that the Constitution would be enforced.
Can we finally skip to the part where we arrest him?!
At this point we take small victories like him leaving office after his term and never coming back again
That part will never happen. No matter what - he's getting away with it. He's too old to face any real consequences.
What we need to ensure is that responsibility doesn't end with him. We need a new round of Nuremberg trials and his cronies and enablers need to be held to account.
No mercy. Those in the military who executed illegal orders should be court-martialed and executed.
God he's so fat. Just a fat disgusting blob of a fat fucking turd in a suit looking burnt shit, ugly fat bastard.
Wait, that's illegal
According to the supreme everything he does is legal now
Oh damn its illegal?
Clearly the God Emperor would never do anything illegal.
Everything before this was fine, but I have to draw the line somewhere! /s

Good Lord. If trump looked any more like roadkill, he'd have to fight to keep RFK Jr from trying to eat him. He looks like absolute dogshit. I didn't think it was possible for somebody to look worse than Steve Bannon, and to be fair it's really fucking close, but trump does manage to look like a slightly worse, bloated corpse here.
But he's also a shitty president and a shitty person. Fuck trump. I can't wait to open my bottle of bourbon when it happens.

Don't forget that he is only president NOW because we are already ignoring the constitution. Don't act like breaking a different amendment is any different. We already lost our constitution and rule of law when we stopped enforcing them.
14th amendment - Section 3
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
He engaged in insurrection, Congress never voted to remove it, he is holding office NOW despite our constitution stating quite clearly he is ineligible.
Illegitimate president.
Yeah, the Supreme Court finding that the President was exempt from that wording really shows you the hoops they are willing to jump through to take over the government.
I'm horrified but also morbidly curious to see what bullshit they'll be coming up with next to let Trump continue to rule.
They can just declare "a term" to mean 10 years. Or say "the law means two CONSECUTIVE terms is the limit" or whatever they want.
If no one stops them or holds them accountable or enforces the law or constitution then what's the point of having any laws?
Not that laws have ever been fairly enforced, but come on...
