Long term effect of not seriously holding this man accountable for Jan 6. He thinks he is untouchable.
Damn this must win the top prize for the category ‘aged like milk’.
I’ve been reading through histroy from the begining and I haven’t got that far yet but I’m glad they stopped him before he did anything bad. Anyway I just got to Nero becoming emperor what a loving son and kind man.
Until the asswipe, Dietrich Klagges, found a way to get The Little Fucking Austrian Corporal German citizenship through the Braunschweig State Parliament.
And, unfortunately, he’s correct.
Well, based on extended measurements: He is.
Republicans stopped any kind of accountability and are not firing him now. They can stop him at any second.
So, is our military going to need to step up to ensure a fair election next year, and also prevent Trump from taking office again? That is, assuming he, A) lives that long, and B) somehow pulls this off. Isn’t that why they are required to swear an oath to the Constitution, and not the President? Does that actually hold any water?
Look, if the U.S. Military were going to uphold the Constitution he already wouldn’t be President anymore.
The military? Probably not…
But you might get a federal agency already cosplaying as a para-military group to overlook the election and make sure you’re voting correctly. 👍
The governor of every state has the right to call out that state’s National Guard in the event of emergencies, and it is my sincere hope the states start to do it pre-emptively, NOW, even via state legislation, so that the NG are already under orders to protect the polls by the time November rolls around.
Without the NG, he has nothing tested and true but ICE, and their numbers are shit compared to the National Guard.
They’ve spent the last year removing opposition in the military
military is for external threats, you don’t want them playing cop

you obviously have no idea what “do your job” means here… military are trained to kill, do you really want them to “do their job” in US streets?

you seem to be conflating military with police. you want them wantonly murdering Americans in the street? stfu lunatic.

MAGA would love to see military in the streets murdering people, I’m the polar opposite of MAGA.
Police murder wantonly in our streets already, let’s just throw more gas on the pile and see what happens.
how much worse would it be with a larger, better armed force that has been explicitly trained to kill?
You’re sorta missing the point. Nobody is talking about having the military issuing parking tickets here.
It’s about Trump running for office, and Congress/the courts saying “no”.
Who does the military listen to? Do they obey Trump’s orders to enforce his will at polling places?
they are trained killers, you want them murdering Americans? fucking lunatics everywhere.
You’re just ignoring everything anyone is saying and repeating the same thing.
Repetition is truth for certain people.
good luck with your coup
Until you do. When shit hits the fan it generally comes down to which side the military sides with.
As an outsider. The big danger appears to be how your country has also armed your police and now customs people as if they’re military too. Things could start to get very messy very fast.
They could start getting nasty a year ago
He is fully entitled to a third, life-term in prison for being a traitor. I hear Epstein’s cell is empty.
The US is fucked.
yes we are
Always has been.
“Because Joe Biden cheated!”
“So what you’re saying is you deserve a term to replace the one you lost in 2020?”
“Yes!”
He’ll be dead by the end of the year. I’d be more worried about what
vancePeter Thiel has planned.I worry his own party will kill him just before midterms to drive down the democratic vote. It’s literally all they have left to stop a massive red loss.
Natural causes before July.
It is somewhat funny the rest of us see this and Trump doesn’t realize it yet.
To Trump: Technically you’re NOT entitled to a third term, as you’re inelligible to run for a third term. Sincerely, all Americans
Y’all gotta make sure term length can’t be redefined
You’re going to end up with presidential term limits like copywrite law
Maybe “anyone who’s President are only allowed two consecutive or non-consecutive terms with no way to run for an additional term”, perhaps?
Yeah, but you still have to make sure a “term” isn’t suddenly 50 years long by some mechanism
Four-year terms
To Trump:
TechnicallyConstitutionally, you’re NOT entitled to a third term, as you’re inelligible to run for a third term. Sincerely, all Americans
Can you die already
Arm yourselves.
Only thing this guy is entitled to is a fair trial, three hots and a cot.
Every pedo is entitled to a rope necklace and a long walk off a short deck.
Floor is comfy.
That’s why trump doesn’t like alternative forms of energy. He needs gas for lighting.
Entitled? So the narccisist of narccisists is now also the Karen of karens.
European here. Is a third term actually illegal/unconstitutional or is it “just” defacto illegal/unconstitutional?
It’s the 22nd Amendment
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once
Pretty unambiguous.
Extending his rein would mean he either Stops Elections, gets the constitution amended, or most insidious… just refuses to transfer power, and seeing if our military is actually complicit with the pedophile class against its own citizenry.
Jan 6 is going to completely embolden them to try again. Is there enough MAGA to make it happen again despite it all?
EDIT: extended rant
The wording on that second part confuses me but Canadian here so I’ve only ever voted in elections for local representation as we don’t vote for prime minister the Crown’s representative picks them. Does the vice president just get to serve the rest of the term without actually being elected? I honestly just assumed a second election was held and the vice president served in the interim.
The second part means that if you took over as President during someone else’s term (for example if you were VP when the President died and you took over) and served for two years or more of that term, you can only serve one more term. So however you become President, you can’t serve more than two terms.
Not American, but yes. You can look at the wiki if Lyndon Johnson who became president after JFK was killed.
Thank you
It’s unconstitutional…not that it’ll stop these fuckers
Something something kamala palistine
Barack Obama has the chance to do something pretty funny here
Maybe he can go up on a debate stage and talk about how the security of Israel is vital to American interests in the region.
