That's one hell of a sense of entitlement.
Rapist-level sense of entitlement.
He’s literally never seen accountability. The pedofile parasite class fails up
It's also one hell of a casus belli.
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.
Eh. I mean he is clearly shitting all over norms, blatantly corrupt, most likely treasonous, and robbing the fucking treasury blind, but all of that stuff is Congress's responsibility to hold him accountable and draw lines and they have failed.
I don't know if you can point to any part of the constitution that he has clearly violated. But the two term limit is codified. The supreme clutter doesn't need to weigh in, the stupidest motherfucker in the country can do the math to see it's unconstitutional (they might not care, but they can see it).
If folks want to toss the constitution, great, they just tossed the basis of authority for the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court. Guess we get to writing a new one.
I hesitate to declare this is the line he won't be allowed to cross, because he's sailed over every other one. But I really think the entire system of government is shot if he does this. We would certainly be a failed state at that point, where right now we are kinda Schrödinger's Failed State. We may already be, but we'll have to measure it post Trump.
I mean he's clearly broken the first amendment more than a few times by ordering the government to pressure organizations over their right to free speech.
Also, constitutional problems with his deportation bullshit. Which he's been ordered not to do, and yet they're still doing it.
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. 👍
military is for external threats, you don't want them playing cop
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.
Every single person in the military swore an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC.
Domestic enemies like Donald Trump pose a much greater threat to our country than any conventional combatant with a gun or missile - the military is already oath-bound to engage him the same way they do any other enemy.
The inaction from them so far doesn't paint a very promising picture regarding their willingness to actually do what's right to protect our country; but we also don't need the entire military to unite against that traitor: we just need a single one of them with the right training to apply through skills.
Servicemen and women: please actually do your job.
Arm yourselves.
Only thing he is entitled to is a prison cell from which he cannot escape
The US is fucked.
Always has been.
yes we are
Tell that to Mother Nature, Gramps.
What odds are the bookies giving on hamberder clogged arteries winning before this term is up?
This guy gets a full body MRI (probably every year one or two). Judging by the timeline I would guess they started that as a response to Biden's prostate cancer.
I wouldn't hold my breath. Any significant medical condition they'll find months in advance. There's a reason why ultra-rich dipshits like Murdoch are seemingly indestructible.
Sorry, asshole - the only thing you are entitled to is life in prison.
He’s gonna get a third term by never leaving his second.
He almost didn't leave last time. He only left because EVERYONE around him forced him to back down last time.
Who, praytell, is going to do that this time?
Maybe a fine American Hero with a scope.
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 proven otherwise, he is.
I feel like this would be civil war
Surely someone in the ~Whitehouse kitchen~ D.C. McDonald's has access to some nitroglycerin that could accidentally get mixed into some ketchup and find its way onto a cheeseberder.
Something something kamala palistine
When will the American public use the guns they've been hording to protect themselves against tyranny, against the tyranny?
they dont see conservatives as tyrants. Conservatism is a team-based ideology. Those on the team have leave to break the law with impunity, and are even lauded for it. It only becomes a problem with progressive liberals try to do it, then it's wrong and worthy of insurrection.
We should stop calling them "trump allies" and start calling them "trump axis."
We already have a name for them, it's the GOP. Grand Old Pedophiles
this is what you get when you elect piss hitler. Next is annexation of greenland and after that likely ww3 if people continue to be apathetic.
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
Saw this coming a bajillion miles away.
Only thing this guy is entitled to is a fair trial, three hots and a cot.
They apparently elect some fascist egoist and want to rule the world. How can they be so utterly narrowminded... they cannot even think about the WHOLE of human kind on this tiny ball in this split second of it's excistance and act accordingly? Is this counrtry really that stupid? WTF is going on??? Did evolution made an error with these ppl? I am worried, dissapointed and angry about the devolution they create. We are easily 85 years back in time.
Could nature and biology please take care of Trump, please. Before billionaires fund, find and can afford life-extending drugs and live for 200 years.
