This guy really thinks he's never gonna die. I'll be surprised if he survives this upcoming term, and not even from a Minecraft related cause, just poor health.
What is a "Minecraft related cause?"
Most based WKUK by far 😘👌
When you're talking about actionable threats, I.E. real world violence, but want to appear only hypothetical, the meme is, "I'd kill X in Minecraft.".
Creepers in the White House, it's a known problem in the dark corners of the building. Half of what the secret service does in the morning is clear the building of creepers that spawned over night when no one was around to block hostile mob spawns.
Death by Ender Dragon.
A lot of dumb people thought they could talk about killing politicians on the Internet if they ended their message with "in Minecraft" so they could claim they were just taking about a game. At least one of them has already been arrested proving their plan doesn't actually provide any defense.
So a Minecraft cause would be someone plotting (and then presumably actually) killing them.
I'm sorry, a 'Minecraft related cause'?
You a fed or something?
He got the wrong ideas from all these god emporer memes back in the day.
Moneo! Bring another attorney general!
“He jokes all the time,” said Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., who was in the room at the time. “I think it's one of the problems with politics is you can't even tell a joke without being excoriated.”
Definitely, that's the problem in politics. Ffs.
"excoriated"
That's certainly a $10 word for a Republican.
He won't need to run. He already said he will be a dictator. Dictators don't need elections.
This is what we get.
Revolution is the answer. Killing the rich.
In Minecraft?
We are in the bad timeline friend.
The 22nd amendment to the US Constitution bars Trump as a viable candidate for the Office of the President. It would require an additional amendment to be possible and there's no way that 3/4ths of all US states will agree to that shit.
The only potential loophole that I can discern is that there's no clear consensus on if Trump would be allowed to run as Vice-President on someone else's ticket. If he can, then, theoretically, he could run for VP and then have the elected President immediately resign, making him the President again.
So right at the end of the 12th amendment there's this line.
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
So as of his presidential win this election he's ineligible to be vice president.
The Supreme Court will just "interpret" that away.
With as much as this Supreme Court is riding Trump's dick I wouldn't put it past them to rule in his favor if this made it to them.
The 22a says he can't be elected. But that doesn't make him ineligible to serve. The wording presents a loophole that our highly partisan Supreme Court could drive a truck through.
Could he then be nominated Speaker of the House, and then have the President and Vice-President resign?
I'm pretty sure no.
There's a whole bunch of stuff in different parts of the constitution and us code that mention intelligibility in the line of succession. There might be a loop hole around this though I am no constitutional law expert
...there's no way that 3/4ths of all US states will agree to that shit.
We've had an extraordinary number of "there's no way that..." moments in the past decade most of which have been connected to Trump, why tempt fate like that? The 2024 election map has more than the 38 red states needed to ratify a constitutional amendment.
Where are you getting your numbers from lol
A stretched the real numbers (33 states for Trump) for the sake of my joke.
Realistically, Maga passing a constitutional amendment repealing the 22nd (I think) that limits terms for Presidents is possible, but incredibly unlikely. It's a lengthy process on purpose full of all sorts of ways to slow it down even further or derail it entirely. He has the political will and the power right now and for the next 2 years, but I'd bet if he's able to pull off even some of his more spectacular plans, enough people would finally get it and he'd lose at least part of Congress, if not all of it.
Or he's gonna wipe his ass with the Constitution in an X live stream and declare Jan 6 "National Patriots Day" while Fox commentators claim he's joking.
If they do it, it will be by suspending the constitution entirely. Don't need any states for that.

I no longer believe the process and laws of our government will apply to this administration. We'll see.
Would Trump even hold a candle to motherfucking Obama? 3rd candancy isn't just for Trump...
I mean, we might as well just go all in. It seems like most everyone is running headlong into apocalypse anyway.
I just don't have the capacity for this. Ugh.
Let's hope the next 4 years are tough on the felon, he may not even make it to 2028 🤞🏼
I'm not convinced Vance or Johnson is any better than the orange baffoon .
Will the MAGAs back Vance without Trump?
He doesn't have "D" next to his name and has shown no indication of rationality, so yes.
Well, with having control of literally every aspect of the government they actually could change this country for the worse. However, it's theoretically possible that some of them grow a spine.
More likely is they tie themselves into a giant king rat of greed.
I’m hoping trumps ego foils a lot of the project 2025 bs
It's going to be hard to campaign from a New York state jail cell for the next 4 years. The DOJ may have rules about a sitting president but he was neither when he committed the crimes he has already been convicted of in NY state court.
He is 78.
