    Interesting story about that.

    Prior to, and during, WW2, chili almost always had beans in it. In the aftermath, beef producers started ad campaigns claiming that chili without beans was REAL chili, and that only plebes added beans.

    All the arguments in favor of chili without beans come from those ad campaigns.

     

    I saw that thread. Bookmarked this article.

    He literally believes that a trade deficit means the US is losing money. Wharton should retract his degree because surely no one with that degree would say something so stupid… and yet

    This is Trump:

    And Congress and businesses are too cowardly to do any damn thing about it. 
     

    I know I’m repeating myself but this is all just so fucking dumb

    Someone should remind him that his first round of Chinese tariffs resulted in a record trade deficit.

    If Trump runs again, can we get Obama to run again?

    Obama would wind up in jail or in exile if he expressed any interest in running against Trump.

    Maybe. Or maybe we’d just have a bunch of dead black guys.

    This is what I've been saying over and over. Dems need to hang this shit on Congressional R's. Scream it from the mountain tops. DOTarD is fucking you over, hard. And Congress is letting him do it. 

    Introduce bills to stop this shit. They won't pass, but it might help to get the message out there. 

    The right-wing media bubble is impenetrable.

    Lol. Good luck with that. If they didn’t hear it on a Fox News prime time opinion show, it never happened.

    Other legal experts, however, point to the last sentence of the 12th Amendment, which covers the Electoral College, as a roadblock for any twice-elected president attempting to return to the White House through the vice presidency. It says that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

    Still, in court, a lawyer could try to argue that being a "natural born" citizen, at least 35 years old and a resident within the U.S. for at least 14 years are the only presidential eligibility requirements specified in the Constitution, says Stephen Gillers, a professor emeritus at New York University School of Law, who proposed in 2004 that Clinton run for vice president.

    "I want to make it very clear that I'm identifying an argument that Trump could make in order to get back into the White House. I'm not endorsing it," Gillers says. "But we know from experience that even if it's far-fetched and it offers the possibility of a third presidential term, Trump will make it. If his health holds up, he will make the argument he likes the job. Whether or not it succeeds in court is another matter."

    Gillers posits that Trump "could make a deal" with Vance that, ahead of the 2028 election, they switch places on the Republican ticket, and if they win the White House again, Vance resigns and Trump becomes president.

    To avoid any debate about whether the 12th Amendment forbids presidential electors from choosing a twice-elected president as vice president, Gillers says there could be a similar arrangement in which Trump does not run on the winning Republican ticket but, after the newly elected vice president resigns, becomes vice president with congressional approval.

    "It is not implausible. And just the existence of the possibility of it in the next four years gives Trump power that enhances his position," Gillers says. "The members of Congress in 2027 will know that they're not dealing with a lame duck necessarily because Trump could still hold out, through 2027 and 2028, the possibility of his return to power and the power that that possibility gives him — to get Congress to bend to his will."

    Does anyone seriously believe Trump would trust Vance (or anyone not named Trump) to step down if they’re elected president and allow him to take their place?

    He really meant a day by saying ‘24 hours.’

    And he never specified which planet that day would be on. A Venus day is 225 earth days.

    Trump now says his campaign pledge to end the war in 24 hrs if elected was sarcasm.

    Trump should put a huge statue in the middle of the Pentagon of the guy who killed Pat Tillman. The people who object to it will be outed as libtards and RINOs.

    Only if the shooter was American.

    I mean putin did it so........

    Putin was never vice president. He was prime minister. We don’t have that here. Trump’s narcissism won’t allow him to be VP even in name only. He will seek to remain president in 2029 by whatever means possible. History tells us that. He’s already telegraphing that. He has no intention of yielding power.

    The way, apparently, would be to run as VP to someone who wins the Presidential election and abdicates/resigns.

    That won’t happen.
