  1. It takes epic levels of incompetence to o this. No one should believe this admin is serious about the China threat.
  2. I’m not a lawyer.
  3. Trump wants to have Kid Rock, Bill Maher, and maybe Dana White to the Oval.
  4. Historically presidents have retired from public life but what if one didn’t? No prohibition on running for office and becoming speaker or president pro temp, and being in the line of succession. Our institutions (and most others) are designed for people who can be trusted to respect them, which was what John Adams was trying to get at when he said “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
  5. I mean, yes, this is absolutely true on all counts.
  6. This is the constitutional question, which is murky. The 12th says: no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States. The 22nd says: 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. The argument hinges on the difference between “being President” and “being elected President.” The only disqualifications explicitly spelled out for “being President” is to be under 35 or not a natural born U.S. citizen. Trump’s team has a fairly clear argument here that if the 22nd meant to say a two-turn President can never BE President or hold the office, they could have written it to say so.
  7. Constituional law- famously non-pedantic.
  8. No, what I mean is that the 12th is what @jimmyjazz is citing about being VP. 12th: No one ineligible to BE president can be VP. 22nd: No POTUS can be ELECTED to a third term. Two different things. The Constitution only requires you to be over 35 and natural born citizen to BE president. And you can become President without being elected. 2028: Vance selects Trump as VP, explicitly promises to step aside and let DJT take office. This is constitutionally murky but there is an argument.
  9. The 22nd amendment does not say Trump is ineligible to be POTUS. It says he’s ineligible to be elected at POTUS. Thats a big loophole for the 12th.
  10. He didn’t say he’d be elected. People need to take this seriously, he didn’t leave voluntarily the first time and his verbiage is a direct output of his brain.
  11. Silly. That’s on the lines of a rumpus. A ruckus is most likely a donnybrook.
  12. Ruckus is worse than a kerfluffle or commotion but not as bad as a fracas or melee.
  13. My dad refusing to get me a Nintendo in 1988 proving absolutely correct that video games rot your brain and I need to go outside.
  14. Lemony grilled calamari, grilled eggplant baba ganoush, and a cucumber-tomato salad with fresh oregano.
  15. Almost anything security related we might want to do in Greenland we could by just asking the Danes. They (were) among the most pragmatic and cooperative, pro-American nations in the world. This is about Trump wanting to be a president that expanded the United States. Nothing more
  16. In which UAW workers for Ford, GM, Stellantis learn they aren’t the employed by American companies.
  17. Wake up babe, new Signal cope just dropped.
  18. This is mostly about protecting Tesla.
  19. Man, this is bleak. Entered the realm of real dystopia. That’s the branding of “America.”
  20. In any normal admin, NSA or SecDef or both would already have been forced to commit seppuku so this would go away. That isn’t happening here because the admin assembled a cabinet of imbeciles for the express purpose of making the Congressional GOP eat shit and roll over. It is axiomatic that there will be more and worse fuckups than this. That’s the price of building the League of Extraordinary Halfwits. They can’t give up a scalp this early.
  21. Congress: DNI Gabbard, why are you retweeting Russian propaganda. DNI Gabbard: Cause I agree with it and can say so when I’m not doing my stupid job of directing American intelligence. Anastasis: *sullies underpants*
  22. Good news. We didn’t let her be President and she’s never held another government job!
