Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Imagine the Dems brought Obama back

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms...

Obama served 2 consecutive terms so would be ineligible. They literally wrote this so that only Trump would be eligible.

Even in their fantasies they're scared of Obama.

FTA" "Trump “has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal,”" - He hasn't don't anything yet!! How has he 'proven himself'

He's proven that he's a fascist and demented psycho, so that's good enough for republicans.

God damn. I've never seen a group of people lick asshole so hard and ask for seconds. These people box Trump's tonsils digging that tongue so far in it's unbelievable

On one hand: called it. On the other: fuck.

Do they really expect their orange beanbag leader to still be alive in four years? And if he still is, to still be able to know his own name or speak coherently in public?

Surely we would all actually show up to try to fight this, right? If it passed.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Absolutely. People talk about another civil war. If you start hearing about spontaneous violence in the streets, that's when you need to worry. I think if this actually passed, we'd start hearing about stuff like that.

Realistically, Republicans know this has no chance of passing. Frankly, I think this is just mean-spirited trolling--which is a good indicator of the state of our politics. We want to see the other side suffer.

They introduce it now, and even some conservatives laugh it off as "just a joke," but within the next 4 years, it will be raised many more times, each time with them getting more serious. They put it out there like this so it's less shocking the second, third, and fourth time you hear it. By the end, every conservative bootlicking moron will be lining up to say "presidents should be allowed to have an uninterrupted span of 8 years of rule so as to enact the agenda we 'voted' for!"

It's predictable. I'm going to buy some guns and start hitting the range.

California could be broken into 66 Wyoming-sized states.
