That's one hell of a sense of entitlement.

Rapist-level sense of entitlement.

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?

Arm yourselves.

Tell that to Mother Nature, Gramps.

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. 👍

Look, if the U.S. Military were going to uphold the Constitution he already wouldn’t be President anymore.

military is for external threats, you don't want them playing cop

Sorry, asshole - the only thing you are entitled to is life in prison.

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.

It's also one hell of a casus belli.

Until you do. When shit hits the fan it generally comes down to which side the military sides with.

I feel like this would be civil war

He’s literally never seen accountability. The pedofile parasite class fails up

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.

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.

the stupidest motherfucker in the country can do the math to see it's unconstitutional

It's not at all unconstitutional for Trump to enjoy a third term as president. All the Constitution says is that he can't be elected a third time. There's nothing that says he cannot run as VP and then succeed into POTUS once Vance steps down.

That's not true. If a vice president assumes the office, that still counts as a term even though he's not elected. I also believe there is a stipulation that no one disqualified from holding the presidency can be VP, though idk what is spelled out and what is just interpretation.

Something something kamala palistine

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.

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?

What odds are the bookies giving on hamberder clogged arteries winning before this term is up?

Only thing this guy is entitled to is a fair trial, three hots and a cot.

Someone with better aim this time, I hope.

Guns

They’ve spent the last year removing opposition in the military

And as much M855 green tips as you can get

dictators fear most is a strong military that can initate a coup de tat anytime, thats why almost all countries with a dictator have very weak militaries, but a strong well funded secret police state.

something something, she is cackling like a hyena.

The governor of every state has the right to call out that state's National Guard in the event of emergencies, and it is my sincere hope the states start to do it pre-emptively, NOW, even via state legislation, so that the NG are already under orders to protect the polls by the time November rolls around.

Without the NG, he has nothing tested and true but ICE, and their numbers are shit compared to the National Guard.

Dimethyl mercury

He'll be dead by the end of the year. I'd be more worried about what vance Peter Thiel has planned.

Oh, is it her turn again?

"Because Joe Biden cheated!"

"So what you're saying is you deserve a term to replace the one you lost in 2020?"

"Yes!"

I highly doubt it. All evidence so far points to most Americans either shrugging or actively supporting this and a minority of Americans either complaining about it but doing nothing or organizing yet another lawful protest that's not going to change anything.

Trump has been getting away with everything, because Americans accept it. And yes, I know, it's not every individual American, but as a whole.. they do accept his crap. He wouldn't still be president otherwise.

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.

Anyways half of the USA will immigrate, maybe UK or somewhere in Europe, and the rest will stay there, stacked with Trump telling lies. Like why would you want to fight for you country? jeez.

Yeah I know, unfortunately. But I'm still holding out that living as a narcissist for his entire life has put a ton of strain on his body and he'll have a stroke or something. He'll never admit it (obv), but he knows tons of people hate him. Just look at how he reacts to any negative attention, like the recent SOTU where he got pissy that the dems wouldn't stand and applaud for him.

Deep down in his lizard brain he knows he's a piece of barely human garbage and it wears on his fatfuck old bones.

If you think any European country will take millions of foreign immigrants, you're in for a surprise mate.

He is fully entitled to a third, life-term in prison for being a traitor.
I hear Epstein's cell is empty.

Even a stroke clot needs to form somewhere. The full body MRI would very likely pick that up months before a stroke would happen.

Edit: Sorry to annoy you with basic medical facts for everyone downvoting my comment -_-

One that do-nothing Americans have done nothing but tacitly encourage.

Get off your asses, you fucking cowards. Though, this is like the thirtieth red line. You let all the others be crossed without lifting a finger- I have zero confidence you’ll start now.

They could start getting nasty a year ago

I sincerely hope that this is the entitlement that Bitch McConnell always wanted to get rid of.

Sounds like you’ve read Amendment 22:

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. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

But you definitely haven’t read Amendment 12:

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

No, the bullshit technicality he’s trying to pull out of his ass is still unconstitutional.

That's why trump doesn't like alternative forms of energy. He needs gas for lighting.
