Yeah, I'm over the "Nazi salute"... it's clearly a distraction.

Let's hope while Trump is in California he takes us to the giant facet that he says releases all the water.

Stay in school, kids.

-C!

Reminder that to even start the process, a Constitutional amendment must be passed by a two-thirds majority of both houses of Congress (not just a simple majority).  After that, it must be ratified by 3/4 of the states.  Which obviously is not going to happen in this case.  So this is not a serious proposal, it's simply the Republican equivalent of virtue signalling (call it vice signalling, maybe?).  It's nothing more than a lickspittle politician seeking to show the voters his complete fealty to the emperor.

The only plausible legal method for Trump to get a third term that I've seen floated is the idea of him running for Vice President in 2028, alongside a lackey Presidential candidate who would promise to resign on day one.  That idea would have to get past the Supreme Court (which is possible but not a given).  If it did though, it would open the door to Obama pulling the same stunt.

Call me optimistic, but I'm not so sure there's going to be a great clamor for a third Trump term in 2028.  He has his hardcore 38% of voters who seemingly would follow him into the gates of Hell, but the decisive part of his winning margin last year was former Biden voters who think prices are too high and think Trump has the magic power to lower them.  When that doesn't happen, I don't know that they would be eager to vote for him again. 

If we want to engage in pessimism, I think a more realistic fear would be Trump seeking illegal means of staying in office.

He could put a crown on his head.  Hardly unprecedented. 

Or in other words: When shit goes bad for them,  fuck them.

There's no way in hell they can say they didn't see this coming.

My larger concern isn’t so much that there won’t be democratic turnout as that a lot of damage can be done to the voting system in two years. BUT many of the states in question have democratic governors and AGs… who the hell knows. Maybe Trump will create some kind of peaceful utopia of shiny happy rich people in the next two years.  But I doubt it.
