    He’s not kidding. He’s building a fucking ballroom, a project that will go past 2029. He has no intention of ever leaving office. He won’t leave unless physically forced to. Fuck you if you think the government will make him leave just because the law says they will

    “Cracks a joke”. Nobody just says “cracks” that way. Clickbait title choice.

        Have you seen the instructions for eating an elephant?

        One bite at a time.

        Even a baby step in the right direction is the right direction.

      Fuck the media. They should have been reporting on project 2025 nonstop during the election. Somehow it’s not considered “objective” reporting to say when a political party are objectively fascists who intend to strip away people’s rights

      I don’t think Trump likes his kids that much.

      He’s also worked fairly hard to not have a successor, because he’s a malignant narcissist who doesn’t care what happens after he’s gone.

    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.

        It only says a person can be elected to at most two terms. It doesn’t say they can’t be perpetually elected Speaker of the House and then succeed to President when the elected President and Vice President both resign. So that’s why we need a Democratic-controlled Congress to elect Obama as Speaker and then impeach and remove Trump and Vance.

      Laws without enforcement are just words on a piece of paper.

      Not to mention, amendments have been repealed before. And if anybody thinks that Trump will do it through official channels, assuming he bothers, I have a bridge to sell them.

            A phrase I heard 20 years ago that stuck with me about people who want to move to the woods if things get bad: “if you aren’t already prepared, it’s too late.”

            I hope they were wrong. They probably weren’t, though.

          The people of Ukraine were woefully unprepared a few years ago as well. People learn quick with the right motivation.

            In 2014, the Ukrainian army was fucked. It took 8 years of being occupied for them to “get ready.” They built up and prepared and had the backing of the EU to do so.

            Your comparison is not sound.

          Both aides are. In the entire western world, we live a life of luxury and comfort. There is real hunger and poverty, right beside uber eats delivery and people paying for consuming just to document it online.

          In order to be able to read and replicate a journal article you really need an advanced degree or to do all the work it takes to get one. That demographic skews fairly heavily in one direction. Masami Tsuchiya only had a master’s degree and he built an entire functioning chemical weapons factory on a fairly limited budget. That was way back in the 90s too. The worst things you could do now are 10x easier and could wipe out millions or billions.

          War is more than shooting guns. Taking down grids and disrupting supply lines are all effective.

          I thought Russia would take Ukraine in 3 days. Russia might have a bigger army, but a bigger stick doesn’t mean bigger brain.

            Cool. Do you have one at the ready? Are you able to find one if you don’t when stores are closed down? When was the last time you saw a pitchfork at the hardware store?

            If you’re in a rural area, you’ll be more likely to respond with, “Last week,” but when shit goes down, it won’t be in the 'burbs or in the country. That’s where it’ll end up, though.

    Yeah… jokes. Anything bad he says is always a joke, even when it isn’t. Hell, especially when it isn’t. These stupid media fuckers need to stop with the damn kid gloves. But hey, long as they get their money they don’t give a fuck about us, hell, they’ll even sell us out to the highest bidder.
