In other words he’s seeking a 3rd term, constitution pending or not.

    In 2018, while serving his 4th presidential term, Putin publicly declared that he wasn’t going to run for the 3rd term (he forgot to count the first two, stuff like that happens, you know). He is now serving his 5th term.

    There’s all sorts of other crazy options to consider like simply “stretching” this term out for a while. Any emergency will do.

    He’s not running because they’re going to run a puppet actor in his place. Once the new deep state actors rig the elections in battleground states, they can bait and switch him in. Scotus will allow it as a “creative interpretation” of the constitution. Everyone is fucked here.

    In the mosh pit, if someone crosses a line, say they shove a small kid down or grab a girl by her breasts or throw a Nazi salute, the pit reacts.

    “Get him!” someone will shout.

    Then the offender gets stomped the fuck out.

    If you can’t play nice the strongest members of the pit take you out.

    Not sure why I’m thinking about pit protocols now.

    Just waiting for someone to shout “get him” I guess.

      Also, there has been more than a few days’ worth of data proving that he can’t really be taken for granted for more than one and a half minutes.

      He promised no elections if he won this term

      I believe him when he says he doesn’t want to “run”

        He’s said plenty of crazy shit, no need to invent things.
