The Real timschochet

I think so, federally. Of course states have their own. I would give Supreme Court Justices a 10 year limit. Of course the President could then reappoint them if desired.

I also don’t like that you have to be 35 and born in this country to be President. If a 26 dude from Japan or Nigeria or whatever would make the best President then that’s who we should choose. Throw out all these stupid rules.

Now that this question has (seemingly) been settled, I would like to add the thought that I personally think a President SHOULD be able to run for a third term, and a fourth, and as long as the people want him. Why not? I’m not a fan of term limits- we already have them with elections every 4 years. Remember that the only reason two terms was written into the Constitution was because Republicans were pissed off that FDR ran for 4 terms. They ignored the fact that, if he hadn’t run again in 1940, there would have been no Lend-Lease and the Nazis win World War II. So if I had my way I would scrap that amendment. Just saying.

Trump has now said definitely that he can’t run for a third term and so he won’t. “It’s really too bad.” He said. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/trump-pretty-clear-run-3rd-term/story?id=126968713

You continue to make the assumption that I place Israel and Hamas on equal moral levels. Hamas is evil. I rarely comment on them except to wish they would be eradicated. I fully expect them to do bad things and they rarely fail to do them. The Israelis are the good guys. Of late they’re the good guys doing some awful things. That’s why I criticize them. They’re worth criticizing because I know they can behave better. In this case I don’t believe Hamas’ actions, evil and awful as they were, justify Israel breaking the ceasefire.

It’s not going to end badly either way. Be of good cheer. But Trump’s trade policies aren’t helping. For industry, and particularly retail industry to be robust we need to have as free trade as possible. Trump doesn’t seem to understand this and he’s hurting us in real time.

After the Israeli strikes yesterday, which killed 104, Israel now says the ceasefire is back in place: https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-west-bank-hamas-gaza-445eea84db9c19600b9ab92786b7fb7c Apparently Israel can simply choose to accept or ignore the agreement whenever it wants.

If we keep going the way we’re going by the time the bet is due $5000 might not buy you a couple of family nights out to eat.

To be honest this is not really a fear I share. Dude will be 83. Doubt he wants it. I am far more concerned about the damage to the country he is doing NOW. 2028 is a long way off. We need to get past the current disaster.

This lie started long before Trump. Rush Limbaugh told them the only people getting food stamps were lazy blacks and illegal Mexicans. Now they accept it as gospel. You can keep telling them the truth but they’ll never accept it.

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4332046-the-memo-hunter-biden-goes-on-the-offense-against-gop-tormentors/amp/ In response to Congress’ subpoena, Hunter Biden has agreed to testify, but only if it’s public so that the American people can see it and the House members can’t manipulate his testimony. Naturally Republicans refuse. “This won’t stand” says Comer. Once again the House Republicans look ridiculous.

There is not a single person reading this, who has read your posts over the years, who would honestly deny that “gotcha” is your main go to. You thrive on it. You pull up other people’s posts from years ago, even decades. Denying it now just makes you look stupid (which you are but you don’t want to look that way,)

The principle is a larger one- that Trump cannot arbitrarily choose to restrict or stop spending already authorized by Congress. Do you agree with that principle?

Maybe you can give him pointers? Though perhaps not since you’ve never managed to get over it yourself.

80% might be low. I’m being conservative here.

You’re sure starting a lot of threads today. All of them ridiculous.

Thanks for the correction. I figured she was talking about the shutdown. But I assumed correctly it was out of context because that’s always the sort of sh!t these guys try to pull.

You’re quite correct, I know very little about the stuff you find humorous. Since you freely throw around words like “retard” and “libtard” I suspect I really don’t want to.

Notice you guys all make similar jokes- laugh at special education, special Olympics- classy stuff. Why not throw in a few gay/trans remarks while you’re at it?

Lol you just accept the Trump numbers as gospel. OK. I’ve written several times that at the end of Trump’s term when Newsom takes over there will be more undocumented immigrants here than at the start. I may be wrong about that (we’ll see) but it won’t be by much.

It would not require changing the law. Please present the law that says that all undocumented people must be deported. TIA

I just told you- 2nd most watched show on MSNBC. MSNBC can’t compete with Fox in ratings. Liberals and independents have busy lives. Fox is a religion in certain parts of this country. (which is the reason that conservatives like yourself are so full of misinformation.)

Maybe Ken Paxton’s wife can sue Tylenol for her husband’s misbehavior?

Also @edjr before you accuse anyone else of avoiding a topic perhaps look in the mirror? You posted, falsely, this morning that 1.5 million undocumented immigrants were receiving food stamps- it turned out that 1.5 million noncitizens were receiving food stamps- almost none of them undocumented. And after this was pointed out to you, no response.

Because it’s silly. It’s a different context. In 2025 she was specifically referring to the shutdown.
