Exactly.  Opening up the floodgates and not even checking who they let in is the worst thing I have ever seen our government do to this country.  It’s even worse than the wars they have lied about. In the middle of a pandemic no less. And they make us pay for it.  

Yup, perfectly stated.

Fok you dipchit.  Stop editing my posts. You don't have the intelligence to discern reality let alone what context is in others posts.

He's still talking about it.  You're nuts if you think he's not gonna try if he's still alive.

That didn't take long 

Geek club told me this would never happen. 

Poor gutterboy.

He can talk all he wants.  The Constitution is quite clear, and an amendment would never sniff passing.

Otherwise, I can see why you are riled up about this.  After all, Trump never just says what comes to his mind, so if he did, his word is gospel and it will magically happen.

So just to get you on record, you are opposed to Trump running in 2028, or staying in office by other means for a third term?

Of course.  I have yet to vote for Trump in a primary, and I certainly wouldn't do so now.

"Staying in office by other means" sounds like tin foil hat stuff.  Perhaps get some air today, touch your bare feet to grass?

My thing with Don and this talk he won’t leave is I thought it was a bit much when people said he wouldn’t leave if he lost in 2020. We then saw his pathetic act. I assumed that would kill off his political future. Well he’s somehow back.

It seems at least somewhat plausible he wouldn’t leave this time. The chances are way higher than zero

I don’t buy Republicans who say this would be too much. They’d just roll over and like they always do.

[Grace Under Pressure 156]

They’re going to come up with a workaround. MAGA will support it because they are gullible cult members who are too invested in the cult leader to oppose it. Trump is more important to them than America is. Pathetic traitors.

The bolded is why I think there is a like 25% chance it happens. Who in the Republican party has the balls to stand up to him and his machine? You'd need a coalition of politicians on both sides who would step up and I don't know if there are enough Republicans willing to stand up to him- mainly because they know they usually lose when Trump isn't on the ballot. 

[jerryskids 7,052]

I see a lot of people need to touch some grass today.   

Someone please walk me through how this might work.   

[SaintsInDome2006 607]

If the Congress is inactive & the USSC is cowed (& at best full of long delays) no there’s nothing to stop him. We just have constant breaches of the Constitution.

Why do people say that MAGA is a cult, dems aren't?

The USSC has given Trump two paths:

- We know any act Trump claims is official is protected by presidential immunity. This just encourages Trump to state anything he does is 1. Official and 2. An emergency.

- Colorado banned Trump from its ballot on the basis he had engaged in insurrection. There was a trial, Trump had top flight lawyers there. (Please I don’t want to talk about if it was an insurrection). The USSC decided that *States can’t declare when a president or presidential candidate has engaged in insurrection, only Congress can. So if Congress is either not in session or completely tied up (constantly) there’s nothing for a state to keep him off the ballot anywhere.

You guys.....Too funny.   Why do we need 4 more of Trump when we have 8 years of JD Vance on the docket?   Total republican ownership of the White House for 11 more years!

Actually this is the sort of thing that happens in 3rd world countries, yes I agree the primary factor in keeping Trump off the ballot is the pressure from competing factions, especially the Thiel faction. That’s where we are, it’s not a constitutional argument, it’s just raw power.

I’m all ears. What happens procedurally if Trump were to seek a 3rd term under some legal theory which we all believe to be completely ridiculous.

Sure.  Just like 20% tariffs were a negotiation tactic.  Or detention camps would never happen.  Or Trump will never break the law.  All tin foil hat stuff.

[thegeneral 3,548]

The guy argued he won in 2020 because of Venezuelan voting machines and Chinese bamboo ballots among a thousand other crazy things. Had Senators presenting fake electors to the Vice President. None of it worked. It’s very unlikely Trump would stay in power in 2028, unlikely he’ll be physically, mentally capable.

But it’s not a zero percent chance and it’s way higher than any other two term prez. It’s ok to admit it.

It’s also ok to admit there would be a sizable chunk of people who would think this is ok, and lots of them are in our government, Congress, etc.

Yes...There are a sizeable number of people who would support it.  Just as there were and still are a sizeable amount of people who think Obama should run again.  BFD.   When you try to demonize your opponent's position, and you don't think about your own side, you look stupid.  Saying "a sizeable amount of people support it" is basic b!tch stuff.

I bolded the most important part of your poorly thought out post however
