Orange stain second term results thread

[zinfamous]

Trump won't run for a third term, and there's no path for a constitutional amendment.

Also, he'll be 82 by the time the next term starts, so we'll see how well he is by then.

have you been asleep for 8 years or something? Or simply the last 2 months?

What is his path to a third term?

What is his path to a third term?

The ongoing coup

The ongoing coup

There is no way a third term is going to happen. Really you can say that the ending would be a civil war and no more US, but there's no way the current system will exist with Trump running for a 3rd term. States are also in charge of the elections, but even so - Blue states will not have it. NY, California, etc etc will defect.

This screams pedantic.
Our Republic is currently in the position Rome was after Ceaser crossed the Rubicon.
Trump is Emperor in everything but name. Republicans keep increasing the power of the executive and they're not going to stop.

At this stage the only thing that matters is the White House and the Military. The rest of our Government is history.

as you where already asked: have you been sleeping the last 2 months? Trump has been systimatically tearing down/tearing apart, attempting to destroy, the current system since he became President again.

SCOTUS said that states could not bar him from the ballot regardless of reason and that the only remedy is impeachment AFTER he's elected. There is literally nothing preventing him from running a 3rd time. The press will almost certainly normalize it as they do everything with him.

Only a matter of time

European military powers work on 5-10 year plan to replace US in Nato

Europe’s biggest military powers are drawing up plans to take on greater responsibilities for the continent’s defence from the US, including a pitch to the Trump administration for a managed transfer over the next five to 10 years.

The discussions are an attempt to avoid the chaos of a unilateral US withdrawal from Nato, a fear sparked by President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to weaken or walk away from the transatlantic alliance that has protected Europe for almost eight decades...

I'm looking forward to this announcement by Europe.

I called the Paul Weiss law firm in NYC and said kissing the ring to Trump was pretty insulting, got sent to a voicemail. Called them in D.C. and said I heard on the internet you are the 'Marco Rubio of law firms, how does that feel?' the guy said OMG and sent me to VM lololol

Make up your mind, do we have to be gathered or just react? There's a steady stream of protests happening in cities across the country.

I said

You don't have to be gathered, you just have to react to some events.

And yes, you need to do better. These are rookie numbers. Get 100k in Washington DC, or whatever. Then you'll be seen

Look what the serbs do in a city of under 1.5 million

Of course they are, they have no problem with it, just like they think it should be legal to run over protestors blocking the road to the local 7 Eleven.

The way SCOTUS decided the Colorado ballot case makes a 3rd run very much a possibility. It held that any enforcement of the 14th sec 3 would have to come from congress and only after the fact once the election took place. Knowing this, you'd have to assume that the same situation would be in place should anyone attempt a similar exercise with the 25th. Meaning, that only AFTER he runs would it be possible to enforce, and what odds are you giving that the current congressional make up is actually going to go against their orange Hitler???

I would like for you to want to be American, and be proud of where you live.

I used to be proud to be an American and where I live but it's become very hard to be that way and after the November election, for me, not broadly possible. I'm appalled. Here's a song that addresses this (album came out in 1986):

The Mice - Not Proud of the USA

Lyrics:

Dad, you say you're proud of the USA
You’re so proud of the USA
When it moves you in many ways
Dad, the blood of the Indian tribes
Was it spilled so we could have such lives?
Where we wave flags above their graves

And Dad, I'm not proud of the USA
I'm not proud of the USA
I’m not proud of the USA

Man, look at Rome and Babylon
Even Egypt sat beneath the sun
Now it looks like their days are done
And yes, time was on their side too
Just as you say to [?]
And maybe 'cause I'm American too

But Dad, I'm not proud of the USA
I'm not proud of the USA
I'm not proud of the USA

When I was boy, I was told to believe America was all that was
And just because
And that red, white, and blue could justify everything you do
As long as you had pride deep down inside
But there's a world out there
There's a world out there
There’s a world out there, we got to care
We can’t raise the flag up everywhere!

And Dad, I'm not proud of the USA
I’m not proud of the USA
I'm not proud of the USA

Man, you see I ain't got no time to stay
My mother hid in the woods and then she ran away
She told the FBI and CIA

'Cause Dad, I’m not proud of the USA
I'm not proud of the USA
I'm not proud of the USA

Not proud of the USA
Not proud of the USA
Not proud of the USA
Not proud of the USA

It's probably ok. There aren't any pesky door pins ...

*glances at BDS shitshow across multiple complex products*

I guess we need to define "ok" in their context.

To be honest, I didn't realise they were still alive, yet alone still performing. But I suppose another case of the "free speech absolutists" excluding people because they don't like what they've said.

Members of British punk rock band UK Subs denied entry into the US

Three members of the pioneering band were detained and returned to the UK after flying to Los Angeles for a gig

He was informed the flagging was for two reasons: first, he was told he had an incorrect visa, but he was also told that there was another reason that the agents would not disclose to him.

“I can’t help but wonder whether my frequent, and less than flattering, public comments regarding their president and his administration played a role – or perhaps I’m simply succumbing to paranoia,” he said.

The band, considered pioneers in the genre of British punk rock, have been outspokenly critical of Trump and his policies in the past. They are known to often make political statements during live performances.

Gonna have to add this one to the set list.

Sounds completely normal. I mean Boeing has such an excellent record on contract execution, with no cost over runs. For that matter so does Lockheed. We had a calendar made one year with a civilian hand shaking a military hand and my comment was where was the bunch of money in between them. We were always competing against GD, GE, and Lockheed, mostly unsuccessfully.

So, Customs won't let foreign travelers into the USA who have publicly criticized the Trump administration now? That's unconstitutional, reprehensible, horrible, disgusting, heinous, fascistic, vile. What next? US citizens being harassed, denied services, herded up and incarcerated, annihilated? This is looking like Nazi Germany and present-day Russia.

 

[you2]

That's unconstitutional, reprehensible, horrible, disgusting, heinous, fascistic, vile.

Is the bold part actually true for non-citizens going through customs ?
