He might also just have one of his sons run for President and him as VP..

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 16 hours ago

I wouldn't call them "allies", this is confusing when you talk about fascists. Call them "his axis of evil" instead.

No one says "Hitler fought with allies against Brittain". Since we're in a new world war, let's be clear about who are the allies and who are the axis.

this is what you get when you elect piss hitler. Next is annexation of greenland and after that likely ww3 if people continue to be apathetic.

When will the American public use the guns they've been hording to protect themselves against tyranny, against the tyranny?

they dont see conservatives as tyrants. Conservatism is a team-based ideology. Those on the team have leave to break the law with impunity, and are even lauded for it. It only becomes a problem with progressive liberals try to do it, then it's wrong and worthy of insurrection.

Barack Obama has the chance to do something pretty funny here

Maybe he can go up on a debate stage and talk about how the security of Israel is vital to American interests in the region.

Long term effect of not seriously holding this man accountable for Jan 6. He thinks he is untouchable.

Until proven otherwise, he is.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 day ago

And, unfortunately, he's correct.

[–] varyingExpertise@feddit.org 17 points 1 day ago

Well, based on extended measurements: He is.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

Republicans stopped any kind of accountability and are not firing him now. They can stop him at any second.

[–] borQue@lemmy.zip 9 points 23 hours ago

They apparently elect some fascist egoist and want to rule the world. How can they be so utterly narrowminded... they cannot even think about the WHOLE of human kind on this tiny ball in this split second of it's excistance and act accordingly? Is this counrtry really that stupid? WTF is going on??? Did evolution made an error with these ppl? I am worried, dissapointed and angry about the devolution they create. We are easily 85 years back in time.

Could nature and biology please take care of Trump, please. Before billionaires fund, find and can afford life-extending drugs and live for 200 years.

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 3 points 20 hours ago

Trump isn't the problem, he's a symptom, US imperialism, capitalism, western chauvinism and nearly a century of liberalism led us here. We need to remove the ruling class from power, hold them accountable, restore justice, and create a new future, free from the corrupting influence of capitalism

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 day ago (5 children)

European here. Is a third term actually illegal/unconstitutional or is it "just" defacto illegal/unconstitutional?

[–] jve@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

It’s the 22nd Amendment

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

Pretty unambiguous.

Extending his rein would mean he either Stops Elections, gets the constitution amended, or most insidious.. just refuses to transfer power, and seeing if our military is actually complicit with the pedophile class against its own citizenry.

Jan 6 is going to completely embolden them to try again. Is there enough MAGA to make it happen again despite it all?

EDIT: extended rant

We should stop calling them "trump allies" and start calling them "trump axis."

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We already have a name for them, it's the GOP. Grand Old Pedophiles

Retroactively granting him the 2020 term, and in exchange terminating the current one would be a fine deal.

[–] boogiebored@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Saw this coming a bajillion miles away.

Entitled? So the narccisist of narccisists is now also the Karen of karens.

To Trump: Technically you're NOT entitled to a third term, as you're inelligible to run for a third term. Sincerely, all Americans

[–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Y'all gotta make sure term length can't be redefined

You're going to end up with presidential term limits like copywrite law

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

article II, section 1, paragraph 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America:

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:

It’s not even in an amendment, it’s defined in the original text. No way he gets enough states together to ratify an amendment to increase his term length.

He is fully entitled to a third, life-term in prison for being a traitor. I hear Epstein's cell is empty.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I used to advocate for a life terms for the top MAGAs. That was after the first term, the Insurrection, and the stolen classified documents. After this second term, capital punishment is on the table.

They should have quit while they were ahead.

[–] sen@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Comments like this are what keep getting me banned on Reddit, but I'll keep saying it on every platform:

Pedophiles get the rope. Pedophile protectors can swing alongside them. Insurrectionists and traitors get the firing squad. ICE gets to bleed out slowly.

That's one hell of a sense of entitlement.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 142 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Rapist-level sense of entitlement.

If he's literally fucked without consent, what makes people think he wouldn't figuratively fuck the people collectively without it too?

That's why trump doesn't like alternative forms of energy. He needs gas for lighting.
