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

His 2nd term would just run over.... Martial law would suspend elections and he wouldn't need to "run" again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

This is what I expect. Taps side of head don't need a third term if the second one just keeps going.

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.

I heard he’s been approached for a new job - starts next week.

Trump is more Poop than Pope

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

Would it be legal if they made him speaker after jan and then had the pres and vp resign?

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.

That's a nice thought but in my experience the strongest members of the pit throw fists regardless of what anyone else does because they want to show everyone they're the strongest

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

If that happens a bunch of punks jump that one dude. In my experience.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, doesn't consider it because he decided already.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

He's not considering because there will be no election.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

We already know he lies, so the only reason to share what he says is if you want him to remain influential.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for saying this. I saw the headline and thought something similar.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

Hard to run 6’ down

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

Why would he have to run again?

Once he declares himself King

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

EVERY person who wants to run for president says they don't want to run for president.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

He promised no elections if he won this term

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

He'll run. When the people reach their breaking point and come for him, he'll run.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago

I know better than to believe his lies.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

There is only one response to anyone and everyone that brings this up:

OBAMA 2028 !!!!!!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children)

He's going to be dead. He's so fucking old and unhealthy, guys. He's going to be eating a hamburger tomorrow and his heart is just going to give the fuck up on his hateful ass.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

"1 day ago“ Today's the day!!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

I will throw a party when this happens.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Every damn day. I wake up every damn day and check the news. Someday.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's pronounced... hamberder

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

He's already decided to do it. There is nothing to consider.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

He's not going to run. Did you see him dancing around and leaving early during the last six months of the 2024 election? He doesn't need to run and no one needs to vote.
