Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If Trump tried to run for a third term, could Obama run against him?
No. Obama is term-limited. Trump is not, because (choose one or more):
One more I've heard from the MAGAs in my workplace: Trump did not actually get a first term because the Democrats obstructed him so 2024 is actually his first term
Then I guess Obama gets two more terms, because Republicans obstructed him.
No, none of this is based on logic. It's just words, like LLM words; it means nothing.
Have you seen Frieren? Demons only talk to confuse. They have no moral values. They appeal to ours only to not be killed, but it's a ruse every time.
The same is true for fascists. None of this makes sense. It only serves to confuse, delay, obstruct, until they get what they want. They string together words so that our brains go brrr, but they're infants babbling sounds. Stop talking to them as equals, they don't see you as one. They see us as prey, as slaves, as livestock. And most don't realize they're livestock, too.
I get you were being sarcastic. I'm just mad.
Grover Cleveland's corpse could run, though
Would still vote for it over Trump.
Weekend at Grover's. I'd watch that.
You know how I know I'm too stoned right now? I can actually picture this being a sitcom with Drew Carey starring as Grover Cleveland. I'm telling you, there's something there, and I'm going to go ponder what that is over some more weed.
I will go get high enough to forget why we discussed it, and to have an appropriately ridiculous response to your sitcom pitch.
You laugh, but remember that at one time, someone walked into a boardroom and actually said " So, I've got this idea for a new cartoon. It's about a sponge. And it lives in a pineapple......", and is now a millionaire many, many times over.
So who do we get to play the two dudes that have to Weekend at Bernies Drew Carey around the oval office all day?
We already tried running a corpse at the start of this campaign and it had too low of approval ratings to win.
Yes, he could. But, that would require real elections, which is a pipe dream now
We shouldn't even entertain the idea of third terms. It's starts normalizing it.
We shouldn't have normalized letting traitors run for office. But SCOTUS deemed the constitution "unenforceable".
We need to normalize the constitution. But people acted like the 14th amendment was "novel" and now there's precedence.
If we are breaking it to that point, then he'll just run again and kill any one who runs against him. Officially of course. That way it can't be a crime. Or he could just retire like sulla did after dealing the mortal blow to the republic. Will it really matter at that point if everything is "fixed"
If they are playing the non-consecutive game...
