It certainly goes against the spirit of it, but yea, the amendment says no person shall be elected more than twice.
It’s something entirely different to be elected the highest office in the land and be such a sycophant as to give it away to a madman.
Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage! Rage! Against the dying of the light!
Well this is certainly applying the M&A playbook to geopolitics. Eat the meek when they’re down. It’s just good business.
Reminds me of his “we must take the oil” strategy to Iraq a few years back.
Problem is that countries aren’t businesses, they’re people, and alliances aren’t just built on finance - they’re built on trust, stability and shared cultural values.
And optics matter, even in business, you can get a reputation as a cannibal and people will no longer work for or with you. Relationships are like oxygen for business. If you don’t have them, it’s you next on the chopping block.
I am reminded of Winston Churchill saying that Americans will do the right thing after they have exhausted all other options.
I just didn’t quite realize how far “all other options“ could really go.
Man with 7 bankruptcies promises this time things will be great.
I’m not South Korean. Why was this a bad thing? The court ruled 7-1 due to the methods of impeachment not aligning with the constitution. I think rule of law is important. If you want to impeach, then either follow the law or amend the constitution - or else try to circumvent it and set a precedent to your own eventual peril.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again here. It may be in our best interest to nominate a milquetoast candidate for the presidency in 2028 and for the republicans to win it.
That way when 2030 comes around, the house is packed with progressives, as the party in charge usually fares poorly in the midterms.
Why all of that? Well, because the congress in 2030 gets to draw the election district maps after the 2030 census, and for the next decade, progressives could then be represented accurately.
Now, a solid counter argument is what about the courts? And that’s valid, we likely can’t get both in the short to medium term. The best we could maybe hope for is a blue 2026 in the Senate, which could then accept judges that both the president and the senate agree upon. I think there is a case for some liberalesque populist judges to get through.
Woman who doesn’t use conventional birth control is shocked to discover this one weird trick.
And how many lives do you think he’s destroyed as he takes a chainsaw to their careers?
I’m looking forward to seeing the most fabulous masks that feathers and glitter can buy in Budapest this year.
If we get through this presidency, and that’s a big if, then we’ve got a fascist infestation and their enablers in congress that we’re going to need to take care of.
Comparably, a good listen about McDs past use of beef tallow in French Fries if you have the time.
Well for one, I think Schumer made a mistake here and if I lived in NY I’d be calling him up to tell him just that.
But I can see his logic as to why he went the way he did. He fears a govt shutdown is only going to let the foxes eat more of the henhouse.
I think the public would have forgave the dems and I think a shutdown would have helped raise things to the fever pitch needed to suck all of the oxygen out of the room up there. Time will tell I guess.
If you want to make sure they’re carrying water, then we gotta be the reservoir. You gotta add your drop to the bucket and I gotta add mine. That starts by calling, funding the causes you believe in, and then getting out in the streets and being real loud.
This is precisely the same line of thinking that helped get the fire elected to the White House.
It’s death by a thousand cuts.
Not everyone who doesn’t align with you 100% is your enemy.
Can we please stop eating our own while the goddamn house is on fire? We’re gonna need them for the bucket brigade.
What the hell is their beef with St Kitts?
The 50s were so last month. The 60s couldn’t come any sooner.
Signs of an abuser:
I hope he does and I hope none of the other dems do.
And then I hope there’s a vote of no confidence.
If this MF votes for it, then he shouldn’t be leading the resistance. Simple as that.
Behold the purist, festooned upon his throne of ivory! alone.
