If Trump just pretends to behave then nothing will happen. But he knows consequences are actually possible now which hopefully is enough to affect his behavior. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago But he knows consequences are actually possible now Does he really? Or does he still think that he personally is immune from the consequences of his actions? permalink fedilink source parent [–] potatomuncher@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago (4 children) What are the chances of cooperation? They've been operating like a cult for the most part. Will they disobey their dear leader? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] NotAnOtter@lemmus.org 4 points 6 days ago It really depends on how close to a supermajority the Dems get on their own. It’s expected for Trump to take some radical military action in the next few weeks, that could be the trigger to unify them around either restricting his power or fully removing him from office. I would put the odds of super majority action at “quite low” but during my entire life time the odds have been “hahahahahahahahahahaha I forgot that existed” permalink fedilink source parent [–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 child) Some rats might abandon the sinking ship 😂! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago trump always make sure he uses the rats as a lifeboat. permalink fedilink source parent [–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 point 5 days ago Dear Leader is dying of dementia in front of the world.

If someone takes over the office eith less than half the term remaining it doesn't count toward their own two term limitation. If an impeachement happened today or February it would mean the potential difference of that person in office being four years. One term plus the greater than two years, two terms plus to greater less than two years. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (2 children) Ha ha ha ha, good one.
