    Great news to see Republicans thinking about anyone besides Trump running for an illegal 3rd term.

    And who do you think will be vice president for Vance to step down for?

    Trump couldn't be any dumber than a corpse

    I dunno. A corpse can't make the shitty decisions he does.

    His people will just "interpret" what the corpse means, much as they currently "interpret" what he means after one of his verbal diarhhea's. The orange cunt can't speak normal English anyway, and half the country has been sane washing him for years. Nothing would change if he wasn't actually wasting oxygen by breathing.

    He'd still be elected in a way that could be contested, whereas the speaker of the house doesn't have to be a member of congress. So the method we expect is Vance/Some Asshole and then they both resign after swearing in, making Trump president again. Although this looks less and less likely as Republicans splinter.

    Can you explain? I thought the amendment thing said he just can't be elected president. Or does it say he can't be elected vice president too?

    if you are ineligible to be president you cannot be “in line” to be president such as a vp.

    Why wouldn't he be eligible? The wording of your amendment specifically says "shall not be elected" clearly that means that becoming president by other means is fine, otherwise it would have said "may not serve as president" or just may not be president.

    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.

    because one, if elected as vp, and needing to become p is, by some odd logic considered “elected.”

    it’s why voting is important.

    But it doesn't say he can't be elected as vice president, only he can't be elected president. By being elected as VP he's not being elected president.

    You've just said it can't happen, not explained what would actually stop it happening.

    i reckon it’s not as black and white as i portrayed it to be earlier because, it makes sense to me that someone who is not elig to be pres through voting cannot therefore be vp through the same channels of voting.

    there is debate.

    i hold however hope that it will get shut down and become moot anyway.

    The MAGAs are done with Trump, they don't want a 3rd term. He did his job and got MAGA into power, now it's time to toss the Useful Idiot aside, and get down to the job of real oppression.

    The good news is that there are all sorts of right wing whack jobs who feel like America can't survive without them, and nobody else, in charge, so the MAGA primary is going to be an even bigger circus than usual, with all of them trying to out-extreme each other. I would not be surprised at all to see some candidates advocating for work camps for their political enemies.

    The first big fight will be between the Trump kids and the group around Vance that want all that grift. And at some point, the fundies and the tech bros are going to go head-to-head. They've papered over the cracks now because both are OK with environmental destruction and unregulated propaganda, but there are too many deeper contradictions in what they want. And let's not forget the conservative split between Zionists and antisemites: who do they want to exterminate first, Jews or Palestinians?

    Wonder if she is still telling her children the whole thing of Charlie being on a business trip with a man named Jesus in the sky. Apparently "he's to busy to come home"

    There is one reason why Vance is a good candidate: he's younger than 60 years old. We should totally normalize that.

    Now, as for his politics, I'm gonna say that if Democrats would stop fucking up their candidate selection process then Vance shouldn't be a big problem. Also CIA could start doing its fucking job and stop Russian election interference. And perhaps start one in Russia.

    She was dumb enough to marry Charlie, so endorsing JD is quite in line with that.

    Is this the plan to run with Trump as VP and then resign so Trump can take over again?

    There is no way, if he became president, that JD would resign for anyone. He is worshipping Trumo because he likes him, but for the power. If he already had the power, DJT would be sidelined tout suite.

    Trump probably just try some stupid national emergency or alignment with Xi hostile takeover of Taiwan. Says fuck it whose pulling me out of here, dude down to his last set of diapers, got nothing to lose practically. Alternative is a blue wave, democracy encroached, they'll abuse all the same powers now that the boundary has been pushed and we will see the same shit show clown nonsense with Newsom.

    Regardless if they're justified or not or party X is worse, rule by executive order and backlash (absolutely) against political appointments (some deserving, some not). But the next wave of democracy's walls have been broached and libs refuse to give power back to the people instead serving their corporate overlords vs billionaire overlords.

    I see very good, small local initiatives, online and offline, but not the grass roots building into an unstoppable momentum that we actually need to build better societies.

    You say that as if it's unlikely, a lot of these bigger front end conservative orgs are basically held up by a handful of major figures. Also they tend to be shit when it comes to finances see the Daily Wire and all their failed attempts at basically anything that isn't a talk show. TPUSA is replaceable just like the rest, they'll collapse and some other shitstain organization will fill its place sooner or later.

    I wanna rock right now 
    I'm Rob Base and I came to get down
    I'm not internationally known

    Because I get stupid, I mean outrageous
    Stay away from me if you're contagious
    'Cause I'm the winner, no, not a loser
    To be an M.C. is what I choose-a
    Ladies love me, girls adore me
    I mean even the ones who never saw me
    Like the way that I rhyme at a show
    The reason why, man, I don't know
    So let's go, 'cause...
