Fuck you both

Looks like there will be plenty of room if you pull out all of those immaculately clean dishes first.

Guys they really really just want to be able to lower their prices but we just. won’t. let. them. Gee gosh, guys. Think of the ISPs and their sweet little hearts. They totally won’t offer discounted low-cap options that then rake in record profits from overage fees from low-income households, guys! They promise!

Her arrival at the correct answer was done through a series of mental lapses, poor judgements and terrible ideas that plopped her exactly where she should be. Like watching an episode of Mr Magoo.

You love to see someone arrive at the correct answer through ignorant spite. Wow.

For every left leaning person that protest voted third party or just decided not to bother for some perceived inadequacy in Kamala, real or imagined, congratulations. You played yourself. For every eligible non-voter, wake the fuck up. Harris was not perfect, definitely had some flaws and wishy washy positions. But you know what she was? Fucking normal. There is no policy for which Trump was superior, and there is no norm, tradition, law, or morality that Trump will not challenge, ignore, or destroy. You people need to fucking do something. Participation is the bare minimum. Grow up.

Update: To all you salty down voters, yes, I mean you. Grow up.

🙌 Bless

Leak it. Leak it. Leak it. Leak it. Leak it. LEAK IT!

I saw Avatar. I know what’s going on here. This is illegal in every state except Mississippi, and only legal there if you marry the horse.

But the GAO doesn’t have an acronym that is also a funny meme. How is Elon meant to give a shit about it if it doesn’t make the 14 year old boys laugh?

Honestly, I would be very surprised if he were disallowed. Not only because, as you said, it is unclear if the 12th amendment eligibility conditions apply to conditions added after the 12th amendment and make no reference to modifying it. But also because the 22nd amendment does not, in fact, specify that someone who has served two terms is ineligible to be President. Rather it is very specifically a condition about being elected to president. If we’re interpreting the constitution strictly literally, the 22nd amendment doesn’t make a new condition for eligibility to be President, only for being elected president. So the 12th amendment would not apply. That may not have been the intent, but if anyone thinks the same Supreme Court that ruled that the President has absolute immunity on the use of his presidential powers isn’t going to let Trump slide right through that loophole… well, you could probably convince them it was raining as you piss on their leg.

The two term limit was set by the 22nd amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The language in it is that no person may be elected to the office of President for more than two terms. It does not specify any criteria about consecutive terms, meaning it doesn’t matter. They simply can’t be elected more than twice to the office President under any conditions. It also specifies that if they served more than two years as President when they weren’t elected to that office (such as when a VP assumes the office after the President dies), they can’t be elected to the office of President more than once. In other words, a 2+ year term of a president after succeeding the previous president whose term ends early, counts as a full term in regard to this 2 term limit.

In other words, this SHOULD be his last term. There are two legal loopholes, however. 1) If he somehow managed to coerce a skip or elimination of the next election, he could assume another term without defying the constitution. There is currently no mechanism to do that, but an act of a partisan Congress upheld by the partisan Supreme Court could make such a thing possible. 2) if he ran as VP for another person, which is constitutionally allowed, he could be elected as VP and then the elected President could resign, die, or be removed from office and Trump would be President again. Also, a new amendment to the constitution could be passed to negate or modify the 22nd amendments’ term limit. Though that would require a lot of Democrats also voting for it.

The 22nd amendment says that they can’t be elected to “The office of President”. No mention in the amendment of the Vice Presidency. And the term limit definitely doesn’t apply to one’s terms as VPs if they later become President. Else George HW Bush and Biden couldn’t gave run for president after their two terms as VP each. No reason to think it applies in reverse, that presidential terms count against VP terms. Obviously, it could be argued that VPs are in the line of succession for President, and are thus ineligible after they served two terms, but it would have to be argued. It’s not explicit. Also I doubt it would work because that would also exclude them from every single other role in the line of succession. That seems overbroad.

I believe it happened right after Trump’s AG news was announced. It also conveniently came right before an ethics report was about to be released on him after the investigations finished

In all fairness, it does specify that no person can be elected to president more than twice, full stop. Unfortunately, it does leave open two loopholes. 1) He, while president, manages to coerce the skipping or elimination of elections and he just gets another term without an election. 2) He runs as VP for another person (no limit there) and assume the presidency when their lacky dies, retires, etc. Or he just uses them as a puppet from the VP spot.

Glad you enjoyed it. There are hard pretzels and tap water if you’d like.

Yes, an American politician should be wary of making the argument that non-ancient roots in an area make their claim on their land default.

Honestly, I have trouble dealing with the irony that American politicians are pro-zionism becuase Jews used to hold the land a long time ago until they were outcast from their homelands aand forced to move far away, displacing Palestinian people that live tthere now in the process… and then think that Native American sovereignty (let alone their claim to their historical lands that were stolen from them) are ridiculous and unfair to contemporary US citizens that live here now.

I’ll miss it

Small tangent. Instead of reading it as bee-labored, I read belabored as bella-bored the first time and I was like, “Bela… bored…? Huh, that’s a new word. Let’s Google that! … Oh, I’m an idiot.”

My thoughts exactly. Make Nazis Afraid Again.
