Constitutional amendment to allow Trump third term introduced in the House
President Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of somehow serving a third term in office.
You're viewing a single thread.
Seems more like someone sucking up to Trump rather than something they realistically believe they could get passed
That's a really dangerous way of thinking. We can no longer normalize this stuff by going "it'll never actually happen." It CAN happen. Get your head out of the sand and stop minimizing the very real threat our democracy is facing.
What democracy? We've been living in a police state our entire lives. Talk about a dangerous way of thinking, ffs, how many hundreds of thousands of people were murdered under the Bush administration alone, and you act like that was just healthy democracy? Why were Bush and Obama on the same page about the erosion of our civil liberties and global imperialism? I swear, some of you are just miles from the correct explanation.
This one won't happen though. It doesn't have the votes. It would require a Constitutional amendment, and thus a LOT of Democrats on board.
You can't freak out about every possible thing.
When every possible thing is this fucking freaky, we can indeed freak out about them.
And we were all overreacting about Roe v Wade. "Precedent", "established law", "checks and balances". It could never happen, they said.
I really would like to see some of those checks and balances I've heard so much about. Must have gotten confused—it's cheques for the rich, on our dime, to make their balance keeps going up.
Yeah there is less than zero percent chance this happens.
Reminder that they control all branches of government and can do whatever the hell they want.
Even though I partially agree that it’s probably somebody sucking up instead of them passing a “remove all term limits” bill instead.
Or maybe they’re just testing the waters and compliance of the people currently elected, heck if I know.
