  Won’t that still allow Obama to run? A 2028 term wouldn’t be consecutive with his first two terms

    But he’s already had two consecutive terms.

      Right, and he wouldn’t have a third consecutive term so everything is peachy.

        I guess, bullshit problems need bullshit solutions

        Two consecutive terms + a third detached one is overall still “more than two consecutive terms”

  Yeah… that’s their “solution,” Aaron Sorkin… Definitely not anything else more stupidly nakedly sinister and illegal.

  I mean… clearly, as we have seen now since the 1980s, the elephants definitely care about rules and need to carefully figure out a way around them so the people whose opinions they deeply care about don’t see them as hypocrites.

  I mean, it’s not like even if everything showed they lost they would like… illegally try to perform a coup and storm the US Capitol building to try to violently overturn the results regardless of the outcome’s legality or validity if it didn’t suit their narrative.

  -_-

    Dude, this is already their attempt to change the Constitution to install a despot. You need more cheating than that?
