Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This was way more effort than I wanted it to be...
Yoink! Thanks! Your efforts are appreciated by all memekind.
Feel free! Happy to contribute!
glad you put in the effort instead of using ai tho
That's his next hat.
He used it to line his diaper.
I hear he uses it as toilet paper. Why haven't amer9cans intervened on this kind of crap? If he gets a 3rd term, then all rules are off. Everything is permitted.
An extremely vague and weak document that everyone has just sort of wink wink nod nodded about following earnestly? A document that the two parties have hitherto tactitly agreed not to abuse in the name of precedent and civility? A document that is so flimsy it gets thrown out the window once a demagogue gets elected? One that specifically enshrines the right to enslave people(I know of no other constitution with such a stipulation)?
“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.”
Even a dumbass like me can see one of the many weakness here. Trump can become president without being elected if he, as VP, succeeds someone to assume the position of POTUS.
He has two sons that meet the constitutional requirements. He could also run as VP.
VP is required to be eligible to become president, so he'd have to become VP two years and one day into a later president's term. Assuming that we're letting constitutionality get in his way.
Trump is eligible to become president. The Constitution disqualifies him from being elected president. At least that’s the angle I’ve heard from the far-right.
Edit: I don’t know what the downvotes are about. I absolutely loathe the man. I’m just sharing why they’re selling the merch. This is what they think.
Fucking die already you fish-asshole-mouth piece of shit.
Seriously, there aren't many people I wish would just fucking die, but this cunt is one of them.
So many times
Thank you
Look who's committing treason...
Again...
Treat these people like a tesla. A tesla with less onboard cameras.
So keep my distance and expect them to catch fire? Great.
Civil War II when?
They got any toilet paper?
I'd rather die than stand idle and allow this to happen.
So be sure to get some! It will be fun to wear to his sentencing hearings.
