Please Stop !

[Dawgman49]

I’m getting tired of this talk about this psychopath running for a third term…he has managed once again to use his reality show skills to manipulate the media and sadly too many democrats to even engage in this nonsense discussion… he will be 81 by that time if he survives 4 more years of gluttony… and .. it is unconstitutional….so get a grip and avoid this issue ..don’t give him more air,…but do laugh at him..it’s what he hates the most. and let’s avoid the distractions and get on with protecting our democracy

1. He'll be pushing up weeds before the year ends.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

15. Wow!

Three minutes! Must be a record.

[sheshe2]

16. Back again.

It doesn't sound like a threat at all, just a comment.

[RainCaster]

19. Well, there is his diet and weight...

So how about TSF saying bad things about the man who owns him? (Putin) He better not stand too close to a window.

[GP6971]

22. Well Shazam!!!! By golly, I think you're right? Oh wait...that can't be. Let

the countdown begin!!

[GP6971]

23. Montana's nickname is Big Shy....does that mean they

have more than one sky??

[sheshe2]

24. Their user name is a song title

Will Fudeman sings this song written by Jack Hardy at a concert at EcoVillage in Ithaca, NY in May 2008. Accompanied on the guitar by John Simon.

Lol...he is wearing a Kucinich TShirt.

[GP6971]

27. Darn!!! Gone so soon!!! And I was just getting started!

[GaYellowDawg]

34. I'm not going to wish for Trump's death.

But I would read his obituary with great delight.

And should he ever catch another virus, I'll be pulling for the virus. Imagine if COVID had done its job in October 2000. No Trump to vote for. No January 6. No central figure for MAGA to coalesce around. Infighting amongst Republicans to inherit MAGA. Biden would probably not have felt the need or urge to run. MAGA voters who don't get their candidate of choice refuse to vote at all. A Democratic candidate with a full election season thrashes DeSantis or Noem or Haley and we pick up both houses of Congress. That virus took so many good people. It just had to take one more that it didn't.

[elleng]

2. Right, another Con'' AMENDMENT would be necessary,

a BIG process.

[Buns_of_Fire]

3. I'm not too worried about the prospect. I don't think he's going to survive *this* term. nt

[Sneederbunk]

4. He's a lame duck and this should be repeated whenever possible.

[H2O Man]

5. I agree.

Recommended.

People need to keep in mind that he attempts to distract the public's attention. He has not made a single meaningful speech or had a "win" yet in his "first one hundred days." He isn't doing well in court cases. He is simply fronting for a group seeking to destroy democracy -- including the economy. And why? Though it will not change anything in their daily lives, they are excited to have a different sequence of digits in their accounts.

Keep your eyes on the prize.

[CentralMass]

6. Fred made it to 93.

[BlueKentuckyGirl]

32. yeah, but

Fred had dementia.

[Meadowoak]

35. He didn't know it.

[LudwigPastorius]

7. Yeah, we all thought the talk of annexing Canada was nonsense too, but...

Canadians are sure as fuck taking it seriously.

Trump running for a third term will probably never happen, but there's nothing wrong with being proactive when it comes to how to respond to unconstitutional power grabs.

[Justice matters.]

25. TSF wants to protect Canada by attacking her.

Straight jacket needed in the westwing presto prompto.

[Silent Type]

8. trump pulls our chains, and loves our outrage. He's not running and knows it. Let it die.

There’s plenty of trump crud that needs to be in headlines.

[Justice matters.]

26. He wants a J6 2.0

So he can enjoy watching it again for longer than 187 minutes next time .

[LearnedHand]

10. I was just wondering today why ANY fool is even engaging with it

And you are 1000 percent right! He IS a reality tv idiot who knows exactly how to dominate the conversation.

[iemanja]

12. Then turn off the news and get off social media

People are not going to refrain from discussing the news because you don’t like the story. I’m sick to death of people trying to police what others post.

[Doodley]

13. How many times have we heard that Trump won't go there, and then he does? Dictatorships happen.

[hamsterjill]

14. + 1000

Bingo!

[Meowmee]

37. Exactly... if you don't want to participate in or read the discussions then don't

but don't tell anyone what that psycho will and will not do... look at what he already did and is doing right now... destroying the country and the economy etc. and our allies and so on.

[Alice B.]

17. Laugh at all of them.

When they work up a full head of outrage, ask them concernedly if they're ok.
Or just laugh and move on.

I think about this every time I see a clip of Pammy Jo and MTG etc etc etc. spewing nonsense.

All of them.

[NoRethugFriends]

18. Yeah, nobody thought there'd be a second term either

[RainCaster]

20. Now that he is trashing the economy, who would bite for him?

Very shortly we will be entering the Trump Recession. That should endear him to all those whose 401k have gone under water.

[WarGamer]

21. Maybe DELUSION is the 5th stage of grieving?

[ImNotGod]

28. I agree, its like stopping to water your plants before evacuating a burning home, it just doesn't matter at this point.

[Karasu]

29. "Unconstitutional" doesn't mean shit to fascists. Almost everything this administration has done is blatantly

unconstitutional, and guess what? They've gotten away with the vast majority of it due to how slow the system is to respond, the loyalty of the GOP, and years of successfully assaulting the fundamentals on which our democracy rests. So no, claiming that this is an impossibility and should be dismissed simply because it's unconstitutional is absurd at this point. If there's one thing the last decade has taught anyone, it should be that.

[JDAcme]

30. If it looks

like a lame duck, and constantly f~~~ks up like a lame duck, and so so desperately doesn’t want to be treated like a lame duck, you got yourself a lame duck. Maybe the spineless republicans will take note and allow triage for our country.

[summer_in_TX]

31. We so easily fall into the trap of repeating what Trump says - thereby making it far more likely.

George Lakoff's study of language and cognition show that only makes the outrageous words stick more deeply.

We need to treat all his outrages with the "Truth Sandwich" tactic. Say what the truth is, name the lie, then repeat the truth.

The 22nd Amendment says "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." So Trump's weird claim that there are ways he could be reelected for a third term is just wishful thinking. Our Constitution protects us against anyone trying to illegally shoehorn himself into more than two terms.

If we don't push back, it becomes an inevitability in many minds. But if we just repeat what he says, it actively reinforces it. A little mocking of it can help our cause, as long as it's wrapped in a truth sandwich.

[usonian]

33. Short reply.

Trump annexes South Africa. Greenland and Canada are a head fake.

He perishes from tainted onions in a Big Mac.

Musk is elected speaker of the house.

Vance perishes in a burning Tesla.

Musk becomes president, being a native-born Ametican in the 51st state.

[Martin Eden]

36. The Felon's intent is dictator for life

He will not "run" again in a free and fair election.
