    If the SC allows for a 3rd term as an option, it’ll be Trump v Obama 2028.

      To quote (Barack) Obama when he was asked in '14 or '15 about hypothetically running for reelection again if it somehow became legal, “Michelle would kill [him]”

      She’s done with the whole political pageantry bullshit, if her absences from hollow political theatre events like the Trump inauguration are any indication.

      Good for her, I say.

      Unfortunately, the legislative policy that’s being floated in the House is that a president can seek a third term only if their first two terms were non-consecutive. (Source)

        It’s not a policy, it’s a proposed constitutional amendment.

        Well, even more, it’s just performative ass-licking.

          You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct!

          I should have been more precise.

        Ah yes. The “I’m too scared to run against Obama” clause

          He knows Obama has bigger crowd sizes.

          We also said overturning Roe V Wade had no chance of passing. We also said “the president is immune to all crimes” had no chance of passing. We also said many other things they’ve passed had no chance.

          I’m not holding my breath.

            Roe vs Wade was never codified in law let alone the constitution.

            None of these things happened in congress. If there’s one thing we can still depend on it’s congressional inaction.

          Absolutely! Thankfully. Just tipping their hand with regards to the ridiculous bullshit they’ll try use to prevent a Trump vs Obama situation.
