Well, he is correct. He is allowed to run. He just can't get elected.

    He also has the right to get shot in the head by one of his SS, but we all know that's not happening.

    And a surprisingly (depressingly) large number of law and order preaching conservatives are supportive of him doing it, despite him not being allowed to do that literally being written into the highest legal document in the country.

    They just say things in pursuit of their goals. Maybe sometimes they don't even realize because they're riding the emotional high of siding with their in-group, but some do. Some know they're lying scumbags.

    But might makes right. What're you going to do to stop them? Nothing. None of us do anything. So the scumbags keep winning.

    Pieces of paper are just pieces of paper if it's not enforced.

    And lucky us, laws are only enforced against us, not for us. In reality, for the average person, the law kind of doesn't matter anymore. It's been hijacked as a useful tool for neo-fascist oligarchs.

    Who could have predicted back in 2016 that giving this man power would turn him into a despot?

    Believe it or not, there was actually a small coalition of just a few hundred million people screaming this from their rooftops around the world. If only the maga crowd could've heard their message sooner.. Surely, well presented fact-based arguments would've changed their minds

    Their spin for it work for Trump and not Obama is that they claim the intent was no more than two "consecutive terms" but consecutive or anything of the like does not even appear. It says once you're elected to two terms you're ineligible for any more, and can even block you from running as the vice president so he can't pull a "run as VD Vance's VP and have him resign" bullshit.

    Ask trump who won in 2020. When he says he did, tell him thats two consecutive terms.

    How much of this is him legitimately meaning it? And how much is it to shore up the willingness of cronies to break the law.

    Like, if he’s not going to be there in 3 years to pardon and protect them from prosecution, then them breaking the law for him is very personally risky. He might be more concerned about the short term willingness of his underlings to keep sticking their necks out.

    Someone really needs to inform him that he has the right to remain silent.

    Impossible it was just a joke last year. You think he would do that setup a horrific violation of Western freedoms as a joke so no one takes it seriously then just full send it?

    No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice

    Those are the exact words of the 22nd amendment. It's explicit. There's no ambiguity or room for other interpretations. Trump was elected twice, he's hit his limit, that's it.

    Sure, but we didn't enforce the 14th amendment section 3, which clearly states that he shouldn't be president currently.

    No one enforced our laws, so we have NO LAWS.

    Which means, he can just run for president again and if no one enforced the law then it could happen again.

    I agree with you on the law, but NO ONE IS ENFORCING ANY LAWS LATELY!!!! So what the fuck does any of it even matter anymore? Hmm?
