I DON'T GET IT.....

Last edited Sun Nov 15, 2020, 09:10 AM - Edit history (1)

This President has KILLED OVER 200,000 PEOPLE and is expected to have over 400,000 by February.. HOW THE FUCK CAN HE RUN AGAIN??

Seriously. the Southern District of New York best put Trump in Prison for quite a long time, the last thing we need is a
second term in 2024. There IS no fucking way, He can be President again, especially if he has a charge of Tax Fraud.

Constitution of the United States, Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

If he could continue to make $$$$$$ just by saying he'll run again he will do it, it's the only reason he ran in the first place...his "brand", ego and $$$. Deja vu.

Whether he actually will remains to be seen, but I think he'll say he's going to.

You know, Sarah Palin strung along the Republican base for several years after McCain's loss in 2008, hinting and suggesting she was going to run for president in 2012. The money rolled in as they bought her lame ghostwritten books, watched her crappy TV shows and appearances on Faux News, and donated to her scam of a PAC. They are nothing if not gullible - and Trump is vastly more experienced in the art of the grift than Palin was or ever will be.

however, that might be a good thing. He is already crazy enough, Dog help us if it is reinforced that he may not be around to run for president. At least he can follow his fantasy for a few days after he has to vacate the WH.

My now ex-husband, who voted for OrangeLoser after being a lifelong Democrat, used to want to discuss the issues. I told him we'd first have to agree on what the facts are. He just couldn't do it. I'd show him fact-checking sites that disputed what he'd been fed on FauxNews. He couldn't accept it. He was lost to the cult.

He was always glued to Fox those last couple of years we were together. I told him I was going to downsize cable because it was just getting to be too expensive, and I also didn't think it was good for our marriage for either of us to be watching so much divisive political television. That meant I'd be giving up CNN and MSNBC, and he'd be giving up FauxNews. I guess he didn't think I was serious. So I did it. I came home from somewhere to find him absolutely seething in his chair. I asked him what was wrong, and he finally admitted it was that he couldn't watch his channel. According to him. ALL of the other channels were telling lies. Scary.

So now he lives in his own house and can watch whatever garbage he wants.

That hasn't really been an issue...until Trump.

The Constitution only places 2 requirements on Presidential candidates: be 35 years old and be a natural born citizen of the US (i.e. born in the US).

There aren’t any restrictions on who can run as long as they meet the basic requirements. In spite of how horrific he is, he can run and he’d get tens of millions of votes again.

This is a severely fucked up country.

Campaigning is a way of raising funds for him, plus it feeds his ego. I don't think enough fools will fund him again. The megadonors won't, and his MAGAts don't have enough money to sustain him.

On what basis does he think he deserves to win after all these deaths and infections?
Only a shameless man and his racist enablers would have allowed him to run for reelection after deliberately dismissing the pandemic as a hoax.

He will never win another election. He is fucking history.
