In a half-hour, prime-time national speech, President Donald Trump claimed that U.S. elections are vulnerable to foreign interference, to massive non-citizen voting, and to fraud. He called upon Congress to pass what he calls the SAVE America Act, though its actual name is the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act.
The man who has already attempted a coup
The man who has proven again and again that he will do just about anything to ensure he doesn’t lose the majority he needs to not get impeached
The man who is a known compulsive cheater
The man who tried to call people to “find more votes” for him
The man who blatantly used jerrymandering to secure enough seats to maintain his majority
The man who knows damn well is in the gutters in the polls and who knows will never win the next election if it is fair.
You are asking if he is preparing a coup?
The outcome of the movie Titanic was less predictable than that.
If the voters sit it out again, whadyagonnadoaboutit? Those idiots own every single day of this term.
Voters need an option other than “bad” and “worse”
“Man” what an overstatement
“Thing”
“Moron”
Isn’t there a 22nd amendment to the constitution, which says a president can be elected for a maximum of two terms?
But why should that amendmend specifically or the constitution at all be respected by a criminal?
The problem is that Trump has demonstrated many times already that he doesn’t let things like the Constitution stop him from doing what he wants
That’s what the second paragraph of my comment was about.
I don’t want to normalize his behaviour by not even telling what he’s about to violate, violates or has violated.
They have already presented the idea that the limit is for “two consecutive terms” so it wouldn’t apply to him; it is bullshit -of course-, but that’s the excuse they will feed their base and the MAGAs will parrot it gladly. So, yes there is an amendment against it, but no, it won’t stop them from pushing a third term (or simply extend his current one by preventing elections altogether).
