    Unless those rumors are true and they did manage to game enough voting machines to clinch the election. In which case he was not actually elected 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.

        And that’s why Vance and the other fascists are waiting until after the midterms to get rid of trump.

          Vance is such a thoroughly unpleasant asshole. Of course, I thought the same thing about donnie for years.

          But I don’t think “JD” “Vance” has this weird hold on the idiots like donnie does. I guess we’ll see.

          Shrug. Somehow, Ted Cruz manages to get elected and it doesn’t seem that anyone really likes him.

          I suppose if the Democrats run a woman and/or someone non-xtian or non-white, there will be people that find a way to support “JD”, I guess.

      There better be a real fucking riots in the streets across the entire damn nation if they come out with this bullshit.

      Like I mean burning down federal buildings and police stations, storming the homegrown concentration camps to free the prisoners, a literal million+ person march on Washington DC right to the front door of the White House.

          How exactly do you guys think riots would go?

          Do you think Trump would just say, “guess they don’t like me, I’ll leave office”?

          Or do you think he would brutally crack down on everyone against him?

          Riots would be the casus belli he wants to take military control of the country

            Idk man. They did fly the army apache over them last time there was a big protest in Tennessee and then that time they did that weird stuff with firing the missiles in Cali. You’re right, but something has to change, I think we’re supposed to be brave and strong and united instead of shocked daily and then retreating, frightened, back under a rock to safety.

        Like the riots when an insurrectionist was allowed to run for a second term after being ruled ineligible by a State?

          But the Roberts Court, dontchaknow, intervened and went directly against the Constitution and made a BLATANTLY unconstitutional ruling that should have invalidated literally all of their appointments.

          Trump was ineligible for the second term, whether or not the Roberts Court wanted to acknowledge it.

          And hell will freeze over before I give those judges on the Roberts Court the dignity of referring to them with the words that other people call them or that court.

      Its not the general votes that matter. Its the electoral college. So even if they cheated he was still elected twice.

        Sounds like the foundation of our Democracy was built on quick sand, and the cement poured by the shadiest cheapest contractor capitalism could buy.
