>> Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country "can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs."
Ogles proposed an amendment on Thursday that says, "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, 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 twice."<<

It's funny that this little ambitious suck up from Tennessee is names Ogles as he ogles the President.

Per Daniel Goldman:
By now, Donal Trump's pattern is predictable:
1. Joke about something unconstitutional and authoritarian
2. normalize the joke
3. allow sycophantic Republicans to adopt the joke as a serious idea until it becomes MAGA orthodoxy


We know this and our enemies and allies know Trump's playbook by now, and know how to use it to their advantage.

But yeah, Trump wants to be an authoritarian king.
and the cult is letting him

Yeah, it is unnecessary. Trump will become a dictator (or king) with a life time term.

From the same Hill article:
>>Trump floated the prospect of running for a third term in a joke to House GOP lawmakers during a meeting in Washington before the conference had internal leadership elections.
"I suspect I won't be running again, unless you do something," Trump said a week after winning the 2024 presidential election, The Hill reported. "Unless you say, 'He's so good, we have to just figure it out.'"<<

Look at all these little ramoras trying to suck up to their shark and "do something" because he's "so good, we just have to figure it out." And by figure it out, he means repealing the 22 Amendment. Someone should explain to him that process and why it has evolved this way but it won't be a MAGAt. The MAGAts will ask for forgiveness, not permission. They will put him on the ballot, rush it through to the cery sympathetic Supreme Court, who claw a genius exception from the Grover Cleveland years and find that two terms was only supposed to apply to two consecutive terms. They will dazzle the legal world with all of the imagination and anemic authority from the 2029 project and all of the disbarred lawyers pounding the result on Fox every day all day.

The only thing saving us that trump eats like broke college kid and is way past his prime. He's overweight and his diet will probably deprive our country of him.

Wouldn't count too heavily on that. The guy is a machine.

But he has lost a lot of weight, to his credit.
His neck vagina is not camel toe-ing as prominently as it has.
He says he did it he hard way...yeah, right.

He is taking something like wegovy or ozempic.
He lies about everything, even something as basic as losing weight that he obviously needs to lose.
He is probably down to 180 now....

In truth, the old fool will be lucky to last till the end of this term. Hell, I doubt his mental capacity will last two.

I made a comment elsewhere that is not well received: "Trump will be cold, stiff and stinking for some years before ANY amendment for anything could be passed"
