Checks that Canada doesn’t have and you’re fine with that because it’s about defending the status quo for you.
This is just stupid.
I already explained my position to you. Do you remember what it was? No, of course not because that would require you to read.
I only respond at this point for the exercise in expression. You are clearly not a person worth taking seriously.
The absence of term limits is not a good thing, so no, I do not approve of Canada’s lack thereof. However, I also don’t give a shit about Canada’s lack thereof because I’m not Canadian. The people of Canada can worry about that one.
Do you understand?
Never mind, of course not.
What would be immoral about getting all of those votes if you can get them?
It’s not a question about morality, it’s a question about plausibility, which is non-existent. So if somehow he is to get a third term, it would be through some other non-constitutional means, which is why it’s a very serious when he talks about it. It is not a joke when the person most heavily responsible for protecting our constitution talks about destroying it.
Then why didn’t the cops shoot them like they would have to BLM protestors? If it’s because they’re white…
Another stupid and unserious response. Not even bothering with this one.
You said January 6th was not violent. You wanna back that statement up or try to distract with this kind of nonsense?
If you believe I’m a MAGA cultist, then what’s wrong with that exactly?
It means you are a sad and pathetic excuse for an American who is either incapable or unwilling to apply critical thinking and instead allow your mind to be warped by people who are laughing at how stupid you are.
They won’t, because they have a party to stick too whether they will admit it or not.
Then that's their problem, not mine.
All policy is plausible if there is enough political will.
Except there isn't, and everyone knows that, including Trump
It was about as deadly as you can expect a protest to be. No guns were used. No private property was destroyed. A few people broke in; but it was mostly peaceful.
Right right right. Let's sit here and list all of the things that didn't happen on January 6th, all while pretending 140 police officers didn't sustain serious injuries and the US Capitol wasn't overrun for the first time since the war of 1812. Cause that's honest.
Just another Leftimsult against a religious minority.
Well, we agree that Trumpism is built on the absence of critical thinking, so that's progress.
If you don't want leftimsults come up with something better, or hell just be honest.
If Trump gets a third term. He will be the most experience president and that is what the country needs.
So experience is good now. Wondering why that didn't matter when picking a Secretary of Defense, an FBI director and deputy director, an HHS secretary, a US attorney, etc.
And experience at what exactly? Scrolling back and forth between Fox News and OANN, playing golf, and shit posting on Truth Social?
I would argue the country needs an adult who has integrity, is at least a mildly decent human being, can speak with all of the sophistication of a 5th grader, who at least cares about and takes into account reality when speaking, cares about enriching people other than himself and as a reward to his sycophants, and doesn't overtly use the DOJ as his personal mafia.
But that's just me I guess.
It is your problem because they are the majority of voters.
What are you talking about?
This is about Canada. You're trying to argue that the American left is somehow hypocritical because we aren't up in arms over another country's lack of a check against authoritarianism, as we are over our own country's president trying to bulldoze his way over one. That's absurd.
For now, there isn't that type of political will. That is probably going to increase.
Apple pie and ice cream could not garner the support needed for a constitutional amendment in today's divided political climate. To think that such a thing could happen over presidential term limits just to give Donald Trump another 4 years is straight up delusional. If you believe that, seek professional help.
What were MLK's protests at? I'm not trying to deflect, but to compare.
Irrelevant. You're trying to downplay January 6th as if it were nothing remarkable. That's absurd, your deflections, ahem, your comparisons, notwithstanding.
That's a religion. To be against Trumpian Christianity due to their god having xenophobia is to apply that to all religions who have way more xenophobic leaders.
Do you really think xenophobia is the only reason people oppose Trump?
What would it mean to be honest?
It means stop making arguments that you are not stupid enough to really believe. It also means that if you're going to respond to and criticize my posts, read them first.
Trump being alive prevents the right from passing a lot of policies. Trump can TALK about a border wall; a lot of people get mad. Bush ACTUALLY builds it, virtually nobody from the left gets mad.
Decourm privilige exists.
These are the only words you wrote worthy of response, everything else was just obvious trolling or your brain just doesn't work anymore.
Trump's incompetence is definitely a hindrance on his ability to accomplish any of the goals republicans have been wet dreaming about for decades, but that doesn't mean we pretend that his more incompetent predecessors or his succeeders were or ever will be in as good of a position to accomplish them.
Trump's downfall is ironically also his super power. Somehow, he has managed to convince half the country that there is nothing wrong with electing a fundamentally unserious person into the most serious job on earth.
Moreover, he has also managed to convince an even larger swath of the country that there's nothing wrong with holding him to a lower standard because he's an unserious person. My take is that most Americans just aren't intelligent enough to understand why we have a tendancy to treat unserious people differently and why those reasons do not apply when we're talking about positions of power.
It is only because of his facial unseriousness that the country doesn't revolt when he does and says the batshit crazy things he does on a daily basis. This is why he's able to get away with the insane things he does, people just don't take him seriously even as he's doing crazy shit, or they assume there's some magical payoff coming courtesy of his untranslatable genius.
But his insanity isn't without cost. No one was pissed about a wall. What people were reacting to was Trump's overt bigotry and how he used the wall as a symbol for it. The was nothing like this with Bush. That was the difference.
Well, one of Trump's professors said that Trump was the dumbest student he ever had.
If George Washington didn't think himself good enough for a third term then Trump sure as heck isn't either. 'Nuff said.
He hasnt served his first prison term yet. I think a third prison term is pushing a little bit.
If his dumbest student was Trump who went onto become president twice, what happened to his brighter students?
lol he ain’t getting shit (I have a feeling he knows this and is just ragebaiting the media)
It’s either Vance 2028, or by some miracle, the Libertarian Party manages to shock everyone
oh who am I kidding. Vance 2028
I still don’t know what to type!
It's probably distracting the media from doing what it normally does, which is to undermine the actual candidate the media does not approve of for that upcoming election, I assume.
An honest racist is better than one who tries and hide it.
Not when we're talking about someone in a position of power, and certainly not the most powerful position on earth.
Your SCOTUS (a person in power) was quite candid.
Trump wants option for a 3rd term
In terms of economy, he is great. Everything else? Not so much.
Trump will have the longest government shutdown in Americas history. Hope the economy survives.
thats actually a brilliant move by trump. He tried his best to reduce government spending, but then he realized he can just shut down the government and end spending. Its much faster than getting democrats to agree to cut spending. USA already has low spending to GDP, but this move will reduce it further and give big boost to economy. the only disadvantage is that government cant invest in buying means of production anymore.
His next move is to declare the country bankrupt like he did to his 7 businesses before to avoid paying the debt.
Lol, he actually had to trick the opposition party to shut it down for him. What a madlad.
I disagree (and that’s because Trump is my God). He healed from a bullet that hit him in the ear in 5 hours while being 80 years old and fat.
Trump is God.
I see we've reached the part of the conversation where you just give up. No problem, if my worldview was that vapid I'd give up too.

The federal workforce is something like 2% of total spending, and that includes the military which no one is even talking about cutting back on. The only thing gutting the workforce does is make the money we are spending terribly inefficient (think of the $200k of food purchased for AID distribution that rotted away because no one was there to distribute it) and reduces services Americans rely on.
This isn't going to help the economy, it will only make things worse.
And not for nothing, this is a clear example of Trump cultism at work. Trump has been adamant that the democrats were responsible for shutting the government down, but here you are reframing the shut down as some sort of secret genius plot by him. Whatever you want him to be, that's what he is. Facts, evidence, reality... All be damned.
The federal workforce is something line 2% of total spending
Which is 150 billion dollars per year. But some services shut down too, which saves more money. I am not saying its a perfect way, but it is the only way to force cutting down expenses. Sometimes you have to be extreme. Alternative is to keep spending high and harm economy because bunch of retards in government oppose every attempt to cut on healthcare and social security. Yes, cutting spending means you lose government services. It must be done, or USA will never become decent to live in. Government services are always more expensive and of lower quality than private services, because YOU PAY for government services through taxes and inflation, and you pay for them in taxes more than their price on private market. Its a socialist scam. Population can only become richer if production increases, and that is only possible in private economy. Harming private economy by trying to fix social issues with other people's money is the characteristic of every failed socialist country out there. Economy is about production, and re-distribution only costs money and produces nothing, and also reduces productive powers.
