Summary

Rep. Daniel Goldman plans to introduce a resolution clarifying that the Constitution’s two-term limit for presidents applies even if terms are non-consecutive, aiming to close any perceived loophole after Donald Trump joked about seeking a third term.

While unlikely to advance under Republican Speaker Mike Johnson, Goldman’s resolution underscores Democrats’ concerns over Trump’s repeated comments about serving beyond two terms, which some view as “anti-democratic and authoritarian.”

Goldman urges bipartisan support to uphold the 22nd Amendment, amid fears that some Republicans might not view Trump’s statements as mere jokes.

      No, none of this is based on logic. It’s just words, like LLM words; it means nothing.

      Have you seen Frieren? Demons only talk to confuse. They have no moral values. They appeal to ours only to not be killed, but it’s a ruse every time.

      The same is true for fascists. None of this makes sense. It only serves to confuse, delay, obstruct, until they get what they want. They string together words so that our brains go brrr, but they’re infants babbling sounds. Stop talking to them as equals, they don’t see you as one. They see us as prey, as slaves, as livestock. And most don’t realize they’re livestock, too.

      I get you were being sarcastic. I’m just mad.
