When asked directly about the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits any U.S. citizen from serving more than two terms as president, [Steve] Bannon pointed to how there are “many different alternatives” for Trump to stay in office, but did not provide specifics.

    I don’t know if this happens, or if it doesn’t. There should be zero tolerance for even joking about this. The only thing that I will assert is this: If this happens, and some combination of: another branch of government, state governments, the public, law enforcement, the military, and the media, don’t immediately halt everything and throw his as in out, then the United States is over. I don’t mean ‘over’as a descriptor for decline. I mean it’s just immediately done. There is no nation, there are no laws and we have no constitution. The entire project ceases to exist immediately.

    To the watchful observer it is very clear that there is a plan. Deploying troops to urban areas, buying a voting machine manufacturer, installing Project2025-vetted admin workers everywhere, … the list goes on. It does not take a genius to see the intent.

    I mean, it’s not hard. Vance (or whoever) runs as President, Trump in the VP slot, then if they win, whoever it is resigns. That’s literally all it takes.

      You have to be eligible for president to be vice president, for obvious reasons. Sane states won’t allow him on the ballot.

      Question is, are there enough insane states to let him win?

          It might be good to start compiling lists of states and where they stand and making plans to force those that can be influenced to make the right decisions. I hope the dems are thinking about this but I don’t have much faith.

    I don’t think he will be cogent enough to not be shitting himself by 2028. Bannon et. al, keep acting like Trump is a fit, lean, 57 years old and not the fat, addled 79 year old following his own father into the sunset of dementia.

    There it is folks, 2028: the year America turned to a balls-deep anarchy and broke ties with any semblance of organized government.

    The moment this shit is made official, there be nothing to lose.

    I mean, yeah. And he wasn’t president in 2024. That’s how election cycles work.

    (Just pointing out the stupidity, obv the whole thing is batshit)
