    I don’t share your concerns and am not going to take the time to hunt down another one.

    Regardless of the banner, the push is real, here’s one article today and another from yesterday.

    https://www.newsweek.com/third-term-project-donald-trump-2028-constitution-2034316

    https://www.rawstory.com/raw-investigates/cpac-2671191186/

    Quote from second article:

    A new advocacy group, the Third Term Project — which has adopted a Caesar-like Trump image as its logo — is dedicated to upending the 22nd Amendment so that Trump can serve a third term.

      When trump has asked about a third term, it has been jokingly. As far as those pushing for it, I don’t think it would pass. If it did though, he would still have to get elected again by the people again. I dunno I just don’t see it happening.

        They’d have to somehow keep Obama from running, so they can’t just say “third term”. It would have to be jerry-rigged to hell to let Trump run but keep Obama out.

        When a fascist “jokes” about taking and keeping more power, they’re not joking. They’re absolutely serious.

        He wouldn’t have to be elected again. He lost the vote last time and still tried to launch an insurrection to overthrow the legitimate government and maintain power. He’s learned a lot since that failed attempt. He’s dismantling the government and the checks and balances by the day. There won’t be anything left to stop him in 4 years. He will not leave willingly.

          lol, he didn’t try to “overthrow” the government at the previous election. He did the same thing Hillary did in the election before that.
