It has to be HIS last election. Only 2 terms allowed.

The Constitution was amended after FDR to allow only 2 terms, after he died in office in his forth term as President.

 

What makes you think it can't be amended again to allow more terms?

I wonder can people actually cry, moan and have meldtowns for 4 years? I guess we shall see.

It's sad that you think Trump is going to be some sort of dictator. It really is pure nonsense and not based in reality.

Trump has pulled off one of the greatest cons in history. He's convinced 70 million voters he will lead them to the Promised Land.

 

Madoff and Ponzi are pikers by comparison.

 The reality is this: for all practical purposes, the voters had two choices.  Harris or Trump.  And the voters had four years to see exactly what the Dems and the Deep State were capable of.  Four years the Dems can't run away from.  Trying to do away with free speech. Limiting the 2nd Amendment.  Weaponizing law enforcement and the judicial system. Destroying the middle class with inflation.  I could go on all day.  Fortunately, the voters still have a choice and they said enough of that nonsense.  

 

So, for many, Trump didn't have to convince anyone of anything.  All he had to do was be anyone except Harris.

I don't know whether Trump will be a dictator or not. He feeds off the energy of political rallies. On his past record, he will be playing golf, and refusing to read a briefing of more than one page. Advisers will be a revolving door. His pattern is lauding his appointments, then describing them as idiots after he fires them.

 

Your post is deflection. I'll ask the question again:

Happy days are here again!

What makes me think it wont be change is WHY would it be changed? No good reason I can think of and I very much doubt it would. You seem to be under the impression that the President has unfettered power but this simply isn't the case.

IIRC the Dems were trying to do away with hate speech. Plenty of that in America, and guess who led the charge?

 

As for the infantile obsession with guns, I don't know of any other nation that has to provide training for its children in how to avoid getting shot when attending school.

I see it as a distinct possibility if the Republicans control both the House and Senate.

 

Every non-MAGA Republican is now terrified of Trump, he has the power of political life or death over them.

 

The Republican party is no longer in Trump's pocket. It is welded to him.

2025 marks the end of technocracy in the US.

Hardly a tragedy for democracy.

Do away with hate speech?  That's just an underhanded way to say they want to do away with free speech.  There are already laws on the books to control certain kinds of speech.

The aim -- to remake the U.S. government in Trump's image.

(Nothing about the U.S. constitution. Everything about cult leader Trump.)

 

To make the reelection of Trump's clan more likely by rigging the game in their favor.

(The clan not necessarily about his family but toadies like Vance as well.)

 

Democracy used to undermine democracy -- Project 2025.

(As happened in Hungary, Russia, etc.)

 

Recommended viewing for all who favor democracy over autocracy.

 

Yes, globally autocracy is winning, and tragically it won it's biggest victory November 5.

 

 

Now we can see how JT became so inspired.

Political life and death? One thing is for sure. The country is about to see some massive disruptions.  Government workers losing their jobs.  Mass deportations.  It probably needs to happen, though.  The status quo was not sustainable.  It's better to make some changes sooner, rather than later.

Boy you do have some problems with comprehension. The house is still in balance. It's not gone either way as of yet. It's on a knives edge. DUH!

Its understood that the chance of democratic control is very remote. Of course I realize it's not done yet. It would be wonderful if the democratics hold on but it's folly to expect that

Trump still needs the cooperation of the GOP in both houses.  Never know when some dissenting members side with the opposition.  Not likely, but has happened before.

A post again referring to something that is not a recognised medical condition but rather an urban phrase and just used as a means to belittle or mock individuals with differing political views, has been removed.

 

@KhunLA you are well aware that it is not permitted under forum rules, so post it again and expect a time out.
