Trump said “he’s not joking about a third term….there are loopholes and methods”

He's obviously trying to distract the media and change the coverage away from the whole Signalgate debacle. That said, if he were to make it through the 4 years without turning the country into a complete post-apocalyptic hellscape, I fully expect he'll try and find a way to remain in power. He only floats this stuff now to get it out there and make it seem not so out of the question. Sadly it's not. If there's even a teeny tiny little bit of legal wiggleroom of doubt about what the law says, it's probably more than enough sadly for the Supremely bought-off Court jesters --  I mean -- justices, to come up with some crazy interpretation of the law that gives them an excuse to rule in his favor and allow it. Even more so if he ever gets to make another pick for it.

Trump claims that Vance could run for president and make Trump his VP and then Vance would resign, giving Trump the presidency 

Who tells him this shit. I thought no one could be nominated for VP if they didn’t meet the requirements to be President. Example, Sanders couldn’t run for president in 2016 and make AOC veep because she was too young for office. Biden couldn’t stay in the race and tap Obama for VP and then resign. That’s ridiculous. Trump can’t be a VP because he can no longer serve as a President. It’s 2 terms. Fuckin clown. “No president can be elected to more than two terms” technically a VP is not elected, they are chosen, but in a sense they are elected because both are on the ticket when we vote in the GE.  Didn’t the Democrats get around primaries under that theory w Harris.  That she was elected in a primary already by way of Biden?

A convicted felon isn't supposed to hold office, either.

It only matters if people do anything about it.

He said he had a way to steal the election and he couldn't reveal it until he won...🤷🏿‍♂️everyone laughed. Ff to now, we can't figure out how he got all those votes because the numbers don't wash. 

He literally tells you his every move and everyone sits around like "naaaah". At some point, it needs to realized that complacency is never going to stop him. Got to cut his goofy ass off as soon as he dry snitches on himself. Pretty soon, the only way to stop him will be him literally dying and by that point, AI can be president.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse

This shit seriously frightens me. I thought a judge ruled they had to get the heck out of the SSA. Was the order limited somehow? Cuz otherwise, don't see how other than by defying the court's order they could do something this crazy risky. Unless these are just plans for what they want to do after they potentially win the legal battle over they're having access to it.

I’m not saying don’t do anything about it but this is smoke and mirrors bullshit so we forget about Whiskey Gate and the fact that we have yet to help Myanmar after a catastrophic earthquake that has 1700 dead so far.

I'm not suggesting you are. But currently Dems expect GOP to self-moderate and then just wash their hands of what GOP inevitably do. That shit should've been over when they fast-tracked Coney Barrett's SCOTUS nomination, but they keep doing it.

I agree that it's to take attention away from their fuck-ups, but that doesn't mean I believe that Trump saying he'll run for a third term is an empty threat.

The Dems are so infuriating. Schumer and Gillibrand are US Senators from NY and they voted yes on the CR, if that’s not infuriating enough, they then go on to complain that the GOP is doing things like cutting Medicare, Medicaid and gunning for social security, all things they allowed to become vulnerable through the CR. 
 

The threat might not be completely empty with our corrupt SCOTUS but it’s an empty threat rn. We can’t go crazy 60 days into his term over a theoretical 3rd term.  Definitely not when he’s doing bat shit crazy shit for real rn and the GOP won’t stop him and the Dems either can’t or won’t either.

how much do you want to bet he's taking cues from house of cards?

I’m laughing cuz you’re probably so right. He gets a lot of his ideas from what he sees on TV 

Fox should do a piece on people taking long walks off of short piers, and how much us libs are melting down over it. Maybe he’ll take a walk to own us all! 😆

Trump to Announce Country-Based Reciprocal Tariffs Wednesday

now i'm REALLY interested in this. that is...i'm REALLY interested to see what ag and textile will be in this. 

congress approved an additional bailout for cotton growers here. in this area, it's 85$/acre of cotton, with most fields in the hundreds (you can maths), with additional support for failing market......m'kay. 

i'm going to take a wild guess and i would place bets that these "farmers" - and i do use that term loosely - that are field to port only will be hit hardest. i actually hope so.  NOTHING stays in this country. nothing. 

cotton, peanutes, soy. 

next i would say vehicles for obvious reasons. 

and finally, i think beef. again...same "farms" raise cattle that is...you guessed it: farm to port only. NOTHING stays here. 

just adding my 2cents that absoulutly NO ONE but me asked for. lol

Farmers get so much government subsidies. Some might be necessary idk anything about that type of stuff.  I also got to look into tariffs countries place on our goods. Idk if these 100% and 300% or 50% tariffs are even real and if they are real, does the tariff get placed on the goods all the time or does something have to trigger the tariff?  Nothing Trump ever says is ever true or completely true. I hate that he makes me have to look shit up. It’s like the son of a bitch is giving me homework. 🫠😆🫠

the 'farmers' (those that i mention farm to port, not for american consumption) are some of the biggest welfare queens to date. 

they make money when they fail

this is from 2023, 

 

In 2023, the median income from farming for households operating commercial family farms was $167,550, with a median total household income of $253,496, while the median total household income for all farm households was $97,984, exceeding the median for all U.S. households

2. Subsidies:

Federal farm subsidy programs can significantly impact farmer income. 

Examples of programs include:

PLC (Price Loss Coverage) - $33 billion in taxpayer costs projected for FY24-33. 

Highly subsidized federal crop insurance - $101 billion in taxpayer costs projected for FY24-33. 

ARC (Agriculture Risk Coverage) - $19 billion in taxpayer costs projected for FY24-33. 

It's important to note that the vast majority of farmers do not benefit from federal farm subsidy programs, and the subsidies tend to go to the largest and most financially secure farm operations. this would be the industrial farmers - field to port

not your farmers markets and those small farms that you see fail every year. 

3. Tax Breaks:

Farmers can benefit from various tax breaks, including:

State Tax Credits .

Renewable Energy Credits .

Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credits .

Earned Income Tax Credit for Farmers with Low Income .

Conservation Expense Deductions .

Depreciation .

It's crucial to track all expenditures and understand taxable income and deductions. 

4. Insurance Pay Outs:

Farmers often rely on crop insurance to protect against losses due to natural disasters or other unforeseen events.

The amount of insurance payouts can vary greatly depending on the type of crop, the location, and the severity of the event.

It’s amazing how subsidies so often go to those who don’t need it.  I wouldn’t mind so much if they actually sold their stuff inside the country but to just take up resources for the benefit of so few people here isn’t acceptable. Not unless they’re shipping overseas in an act of charity but I doubt that’s happening.

one where the reconstruction of 1864 is alive and well, and one that has moved past those obstacles and focuses on their city, tourism, and it's people.

He went all night? Seriously?! Without going all night, ironically, cuz I heard they don't allow bathroom breaks anymore, so props. Longest filibuster in history was just over 24 hours though, so he's still got a ways to go if he wants to top that. Thurmond who set the record was able to take a bathroom break though, so that's probably not possible to surpass without exhorting to extreme measures anymore. :LithiumSmileyLMAO:

The Trump administration now admits that Mr. Abrego Garcia’s removal was an “administrative error.” Moreover, Justice Department lawyers said in court papers that there was little they could do get him back from El Salvador, and have urged the judge overseeing the case to reject his family’s petition to bring him home, arguing that the White House cannot force the Salvadoran government to release him and that U.S. federal courts have no jurisdiction to order his release.

While Mr. Abrego Garcia’s case is separate from those of the Venezuelans who are challenging the administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act, it raises some similar issues. Lawyers for the Venezuelans have persistently argued that their clients have had no opportunity to challenge accusations that they are gang members, and several have ended up in the same Salvadoran prison without any way of protesting their plight or returning to the United States.

And yet they had no problem springing the Tate brothers and bringing them over here. SMH Absolute BS anyway that they don't have the ability to get El Salvador to release these folks. If they got them to take them, they can obviously get them to release them. All the more reason these people need due process and sending anyone anywhere without it should be strictly prohibited, period.

Prof Heather Cox Richardson discusses how history repeats itself. She touches upon Lincoln’s SoS Henry Seward and how he wanted to usurp presidential powers to be able to start a war with 1 of a few European nations. The unpopularity of Trump’s policies especially his deportation of legal migrants especially sending them to foreign countries with no ability to get them back to the US

I been nagging my other half to go down to GA. We were supposed to go to FL and I wanted to detour to down your way. lol we’re gonna have to drive because neither of us has proper ID to fly anymore and he can’t even drive in FL or rent a car until he does. Our IDs say “not for federal purposes” despite showing birth certificates and SS cards to get said ID 🙄

Schumer is rah rahing Booker on Facebook. I posted “that’s what a leader looks like. Not the cowardly shit you’re doing”  it’s laughable how Schumer, Gillibrand and the other Dems that voted to pass the CR are now crying about the results they could have delayed or prevented
