President Donald Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call that he was “not joking” about a third term, adding that “it is far too early to think about it.”

    I hope this could lead to US Balkanization. If Donny can get a third term without amending the constitution, states can leave the union without a vote.

    It’d be pure fucking chaos. popcorn-time

      I always assumed that nuclear Armageddon would occur between US and another major power. But I suppose a nuclear war between former US states is a distinct possibility too.

        Maybe. But only one state (that we know of) manufactures nukes for the US govt: [CW: Natopedia] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantex

    My bet, they roll back Presidential term limits, Obama returns and vanquishes Trump, then Obama implements or reimplements many fascist programs with vaguely social dem-y sounding language to prepare for an ultimately futile war with China.

          The nature of politics is that it’s very hard to get hard things done.

      Obama got his bag and the longer he stays off the radar, the better he looks. No way he wades into another campaign.

        Idk, I look at US politics like kayfabe. When interest is waning (consent machine is failing, citizens are thinking organizing instead of voting, etc.) what better way to regain interest than by having the surprise comeback of a beloved character. Esp to sell the narrative that “that evil Trump has been defeated, all is right in the world and we can all breath a sigh of relief back at brunch”

    There aren’t gonna be presidential elections in 2028, I’m calling it now.

    He will say that the elections are too expensive and that he will save 100 billion dollars of taxpayer money by not having elections. Instead of the elections, he will make a poll on Truth Social where 100% of users will choose him over Gruesome Newsome. NYT will run a headline about how great and cost-effective this is. Libs will post epic clapbacks on twitter.

    However, the USA is a Travis Bickle factory so there is still hope that we will see a very funny headline by that time

      I think the chance of the dems taking the House next year is zero. If I’m right - in red states the GOP will use any and all methods skew the results of federal elections including openly breaking the law. Why wouldn’t they? They aren’t going to be charged in state court and they certainly aren’t going to be charged in federal court by Trump’s DOJ. And - of course - Trump’s FBI won’t investigate any GOP criminality of any kind.

    the ascendancy of RFK and devotion to plague demons makes sense now, because certainly it will require profaned magic from the chaotic blindness beyond creation to suspend trump’s mortality and extend his time on this plane of existence.

    very cool stuff. hoping for a natural 1 / critical failure role during the summoning ritual.
