I don't think Trump will run for a third term, but I don't think he'll say he's NOT running for a third term as long as possible, hence his noncommittal to endorsing Vance.

I remember a documentary about Teddy Roosevelt saying, despite the fact his first term was actually finishing that of McKinley, he swore he wouldn't run for a third term in 1908 (even though back then the two term limit was still only precedent, not law). Because he announced this, the Democrats filibustered everything of his they could, knowing they just had to wait out the extremely popular Republican President. Roosevelt kept his promise in 1908, but did run again in 1912, unsuccessfully.

I think Trump knows the same fate awaits as soon as he promises he won't run again, so he'll nod at Republicans floating a third term and keep teasing "Maybe I will run again, who knows?" for as long as possibly before endorsing Vance.

Trump is not running for a third term because of the 22nd Amendment.

But are we fully at fault for it coming this far? No, America also had a hand in this.

I will say, Vance said almost exactly that in his xeet on xitter. But people are sick and tired of the shame and blame game, so I wanted to look at some facts instead.


Source: Politico LOL but it's actually a pretty good article

The EU along with every government in Europe is openly corrupt. You've seen Germany outright BAN a party because they were getting too big and were right wing, but all over Europe you have political cartels working together to shut out right wing parties from exercising any kind of power. Corruption would literally keep your right wing vote from even mattering. This has always been with the presumed approval of the US (along with some funny little USAID embezzlement money I bet), because the last thing they want is to have to fight another fucking World War.

In the article, it mentions that this situation is changing, but I think it's not changing quickly enough.


"Hey, you wanna die for this corrupt shithole?"

"No lol"

(found that map on a funny little tiktok page called chinese.geographer, and it seems about right)

The number of people that would die for Islam might be beginning to overtake the number of people that would die for their country, and the non-stop barrage of Vans of Peace, Affordable Cars of Peace, Stabbings of Peace, and Rapes of Peace are showing it.

Meanwhile, right wing sentiment is surging, farmers are cutting up their flags and spraying manure all over government buildings and employees. Europe is boiling over. All it needs is a little NATO threatening to get the lefty boomers and the corrupt politicians to back off.

Reminder that the US has essentially an un-collapsed Soviet-style union in the form of NATO, with 119 military bases in Germany alone. It has both the power (and I would say authority) to act, and the stakes needed in terms of keeping Europe's resources under its control.

If something is not done soon, the US might be stuck trying to occupy another Islamic shithole, only this time the shithole is fucking EUROPE lmao

There was an excellent highlighted post here saying that Team America: World Karen is in no position to do anything while she's such a mess herself. I humbly disagree, I trust the Trump admin to Karen while the iron is hot.

This is so fucking retarded, no way there are thousands, even millions of vampire around.

No self-respecting 400-year-old vampire would accept a measly charity of $1000 a month! Source... uh... don't ask...

If you as a vampire make it to 400 years old and your only passive income is SSI just step into the sunlight.

Post from Elon:
These are the age brackets for people alive and eligible for social security

I'd love to know if there are actual payments made. Not the exact number, just if there are even payments made.

 

[mindlessobserver]

The shrill shrieks that "NO, YOU CANT LOOK AT THE SOCIAL SECURITY DATA!" Makes me think it really needs to be looked at.

Honestly can’t tell if you’re late because I remember something similar happening but with a different department who was also just letting people write blank checks for nothing.

https://doge.gov/savings is quite the hoot.

Imagine being a 400 year old welfare queen vampire. Your great great granddaughters are having to have 5 kids to even come close to the amount you have siphoned from the government teat.

Love how the media’s labeling at “looking through Americans’ personal financial info” as if they’re a-logging the lord of the rings poster Timmy bought in middle school.

To be fair, the vast majority of those bases amount to a shitty warehouse/barracks that has not been used for decades but the USA keeps it around for various beaurocratic reasons and the Germans can't be bothered to say anything because Klaus, Hans and Greta get a guaranteed job with a pension at the end for just waking around the fence and making sure nobody broke in to cook some meth that day.

There are a lot of posts in Germany that the US was going to close during the drawdown that the German government threw an absolute shit-fit about them and demanded they stay open.

They complain about the boot but we don’t even want to put the boot there they beg for it when we try to walk away. It’s like this pic

I know that, but Democrats are scared shitless he will try to repeal it to run again and Republicans are saying he should. It's advantageous for Trump to keep that fear alive

>NOOOO YOU CAN'T EXPOSE THE MILLIONS OF 150 YEAR OLDS CASHING SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS AND CORRUPT UKRANIAN MEDIA BECAUSE MUH CHECKS AND BALANCES AND REGULATIONS AND BILLIONAIRES AND OLIGARCHS OR SOMETHING

t. the entire elon musk thread that calls you a white knight simp for pointing out the obvious

this may well go down in history as the greatest thing muskrat has ever done. fuck all his gay space shit, doge is his legacy now.

 

[Jace on ice]

Elon could be GG Allin levels of asshole and I'd still be thankful that he uncovered corruption and fraud.

I person don't really care that he has kids out of wedlock or whatever.

an office having some newspaper subcriptions doesnt seem that weird

i d like to know how many address and how many copies they get for that price vs the newstand price

reality is Trump is old, and probably won't have another 4 years in life left after this term. More importantly though not having to run for reelection is liberating in its own right. Trumps return to the oval office is a Culmination. There is no sense in trying to cheapen the accomplishment with Zimbabwe tier shenanigans..

Trumps goal now should be cultivating the next generation of MAGA that will carry his will into the future after he is gone. And you see this with his picks. From vice president to the cabinet, they are all for the most part young guns.
