A third Trump term would be a mistake, Trump doesn't have the mandate to seize power like that. Not enough people support him. I don't want Zion don for a third term.

also I saw reddit hate I love reddit hate. Get this reddit lost users during the 2024 election when every other social media site was blowing up with traffic.
If you look at actuality tables trump is at the age where a perfectly healthy man goes to sleep and doesn't wake up the next day.

Honestly, there's near zero chance of a 3rd term purely off of age/health reasons even if it were legal.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been circulating a list to congressional Republicans with the names of top military generals and officers he is interested in firing, Fox News has learned. Among the names on the list are U.S. Navy Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the current Chief of Naval Operations and the second woman to be promoted to a four-star Admiral in the Navy’s history, a senior official said. "She is one of the folks on the list," the official said. So far, the list contains a "handful of names," but it may not be the final version. It has been conveyed to Republican members of Congress, not Democrats. Several top Republicans on the Armed Services Committee said they heard about the list, but had not seen it themselves.
 
He's actually not wrong at all. The ISS was supposed to last until 2015 and its mission was extended to 2030. NASA has basically kept it going until it gets a replacement. The plan has been to crash it into the ocean.
>cartels designated terrorists
>ISS needs deorbiting
Are you all thinking what I'm thinking? :smug:
 
Some top shelf cringe from Reddit about the walls closing in on Leon Skum!

ELON MUSK IS SCARED SHITLESS
It is not hard to see why. The house of cards he’s built, the curated public image, his grip on Shitter, his status as a tech genius-turned-political influencer is crumbling in real time. If there’s one thing billionaires fear, it’s losing control of the narrative.

First of all… NO ONE will ignore that he prematurely fired federal workers overseeing nuclear security, it is laughably incompetent. He fired the people keeping the literal nukes safe and had to scramble to rehire them. It will take time for that to even sink into peoples’ brains.

Even people who once saw him as a genius are starting questioning if he's just a rich guy who got lucky a few times. They are wondering this now because that truth is becoming very apparent, and I’m watching these realizations in real time over many social platforms more and more daily.

He is terrified people are catching on. He thrives…and depends…on illusion. That’s been the case during his entire life. He didn’t found any businesses in his own or have a single “genius” idea of his own. This full blown narcissist just wants people to think he did.

He needs his followers to believe that he’s the smartest man in the room and that everything he does is four-dimensional chess instead of just another dumb billionaire fumbling through governance they have no knowledge of whatsoever. People are starting to realize he’s full of shit and he’s freaking out.

The 50501 protests are proof. People aren’t buying his narrative anymore. They’re showing up and calling out his authoritarian bullshit in real-time. This is Musk’s worst nightmare.

So what does a scared billionaire do when people start challenging his control? He lies. Just like our Assistant President. Expect him to claim protesters are violent, expect fake threats, expect bots, expect propaganda to make peaceful demonstrations seem like dangerous uprisings.

If people see protests as legitimate and powerful, they spread. Musk, like any insecure authoritarian, knows that widespread resistance would destroy his credibility and influence.

Redditors in 50501, this is your moment and Musk wants you to feel discouraged. He wants you to think protests don’t matter. That’s how billionaires stay in power, is by making you believe you’re powerless. But the fact that he's resorting to this level of bullshit false flag planting means he is scared.

So keep going. Keep showing up. Keep documenting everything, keep calling out his lies, and keep spreading the truth.

TLDR; Elon is scared shitless and unraveling. Keep going.

How did this 3rd Trump term even start? Is it just something the MSM pulled out of their ass to fear monger?

Also a 3rd term would damage MAGA. He needs the movement to be able to survive without him and the best chance for that is to pass the touch and monitor things from the sidelines.

I doubt Trump would run for one even if he did have more support. However, it's the sort of thing that if you say it will absolutely piss off Democrats and make them complain incessantly. It's a good tactic to keep your enemies talking about something pointless as opposed to letting them move on to something more productive. The more they get caught up in complaining about Trump being a dictator, the more ridiculous they look when he doesn't run again and there are endless compilations of them carrying on like fools.
