My hottest political take is that for presidency, we should get rid of term limits for it. However, we should do 2 year terms. lines up with Senate and House elections
I see your logic behind the latter part, but the reason why a presidential term is 4 years is because it's halfway between the representatives' term of 2 years and the senators' term of 6 years, since only 1/3 of the senate is elected once every two years. It's the same logic behind making the number of electors each state has equal to the number of representatives + the number of senators.

Though if it were up to me, the Electoral College would give each state a number of electors in proportion with the square root of the state's population, since an exponent of 0.5 is halfway between an exponent of 1 (the House) and an exponent of 0 (the Senate).
 
I had a thought today that Trump should buy the air time of TV stations like CNN and MSNBC and thus force them to air footage out of western North Carolina and footage of people in the US harmed by Biden-era policies.
They'd simply refuse. They are so far gone there's no amount of money they'd accept in exchange for broadcasting unedited content provided by this administration on their networks. I don't believe they're obligated to broadcast anything in particular just because you turn up with an offer to pay the going rate for ad space. They would mysteriously find "existing obligations" or some shit. Remember: you don't hate them enough.
 
I love it, the libs get extra triggered
"my manchild politician, reeee"

Remember, these are the people who supported Dementia Joe's second term in light of having severe cancer who would likely die in office. I don't see Trump tripping on any stairs or forgetting where he is. Fuck these people. I have zero sympathy for them anymore.
 
I enjoy how this Big Beautiful Bill is crammed with shit most republicans would hate. Trying to fit the cart inside the horse’s ass. You’ll be labeled a traitor to America if you vote against the provision where Donald allows himself to enter your home and rape you.
Care to elaborate or are you just going to make baseless claims?
