I just heard the Con say he has seven remaining years

[malaise]

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah what a fucking dotard - the President of the United States is elected for four years and may serve a maximum of two terms.

LOCK HIM UP!

[unblock]

1. Not the first time he's just assumed he'll serve two full terms

And by "serve" in his case I mean grift.

[Motley13]

2. to live or in prison?

[malaise]

4. You win the thread

That decrepit body isn't lasting seven more years. Prison sounds good.

[HipChick]

3. Is he speaking on the Teevee

Need advance warning so I can change it...typically, I am on a 15-20min delay, as I watch everything on DVR these days

[malaise]

8. Yes he was -

he was on his way to an RNC fundraising

[QED]

5. I don't think he'll live that long.

He doesn't look healthy.

[malaise]

12. Damn we both posted that at the same time

[bdamomma]

31. Let him keep

on eating that junk food diet it will catch up with him.......have some more fried foods, well done steaks and 2 scoops.

[Doreen]

6. I hate to say this but if he does get re elected in 2020

we will never pull out of this and that will officially make Obama our last president. Trump is a dictator or what the fuck ever you want to call him. A president LEADS and does not RULE. Trump wants to rule and with a bloody iron fist. He will make Kim and Putin look like child's play. I am trying to figure out if he will be worse than Hitler.

[HipChick]

7. He will do away with Term Limits..

[Doreen]

11. He will do away with anything that has to do

with voting. It will be him and his family for a long long time.

[lordsummerisle]

13. There's no way he can do that without Congress n/t

[GoCubsGo]

18. It will take more than Congress.

IF he can get 2/3 of both houses of Congress to go along with him (BIG "IF&quot , he will also have to get 3/4 of the states to agree with it, as well. Amending the Constitution takes years. A heart attack or a stroke will get him long before that happens, if syphilis doesn't finish devouring his brain first.

[lordsummerisle]

37. He could also try to bring a case to the SCOTUS

that the 22nd amendment is unconstitutional...

[GoCubsGo]

38. He could, but there is no point to that.

The 22nd Amendment is part of the Constitution. Therefore, it cannot be deemed unconstitutional. The SCOTUS can interpret the amendment, but they cannot nullify it.

[lordsummerisle]

39. OK true

But he could also just declare himself President In Perpetuity and with all three branches of government just nodding their heads, what would stop him from doing that...?

[jetwash]

16. Might be worth it to see Obama run again and crush him

That would be deliciously ironic given how obsessed he has been with undoing everything Obama did.

[shanny]

34. um, obama can't...'cause "term limits"

[shanny]

33. for president? no. that would require a constitutional amendment

[spanone]

9. i heard that too...he's so full of shit

[malaise]

14. He's pure scum - he thinks he's above the constitution

[bdamomma]

32. He's not above shit!!!

he's a poor excuse for a human being, he must be removed.

malaise I am forgetting my manners. Austin is still on Jeopardy!

[sheshe2]

10. Sad.

RIP.

....Or roast in hell.

[bluestarone]

22. i vote to

turn up the heat another 1000 degrees to prepare for the asshole

[Hamlette]

15. it could happen. Did with Reagan and W.

and we never thought he would win 2016.

I'm afraid he will be there 8 years especially if we treat the threat lightly.

[Ilsa]

17. I doubt putin will let him stay another term.

He has not been a great investment, I suspect.

[GoCubsGo]

19. Those extra boats of gravy, and all that chocolate cake will take him out before that happens.

It wouldn't surprise me if Melania is slipping extra butter into his mashed potatoes, too.

[malaise]

21. Getting up off the floor

for the butter

[MFM008]

20. he wont be around that long

...........................

[n2doc]

23. He won't make it to 2020

Economy is going to go to hell, is starting already. He won't be able to deal with everyone hating him. And the R's on congress will impeach him to get to Pence so they have some chance in 20. I expect a full on mental breakdown.

[Initech]

25. Or a massive coronary given his toxic media and food diets.

Garbage in, garbage out is no way to live.

[Grammy23]

24. In his dreams

and our nightmares. 😳

[Turbineguy]

26. We can all dream.

Well, for him it's a dream.

For everybody else it's a nightmare.

[guillaumeb]

27. 1 year in human terms is the equivalent of 7 years for a dog.

So, by October 7, 2018 Trump should be gone.

[UTUSN]

29. *and* you win!1

[no_hypocrisy]

28. He won't be running against Hillary Clinton in 2018.

There won't be the same chinks in the democratic armor this time.

[Skittles]

30. maybe his comrades have told him he will be re-elected

[shanny]

35. I don't think he will last even that long

but it would be fun to watch the implosion, wouldn't it?

[Skittles]

36. maybe they have told him he has no choice

[VOX]

40. He was an asshole who wasn't even supposed to be the GOP nominee.

But he was. Then, he was a mega-asshole who was going to be buried in the general election. But with the Electoral College b.s. and a “Russian bounce,” he landed in the White House. The fact that all current hope has been whittled down to “Please Mueller, find some major dirt, and hurry!” is pretty sad for a so-called “democracy.”

I’m loathe to even say what he’s not going to attain next, because 1) The fucking obscene amount of money that drives politics, especially the GOP sugar daddies; 2) The GOP brought us this goddamned mess, and one year in (with countless tRump lies, insanity, nepotism, gaffes, blunders, embarrassments, misdeeds, and personal profiteering under the belt), they are, for the most part, stony SILENT about this crisis (“He’s learning”), so they’re not about to do anything, especially when lifetime judgeships are being filled daily with far-right-wing ideologues; 3) The Electoral College has pretty much shifted weight away from large urban areas, and twice now, Democrats have been screwed; 4) The American electorate is getting dumber by the year— high-school dropouts, no college, too many electronic diversions (decades of GOP cuts to education are starting to pay off for them).

If ever there was a time Democrats need to stick together, this is it. No Hillary vs. Bernie sideshows, no Russian clickbait, no Jill Fucking Steins. Whoever the nominee is, they need to be backed to the hilt, because this is it. Whether they run against tRump, or Pence, or some other Christianist-no-women-allowed-but-bring-your-weapons nutcase, that shit needs to be stopped cold. This is the last ditch, the last stand. If Republicans win in 2020, the United States, as it was envisioned, is finished. (I wish that was hyperbole. It is not.)
