@OccupyDemocrats If Trump ran as the VP to JDVance or Rubio, he's not be "running" for Podus, but then if JD or Rubio were to be elected, and resigned; Trump could succeed and become President, without running for a third term.

BREAKING: SOUNDS OF SILENCE — Senate hearing goes deadly quiet as Trump’s federal judicial nominees REFUSE to admit third term is illegal.
.
Donald Trump is nominating people to lifetime federal judgeships who won't confirm that he can't run for a third term when they come before the Senate for their approval hearings.
Let that sink in.
Senator Chris Coons of Delaware asked what should be the easiest constitutional law question in American history at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week. He asked Trump's judicial nominees about the 22nd Amendment.
The first nominee, John Marck, said that his career had been in criminal prosecution and that he hadn't had occasion to use that particular amendment.
A federal judicial nominee. Unfamiliar with the 22nd Amendment. Seeking a lifetime appointment to interpret the Constitution.
Another candidate eventually offered that it "deals with the two-term limitation." Correct. Gold star.
Coons then asked the simple follow-up: is President Trump eligible to run for president again in 2028?
Marck's response was a masterpiece of evasion: "Without considering all the facts and looking at everything, depending on what the situation is, this to me strikes as more of a hypothetical."
Coons was patient. He walked Marck through it like a kindergarten teacher explaining why you can't eat paste. Has Trump been elected president twice? "President Trump has been certified the President of the United States two times." Is he eligible to run for a third term? "I would have to review the actual wording of it."
A man seeking a lifetime federal judgeship needs to review the actual wording. Of the 22nd Amendment. Which is 61 words long.
Coons then turned to the full panel and asked if anyone — anyone — was willing to simply state that the Constitution of the United States bars Trump from seeking a third term.
A heartbreakingly long silence ensued.
He asked again. Anyone willing to apply the Constitution by its plain language?
More ominous silence.
Nobody. Not one of Trump's judicial nominees would say out loud, under oath, in a Senate hearing, that the 22nd Amendment means what it plainly says.
This isn't ignorance. These are lawyers. They know what the 22nd Amendment says. They know Trump has been talking openly about a third term. And they calculated — correctly, based on what happens to people who cross this president — that telling the constitutional truth was more dangerous than staying silent.
The frightening thing is that these are the people who will be interpreting your rights for the next 30 years.
Please like and share this post if you think federal judges should be willing to say the Constitution means what it says — even when the president doesn't want to hear it.

@jonlovett @kaitlancollins Im not certain Biden's pressers were more factual/honest/candid?
English

I know we're meant to be inured to it - but president savaging @kaitlancollins and saying she doesn't smile and calls her a liar while asking about Epstein's victims and he just goes on to other questions, and then whoever he calls on next ... pretends it didn't happen? Bunch of smiling politicians behind him, including Susan Collins. Never stops being fucking gross.

@Riley_Gaines_ Difference of opinion Riley?! um, err, genitalia (original) isn't an opinion😂

I fully support revoking the medical license of any doctor who says men can get pregnant.
We're not talking about just a difference of opinion. It's the denial of biological reality that has real effects on the healthcare women receive.
Buddy Carter@RepBuddyCarter
I’m calling for Dr. Verma’s Georgia medical license to be revoked. If you can’t answer a basic biological question relevant to patient care - Can men get pregnant? - then you have no business treating patients, especially as an OBGYN. The Georgia Composite Medical Board will be receiving a letter from me later today on this issue.

@grantstern @OccupyDemocrats We kinda did same thing with Panama and Manuel Noriega. Wasn't as much pushback then?! (wasn't as much social media) A significant portion of Americans are ignorant that while Congress solely has power to declare war, Commander in Chief has absolute power to conduct acts of war

Venezuela suffered greatly under the dictatorship of Nicolas Maduro.
Hyper inflation, mass starvation that caused 10% of the population to flee for autumn in a single year, a police state with private gangs working for the government and gross public corruption, stolen elections and so much more wrong with his socialismo regime.
Maduro is an evil person. His socialismo is just theft with a government badge.
But America has a Constitution. America has laws. Antenna has Congress.
Donald Trump ran roughshod over ALL of those to declare war on Venezuelas and capture Maduro.
This is a signal to every dictatorship in the world that might makes right. We will see wars started because of Trump's war.
Congress is filled with spineless Republicans devoid of morals, ethics or spines. But even a few of them should surely see that they have to stand up against a lawless President when they are the only check remaining against his power after the Supreme Court decided that laws don't really matter that much anymore to govern the president, unless they're bills of impeachment followed by convictions in the Senate.
And we all know the Senate Republican caucus lacks ALL conviction, heart or character.
If Trump gets away with this, his next target won't be someone vile like Maduro.
And the next order consequences won't be so remote as they seem to those who think it's no big deal for the president to declare war unilaterally.
We cannot let the man who holds America's nuclear football to his the power to declare war too.
PERIOD.
Sadly, I don't expect many Republicans in Congress to do jack shit.

@nicksortor It does seem odd when there's a serial murder we learn the background, childhood, social media etc of the perp- all exposed. But with Trump assassination attempts- crickets.

🚨 #BREAKING: President Trump has just ORDERED the Secret Service to provide “every bit of information” about his two would-be assassıns
“I’m entitled to know,” Trump told NYP

Two hours ago, Kathy Hochul took a victory lap for making subways “safer.” She congratulates herself on the same day two subway riders were stabbed in Queens (one in the face and one in the chest) and another was barbarically burned alive. Has there ever been a more tone-deaf Governor in the history of New York?
English

@DemocraticWins yes yes He's amazing. So many new Govt jobs, Job growth numbers that get revised down every time. He's the best. i think he should run for a 2nd term in 2028, maybe with a VP picked by race and sex?! He's been so great he'd get re-elected! Biden 42/ 44!😂
