    it’s funny to me that people are pretending like he’s not just going to run again. He wants to be a dictator just like his favorite people, pootin and kim jong un. And all his stupid mouth breathing knuckle dragging supporters will just line up with whatever dumb bullshit excuse is fed to them “but presidents are only limited to two consecutive terms!” “but FDR!” “but he’s a war-time president!”

    There is no level of duplicitous stupidity these traitors won’t stoop to.

    It should be illegal to endorse a candidate for president before the midterms. Or to ask someone to. What an absolute non-story.

    How long do you want the election season to be? Two fucking years isn’t enough? Mexico gets it done in 90 days.

      Precisely. I hate to say it, but I agree with Trump here (about it being too early, not about JD being terrific)

      “It’s too early,” Trump responded. “I mean, it’s too early. I think he’s terrific. There’s so many terrific people.”

      Oh man, no, 2026 is already in the bag for Democrats, we got the House and Senate - no need to even vote anymore, just take it easy and enjoy the 2028 race!

      talking about the next election (2028) is the fastest track to acknowleding the lame-ducked-ness of the current occupant. I say speculate away.

        No. We should not be talking about elections 2 YEARS IN ADVANCE! it’s not fucking normal! I do not want every day of every year to be occupied by electoralism.

          In American electoral politics, it is ‘fucking normal’ to be talking about the next presidential election cycle following the midterms, and the midterms are in like 2 weeks. It’s ‘fucking normal’ to start marginalizing the current administration because they can’t run for re-election again and to start focusing on new people, and despite your hysterics, I think we could actually agree that paying less attention to Donald Trump would be a great thing for literally everybody, so calm your fucking tits.

            following the midterms

            One problem. The midterms haven’t even finished. This is preceding the midterms.

            It’s ‘fucking normal’ to start marginalizing the current administration

            That’s fine. But we don’t need to start talking about elections! It leads to thinks like good ol’ Mitch saying we can’t let Congress vote on a SCOTUS position because we’re a year away from an election.

            Your patronizing tone is not welcome. I don’t fucking care what the status quo is, I’m sick and fucking tired of the status quo.

              It’s also normal for them to put christmas decorations out in some stores before thanksgiving and you’ll still get people whining that it’s too soon or whatever. This is all just a weird complaint, because it happens every election cycle, and, we’d ideally like to move on. The zombie corpse of Mitch McConnell can read a calendar and the political reality as much as anyone. They’ll use whatever tricks they have to fuck over as many people as they can as long as they can. But we need to start talking about whatever the post-Trump era will look like, nobody wants to stay mired in this.

                In case you forgot, that wasn’t a hypothetical. It actually occurred during Obama’s admin. Enough people thought “yea that sounds right” to the point that there wasn’t even a procedural change in SCOTUS selection.

                Christmas decorations being up early is one thing. Talking about electoral politics is an entirely different thing, that actually has consequences. People tune out of politics all together because we talk about elections years before they actually happen.

                Both parties absolutely love that we spend all our time with politics discussing elections, because all they do day in and day out is fundraise for their parties. Assuming that they never eat or sleep, politicians in both parties have less than 30 seconds to review bills before they vote on them, because of all the fundraising they do. The constant electoralism means that they never have to change.

                  And then one of those ghouls, Barrett? was sworn in like 2 weeks before an election when it suited their needs.

    I think it’s 50/50 on whether or not he even runs for president. Rubio is probably the biggest Republican contender for that race at the moment.

      I like that this could be about Vance or Trump. Although I think there’s more than a 50% chance Trump will try to run. And maybe a 50% chance Vance will. lol

    He’s posturing by saying “they’re all very good” in order to get the most people to pay him off.
