Trump's 3rd Term | Drudge Retort

Tuesday, October 28, 2025

Let's talk about how Trump enjoys the idea of running for a third term, and the fact that this idea is also being promoted by people and groups on the right.

"For example, the American Conservative, which was one of the groups behind Project 2025, had an article on its website last year about how the 22nd Amendment is an arbitrary restraint on presidents who serve non-consecutive terms.

That of course is the key because the 22nd amendment being revised with language relating to
non-consecutive terms would allow Trump to run for a third term, but not someone like Obama."

An amendment to the constitution to allow Pedo 47 to waddle for a third term will never pass.

No, it wouldn't get 2/3rds vote...

But the Lard King's Court Supreme could find a way.

Moses Mike was in full denial today that it would ever happen, so that makes me think it might.

It's foolish. The discussion of it knowing full well the Constitutional Amendment exists.

If Trump actually runs despite the folly, then President Obama would be the easy opponent to choose. Trump would lose.

Again, it's a fool's discussion.

It's almost as foolish a discussion as would be whether a President might ever tell States to change the name on their Official Ballots to his, and then an violent mob of thugs to stop the peaceful transfer of power in this country.

Even though his entire hand-picked DoJ threatened to quit.

It is.

But you are glossing over the key point.

Foolish and stupid is precisely how "The Banality Of Evil" operates.

A couple of Amendments actually, the 22nd and the 12th. The vid (w/ Transcript btw) addresses some of the scenarios, including him making himself Speaker of the House or VP for 2028.

I figure a National Emergency is more his style... perhaps that's why he has ICE trying to start an internal war.

And again, HIS SCOTUS are his toadies if it ever goes to the SC.

"Hannah Arendt's lessons for our times: the banality of evil, totalitarianism and statelessness

"There are no dangerous thoughts," Hannah Arendt says, "Thinking itself is dangerous".

"The ideal subject of totalitarian rule," she also says, "is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced communist, but the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction no longer holds".

I wouldn't put anything past Trump but remember you all believed GWB would do this.

W. was happy to be done being Cheney's errand boy.

"you all believed GWB would do this."

Not all of us.

That said, Mother Nature will probably make her opinion known within the next three years.

As one of the protest signs said, I've never been so disappointed in cholesterol.

Still thinking we're in normal times, huh?

#13 | Posted by jpw at 2025-10-28 06:03 PM

- you all believed GWB would do this.

Gross exaggeration. Do something different this time, EB, as a favor to us, but mostly to yourself.

Read the short article in #9. (I won't even suggest you watch or read the freaking link!)

It's about someone you never even heard of.

#14 | Posted by Corky at 2025-10-28 06:06 PM

you all believed GWB would do this.

Who did?

Admittedly I wasn't here prior to 2008, but I don't remember anyone worrying BushJr was seeking a third term.

#15 | Posted by ClownShack at 2025-10-28 06:08 PM

-"the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction no longer holds"

Is the best definition of Trumpism I've seen.

#16 | Posted by Corky at 2025-10-28 06:13 PM

-Gross exaggeration.

Not regarding what you believed.

Or maybe none of you really believed it.

But you said you did.

Like now ... ...

#17 | Posted by eberly at 2025-10-28 08:21 PM

"Who did?

Admittedly I wasn't here prior to 2008, but I don't remember anyone worrying BushJr was seeking a third term."

They weren't worried.

But they said they were.

It was fun to watch.

#18 | Posted by eberly at 2025-10-28 08:23 PM

- But you said you did.

I never said any such thing; it was obvious to everyone that NO ONE WANTED HIM for any 3rd term.
That was never a thing.

But hey, make it about the posters not the posts, that's your MO always.

What did you think about the Topic itself in the vid you didn't watch or the Transcript at the thread link you didn't use?

#19 | Posted by Corky at 2025-10-28 08:29 PM

-But hey, make it about the posters not the posts,

I made it about what really happened.

You made it about ... ... ... .you. I didn't direct it towards you.

But you can't help yourself. Especially when you're wrong or lying.

That's your MO.

#20 | Posted by eberly at 2025-10-28 09:42 PM

Wouldn't leave office
Would declare martial law
Would declare National security was at stake
Would declare election invalid

Months and months and months.

#21 | Posted by eberly at 2025-10-28 09:45 PM

But don't worry ... ... ..none of you look at dumber doing it now.

#22 | Posted by eberly at 2025-10-28 09:46 PM

Any

#23 | Posted by eberly at 2025-10-28 09:46 PM

#20 - I didn't direct it towards you.

lmao.... you quoted me, then said:

"But you said you did."

Confused, Tiny Dancer?

#24 | Posted by Corky at 2025-10-28 09:50 PM

-you quoted me, then said:

Yes, after you stuck your face in the dishwasher again. And the steam burned your nose.

#25 | Posted by eberly at 2025-10-28 09:57 PM

"Would declare election invalid"

As you're no doubt aware, the only reason that didn't happen on Jan 6, is Mike Pence didn't go along with it.

What a Republican thing to say! LMAO!

Are you pretending to be Drinky Pete again?

Just don't beat your wife, m'K?

#28 | Posted by Corky at 2025-10-28 10:03 PM

Like I said ... ... I wouldn't put anything past Trump.

I'm serious when I say that.

I'm just not sure any of you are.

Oh well ... ..maybe you're serious ... ... ... .this time.

#29 | Posted by eberly at 2025-10-28 10:07 PM

"Like I said ... ... I wouldn't put anything past Trump."

It's not Trump that's going to get Trump a third term.
It's Republicans.
You wouldn't put anything past Republicans, is what you should be saying here, if you were striving for accuracy, which you aren't.

#30 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-10-28 10:10 PM

"Drinky Pete"

That reminds me ... ... you enjoyed calling GWB a dry drunk

So ... ..which is it? You an actual drunk or a recovering one?

You also said he liked to suck off a White House reporter.

So much projection ... ... ...

#31 | Posted by eberly at 2025-10-28 10:11 PM

"You also said he liked to suck off a White House reporter."

I believe the claim was that Jeff Gannon from the hastily-concocted-to-give-the-President-some-good-press Talon News was pitching, and W. was catching.

#32 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-10-28 10:14 PM

"That reminds me ... ... you enjoyed calling GWB a dry drunk"

W. should have had That Talk with Jenna.

#33 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-10-28 10:14 PM

- you enjoyed calling GWB a dry drunk

You're imagining things again; I never said anything like that.

- You also said he liked to suck off a White House reporter.

And again, nothing I ever said.

If you get the DTs, call 911.

Eb considers it a Win if he makes enough personal attacks to take the thread off topic.
