Now is the time to pay attention.

Mike Huckabee pitching extended presidency for Trump

Just joking! Ha ha, it’s a joke, I didn’t really mean to be a lifetime president, unless you think that’s a good idea, then I’m totally not joking.

I think many of us were saying this 2 years ago and we were branded as hysterical chicken littles.

Indeed, we were branded as Chicken Littles, but those of us who saw it understood that the Republicans were declaring war on reality.

For every fact, you can have multiple truths – truth is subjective. It is only through shared hardship that we shall again have shared truth.

That is precisely why I have been the resident ‘realist’ - okay, fine, I’m a shit ass, obnoxious pessimist.

But this is why.

If the constitution is a living document to be interpreted as the political winds blow why not? Words having precise meanings is a construct of the patriarchy.

I mean, if Trump had once-in-several-lifetimes charisma, and consistently had approval ratings higher than 70% no matter what, then yeah, I would understand Democratic fear of the guy trying to become president for life.

But now? He’s an underdog for 2020 itself. If he managed to legally run again in 2024, he might not even crack 150 electoral votes.

Ah, so your analysis is that if Trump were to go for a third term, it would only be because the Dems made it ok?

Sometimes it’s nice to get a reminder of just how spectacularly unfunny conservatives are.

Man, that’s harsh! I might have to rethink my position on how reprehensible I want the pit to be if sentiments like that are allowed.

My analysis is when language is undermined for political expediency don’t be surprised if that tactic is hijacked.

Comedy is harder for conservatives because the Left only leaves us with bitter irony to work with.

If it’s any consolation, I deleted the part where I mocked you not just for being unfunny, but also insanely simpleminded.

Thank you. :slight_smile:

Mike Huckabee and the words “pay attention”, these two things don’t go together.

The line between Republicans’ genuine “thought” and their own self-parody is so blurred nowadays that I don’t know what to think of Suckabee’s twitterings. Either way, Suckabee’s highest priority must be to keep his tongue firmly inside the Orange Rectum, pleasuring his God.

Dude, you’re an insult to cephalopodes.

Thank god idiocy of this sort is coming out to counter the idiocy that Hilary might run again.

:dubious:

Sounds like the Democrats ought to re-nominate President Obama next year. After all, the illegitimate actions of Mitch McConnell regarding the Merrick Garland nomination clearly deprived President Obama of the second term which he rightfully won in 2012.

Obama in 2012 had 65,915,795 popular votes, as opposed to either Trump’s 62,984,828 or Clinton’s 65,853,514; and, most importantly, Obama had 332 electoral votes as opposed to Loser Don’s 306/304. And of course Obama did even better than that in 2008–69,498,516 popular votes and 365 electoral votes. I bet the crowd even for Obama’s second inauguration was bigger than Trump’s SAD inaugural crowd. And Obama’s hands are bigger too (as are, admittedly, his ears).

I know, right? Like how Obama spent all those years “joking” about being President for more than eight years! And Hillary Clinton paying off a pornstar and threatening her right before an election! And Sasha Obama having to go to ethics training after swindling millions from cancer and veteran charities!

The irony, it burns!

I lobbied hard to leave you with nothing, but was overruled by some of my bleedingheart colleagues.
