The methods would involve a constitutional amendment. Unfortunately for him and his supporters, Republicans do not constitute 2/3 of Congress (as they only have 53 senators, and 219 Representatives). Neither do they constitute 3/4 of the state legislatures..

I don't care about pitting you against him (such a juvenile mentality), but I am pitting the values you wrote in the post against the values he exposes here daily.
Or is your argument that the list you wrote below doesn't describe him?
We all know that's not it, because he does everything you wrote about.

So, then why write what you did?
Clearly your values are less important than being liked. That's sad for an adult.
I means you're too weak of a person to stand up for and vocalize what you care about.

But, isn't this the point I was making about you MAGA types?
You guys are too cowardly to call each other out, to stand by your own values and opinions, so you play the both sides game to make it seem like everyone is as bad or intellectually dishonest as you are to mask your own insecurities, weakness and fear of being on the outs.




Next time if you're going to be too much of a coward to actually name people in a post you write calling out people because they are "people you have the utmost respect for", don't write it.
You get another dress down .Too bad you can't comprehend why. How many have blasted you sky high now.
Cococandy. I'm not saying anything.

No one is pitting you against anyone if those were your own words.

Also no one is demanding you use abusive words. The scathing post came from you willingly. Unprompted.
Android17:
Raumdeuter is a fellow chemical engineer cum businessman that I have the utmost respect for. In fact as far as NL is concerned, he is top 3 to me.

A consummate gentleman, generous guy who hardly ever gets into spats with people except they are degenerate.

Even if I disagree with him on anything, I'll never use abusive words because

- I respect the heck out of him
and. . .
- He never uses such words on me or on anyone else, first. In fact, He is usually responding to people who refuse to be civil with him. Most people who know him from time on NL will tell you same.

Stop trying to pit me against him. It won't work. He doesn't need me to defend him but I need you to stop speaking on my behalf.

Thanks and God bless.

For someone like you it’s only honest if Trump is being praised. That’s not what the media in a free country is for.

And I said long ago, when the time comes, he would just not leave. It will be "screw the constitution"......And there will be nothing, absolutely nothing that anyone can do about it.

All the apparatus set up to disarm him and this insane move have been completely monopolised. And this is what made him dangerous from the outset.

There is no part of all this that I did not predict correctly. The fact that this was not general consensus, still alarms the hell out of me.

You see this? Clowns like this guy are already preparing "constitutional legitimacy" for Trump, at least from the point of view of the electorate. 'Because he believes he was robbed in the 2020 election'

And so it begins. America as you know it is over.

They can believe 2020 election was stolen because their guy didn’t win but when him and his billionaire crony admit to rigging this past election, they turn a blind eye. Not a word. Even he does not believe he’s liked enough to win all swing states. Even him and his followers know they are delusional about that. Democrats of course always taking the high road won’t say anything because they want irrefutable proof.

Honestly I’m inclined to believe they rigged 2020 as well but were extremely shocked when it didn’t go their way that’s why they’ve been griping about it ever since. That’s why he felt emboldened to ask officials to find him 11 thousand votes. As if votes just come out of the air.

Honestly I see all you are seeing and I know how desperate and mad Trump can be. I just don't know why a part of me still believe he won't be that mad; because that will be a call for anarchy and civil war as never seen before. Far too many Americans own guns and even the military will be divided between those whose allegiance is to the constitution and those whose allegiance is to the Commander in Chief. So because of the ugliness I see with it's happening, I just want to pray and believe it wont happen, if it does; the USA will definitely not be the same again.

You now see why unbridled sycophancy is terrible! Popular presidents like Clinton, Obama and Reagan never mused about a 3rd term, even though they would have handily won the additional term, because they (and others) believed that no one has a monopoly of leadership.

There is a reason why term limits were introduced after the 12-yr presidency of FDR; one of them being that the U.S. shouldn’t have a cult-like presidency

There is one method where he can run as VP with a "placeholder" as President.
Once the ticket wins, the placeholder would resign and Trump would ascend to President.

It was a very reasonable comment about things that I think are very weighty and it could have lead to a reasonable discussion without abusive words between them.
And with what is going on in the US, people having the strength to have these conversations and call these stuff out is really needed right now.

I read the discussion you and someone else had about education in the North.
Someone slightly disagreed with a comment you made, you saw his perspective and offered to clarify, he ultimately saw what you were saying.
No abusive words
And, in the process, I learned some things about education in the North.

But that same “method” stipulates that a person who is ineligible to be president cannot serve as VP. So even if Vance steps down, Trump will still be barred from ascending to the presidency.

You're right.
From the 12th Amendment.
The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by cococandy(f): 5:47pm On Mar 31, 2025
I think he means to address beme.ruca and basil but he can’t call them out without roping in raum who “he respects”. They all basically share the same opinion as far as Trump’s presidency is concerned, so can’t be separated from each other.

That’s why he’s tiptoeing around the recipients of his post. And of course he has to throw in the caveat of “I think Kamala would’ve been worse”, so that those ones don’t turn on him as someone who’s defected to the liberal side. I can’t imagine the stress he’s feeling trying to stand up for what he knows is ultimately right but so gosh darn afraid of losing social capital with them.

Anyway for the first time in his grandiose postings, I find myself agreeing with a lot of what he said. Hopefully he won’t care about what anyone thinks while he’s voicing his truth.

I know I don’t. I speak my mind. If we make kiss and make up in the future, splendid. If not, no wahala too. grin

He’s replacing military leaders who have years of experience and dedication to the constitution with sycophants who won’t say no to him.

I wouldn’t hold my breath that he won’t attempt this.

The reason why this season in American politics is so different is that whether republican or democrat, most politicians always recognized that there’s such a thing as too much, too far, too extreme. Not Trump. He doesn’t have a mental stop button that tells him when to stop. (Except the threat of personal financial ruin).

Most presidents stuck to the unspoken code of honor. Now that Trump is showing how easy it is to dismantle American democracy, we’re learning that a lot of the rules of law we enjoyed were available to us because prior leaders chose to respect it not because there’s a serious infrastructure in place to actually enforce it if push came to shove.

It reminds me of the local farmers in my neighborhood who leave eggs and flowers for you to pick and pay based on honor. No one is there to watch you or judge you but everyone understands that the honorable thing to do is to pay for what you take. Trump is that guy who’ll take everything and walk away because who’s going to check him? Right?

I think Biden tried when he was leaving by telling the military to remember the oath they took to protect the Constitution. And he also appointed a good number of judges before he left. All those useless executive orders he’s been trying to use to take over our democracy have been slowed down thanks to the foresight of Biden.
That’s why you see them floating the idea of removing judges and trying to pass a bill to disempower congress.

Dark days ahead if more politicians don’t stand up and stop him.

Cue his “you’re playing the victim” response in 3..2..1

That one only has like maybe 5 template responses he can apply to any and every conversation. 5 is even generous. He doesn’t know anything except to minimize conversations above his room temperature IQ as emotional, or call the respondent a victim for pointing out his childish sexism, or gaslight by telling you what you’re seeing is a lie. Actually I think he might be limited to these 3 templates.

Outside of that, his brain starts to short circuit.
