      To quote (Barack) Obama when he was asked in '14 or '15 about hypothetically running for reelection again if it somehow became legal, “Michelle would kill [him]”

      She’s done with the whole political pageantry bullshit, if her absences from hollow political theatre events like the Trump inauguration are any indication.

      Good for her, I say.

      Unfortunately, the legislative policy that’s being floated in the House is that a president can seek a third term only if their first two terms were non-consecutive. (Source)

        It’s not a policy, it’s a proposed constitutional amendment.

        Well, even more, it’s just performative ass-licking.

          We also said overturning Roe V Wade had no chance of passing. We also said “the president is immune to all crimes” had no chance of passing. We also said many other things they’ve passed had no chance.

          I’m not holding my breath.

            None of these things happened in congress. If there’s one thing we can still depend on it’s congressional inaction.

          Absolutely! Thankfully. Just tipping their hand with regards to the ridiculous bullshit they’ll try use to prevent a Trump vs Obama situation.
