    I kinda dare them to run Trump against AOC. Too bad our voting machines aren’t open source so they are transparent and Musk will likely control elections going forward.

      Trump can’t run again, no matter what they keep saying about it. States control their own elections, and will not allow him on the ballot on the majority of the states because they actually give a shit about the constitution.

        Colorado’s Supreme Court found that he engaged in an insurrection and was therefore ineligible. Then SCOTUS basically said “uh, this gives me the federal feelsies because it’s a federal office, so Congress has to do it”

        Feels like all Congress has to do is say that the first term didn’t count. But to be honest I can see poor health catching up to him first anyway.

        How much you wanna bet they’re gonna do it anyway and red states will go along? Thats four years, though. Might as well be eternity in this climate.

          He literally cannot be President again according to the constitution. They MIGHT try to run someone else with him as VP, then have that person step down, but the Constiris crystal fucking clear on this.
