yobnoc 142 #1 Posted May 6, 2019 I was waiting to see if anyone would post on the President* dipping his toe in the waters of dictatorship, suggesting he gets two years added to his first (hopefully only) term. I know many people who lamented about wishing Obama could run a third term, but it was in the abstract and always with a dismal sigh, because it's inherently seen as a non-starter. Never once did Obama complain that he should be given a longer term though. This is the stuff of autocrats, folks. And I bet the base DGAF. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowlerk 1,904 #2 May 7, 2019 Hmmmm.... I have not heard anything about that. Let me guess, he sent out a tweet complaining that his first two years should not count because of all the investigations. He deserves a do over for them. AMIRITE? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone should run that has integrity, and charisma enough to beat him. Anymore it really doesn't matter what the platforms are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, you have to understand that society's collective memory only goes back so far and keeps getting shorter, much like it's attention span, which I believe is now at 8 seconds.
