*profits not guaranteed. in the event of mass economic collapse, cross your fingers for a bail out. This is not financial advice.

I find it kind of psychologically interesting how many reddifugees self censor, either directly or through obscuring names and events. That site's moderation is seriously screwing people up.

Does it really take up a third of the screen the whole time? I really hope this is for demonstration only...

I realize I'm playing advocate for a devil that needs no help, and I hope you're right. Simply saying there are arguments taking place that seperate the requirements of "being elected" as defined in the 22nd vs "being eligible" as defined by article 2.

As it's been explained to me, this interpretation would of course be challenged, and ultimately determined by our wonderful supreme court.

I agree it would be a temporary measure. Realistically Republicans only need ~6 more governors on board before they can start talking constitutional amendments, and do away with these pesky restrictions all together.

Well, trump wouldn't be elected into position - that is explicitly prohibited. So no running for him or Obama.

The "loophole" is that he's trying to line up a coordinated effort to elect other GOP members. After elected they'll nominate trump into the line of succession as Secretary of State or another unelected position. Once the pawns are in place, the line of succession simply has to step down until it falls to him. Third term without breaking the "elected twice to office" condition.

Chosen by him, but he can't fire the VP. Pence would have been gone Jan 5 if he could. Fun note, VPOTUS used to be the presidential runner up, until the twelth amendment. That's a bit why the office is protected and elected seperately.

I'd enjoy seeing them in a more Yubaba style. Give em the gross details.

The right time to go back in is whenever this admin is done, there is no "low" when the floor keeps falling out.

Many drivers are signed for 2026/27 now, teams are locking down through the regulation changes, external circumstances are removing options. I hope he works out at vcarb because I liked the driving I saw when he subbed - but nothing is guaranteed.

I'm gutted for Lawson, it doesn't feel like he got a fair shot to acclimate. Red Bull is absolutely ruthless. Godspeed Tsunoda, hope it works out better for you.

I think red bull is about to discover they don't have a car, just a Max.

They're still peddling that other countries pay tariffs, which becomes "US revenue", and Americans will get a big tax break because importers pay our taxes now.

Yep.

Fired!? Heavens no, multiple people should be in jail. but best we can do is pardons and maybe a raise.

I assure you you're not naive. They didnt do background checks or security onboarding for the cabinet "because it would take too long".

I'll stress that's just to get in the door. Usually if you're going to the doctor they'll want to run xrays, CT scans, MRIs, blood tests, whatever diagnostics and it starts escalating fast.

But this is stuff people can plan for. Emergency visits are much worse in my experience, suffering from appendicitis would have put us $40k in the hole overnight without insurance.

A bad cold or flu you probably wouldn't go to a doctor, just an urgent care clinic for some antibiotics or whatever. Probably run $100-$150 + cost of meds (hopefully generic).

If urgent care can't help, an out of pocket visit to primary care provider will be closer to $300 just to step in the door. Hospitals will put you on a payment plan if you can't front it.
