Andy Ogles proposes amendment to allow Donald Trump to serve third term
thehill.com

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we’re finally rid of him.

    That would take a whole-ass new Constitutional Convention and require essentially unanimous agreement with every state in the union.

    This is simply the state of Tennessee dog whistling and begging their daddy Trump to give the state more welfare money.

    If you are a voter in Tennessee reading this, fuck yourself for allowing that shit stain senator into power, even if you didnt vote for him. Your state is full of disgraceful uneducated morons.

      This is only true if anyone actually tells Trump no.

        Apologies. Tennessee is a fucking beautiful state with beautiful people. I take back what I said earlier; there’s a small number of loud shit stains representing a large group of diverse and amazing people.

        I’m a transplant living in NET. Asheville is one of my favorite cities. It’s like a breathe of nearly fresh air whenever I get down there. Have you been to Firestorm? The coffee/book shop?

              Erwin got hurt bad in Helene. It looks like Fallout where I26 passes thru. Still have roads that collapsed locally. Thankful they got one lane working so we can’t cut off from Asheville anymore.

                Yeah, I know. It’s terrible. There’s another lemming around here I’ve spoken to that lives in Erwin.

                I’d actually spoken to them about this,but then got distracted and didn’t do it. We should make a community for NET and surrounding.

          AVL is great, if not worsening and getting outrageously expensive these days. TBH I don’t even live in Asheville proper anymore, I actually like not paying $2k per month for rent. I’ve got my eyes set on Detroit in the next year or two.

          Firestorm is the anarchist bookstore, no? I’ve not been but it’s been on my radar for years. Might have to check it out this weekend now that you’ve reminded me.

            For a few years as a kid I lived in Black Mountain, but I barely remember it. I love Asheville for visiting, I don’t really know what it’s like to live there. The whole reason I’m in Tennessee is because it got too expensive in Virginia Beach. I can’t imagine it’s much better in Asheville.

            And yeah, anarchist worker cooperative. They’re amazing.

        Johnson City here!!! I do head to Asheville a decent amount. Especially after Helene (once I26 reopened) to give Downtown businesses some economic love.

    How about introducing an amendment to just create a dynastic succession? The country can just pass to one of his failsons.

    Also: let’s make xtianity a requirement in this country - mandated attendance in “proper” version of the 10,000 xtian denominations.

    I mean, while we are just rewriting how America works…

    Wonder if any Democrats will vote for it.

    I mean, they will get a third chance to move right and blame the left when they lose.
