  • I fully expect them to come up with some kind of insane rationale to try to get around the 22nd amendment and it will come down to a stacked deck supreme court to rule on its constitutionality

    It will be fun to watch the Supreme Court justices try their best to distort reality on an amendment specifically designed to handle instances such as this.

    It’s going to be a brain melter for sure

    I think I might just sell everything I own, quit my job and move somewhere low cost and tropical after November 7, 2028

    I wish I had already done it. I just honestly didn’t think America would elect a convicted felon. Even just misspelling the word “potato” used to be a deal breaker


  • Can’t happen

    Congress: A two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate is required

    Constitutional convention: Two-thirds of state legislatures must call for a convention

    Ratification

    Three-fourths of state legislatures or conventions must ratify the amendment

    Each state legislature must vote on the amendment in an up-or-down vote

    State legislatures cannot change the language of the amendment

    This bill is DOA, it’s just (more) political theater

    If anything it’s an admission of the realization that Trump won’t be able to accomplish much of anything in just 4 years at the pace government functions











  • It’s great when a professor can be inspirational

    I had to learn math out of desperation. Unbeknownst to me because I had terrible math teachers, I had a natural talent for math.

    It wasn’t until I joined the military after high school that the military discovered my math abilities on the ASVAB and put me in a job that required a lot of math.

    Every class for my job had an intense amount of math that gained significant difficulty with each passing grade. It was either pass the class or get reclassed to a guaranteed terrible job not of your choosing.

    Grinding out math became my only focus for 10-12 hours a day out of fear of severe penalty

    Made me wish I had decent math teachers back in school, I felt like I was operating with a handicap
