One of these things is not like the others, one of these things does not belong.

Between this:

Go to Federal Court now and get a declaratory judgment regarding the two terms amendment. Once the court affirms the plain meaning broadcast that declaratory judgment and announce to America that this is America and not even Trump is above the…

Kasparov whose predictions on Putin and Ukraine panned out and thinks the future of US is tied to the midterms. Timely listen.

They’re playing with rocks. You want to counter with paper airplanes?

Yes, the US Constitution is very strong on this point.  To amend Article V would require 2/3 of both the House and Senate to propose an amendment to change it. But even then it would need to be ratified by 38  out of 50 states.

Trump cannot use an executive order, Supreme Court reinterpretation, or congressional workaround that can bypass that r…[Read more]

This is my wild guess. Seems to me that Bannon’s stirring the pot ahead of time, expecting MAGA (or some future evolution of MAGA) to own the presidency.
