I've come to realize that wealth is most closely associated with a lack of ethics.

The 22nd Amendment addresses eligibility to be elected president. But there's another way to become president: The Presidential Succession Act

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

And their procedural oversight comes back bite them -- the appeals court effectively orders Trump v Selzer remanded to state court.

I don't think I could do it lol. I'm the worst liar in the world, I always feel like everyone can see right thru me 👀 (Unlike for example Stephen Colbert who did a very convincing act when he first started on Colbert Report!)

What if he were Speaker of the House? Would he be eligible to be president via succession? The answer is yes. Therefore he is Constitutionally eligible to be president (via succession) and vice president (via election or appointment), even tho he couldn't be elected president.

The 22nd Amendment makes a clear distinction between being president and being elected president. I don't think the 12th Amendment is an issue, because he would be Constitutionally eligible to be president (thru succession) even if not eligible to be elected president.

They'll appoint him Speaker of the House, then the "President" and "Vice-President" will resign immediately after inauguration, making him again the President. Neither the 22nd Amendment nor the Presidential Succession Act appear to prevent this.

He's forgiven but he would never get my vote. Those are two different things. There are thousands of people who would be better Senators. We need to find them.

A very incomplete list of things we wouldn't have done if we waited for the normies to care:

- abolish slavery
- child labor laws
- votes for women
- social security
- fdic
- welfare
- medicare
- medicaid
- desegregation
- women's sports

If anything, they're good at twisting the law or finding loopholes. He'll run for Vice President, then the "President" will resign immediately after inauguration, making him again the President. Neither the 22nd Amendment nor the Presidential Succession Act appear to prevent this.

Good reason for the next president to tear it all down. "National Security"

True, I'm not easily intimidated tho (if you were staring straight at me with a frowny face and a firearm pointed at my head, then I'd prolly give you that 9 tho lol)

That's a BS opinion for sure. The police officer temporarily seized that bag. If not a search, it was a seizure.

Zhao managed to squirrel away funds to buy his Get Out of Jail for Billion$ card. I think SBF was wiped out in the bankruptcy, no? That greatly diminished his chances of getting off.

"Maine is the whitest state in the US, with a population that's 92.2% non-Hispanic white. It's also the second-least diverse state, ranking 49th for cultural diversity and 50th for religious diversity."

Ditto! I've been cooking my rice this way for a while (always brown rice, wild rice, basamati rice, etc. -- never white rice, never precooked rice)
