Let's be clear: You need 2/3 of Congress and 38 state legislatures to ratify an amendment. Trump doesn't have that.
For all that my GOP colleagues claim to love our Founding Fathers, they seem to have forgotten the words of Thomas Paine: In America, there is no king but the law.

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.”

You don’t get to claim you are fighting for democracy only when you think your side will win. It is a fight precisely because the other side may prevail. It is exactly in those times that we need your voice, your energy and your action. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/now-...

I ask the people in power, with large platforms and public profiles: For the last few years, you have been saying what everyday Americans need to do. With Trump coming:
Isn't it your time to stand up?
Isn't it your time to show some heroism?
Isn't it your time to do what you expected from others?

The reason we know about RFK Jr’s brain worm is that he mentioned it during a divorce deposition, to argue that he was cognitively impaired and therefore had limited earning potential.
Now he’s up for a cabinet post

Trump Republicans forced their voters into a world of make believe. When Trump Republicans start taking away more of their voters' rights and resources and livelihoods next year, the world may start to get real for them. 1/

Let's talk about Trump nominating Rep. Matt Gaetz for Attorney General.
Is he qualified? No.
Does he have prosecutorial experience? No. . . unless you count being investigated for child sex trafficking by the DOJ and House Ethics as 'experience'. abcnews.go.com/US/witness-t...
