Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

This brings to mind what happened a few days ago in Argentina. A reporter wrote an opinion piece complaining that nobody really reads anymore and denouncing the publication because they hadn’t paid her for her column in six months. They published it! bsky.app/profile/roca...
