I'm not protecting anything. Move on is all I'm saying. It'll never happen.
Maybe when this kind of nonsense stops happening, we will move on. Until then, you just keep turning a blind eye and tell everyone to “move on.”
Why wouldn't they just turn to their deep bench?
I guess they'd feel more confident with 82-86 year old Trump.
Finally trump would have to run against a man. He's never won an election against a man and I'm sure his record would remain the same if running against Obama.
it's a great move by the congressman
nothing furthers your own career prospects in teh trump world than shameless groveling
i'm assuming he's just shot up to the top of the list for future cabinet appointments

True. He states the only guy who can continue to make America great again is the guy we have in there now. What happens if he has a grabber? We must be doomed?
Northern is one of the biggest cowards on this board. He never answers questions directly. But we all know he would be pissing himself about how democrats are power hungry and crying about the sanctity of the constitution.
Then his wife would receive a serious beating. Again.
BroD doesn't care. He just likes to make sure everyone knows how little he cares by posting in the threads he doesn't care about.
He was chosen by Jesus.
I said this the weird way evangelicals pronounce Jesus.
Actually, that happened. Former New York congressman Jose Serrano, who represented a district in the Bronx from 1990 until he retired due to Parkinson’s disease four years ago, introduced a similar resolution twice during Bill Clinton’s administration and then again while Obama was President.
Remember all the outrage that followed? Yeah, me neither.
Hard to gauge "rage" when that predates the cesspool that is social media. I'm pretty sure some Republican threw his newspaper down and stormed out of the kitchen knocking over his coffee.
Lol. You do realize we had social media during the Obama administration, right? You do realize HORT existed during the Obama administration, right?
My apologies, I keyed in on "1990" and "Bill Clinton". You are correct, there was social media during that period. In fact, the beginning of his first term is when SM starting going to hell with the addition of the like button and the stupid algorithm that changed our news feeds. Man, I miss MySpace.
Rep. Serrano introduced the bill during Obama’s presidency. Social media and HORT were both very much a thing when Obama was President.
Ghee floated what he thought was a hypothetical scenario and I responded with a documented historical fact that it has already occurred.
It’s not my problem that this fact hurts your feelings.
I'm just happy you were able to both sides this before Binny got to it. Hope it gave you feelings you so obviously crave.
I didn’t both sides anything, dumbass. Ghee asked what would happen if a Democrat made this same proposal while Obama was President and I answered his question.
Maybe you should try reading the thread before insulting other posters.
Yeah, but just think…now Biden could get two more terms! 🤪
Bit of a counterpoint. - social media was still in many ways in its infancy in the late 2000s, and no one had realized the reach and influence it would have just yet.
Of course now I’m curious, did any republican do this for Reagan?
Twitter and Facebook were both already very popular by the time Obama became President. In fact, his campaign was very successful in harnessing the power of social media to build a grassroots following that helped him win the election.
I’m sure there were proposals when Reagan was President. There have been dozens
of proposals to repeal the 22nd Amendment ever since it became law.
Bill Clinton even suggested that as life expectancies increase, Presidents should perhaps be limited to two consecutive terms but then be allowed to run for a third term later on.

I’m not saying those platforms weren’t popular…but they weren’t utilized politically like they are now.Twitter and Facebook were both already very popular by the time Obama became President.

Not dissimilar to the 30s and FDR and others in the US for example began making effective use of the radio to get their messages out. Or TV a generation later.
Ghee asked Northern what he would do if a Democrat made a similar proposal when Obama was in office and then went on to claim that Northern would be “going off on some tirade about libtards, blah blah blah”.
You were on this board during Obama’s term in office. Northern was on this board during Obama’s term in office. I was on this board during Obama’s term in office.
Do you recall Northern or any other conservative on this board ranting about Serrano’s proposals to allow Obama to run for a third term?
Knowing Trump, he'd probably like to go against Obama because he would say it would get tremendous ratings.

There's a difference with trump. He's already tried to overturn an election. We all know he's willing to do some crazy shit to get his way. Those other people didn't show trumps level of cheating, so with trump everyone should take notice. For example, if you're at thanksgiving and cousin joe shows you his new 12ga shotgun, you really aren't concerned for your life. But if crazy uncle don, who is an attempted murderer, picks up the gun then you might want to take notice.
Different time. Back then people weren't concerned about a dictator taking over. There was a lot of things people didn't worry about but now we do. This is a normal thing, after a traumatic event (like J6), you're forever changed. There's no way to compare how people feel now compared to 20 years ago with something like this topic.
20 years ago? Try 12 years ago. Serrano reintroduced his proposal in 2013, when Obama was in his second term as President.
You also conveniently didn't remember the Serrano introduced similar legislation during W's presidency.
What difference does that make? I pointed out that dozens of attempts have been made to reverse 22A ever since it became law. There has probably been at least one under every President.
Ghee claimed that conservatives would have gone ballistic if a Democrat made a similar proposal while Obama was President. So I pointed out that a Democrat did propose one while Obama was President and nobody lost their shit. The fact that he also made the same proposal while Bush was President doesn’t change the fact that he did it while Obama was President.
As I said, different times. trump’s J6 changed everything. Until trump no one was concerned about a dictator trying to stay in power forever.
Not to mention obsessing over the birther conspiracy, outraged that he wore a tan suit, etc.
If you fellas could focus and choose a diversionary tactic that isn’t comically silly, that would be swell.
You’re all over the map here. One minute you’re claiming it wasn’t even possible for conservatives to get lathered up over the prospect of a third Obama term because social media wasn’t a thing yet. And then the next minute you’re claiming there simply weren’t enough hours in the day for them to rant about it because they spent all their free time on social media yammering about birth certificates and tan suits.
Those arguments, in addition to being balderdash, are contradictory. Huddle up and figure out a cohesive strategy here. Bonus points if it actually makes sense.
No, I didn’t say it wasn’t a thing yet, I said it wasn’t even close to what it would become.
It’s not contradictory - you guys were getting outraged over every single thing Obama did.
And frankly, I wouldn’t rule out that people here or elsewhere got upset about that moron congressman proposing his amendment.
