The 22nd Amendment says it plain: “No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.”
Bannon on Bill Maher, straight-up said Trump’s going for a 3rd term — and they’ve got a “team” working to circumvent the Constitution.
They’re not joking. They’re plotting. Believe them.

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

An amazing view above the Minnesota State Capitol in St Paul right now.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Incredibly moving. 1000s of Lithuanians lined the streets of the capital Vilnius yesterday to honor the four US soldiers killed on their soil.
As their bodies are repatriated to the US, their President will be nowhere to be seen, except on a Florida golf course.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

This needs more coverage. Anti-Orban protests in Hungary are growing.
Police were forced back on Liberty Bridge last night, as Budapest’s major bridges were shut down.
People chanted “fascists” & “Russians, fuck off”.
Putin’s puppet & Trump’s friend is in trouble. 👏🇭🇺
