I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Requiring people to work to access healthcare is a classic eugenicist platform. It says that only those who are healthy and fit enough for jobs are worthy of care.
The GOP plan to impose Medicaid work requirements is cruel and grotesque; it should be labelled as such by media.

Dog we gotta do something about these moron law professors. There are people alive today who saw the 22nd passed. It is not an ancient inscrutable piece of religious text, its simple and clear as day. 2 terms and you're done. That's it. That's what it says.
Anyone discounting a 3d Trump term per the 22d am + the 12th am is thinking magically: The 22d dsn’t bar *serving* a 3d term, only being *elected* 3 times. The 12th dsn’t bar running for VP unless “ineligible” to serve as Pres, but Trump isn’t ineligible. QED!
