Thread: Could Trump become President for Life?

    You are welcome, emmelin. I am exposed to a lot of political information, so if there is any such information that anyone wants, I may be able to help provide it.

    Default Taking Sides

    This whole "taking sides" thing is exactly what both our adversaries and the mega-corporations desire. Our adversaries desire it because it will make for an easy takeover when the time comes. The mega corporations desire it because when people are divided, it actually creates more opportunities for control and profits.
    Both parties are in-bed with the corporations, and our President is in-bed with our adversaries, making the situation even worse.
    To me, anyone who simply signs-in with either party and just goes with their platform views is essentially brain-dead, and just exactly what those in control want.
    It's really time for Americans to stop allowing themselves to be dumbed-down and start to move back to Government of the people, for the people, and by the people.

    I like your last statement, but when people vote against their own self-interest. (Health Care is a perfect example) The Republicans from the President on down want us to go backwards on Health Care. What can you say but, "you can't fix stupid" so what do you do?

(not even a bite) I threw this question at my friend Phil. He in-effect was arguing the con of that argument and I was arguing the possibility of that happening. At the end of our discussion, he came up with nothing that said it couldn't happening.

    The first question comes up was, has it ever crossed Trump's mind of becoming President for life??? The answer is Yes!!! Just last month when the President of China declared himself President for life. Trump said, "maybe we should try that!!" If your first argument is, "no politician would have the O dasity to do something that's never been done before." I want you to think back to what Mitch McConnell did with Obama's last Supreme court nominee. (refused to bring him up for a vote) They stole a seat that was rightfully Obama's pick.

    Here's how he could do it. In 2020 Trump could come up with any excuse to cancel the 2020 Presidential election. Safety is always a good excuse but the reason is irrelevant!! It's what you try to do about it, is what's important.

    Take it to the Supreme Court and claim his actions are Unconstitutional. Ok let's say you do that and it comes back 9 to nothing that Trumps action was Unconstitutional. Then what??? The Supreme court has no enforcement arm to enforce it's ruling. Trump say's, "I'm not listening to them" I'm staying!!! (Fake Judges)

    My friend Phil argued the army would force him out. Really the President is Commander and Chief of all the military. Do you really think some General would have enough troops loyal to him to take on the rest of the army. Nope not going to happen!!!

    The people would take to the streets and force him out. Just like they did in Ten Ann Men square in China. That's not going to work. People can protest all they want, but as long as Trump has the army backing him up. He's not going any where.

    There is only 2 way's to get rid of a physco President and see if either of those 2 things would work.

    The first way is the 25th Amendment. This is where the majority of Trumps hand picked cabinet votes that he's incapacitated to do the job of President. Sorry folks that's not going to happen!!!

    The second and last way is through Impeachment in the House and conviction in the Senate. I could see them vote and get an Impeachment majority in the House of Representatives. (especially if the Democrats take back the House) But it means nothing, if you don't get an conviction in the Senate. It takes an 2/3 vote of guilty in the Senate to get an conviction.

    Let's do the Math. For our example we will go with a 50/50 split of Democrats and Republicans in the Senate. (it's actually 49-51 Republicans) You need 2/3 of the Senators to vote for conviction. All 50 Democrats will vote for an conviction but will 16 Republicans vote to throw Trump out???? (a few will but not 16)












    I'll bet I know what you are thinking???? etucker must be smoking the good stuff to think they wouldn't convict!!!

    Let's think about this for a minute from the Republican side. Yes it's going against their principles not to convict. But what are they giving up if they convict. A possible Democratic as President. Which means no more Conservative judges on the Supreme Court. They will never be able to repeal Obama Care. The 2nd amendment might come under attack. Abortion will stay the law of the land. The tax cuts they just passed might be thrown out the window. The Military budget might go down. Plus Trump is so dumb and lazy, he will sign anything we stick under his nose to sign into law!!! So it would be pretty hard for 16 Republican Senators to vote for conviction!!!

    Do you see my logic????

    Let's just hope Trump doesn't have the stones to try this, but if he does???? I think he could get away with it!!!!!
    I brought up my own old post for a very good reason. Trump just made the first move to make this possibly happen! He tweeted yesterday July 29, 2020 that he thinks the 2020 Presidential election should be postponed! (indefinitely) He cited Covid 19 and that a Mail in election would be riddled with voter fraud. So he should remain President till this all get's straightened out. If you remember what he said about releasing his Tax returns after the audit was completed. (he means never!)

    I wrote this thread 2 years ago and I was kinda amazed how accurate I was in predicting the future! (not like others who listen to Right Wing News outlets.) Lol The Democrats did take back the House and did Impeach him. But as I predicted only 1 Republican Senator voted for conviction. (Romney)

    Let's just hope Trump lives up to be the Coward we all know he is and he's all talk! But if he was to actually go through with this and try to become President for Life! 2020 will go down as the worst year in our country's existence!

    p.s. For those who think this website is dying. It's not dying, it just changed to lots of Lurkers and not to many people actually posting. I just checked the viewers and it's twice as many as it was years ago! I looked at how many views this thread got and I was shocked! I would have guessed 2,500, it got 23,000! That's almost 10 times what I would have predicted!

    Hello ETucker. There is no way that Trump can change the date of the election. What he is trying to do, though, is to cast doubt on the results when he loses.

    I used to post reports here all the time, but no longer. You are correct, Erik. I became discouraged with the haters here, plus frankly, ridding us of the Orange Scourge and his entire party is far more important to me. I have lots of fishing photos but haven't posted them here (They are on Facebook.) Most recently, fishing trips have been few and far between with the lockdown and my Prius in the shop for a month because rodents had chewed on the wires. I saw that you went to the Silverwood docks recently. That is exactly where we were going to go last Tuesday, but I realized that the Poppy Pass was in my Prius at the dealer, so we went to Hemet Lake instead in the rental car that they gave us. The road is open now, although it's one side at a time in the washout area. I can report that the fishing is good for Bluegill there, but it's surprisingly crowded. A large family set to fishing on a rock about 10 feet from where I was stationed, about an hour after I got there. LOL I just casted to their left, caught fish and no problems tangling with them or their lines.

    Let me tell you a funny story about this website. I will admit during Obama's Presidency this website was very active. It had everything, fishing posters, political posters and plenty of Haters and Trolls! Then Donald Trump got elected and most of the Big Mouth Conservative ran for the Hills! (it was more fun to pick on the Black President then defend Donald Trump!) So what also ran away was the Haters and the Trolls! It's been a long time since I've seen any hating on any fish report! Not that their is many fish reports on here, but the ones that are posted on here, are more or less Bullet Proof to the Haters! (it would take a lot of nerve to Hate on the few fish reports that are posted) So with all that being said, "don't be afraid to post fish reports on here!" You would be SAFE!!!!! If someone did try to hate on your fish reports. "I've got a lot of stored up angry" after putting up with Trump and those Stupid Republicans for 3 1/2 years! I would go Billy Jack on them in a heartbeat! Lol

    trump is a looser and bad for the nation

    he took office with the nation having the best economy in our history
    he has driven it into the toilet in 3 years

    and some will say it's the pandemic not trump but thats just a pile of pig ****

    his tariffs a total failure

    every foreign trade agreement he stroked himself over total failure


    arms and nuclear deals

    north korea's little brother played him like a fiddle

    the russians own him for what ever reason, hopefully one day will see the facts

    the persians mock him as most world leaders also do

    and the chinese have marginalized him to the point of irrelevance



    and last but not least
    don't forget about the pandemic
    that he has to take full responsibility for total mismanagement
    this will kill at least 300,000 citizens under his watch
    while he places our fate in the hands of someone that looks to space people and voodoo for a cure

    the bottom line is trump is a puss sucking lying piece of ****

    I know all about it, Erik. I had a front row seat the whole time. LOL I would still post fishing reports more, if I didn't have so many other obligations, plus, I like to be thorough and accurate when I post. But the possibility of haters is still in the back of my mind. I do try to keep people somewhat updated on major local lakes like Perris and Hemet, but I have also fished from time to time in the Sierras and out of state in recent years. As far as out of state fishing goes, I figure few people on this site will go to the same places and most have probably not even heard of them.

    When I was 18 and took my first psychology class in college. The teacher gave an example of an scenario that kinda fit your situation. If a person saw a wallet in the street (that he didn't know was part of experiment of negative reinforcement.) and when he went to pick it up. He would then receive a small electrical shock. That person was now forever conditioned to be afraid of picking up another wallet found in the street! (he subconsciously would fear getting another mild shock) Even though the chances are 1 in a million that would ever happen to him again! As I said earlier, it's been along time that I've seen anybody Hate on someones fish report! Their is just no live cover for anybody to do that! All's anyone would have to do is remind the Hater. That fish reports on here are so few and far between and if you ever want to read another one again. To keep your negative thoughts to your self!
