China removing Presidential 2 term limit. Will US follow?

[USA!USA!]

Nice stretch thread, stretch Armstrong.

Jesus Christ.

 

[HockeyBjj]

It's a constitutional amendment. Not just a rule or law. It won't get touched, although I'm sure some crazy Alex jones types will be calling for it if Trump somehow wins 2020

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

I'm frankly curious. Trump is reportedly calling for the death penalty for drug dealers, like a dictator does.
Wouldn't surprise me at this point

 

[USA!USA!]

The whole reason we have a limit in the constitution is because we had our own super popular president who got elected to four terms. If we put in term limits because of someone we liked, I don't think it's going to be that easy to sell removing them for anyone.

It's a different time, but I don't think it's that different. Most of us understand the benefit of presidential term limits.

This exactly. People suggesting otherwise are completely overreacting and stretching. Some folks really seem to give Trump too much credit sometimes for being some kind of evil mastermind dictator.

Don't you just love it?

China demonstrates how draconian Socialism's inherent nature is, AGAIN (hi Chavez!), and you use it as a springboard to talk shit about the USA rather than simply concede China is a political apocalypse to global metrics of freedom waiting to erupt, and will have all of the anti-American twats across the world suddenly begging and weeping for the world they knew to return.

But it won't. It will be too late.

And how is Russian "Democracy" doing?

I am pro America, pro Freedom. Government of the people, by the people and for the people. I am anti authoritarianism.

But do you even pay attention to what is going on in America? Try reading this:

More than half of Republican voters surveyed said they would be in favour of suspending the 2020 election if Donald Trump asked for more time to weed out illegal voters, a new poll shows.

According to the poll, run by two academic researchers and published in the Washington Post, 52 per cent of those Republicans would agree with postponing the election if the President felt it was necessary.

That isn't democracy. That isn't freedom. That isn't the constitution. That is indoctrinating complete dependence on the charismatic leader and his assertions and whims. Those are the sheep. And that is terrifying for any freedom loving real American patriot.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

they love Xi over there.

But during his rise to power, there were a couple of attempts at his life.

I think most Trump Sheep will support this. There is a certain percentage of people that are born followers as we've seen throughout the 20th century, and it doesn't matter if they are Right or Left. Some very sad times are coming.

Authoritarianism spreads. Democracy dead.

The article is kinda confusing. Oh well.

China want to keep China great, but there might be a problem with that.
This means that China — like the Soviet Union before it — has been unable to solve the issue of institutionalized succession.

.............

Again Trump could NEVER EVER pull it off.

He might not last a single term !

Trump has neither the leadership and charisma to convince people that he should be allowed to run as long as he wants too.

For a president to pull it off he would have to have a 70 % approval rating at minimum have his entire political party united behind and have the legal ability to convince a majority of states to rescind the 22nd amendement.

That is not Trump

I grudgingly respect that he was able to win the election bucking the odds but this is ridiculous.

Are you retarded?

You just compared the repeal of Presidential term limits to a poll indicating that a severe minority of overall Americans would support the mere proposition of delaying a future vote that Trump himself hasn't even proposed.

I am also skeptical that you're American (or pro-freedom).

 

[BForrester]

It's a bastard to make changes to the constitution. Needs two-thirds support in both the House and the Senate, then three-fouths support from the states.

You are actually retarded.

If you werent such a piece of shit you'd remember how many people wanted Obama to be president for life.

No one is legitimately looking to end the 2-term limit.

Those things that keep slipping through your hands? Those are straws.

The trend is obvious. Are we to wait until our freedom is gone before being allowed to talk about it or take notice of what is happening around us? What kind of insanity is that?

"Sit back and trust your charismatic leader, he will do what is best for you!"

You are definitely not pro freedom. Read some pamphlets from the American Revolution. Take some history lessons and learn how the slow creep of authoritarianism took hold. It isn't an overnight thing.

I'm supposed to remember something that only happened in your mind? Are you delusional?
Please show your sources. I don't support authoritarianism by anyone, anywhere.

You sound like an upset sheep trying to create distractions.

 

[Mark Hunts FIST]

The countrues with no term limits also have mass political corruption. Not interested

Anyone who supports this is a commie bastard.

The back and forth (presidency) between r and d is what makes this country great.

 

[P4p Islam]

The Left would commit collective suicide after Trump won his third presidency.

#Lol

You also don't support critical thinking.

There was a running gag in hollywood and pop culture and pretty much everywhere else with people talking about how they'd vote for Obama a 3rd time. This was before the R & D candidates were selected. The "line" even made an appearance in the movie Get Out. Either you aren't American or you're full of shit if you want to act like that didn't happen. If you don'r want to take my words for it, a 5 second Google seach would settle it. Meanwhile a lot of Trumpsters were encouraged by Trump suggesting that he would limit the terms of Senators and Congressmen. That's not to say he'd accomplish that goal at all, but that shows that the opposite sentiment of the trash you are trying to peddle here exists among his supporters.

Again, no one on any side is serious about removing the 2 term limit, although a lot of Obama voters were chattering about it a while back.

But I think the major take-away here is that you are an idiot, and this thread is trash.

 

[trident]

Yeah hate to say it , but if he beats the DOJ/FBI , he’s untouchable . I could see him suspending elections if we went to war with N Korea or some other major battle ( Iran anyone ?) . Or...Ivanka and Patrick Bateman , I mean , Kushner sliding in on daddy’s coattails in 3 years . Generations of Trump . Like the Lannisters on Game of Thrones .

If Bush Cheney couldnt figure out a way to do it, Trump ain't.

 

[Byron Carter]

It begs the question, "why?"

The only two answers I can come up with are

A.) Human greed. Xi wants to be Emperor and the benefits that come with it.

B.) CPC is prepping for some large scale aggression, or actions which may ruffle some feathers. Expanding into the Middle East, India, and South China Sea.



Now... China already has 5 year term limits, so we'd be looking at a 71 year old Xi when his term would be up. So does he really need to do it for the personal benefit? How many more years does he plan to actually lead into his 70s?


That leaves us with the 2nd, and more likely option. China is preparing to make a move.

And with them releasing horrifying propaganda like this.... Dark times could be ahead:

You are using popular culture jokes to support your nonsense?

Oh little lambkin, you've lost your mind!

Trump has trained his sheep to feed on his Tweets. They are chemically addicted to the release of anticipatory dopamine like Pavlov's dogs. To them his assertions are more authoritative than any facts. He is the source of their truth.

The Trump Tax Scam funneled massive amounts of money away from the people directly to the elites and corporations. Crumbs will later be dispersed at their whim to the compliant sheep, further reinforcing their complete dependency on authority and hierarchy. The HUGE deficits ensure the sheep's lambs and grand-lambs will be in debt for centuries to come.

The North Korea like military marches (on our tax dollars) are a further public and very visible reinforcement of this authority.

It is only the beginning.

Canada has no term limits for PM`s. I'm still waiting for the Quebecois genocide to happen


Fucking hyperbole...

Me too bro.

Sooner we wipe Frenchies off the New World map the better.
