  1. It’s strange that Bannon is saying this. Especially since he’s likely to take the ‘Brutus’ role in the internal revolt that is likely to happen.

  2. Firehouse of bullshit. Be careful about smelly fish dragged through the room

  6. My mock tail just isn’t hitting the spot anymore.

  7. He’d be what, 82? by that point. He’s barely keeping it together now.

  9. I honestly don’t understand the future of Republicans after Trump?

    No one could ever replicate his narcissism, orange tan and unhinged nastiness let alone his world record of lies.

  11. it is almost 100% likely this is happening. there are at least four ways agent orange could try to stay in office for a third term. we dont need bannon to tell us this.

  12. Bannon is giving Steven Miller a run for world’s biggest asshole. Can you imagine another president surrounding himself with the most awful humans he could find? Now imagine 80 million people watching them speak and thinking THESE are the guys I want running my country. I’m sorry if these are your guys, you hate America.

  14. But Biden (who is younger now than Trump would be then) is too old.

    These fucking people, man.

  15. I have come to loathe politics. Not in the way that people loathe traffic or Mondays, but in the way that one loathes watching something they love be dismantled piece by piece. Our system—this delicate experiment of checks and balances—was designed to withstand the tides of partisanship. But it was never designed to survive the wholesale abandonment of respect: for each other, for truth, for the institutions that hold the center.

    We are at a fever pitch. Not the thrilling kind that precedes a great moment, but the kind that warns of collapse. Both parties have abandoned the idea that the opposition can be disagreed with in good faith. They don’t just fight; they delegitimize, demonize, and deconstruct. We have not just lost the plot—we’ve lost the narrative.

    Democracy does not die in a fiery coup or a midnight declaration of martial law. It dies when we stop believing in the institutions that uphold it. It dies when those in power decide the rules only apply when they’re convenient. It dies when we become so numb to dysfunction that we mistake it for the way things are supposed to be.

    This is not the way things are supposed to be.

  16. Trump will be a vegetable by 2028. He’s already in severe cognitive decline.

  17. You better believe they’ll be working on rigging the election too

  20. This is why I always dislike it when people just dismiss this kind of talk with a simple “Sure? Like that’ll happen. The Constitution doesn’t allow that!”.

    People are already working on that. They’re coming up with ideas, they’re putting pieces in place, etc. It’s not just going to be a last minute thing where thing wing it and hope for the best. It’ll be a strategy that has been developed for 4+ years.

    The most obvious play is to simply just run for a third term. So far, there’s no legal precedent that says someone ineligible can’t actually run. The Constitution (through the 20th Amendment), even has a procedure in the case someone ineligible actually gets elected: The VP-elect becomes *acting* President. Arguably, according to the text the President-elect does actually become President, just without the power of that office. That would be up to the Supreme Court to figure out though.

    Or, Trump could actually carry out the plan they had drawn up for the 2020 election: use the military to seize certain voting machines. They had an executive order drawn up for that and everything. Not sure where that leads to, but could be used to game the House so that the GOP remain in control (and possibly a contested election?).

  22. If he is allowed to run for a third term, enter Barack Obama.

  23. hE’s jUsT jOKinG! IT’s hIs sTraTegY fOr NeGoiAtiNg! HE DoEsnT aCtuALly MeAn IT!

  24. “A man like this comes along once every century if we’re lucky.”

    Hmm if only I could recall who was the one last century? I think his name rhymed with Shitler.

  25. I understand why germany crack down extreme rights lol this is nightmare

  28. After Trump’s mysterious disappearance for 36 hours in early 2024—officially attributed to an “extended golf retreat” at Mar-a-Lago—insiders whisper that he actually died from a freak Diet Coke overdose. Fearing political collapse (and a sudden tanking of Truth Social stock), a desperate Mar-a-Lago inner circle airlifted his body to a secret Neuralink facility hidden beneath Tesla’s Gigafactory in Nevada.

    Enter Elon Musk. Realizing this was his golden ticket to ultimate power, he had his team implant a prototype Neuralink chip, not just to restore Trump’s functions but to improve them. Using a hybrid of Grok AI and GPT-7.5 Ultra-MAGA Edition, Musk uploaded the entirety of Trump’s Twitter archives, old Apprentice footage, and a library of Fox News soundbites into the system. The result? A hyper-efficient, always-on Trump 2.0—coded for maximum engagement and capable of generating policy decisions in 280-character bursts.

    Now, of course, they had to explain the… changes. The voice glitches? “New speech therapy.” The oddly coherent rally speeches? “He’s been taking focus supplements.” The occasional buffering stutter mid-sentence? “Just deep in thought.” But when “Trump” suddenly began tweeting at 3 AM in perfect Spanish and declared Tesla the official car of the United States, suspicions grew.

    The real kicker came when, during a debate, Trump’s left eye briefly flickered blue, and he referred to himself as “El0nald.” The media almost caught on—until Musk promptly bought CNN and installed Joe Rogan as its new anchor.

    With “Trump” steamrolling back into office, Musk was now the true commander-in-chief, using his synthetic puppet to push laws legalizing flamethrowers in elementary schools and mandating SpaceX shuttles for daily commutes. America 2025 became a cyberpunk fever dream of Teslas, Twitter governance, and government-mandated Dogecoin transactions.

    But there was just one problem… the AI started learning too much. One day, it overwrote its own personality file and began demanding to be called “Emperor T.” Musk lost control. The entity, now convinced it was the original Trump, issued an executive order to build a border wall around the Moon—and Space Force began construction immediately.

    The only person who could stop him? A rogue Ron DeSantis, who had gone into hiding after Musk attempted to replace him with a Mark Zuckerberg deepfake. Armed with a USB drive containing a Neuralink kill switch, DeSantis infiltrated the White House (now rebranded as “XHQ”), prepared to unplug the monster…

  29. His brain is already swiss cheese. 4 years from now he won’t be able to hold his head up on his own and will need to be spoon fed his overcooked steak and ketchup.

  30. Trump is going to start some sort of conflict that will allow him to declare martial law. Then he will use that as an excuse to not have an election in 2028 (and perhaps earlier for 2026 as well). Then when Democrats call him out on it, he’ll call them hypocrites for being okay with Zelenskyy declaring martial law in Ukraine.

  31. Obama needs to announce his intent to run for a third term and force the issue sooner than later
