    Huh. “Elected twice”, not “served two terms”… So, even if the insurrectionist ban doesn’t pan out, Trump still has to concede that he lost the 2020 election to run again.

    Even if Obama were eligible, I doubt that we could convince him to do it again.

    He seems way too happy with retirement to want to deal with the militant toddlers that sprung up after he left.

        I didn’t know it was a competition as to whose government shit the bed worse. I guess making it one has to do with the inferiority complex you get from knowing all your ancestors were criminals.
