    This isn’t fucking cryptic at all now, is it?? Our media is such a shitshow.

    Everybody knows what this is fucking for, and that’s even more obvious since Trump flipped the fuck out on the media for reporting it and made a weak ass excuse that it was merely thanks for being swearing Trump in on inauguration day… as if that’s not something that would be done anyway and doesn’t necessarily need a “thanks.”

        “Though Trump didn’t specify what he was thanking Roberts for, it comes on the heels of a series of Supreme Court decisions that paved a path for Trump to seek another term in office with unchecked immunity.”

          To clarify for people, “another term” refers to his current term, not to a hypothetical third, as of yet.

          On the heels of, apparently meaning after a whole ass year. You’re going to give a lot of people heart attacks making it look like they approved a third term.

            Yeah, they should have used “second term” instead of “another term”, I was confused at first.

              This is how the media works, and one of the many reasons they suck.

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_v._United_States_(2024) among others. They basically declared him a king above the law, contrary to the spirit and word of the US Constitution.

            The official acts ruling basically destroyed the processes to maybe convict him for January 6th, which could have precluded another term (another meaning his current, second term, another other than this first, nothing about a third term). I first thought they were saying another one beyond his current, then realized they were just talking about his second term

            It might have done nothing anyway in time, but that ruling certainly did the process no favors.

              Oh okay so there wasn’t some ruling I miss allowing him to run third term? Thanks.

          To be fair the article in this case is entirely speculation.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
