1. So he's saying the only people he can beat are dead people?

[RockRaven]

2. Well, yeah, those guys would both be ineligible to be elected nowadays (22nd Am)

22nd Amendment which is now in effect says one can only be elected twice. Both of them have already been elected twice. So if Washington+Lincoln were magically alive ANYONE who hadn't been elected twice already (like TCF) would win by default, just by being the only person running actually eligible for it.

Fucking dumbass blind squirrel.

4. I don't know about GW

But Abraham Lincoln would have called up Sherman and told him to march across that obese traitor.

[Retrograde]

8. I believe the 22nd didn't apply to previous presidents

Truman was eligible for election in 1952 despite having served almost two full terms, but he chose not to run. IIRC the Constitution doesn’t allow retroactive laws

[EYESORE 9001]

9. I think eliminating term limits is child's play

compared to reanimation of the dead 🧟

3. And our worthless media continues to lie down on the job

By never asking him once, 'Who are "they?" Name them.'

5. "They" meaning the voices in Donald's head

[LoisB]

6. Sure Donnie.

Another "Sir" story - was it a big strong man with tears in his eyes who "said" that to you?

7. I had imaginary friends when I was 5 or so, too.

I don't recall them being lunatics, though. (Except for that one who goaded me into eating a worm. I think he's an advisor to GOP politicians these days.)

10. and yet he is losing in the polls

to an African American woman

[Charmin One]

11. Sorting Coke with Junior?

Cocaine is a hellova drug

[malaise]

12. He is stark, raving mad

and that barely scratches the surface
