Steve Bannon Is Already Setting the Stage for a Third Trump Term

[DeeDeeNY]

Speaking at the New York Young Republican Club on Sunday, War Room podcast host and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon suggested that conservatives should rally to keep the MAGA leader in power via a supposed loophole in the U.S. Constitution.
“Donald John Trump is going to raise his hand on the King James Bible and take the oath of office, his third victory and his second term,” Bannon said at the club’s annual gala.
“And the viceroy Mike Davis tells me, since it doesn’t actually say consecutive, that, I don’t know, maybe we do it again in ’28?” Bannon continued, referring to one of Trump’s former attorney general hopefuls. “Are you guys down for that? Trump ’28?”

1. Steve Bannon, another Putin lover, who hates the United States, and would love to see it destroyed

[Captain Zero]

16. Bannon is truly a Lenin Lover.

He admits he admires Lenin's tactics that developed and carried out the Russian Revolution in 1917. Lenin is his guiding historical light.

[Walleye]

20. I wish Steve would suffer the same fate as Lenin. Sorry.

[maxsolomon]

41. Or Trotsky

down in old Mehico

[Ocelot II]

23. When Satan finally calls Trump home,

will Bannon and/or the GOP try to have his fat orange corpse embalmed and installed in a glass case in a special mausoleum, like the USSR did with Lenin in 1924? It's been 100 years now, and Lenin's embalmed body needs regular upkeep. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/why-lenins-corpse-lives-putins-russia Will the GOP faithful want to fuss over Dear Leader's remains for 100 years, or would it be better to just bury him so the rest of the world can come by and piss on his grave?

35. Funny, right wingers have been bug-eyed insane and screeching Commie! at left leaning people for decades.

And it turns out that they are the actual Communists.

Then again, that is not a surprise at all.

[Magoo48]

33. Well,

Do you see Americans organizing the resistance required to stop him?

[Ocelot II]

2. He'll be 82 and in far worse shape than Joe Biden is now, if he's not actually dead.

[Walleye]

21. I have a real feeling JD will be president by then anyway

[Ocelot II]

24. Isn't Eloon going to be the real president anyhow?

[Walleye]

26. Yes, for the rest of our lives or the foreseeable future probably

[hadEnuf]

36. Age is only a problem when it is a Democrat.

n/t

[comradebillyboy]

3. Presuming The Dotard is still minimally functional in

four years. And the last time I looked the amendment setting a two term limit hasn't been overturned.

Bannon talks big but he can't deliver shit.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

4. I thought this fucker was supposed to be on trial by now.

I just looked and they pushed it back the February 25th.

So sick of this shit.

[Captain Zero]

18. He will probably get his SECOND PARDON

Once Chump is installed.

[boonecreek]

30. Nope, it's a state charge,

Alvin Bragg is the prosecutor.

5. C'mon leprosy, work your magic

And quickly!

[Ocelot II]

27. Leprosy is much too slow and easily treated.

[Blue Owl]

46. ....

6. Also from Bannon's speech: "Lock them up and throw away the key"

"Should the media ... be included in the vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump and his followers. Should Andrew Weissmann on MSNBC and Rachel Maddow and all of them. We want all your emails, all your text messages, everything you did. You colluded in a conspiracy with Merrick Garland, Matthew Colangelo, Lisa Monaco, and Jack Smith. ... Lock them up and throw away the key."

[Initech]

9. The vast criminal conspiracy? Like independent thought?

Fuck Trump - he should be rotting in prison along with Bannon and the other MAGA psychos like Marjorie Shit For Brains.

[DeeDeeNY]

11. That is where they should be and yet somehow they will now be the ones in charge.

It defies logic that Mr. 34 Felonies could win the election. But this is where we are. A total nightmare.

[Initech]

14. And unlike the last time, they're primed and ready to unleash their full asshole and middle finger on America.

Particularly - the people who don't support this murderous cult. Enjoy the calm now, because we are going to be royally screwed in January.

[Walleye]

22. Well, he knows a little something about being locked up

[Victory at Yorktown]

7. I'm OK with that - TSF vs. Obama (NT)

[Initech]

8. Fucking HELL NO!!!!

The United States is not a fascist dictatorship, and Trump isn't a dictator. Fuck that guy, if there is a hell, may he rot in it.

[Sundance1220]

10. I'm going to focus on the stuff

that can actually happen rather than the BS bannon throws out there to flood the zone with shit. Depraved donnie can't serve a third term and it's a waste of energy to get upset about whatever nonsense bannon comes up with.

[gab13by13]

12. Not to worry

Dick Durbin will have abolished the Electoral college by then.

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. There is no "loophole"

Trump’s term as president ends no later than January 20, 2029.

Period.

[DeeDeeNY]

17. Remember this is the group that tried installing fake electors in 2020

And all who showed moral backbone in 2020 have since been removed from their posts.

[Fiendish Thingy]

32. Walk me through how Trump gets a third term

“He decrees himself dictator for life” isn’t a third term, it’s a coup, and would collapse both the US and world economy, if somehow it succeeded (likely only with the support of the military.

More likely, any such attempt would result in Hegseth, Patel, etc. getting shot in the face by a military duty bound to follow only lawful orders.

A true third term would require Trump being placed on the ballot, at age 82, in all 50 states. There would be numerous court challenges, and if this SCOTUS were to rule Trump was allowed to run and serve again, they would be saying, in essence, “the black letter law of the constitution is meaningless, and we are powerless”.

Alito and Thomas might go along with that scenario, but I don’t see Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett voluntarily ending their careers and giving up their powers to one man- they haven’t been willing to do so before (the immunity ruling is not the same as ruling a limit of two terms is in fact not a limit of two terms).

Trump’s presidency will end no later than January 20, 2029. JD’s tech bro overlords have other plans in mind, and they don’t include Trump.

[PortTack]

37. Nailed it!

[B.See]

48. Exactly DeeDee. And thirteen of those criminally charged

fake electors are now real electors.

13 accused of being 'fake electors' cast Electoral College votes for Trump

Let's stop underestimating what these bstrds can do, will try to do, and how low they will go.

Third term impossible? I doubt they'll stop there. They're changing the rules as we speak.

But then, we warned of this as well.

[A HERETIC I AM]

15. If there was ever a cartoon villan that deserved having a piano dropped on him....

it's Steve Fucking Bannon. Useless fascist piece of shit.

Please, PLEASE let this happen;

[SunImp]

44. Add Roger Stone, Rupert Murdock, Alex Jones, musk, Jordan Peterson, that PUA asshole

[A HERETIC I AM]

47. Oh, I agree. The list is very long indeed.

Stephen Miller, John McEntee Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, etc. etc.

[malaise]

19. Eff that

He’ll croak long before that

[allegorical oracle]

25. Viewed a documentary a few years ago that spanned Bannon's years from

Breitbart until he left his WH post. He's been covering Europe like a blanket, holding meetings with every RW nut he can find -- urging them all to support global authoritarian leadership.

He belongs in a rubber room, but appears to have made some frightening progress.

[J_William_Ryan]

28. "The United States is not a fascist dictatorship..."

Perhaps not now.

But in four years, who knows.

[muriel_volestrangler]

29. He's not "setting the stage"; he's bullshitting, in front of a bunch of dumb MAGAs, to get them to like him

Please do not give this conman publicity with terms like "setting the stage". He's running another con, and this is part of the set-up. He knows there are loads of idiots in that audience who will fantasize about this, and listen to his podcast, and make him money.

[Initech]

34. I'm so sick of this clickbait bullshit nonsense.

I saw an article the other day - "MATT GAETZ ANNOUNCED HIS NEXT MOVE - AND DEMOCRATS ARE PANICKING!!!".

No, nobody is panicking over your stupid cringy cult news network bullshit. Let's make that perfectly clear!

[Red Mountain]

31. Hear that Obama?

[William769]

38. trump will not survive his 2nd term.

No need to worry about a third trump term.

[GoodRaisin]

39. Knew this reasoning would be coming for another Trump term.

The dictator never plans to leave.

[B.See]

49. NO. He doesn't. And he's made that

abundantly clear. Told his devotees they'd never have to vote again.

[struggle4progress]

40. Always looks like a case where cirrhosis of the liver has run amuck

Always sounds like an epidemic of delirium tremens

[Figarosmom]

42. So is RFK

When he told the HHS to stop either the vaccine talk for the next 8 years.

[Karasu]

43. Gee. What a surprise. I always figured they'd try this if he somehow lives that long, but this is pretty overt.

“If Donald Trump is elected president in 2024, there is literally no predicting the future of representative democracy in America. The one thing we can be sure of, if past is prologue, is that there is no length to which he would not go to remain in power, including attempting to delay or cancel the 2028 election altogether. The man is a no-kidding existential menace to the republic.”

-Mac Stipanovich, former GOP consultant

[Blue_Tires]

45. If Donnie is going to be Julius Caesar

He'd do well to look up how Caesar ended...

I know Donnie's got a God complex, but he ain't invulnerable.
