Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
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!

Worse yet, I am afraid that Trump would die in office, then VP Donald Trump Jr would become President for 2 more terms, then by the time Eric is ready to takeover they will have already held the Constitutional Convention that turns the country into a benevolent Trump oligarchy, in which the title of "President" becomes hereditary, just as the Founders intended.
"Yes, yes. Carry on." - Samuel Alito
"My new TRUMP Motorcoach is really the talk of the town. Please don't call it an RV." - Clarence Thomas
"I've found some very strange lint in my navel." - John Roberts
"Hold my beer!" - Brett Kavanaugh
"Why are you forcing me to wear the handmaid's dress? I voted the right way!" -Justice Ofjesse
No no, she wants to wear the dress.
She'd be a Wife rather than a Handmaid, and that's where she wants to be.
"The handsmaid's look is really coming back in style." - Amy Coney Island
The only thing I disagree with is the use of the word benevolent
"Benevolent" being used in the same sense that China is a People's Republic, or NK is Democratic.
Well, they think they're beneveolent, at least with regard to the people who they feel deserve it.
He's already King of Trump Tower, and ofcourse "the bestest American", so by rights he IS king of America and will lead "his" people accordingly. "King Trumps President in power" and all that, so he now just needs to cement his family line in the role.
I'd find it immensely funny if he now already declared one of his family members as a running mate for VP position 😅
Already can hear the lame excuse: "it is needed now because they are the only ones to be trusted to do their job, for the better of the country" (Ofcourse it's convenient in the case ol' Donald is incapacitated for some reason, the one next in line cements the legacy for the century to come...)
