This is plainly unfair. Indeed, there has long been support for axing the Twenty-second Amendment due to the artificial limits it places on voter choice. Many popular presidents have agreed. In 1985, the Washington Post reported that Ronald Reagan supported repealing the amendment, saying in private remarks that the lame-duck label being applied to his second term left him feeling āhandicapped.ā In 2016, Barack Obama told David Axelrod that he was sure he would have coasted to a third term if such a thing were permissible: āI am confident in this vision, because Iām confident that if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could have mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it.ā
Among many other things wrong with this article, Obama making an offhand remark like this in no way means he supported the idea.

Yea Iād say out of all the mainstream commentators heās probably the one thatās the most inquisitive. When I listen to him I find myself saying āwhat about Xā? and within a few minutes heāll answer it, and sometimes heāll pose questions I havenāt thought of. Heās centrist, sure, but he doesnāt seem to have a condescending attitude like a lot of New York Times columnists nor he just punch left as a default action like Yglesias.

He takes obvious GOP horseshit seriously and is hilariously uninformed about reality, for example like 3 straight podcasts on Dems nominating not Biden (which itself was based on him lapping up GOP bullshit about his age).

Permanently disqualified from the Marines? They wonāt even let him take the test again?

$8 for a diet coke kind of boggles my mind.
I think they were $5 at the Horseshoe when I was there.

Reminds me of this restaurant I just saw in England called ping pong that has a 15% charge that is basically, because we are who we are charge.
