“Leaning Trump”
He should just stop doing interviews with these dumb motherfuckers. Like you could see Stephy really reaching deep on the tryhard to land the Big Question and pull down Mommy’s Special Journalist trophy. They’re going to keep grilling him on “hard questions” (lol) while an orange lardosaur soft genocides another 150,000+ and wipes healthcare during a global pandemic.

Regardless of how he answers it, every question on “court packing” should be assertively reframed as “supreme court reform”.
“Well George, I’m sure you know this, but the president doesn’t have the authority to just change the court. If congress passes a Supreme Court reform bill and sends it to my desk, I will certainly consider signing it.
Now let’s talk about all those court vacancies that President Obama was unable to fill…”

Great Tweet here because let’s see if there aren’t a thousand more ways to re-articulate the question. Like, if we had an armed robber on trial in the old west, these idiots would ask the robber–caught red-handed–if he confesses, and he’d shout FAKE NEWS. And instead of keying in on that, they’d follow by asking the sheriff if he plans to pack the banks with the stolen cash they recover. The only people afraid he might are fucking bank robbers.

Has any president ever willingly stepped down after one term? I feel like this is a long shot to actually happen.

I imagine in West Wing style fashion (never watched), he will realize he’s unfit for the job and pass the torch. That’s what they are talking about right?
This encapsulates my view of genuinely undecided voters (not the 99% who are voting for Trump but don’t tell anyone) in this election:

Lol u. If you have been following this map, you would know that California is a new addition to being blue, as we just got our ballots, and Florida darker than NY, CA, and TX is clearly not according to population density.

Also, like, if you’re given a button that can make Zombie Fred Rogers president right now, and you don’t mash it without asking any questions, you’re basically a monster.

Probably not.
In WW, the president pledges in his first run to be only a one-term president. But by the time the next election cycle comes around he decides he just has to run again instead of keeping his original promise. He runs again and crushes.
Lbj i think. May have been others.
he doesn’t pledge, he just promises his wife because he’s got secret MS.
My memory is fuzzy, so I’ll take your word for it, but I seem to recall it was more than just his wife he made that assurance to.
Calvin Coolidge chose not to run for a second full term. He had a partial term due to the death of Warren Harding and cited a lack of desire to be in Washington for ten years as a reason for not running again.
Chester Arthur technically didn’t step down, but he didn’t try very hard to get re-nominated because he didn’t want to be.
Rutherford B. Hayes and James K. Polk kept their campaign promises to only serve one term. James Buchanan also pledged to only serve one term, but it was obvious he had no chance to win if he chose to go back on that promise.

Nice. Do you just know stuff like this, or do you go look it up?
You also immediately got my anasazi gaffe - saying it was the Hopi.
Do you know anything about the Cochimi in Baja or Emperor Maximillian in Mexico? I need a fact checker for those.
