Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we’re finally rid of him.

        I’m a transplant living in NET. Asheville is one of my favorite cities. It’s like a breathe of nearly fresh air whenever I get down there. Have you been to Firestorm? The coffee/book shop?

          AVL is great, if not worsening and getting outrageously expensive these days. TBH I don’t even live in Asheville proper anymore, I actually like not paying $2k per month for rent. I’ve got my eyes set on Detroit in the next year or two.

          Firestorm is the anarchist bookstore, no? I’ve not been but it’s been on my radar for years. Might have to check it out this weekend now that you’ve reminded me.

        Johnson City here!!! I do head to Asheville a decent amount. Especially after Helene (once I26 reopened) to give Downtown businesses some economic love.

    That would take a whole-ass new Constitutional Convention and require essentially unanimous agreement with every state in the union.

    This is simply the state of Tennessee dog whistling and begging their daddy Trump to give the state more welfare money.

    If you are a voter in Tennessee reading this, fuck yourself for allowing that shit stain senator into power, even if you didnt vote for him. Your state is full of disgraceful uneducated morons.

        Apologies. Tennessee is a fucking beautiful state with beautiful people. I take back what I said earlier; there’s a small number of loud shit stains representing a large group of diverse and amazing people.
