🇺🇸 I'm surprised to see a republican #US president talking or joking about a third term. Wouldn't the necessary constitutional change directly challenge the #conservative principles of their voter base?

Isn't this something #democrats & #republicans would agree on? 🤷

I shed #TearsOfMirth 😂 at the sight of a sign that says "So Bad, Even the #Introverts Are Here!"

Other signs say:

"If you cut off MY #ReproductiveRights, can I cut off yours?" with woman wielding a pair od scissors 😂

And a poster that reads "Shame on #Trump #Musl #Republicans #Democrats" — Damn right! #ElectedDemocrats are behaving as if they were elected to support the #MAGA #DOGE agenda. #Schumer #Schiff #Fetterman, Go home!

I was born in 1975 and I'm getting really tired of living through these "once in a generation" crises.

Early 1980s Recession (1980 - 1095)
Black Monday (1987)
S&L crisis (1986 - 1995)
Early 1990s recession (1990 - 1991)
Dot-com bubble (2000 - 2002)
9/11 (2001)
2008 Financial Crisis (2008)
Great Recession (2007 - 20011) - which of course includes the energy crisis, the subprime mortgage crisis, housing market crash and correction, and automotive industry crisis
Black Monday: Part Deux (2011)
COVID Recession (2020 - ?)
#trump #tariffs (2025 - ?)

That's just the US crises, it doesn't even include the ones the US either caused in other countries or other countries managed to have without any assistance from us.

But of course #capitalism is *definitely* the best system out there and #republicans *definitely* are the party of fiscal conservatism...
