Lemmy, what is your "I'm calling it now" prediction for the next 10 years? in c/[email protected]

I missed context on term limits and their timing with the war. I wasn't even that far off. I never said america was bad and I didn't lie towards making a prediction. As I welcomed your information.

But thanks for reminding me, never interact with the Internet.

I bet your kids call you captain_asshole

Last sentence being: "not the starting the war part"

I was referring exactly to Roosevelt and didn't realize the term limit for presidents didn't exist then.

Again, I specifically said that about not starting a war but holding office indefinitely while a war was ongoing. Don't know how to quote on mobile but, again, last sentence of original post.

Sorry just bad at words. And history apparently.

Ameriscum here. Trump starts a war to create plausibility for holding on to executive power past current term limits. Which has happened in American history. Not the starting part as an ends to a means though. I'm scared.

I'd buy that book. And perhaps J. Krishnamurti has been resurrected.
