TRUMP RETWEETS FALWELL'S CALL TO EXTEND HIS FIRST PRESIDENTIAL TERM BY 2 YEARS: 'TIME STOLEN BY THIS CORRUPT FAILED COUP'
BY CHRISTINA ZHAO ON 5/5/19 AT 8:08 PM EDT
President Donald Trump on Sunday retweeted Liberty University President Jerry Falwells post, calling for the first term of his presidency to be extended by two years as pay back for time stolen by this corrupt failed coup.
"After the best week ever for @realDonaldTrump - no obstruction, no collusion, NYT admits @BarackObama did spy on his campaign, & the economy is soaring. I now support reparations-Trump should have 2 yrs added to his 1st term as pay back for time stolen by this corrupt failed coup," Falwell a longtime Trump supporter tweeted on Saturday, apparently in reference to the controversies surrounding special counsel Robert Muellers report on possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
. . .
Trump then posted two tweets later that evening touting his successes in office and claiming that Democrats have stolen two years of his presidency with collusion allegations that we will never be able to get back.
Despite the tremendous success that I have had as President, including perhaps the greatest ECONOMY and most successful first two years of any President in history, they have stollen [sic] two years of my (our) Presidency (Collusion Delusion) that we will never be able to get back, the president tweeted.

(1,279 posts)The statute of limitations is tolled if a person can not be arrested in such cases where he or she leaves the country and cannot be extradited. Since the president cannot be tried for a crime simply because he or she is president, the courts may find that this would be similar enough to start the statute of limitation once he or she (would someone please come up for a singular pronoun that means he or she) leaves the office.

(4,673 posts)first Obama needs to serve the 8 years that he lost due to total obstructionism, and the judicial openings the Repubs stole need to be returned.
Then, we need a 2016 re-do with paper ballots to ascertain who stole what from whom.

(2,270 posts)Thoughts exactly! First thing that popped into my head when I first saw this warning/foreshadowing of what our future is going to look like. Yes, I'm very worried that this may indeed become a fact and for more than "2 years" too.

(6,831 posts)Dear President Obama -- we've decided that you were screwed out of your presidency by Bitch McConnjob and the Birther Bullshitters.
Please report immediately to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave with Michelle, the girls, the dogs. And Mama Robinson.
You've got a lot of work to do, Sir. Let us know what we can do to help.
Love,
America.
Well, if we're going to start giving redoes, then Bill Clinton probably has another eight years coming to him first, before Trump gets any consideration, am I right? I'm sure the repubes would be just a-ok with that.

(14,574 posts)Indeed. Two terms is fine.
For the next president, that is.
For Trump - one term is stretching it, followed by prison.

(5,275 posts)The next 2 years or so will determine where we go. Scary.
As far as I can recall we are at a crossroad. If we win back the Presidency we had better win by a lot or Donnie will challenge it and refuse to leave.
It is not just crazy Donnie.....the righties want to privatize everything, they want to kill the legacy of FDRs New Deal.
