    The planet will have been dead 10 years prior to that.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      I thought you guys believed in an afterlife? SOMEONE has to be president!
      The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

        I believe in THE afterlife. There will be no need for presidents - you know this.

            I'll let you trivialize this by yourself.

              Because it's a bit early.

                Madam Dingbat thinks she can already run for president saying that the Constitution only places a presidential age limit on men. Of course the Constitution does not, as she claimed, say "he cannot run unless he’s 35," meaning it only restricts the age of men and not wimmenfolk, it says "any person"

                No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

                  I can managed that. I'll let you know when it is adequately trivialized.

                    Are you kidding? We already have campaigns going and 439 candidates that have filed! One of them apparently filed in 1996! And another infamously filed on January 20, 2017. Tell THEM it's too early

                      2020? I'm not likely to vote for anyone mainstream again.

                        Yeah well - she certainly wouldn't be the first constitutionally illiterate person to hold the office. Heck - we have one of THOSE now!

                          Define "mainstream."


                          Is this a reference to the pee-pee tapes?

                              I'll probably not vote for the nakedly immoral Donald Trump. And likewise, I'll probably not vote for whatever Cloud-Cuckoo-Lander the Democrats run. For minor parties, I'll probably not ever vote for anyone with repellent anti-labor politics (the majority of libertarians), and I'll never vote for anyone with even the slightest brimstone whiff of Dominionism reeking off of them (the majority of "Christian" parties).
