TOAST.That is an absurd take if you value democracy at all. Stability in leadership while being invaded is important, but if you are doing a good job and the public agrees with you, there should be no issue getting reelected.
How can you justify dissolving political parties and news outlets?
Don't know how their constitution works in Ukraine but if that happened in the US I know I would be very against it.

People need to check their history - many countries during war time suspend general elections. The UK did it during the early stages of both World Wars, and during WWII it was done 5 years in a row.
Furthermore, how do they expect those fighting on the front lines or occupied territory to vote?
Never mind the questions surrounding election integrity or protection.
It's funny that people seem to call Zelensky a dictator when he's offered to step down

SSteezle2024 Presidential Election thread- Trump Won in a decisive victory /thread.
Yet in nearly every current pole the majority of people disapprove of him and the job he’s doing. So you’re now the minority. Majority of the country have buyers remorse.
You know how they say people start to look like their pets or even look and talk like their spouses-- the same is true for Trump followers-- they just begin to sound exactly like him.
It was a great election, it was the best election, we won bigly the likes of which this country has never seen before, go to Ukraine, go and fight you coward, you're not appreciative, you care about your life more than a soldiers, you're a terrible person, everyone sees it, and everyone knows it, I like soldiers that don't get captured and I like countries that don't give up their nuclear weapons. I'm going to make Canada the 51st state and we're going to rename Poutine to Putin-- you'll have the most delicious Putin you've ever had under my administration. Buy my hats.

Are those the same polls that said he wasn't going to win the election?

It's a very American take because Franklin D. Roosevelt remained in office for four terms because of WW2. #knowyourhistory
Trump has now spent 35% of his presidency golfing and 20 million dollars (embezzling) taxpayer dollars into his own resorts.
Each time he golfs it costs an average of 3.4 million dollars. Thats well over a very conservative 35 jobs. Maybe we should cut golf no?
How about the 15 million to go to HALF of a superbowl? Or the multiple millions of dollars he spent to go to Daytona?
2 months. A conservative 40ish million dollars blown. Dont give me bullshit about saving money. at this spending rate he will spend nearly a billion dollars on not doing his job.
If he golfs as much as he did his first term, he will spend over a billion dollars of your taxpayer money, funneled straight into his own company.
35% of his presidency golfing? So he spends 8.5 hours 7 days a week on the golf course?
Might be the dumbest thing i'v ever heard.

Right… which in turn strengthens our enemies and makes us more vulnerable…was just thinking aloud about how that coincides with his expressed intent to serve more than two terms.
How else does he plan to do it? Just the ol’ refuse-to-leave coup?
Jemsi wouldn’t say trumps driving us into war he’s just eroding the relationships with our greatest allies
profa_212If you knew to read, that is from his first presidency, which is what I based the second calculations on.
If you played golf, you'd know there is no possible way hes played 8.5 hours of golf a day. In his shape it's not physically possible to play 36 holes every single day.
Try to come up with some real stats before you spew BS

What is this the most literal take of all time? I think if someone spends a day at Mar-a-lago golfing they chalk that up as a “day of golfing.” They dont mean 35% of every 24 hour block of time was literally spent swinging a club. For the love of Christ. It takes two seconds to google that he spent 12 of his first 30 days at Mar-a-lago and 9 of them were spent golfing. (40%/30%)
What are you arguing that his time spent sucking himself off in the clubhouse afterward is a tally for the “running the Country” column?
The entire point of the conversation is that every day spent at Mar-a-Lago costs the tax payers some 3+ million whether he’s literally golfing, talking about golfing, decoupaging pictures of other people golfing to balloons like a 5 year old… no one actually gives a shit how many minutes were actually spent actively golfing.

Sno.Air Force one, armored vehicles, motorcade and secret service I would imagine.
There is a reason Obama nearly always golfed at military installations that would not require these costs. Most namely Andrews AFB. Mere minutes outside of DC, requiring no af1 or extra security, overnight stays etc.
Air force 1 costs $180,000 per flight hour. Trump uses it like a personal chauffeur multiple days a week to Florida and back in order to golf and funnel millions of dollars of taxpayer money into his own resorts. He requires all SS etc to stay in his hotels, further funneling money into his pocket.
Carter sold his peanut farm because he didn't want to have conflicts of interest.
lol. You’re so predictable. *eyeroll* I knew you would say that. $24 is what they were asking for in this particular raffle fundraiser. Where’s your donation to the U.S. deficit?
profa_212telling someone to kill themselves is unhinged dude. What the fuck
No way this isnt a ban right? This is actually fucked up dude. If its not you probably need one dude jesus
If its someone first offense we'd just delete and warn, but that dude has been banned before for similar behavior and we do not condone that sort of bullshit on NS. Plenty of other ways to attempt to insult others, telling them to kill themselves is out of pocket.

He was elected to 4 terms if I remember correctly so pretty different. 22nd amendment didn't exist yet. Anyway we weren't occupied so not a great comparison anyway.
I get that holding a fair election during wartime would be difficult, more concerned about that on top of dissolving political parties and news outlets which I admittedly didn't look into much.
But believe me if a country invaded us between now and 2028 I would sure as shit want to have the election.

Well I think the issue is more about who can vote or not. How to do have a fair election if a portion of your country can’t get to the polls?
if Mexico invaded us and the southern states couldn’t vote is that really a fair election?

solid point here. I think a lot of eastern ukraine polling places are blown the fuck up.

Thanks a fuckin lot captain Buzzkill. now my wife knows that a round of golf doesn’t take 8.5 hours even for an 80 year old obese man. God dammit
