Full title: After severe 76% electricity price hikes due to AI data centers, Virginia requires firms to pay for all dedicated upstream electrical infrastructure — State regulators crack down, governor says move will save civilians ‘hundreds of millions of dollars’
“My groceries cost way more now, my gas has doubled, my electricity bill is through the roof, but gosh darn it if Trump goes for a third term in 2028 I’ll vote for him. Best president ever!”
Sooooooooo, we as a nation have ALREADY just given up that trump can and will run for a 3rd term? I always said he’ll try to force a loophole. So far he’s done nothing of the sort. No loophole has been established. There is from a legal standpoint no reason to think he can currently run for a 3rd term.
Yet all across the internet I keep seeing people talk about it like it’s inevitable. Like we’re just going to skip the two term limit, and just pretend he found the loophole, because otherwise he’ll drag us through some bullshit to get there. So now, rather than challange him at all, we as a society have already given up, 2 years before the election even happens. We’ve come to accept that laws and constitution mean nothing. Trump is just going to run for a 3rd term. That’s just how it is. Laws don’t matter. Government doesn’t matter.
And who exactly decided all this? I for one plan on repeatedly challenging his ability to run for a 3rd term.

Still 46% of the vote. Just because Virginia doesn’t split their electoral votes, like some states, that doesn’t let those people off the hook for being part of the problem.
Like customer calling why my insurance double? Have you seen the economy? Fucking clueless.
