Even if Obama were eligible, I doubt that we could convince him to do it again.

He seems way too happy with retirement to want to deal with the militant toddlers that sprung up after he left.

Imagine being alive from 2009 to 2017 and thinking to yourself "Wow, Obama did such a great job, I want that guy back here running things again."

God damn, I thought Randall Munroe was supposed to be smart.

I think it was more like the guy before him drug us into multiple, decades long wars - then the guy after him tried to overthrow our democracy and instill himself as president after losing an election. So having an 8 year break of semi-normalcy was refreshing.

Huh. "Elected twice", not "served two terms"... So, even if the insurrectionist ban doesn't pan out, Trump still has to concede that he lost the 2020 election to run again.

What the fuck would you poms know about it? Like in the cricket, Australia has you beat. You've had 6 since 2000, we've had 8.

I didn't know it was a competition as to whose government shit the bed worse. I guess making it one has to do with the inferiority complex you get from knowing all your ancestors were criminals.
