I'm not a constitutional scholar so take this with a grain of salt. There's a better than equal chance I'm totally off the mark. As far as I can tell there's actually no provision, either in the constitution or codified elsewhere in law, that prevents... basically anyone from running for President of the United States of America, as long as they're a native-born American citizen. The reason the 'insurrection' thing is such a big deal is because under what we're currently referring to casually as 'the insurrection act', a provision which was hastily thrown together after the Civil War to stop Confederate military and political leaders from being elected to office after the War, an 'insurrectionist' may not hold any office of government; this is why Trump's team has been arguing that President is not an 'office' of the United States. However, as far as I can tell, there is no de jure prohibition on running for President as long as you meet the basic condition of being a native-born American Citizen, as the founding fathers naively presumed that anyone elected President would be a man of merit, integrity, and competence, and that this (or its lack thereof) would be obvious to the voters. There are de facto prohibitions on running for President, like the billions needed to fund a Presidential campaign, but very few de jure prohibitions. This probably has some rabbit holes to go down regarding things like whether a convicted and incarcerated felon has the right to run for office, and whether the necessity to engage in a campaign without interference would override a court-imposed jail sentence, but that's way out of my pay grade in terms of my understanding what America is pleased to call its legal and political systems.

I wish the old jokes about President Biden would stop. I don't know many men his age who can still ride a bike outdoors. He's doing great. I wish we'd remember the good Acts that are now law in this country that he and the democrats (and yes some republicans) passed for the PEOPLE of this great country. Let's get 4 more years! Vote Blue for me & you!!!

[@TMercan31]

Agree 💯 Seth had stopped doing the old thing for awhile but maybe he feels like he needs to jump on the bandwagon because he was off for two weeks? I wish they all would do more of the dark Brandon and start hyping up what a bad ass Kamala is - remember her during the Kavanagh hearings? If anything happens to Biden she's the one that would take over so they need to see strength there too. They need to start pushing that narrative hard or there is gonna be a problem for the whole world.

[@gmun2248]

I kind of agree, but also remember it's a comedy show & that's pretty much the only thing they can find to make jokes about. Remember when we all wished the president of the US was boring??!!

[@leohayward3853]

@@gmun2248 Dark Brandon has skin of steel. I doubt it really bothers him. In fact he's been using it. Look at how he reacted to that 'reporters question'. Mo Dak Brandon!

[@TMercan31]

@@gmun2248 Absolutely! I know that's the only thing they can joke about but when the other side is going with the narrative that he's a fossil with dementia that craps his pants on the daily maybe the writers need to joke about how boring of a president he is or try to make him cool instead of giving their stupid argument oxygen. If this were normal times sure, make all the old jokes in the world but this is the darkest timeline soooo...lol

[@obcl8569]

This was done tastefully & tactfully - nothing worse than a light joke some people might even make about their loved ones. I agree with you in general - especially because the waters ahead are so unpredictable & perilous - but I think this kind of ribbing is also about the fact that this show is a social commentary & always has been. Our memories of the pre Trump late night shows are so long gone that we don't remember how much crap these guys gave Obama (again, tastefully & tactfully) & every other POTUS since late night started. It's a fine line & I understand your impulse to say that - I think a big part of me agrees with you that even these jokes could be dangerous - but then a bigger part of me remembers that we should maintain the authenticity of our beloved institutions (and late night as far as I'm concerned is absolutely an institution) despite the temptation to become completely defined as the opposition - when the role of the institution in society remains necessary, social commentary as a whole should continue & ribbing on POTUS with some cheap shots here & there is part of late night canon lol.

[@publicuser2534]

@@gregbors8364Let’s put it into context…If trump did not pay off an adult film actress and hid it, she would have gone public after the 🐈 grabbing viral clip. He knew his campaign would not recover. We would have had Hilary as the first female president. One thing that might have been different: the response to COVID. Obama’’s pandemic response playbook would not have been scrapped. People would have had a lot more faith in the CDC. And, I truly believe, it would not have been so politicized. Less people would have died.

[@Therian13]

Doubt it. Judge was pretty passive and even admitted that he didn't want to detain Trump when he kept breaking his gag order. Plus GOP is already saying they will try to bring it to the Supreme Court, which is pretty pro-Trump, so it will probably be overturned or reduced to a fine or an insanely reduced sentence with time served. I will be very surprised if he ever spends a day in prison.

I don't know if that was a deep cut Simpsons joke, but Bart's catchphrase for the golden era of The Simpsons was "Ay Caramba!" People thinking it was "cowabunga" is an example of the Mandela effect. It was the similarity to Michelangelo's catchphrase in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which was airing at around the same time as the early seasons of The Simpsons.

For Corrections: Why is it that a felon can’t vote, but a felon can run for office?

[@meganm1074]

Because the Constitution. It sets out the disqualifications for the presidency, which are age, birth in US, & not being an insurrectionist. It doesn’t preclude felons. And SCOTUS decided that the insurrection provision should not apply. The solution is to elect pro-democracy people & pass a federal law that disqualifies felons.
