'That's nuts': Joe Rogan warns people will 'light NYC on fire' if Trump tries 3rd term bid

Rogan went on to observe that Ukraine's election had been canceled following Russia's invasion.

"Can't have an election while war's going on," he remarked.

"You did it in the Civil War," McCann said.

"Yeah, well, if we did [cancel the election] today, if we, if Trump said, hey, I have to stay president because we're at war, people would go [expletive] crazy," Rogan replied. "They would light New York City on fire. There's no chance. Oh, that's nuts."

"So you get what you're willing to tolerate as a country," McCann concluded.

...they floated the concept of an amendment re-write stating a president could not run for "THREE CONSECUTIVE TERMS," clearly designed to shut Obama out.

Constitutional Amendments take time. If they do fuck around they should find Obama. That would be good for the whole country. Obama could bring the Senate with him then we can arrest all these government criminals.

If Trump runs for a 3rd term, the fine people of NYC will ensure Trump tower goes up like a tariff on liberation day.

And I'll be there carrying a torch.

Get back to us when the Russians (or anyone else) actually invades our country like they did Ukraine, you fucking dimwit.

I am so fucking sick of these imbecilic assholes, I can't stand it anymore.

It's not that Ukraine is at war, it's that vast portions of it's citizens and territory are under foreign occupation, making a vote in those regions impossible. In the US Civil War, the South walked away. But if the South had occupied several Northern states, we might have faced this same problem.
