Great discussion on the closing messages of the Harris-Walz campaign - the debate about campaigning with Liz Cheney. Fascinating audio from 2020 Biden-2024 Non Voters in the focus group. Worth listening to if anyone is interested. Sarah and Jen have a pretty lively debate around post-hoc analysis.
A big reason for this is that Mormons don't drink alcohol or coffee, so many turn to sugar as their drink/addiction of choice. Not saying that this is in any way healthy or good, but Utah also has by far the lowest alcohol, coffee, and nicotine consumption/use of any place in the USA, so it's far from the unhealthiest state or place to live.

Oh 100%, as someone who grew up in the Mormon corridor it's wild to see how this has become so obvious with this whole new crop of sugar-infused businesses. Especially since I know damn well caffeine used to be a no-no and all the adults around me used to drink caffeine free Diet Coke, I guess the church leadership quietly decided to let the faithful go crazy with the caffeine as long as they keep hating gays and forking over that sweet investment capital.
But you're totally right as far as other vices go: the pluses of LDS fundamentalism I guess!
some Italian newspapers are saying that he may run as VP

President Trump told NBC News on Sunday that he was “not joking” about the possibility of seeking a third presidential term, suggesting that there were “methods” to circumvent the two-term limit enshrined in the Constitution.
One of Trump’s allies in the House, Representative Andy Ogles, a Republican of Tennessee, introduced a long-shot resolution to amend the Constitution to provide him with a pathway to a third term. Ogles argued that Trump needed more time to accomplish his agenda and reverse the policies of the Biden administration.
Amending the Constitution to get around the limit would be a very tall order. Swipe through to learn why and read more on the history of the 22nd Amendment at the link in bio. Photo by @nytmills

That also needs constitutional change.

Not that they've bothered with the constitution until now.

I mean it’ll be a miracle if he makes it to the end of THIS term without having a widowmaker, let alone live through another one, but I think God hates us and will keep torturing us with him.
He’ll start a war and say he can’t have an election during wartime.
(But he’ll hopefully be dead by then.)

He can't do this. The VP needs to be able to step in as president if the president dies or can no longer fulfill their duties. He's inelligible to do that. The rules are clear.
If you look at history, changing the constitution to maintain power after the initial term is step #1 on a dictator's playbook. It's how Putin started. And I think the writing is on the wall for the US to become an authoritarian regime.
I don't think I'm clever enough to join this to actually work on stuff, but how inspiring:

I'm not saying that we shouldn't take the third term discussion seriously, but it's clearly a desperate attempt to shift the conversation away from Signalgate, the Medicaid/Medicare cuts, and DOGE.
Worry about this after the midterms. Don't take the bait.
