131·3 months agoThe term “soccer” originated in the UK as a shortened slang for “assoc(iation) football”.
The US didn’t come up with that term, like almost everything else, they stole it from someone. Don’t blame the U.S. for the UKs habit of abbreviating stuff.

Humans have discovered we’re in captivity, and so we’ve stopped breeding.
You know this is an excerpt from a fiction story written by Terry Pratchett, right? This isn’t about a real person.
Genghis Khan would like a word. So would Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, and Hirohito. Those are just the ones I can name off the top of my head.

You realize that data comes from the same place, right?

You’re probably right. I’ll admit it’s a self selection bias because I’m old enough to have made up my mind not to associate with people that have fundamentally different beliefs than I do.

I’m just saying that before he’s removed there needs to be something official. A legal finding that he did indeed participate in insurrection.
Once that’s officially and legally established, then and only then, 14-3 should be invoked.
That’s already happened. There was a finding of fact that Trump participated in insurrection by state of Colorado.
That’s in part why this is the case the USSC has taken up. It is now established legal fact that Trump participated in insurrection, but 14-3 isn’t super clear that it pertains to POTUS, unlike the clarity for Senators and Representatives.
So there’s no question of guilt. That’s established. It’s now a question of applicability.

SSA retirement age should be the maximum age for a new term. If you hit 67 during a term, you cannot run for another.
SSA will likely be hesitant to shift that number at will, or risk drawing the ire of one of the largest voting blocks: retired persons.
