    “Though Trump didn’t specify what he was thanking Roberts for, it comes on the heels of a series of Supreme Court decisions that paved a path for Trump to seek another term in office with unchecked immunity.”

      To clarify for people, “another term” refers to his current term, not to a hypothetical third, as of yet.

      On the heels of, apparently meaning after a whole ass year. You’re going to give a lot of people heart attacks making it look like they approved a third term.

        The official acts ruling basically destroyed the processes to maybe convict him for January 6th, which could have precluded another term (another meaning his current, second term, another other than this first, nothing about a third term). I first thought they were saying another one beyond his current, then realized they were just talking about his second term

        It might have done nothing anyway in time, but that ruling certainly did the process no favors.
