they go thru the soft underbelly of mexico. And with that method, entrench mexico's economic interests with chinese manufacturers, and by indirection, give the CCP soft power over them.



Yeah. Well it's CCP or USA and as an outside observer I'm not sure which one is worse at the moment.


I have to give it to the CCP at least they're not Christians.


take comfort in the fact that with the USA, even the worst politicians gets removed from office after 2 consecutive terms.


You might be thinking of "POTUS" rather than "politician".

eg:

    Mitch McConnell, senior United States senator from Kentucky since 1985, the longest serving senator in his state's history. McConnell has been the leader of the Senate Republican Conference since 2007, including as majority leader from 2015 to 2021, making him the longest serving Senate party leader in U.S. history.
> after 2 consecutive terms.

Even for POTUS it's a two term, under ten year total limit, doesn't have to be consectutive terms.


Assuming the incumbent doesn't push through legislation to change that. Not sure how enshrined in constitution that is so can't comment on the feasibility of it.


I stand corrected - it is indeed only the POTUS that has a term limit.
