Barack Obama should take Kimmel, Colbert, O'Donnell, Stewart, and whoever else for a tour of the WH.

I assume past Presidents have access to conduct WH tours? Would be awesome television.

On edit. If Trump can run for a 3rd term, so can Obama.

I kinda doubt that. I bet GHWB had free roam when his son was fucking our lives up in 2001. The last 3 Republican Presidents have started wars in the ME. All got rich on oil.

he (Biden) was President... Maybe all the worst of the RW media world plus a few Proud Boys?

No. This would not happen without advanced permission (Trump would never grant such a thing to Obama).

Trump would love nothing more than an excuse to order the Secret Service to machine gun the whole lot of them as trespassers.

By the way, according to none other than Donald Trump himself. he is already into his third term. He keeps claiming that he won the 2020 election, and the wording of the 22nd Amendment says that no one shall be elected to more than two terms. The Constitution does not account for those who appear to have been elected, and yet were denied the chance to serve (e.c. Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, maybe Kamala Harris as well). By no means except for those on Hallucinogenic drugs did Donald Trump appear to have won in 2020, but if he says he did, then by his own definition, he now well into his third term.
