If they ever remove this ass from office, it will probably just be the final compromise to somehow still not release the epstein files.
Blah, blah, blah.
Just like last time, no one did anything and this time will be no different.
The blind allegiance to power is too strong.
The problem is the world became to reliant on one country. I hope this means it won’t happen again. But it well cause money consolidates.
Dude defunded NPR and they still bootlick nonstop. The indoctrination is deep.
Correct. Also permanent removal via 25th is actual harder than impeachment and removal because you will eventually need 2/3rds of each house of Congress. The 25th amendment is not a short circuit to impeachment.
What we need is Congress to signal to Trump a real, actual threat of impeachment. He would have to change course, and if he didn’t then he should be removed
So true, now undress yourself, get on all 4s and wait at the front door for you master.
What we need is the complete eradication of all government staff appointed by or associated with the Trump administration. Every Republican who voted with him, every Democrat who did the same.
Once that is done, a Manhattan Project sized initiative of judicial reprisal is enacted towards every single person who enabled the Trump administration. The Heritage Foundation is raided and staff is brought up on charges of insurrection. Fox News and the entirety of the right wing noise machine starts facing hard legal, financially devastating consequences for deliberately lying to the public. They, and all other news outlets are kept on a short leash until the heat death of the fucking universe. Corporate personhood is revoked, corporate lobbying is made illegal, and billionaires are taxed until they are brought to heel.
None of this will matter until the people responsible are fleeing for their lives.
Be careful hitting them too hard in the pockets as it could have pre-WW2 type economic effects amongst hundred of thousands of people who could get really violent and try to overthrow the government (again)
Just guillotine em and be done with it.
Couldn’t the newly raised tax revenue be used by the government to prop up the economy and mitigate the effects? I’m admittedly not particularly familiar with the effects you mention, nor how they came about.
It’s more so that the economic devastation of hyperinflation after WW1 created a very angry population, and that pushed a lot of people into the arms of the nazis.
My comment was more of a facetious take that the people should just put the wealthy elite 6 feet under, so we dont have to worry about them using their connections to get revenge.
You make a convincing point
Will never happen, the Republicans would have to admit all his executive orders are tainted. They kept Reagan’s dementia quiet for 2 years.
Regan wasn’t constantly posting on trump social and refusing to listen to his handlers.
Not saying that repubes will do anything but what they’ve already done, just that it’s much harder for them to keep the dimentiadon quiet than it was Regan.
We’ve been here before so many times. France is the only country with any mettle. The rest of Europe is going to wail about “not escalating things” and there will go Greenland, and effectively NATO, which is just what… huh which country wants that gone again? Surely not a country that has been shown to manipulate Trump.
Problem is that if it would get to war, trump and his loonies stay in power because of a ongoing war and crisis state. Not escalating things is very important to do.
However, that does not mean we can not support greenland if it would come to him invading. We just shouldnt push him to go there.
Also, if anything, its america that should fix america. Not the rest of the world
dude makes enemies everywhere. bonkers.
American democracy is a sham. Too many influencers and voters that are too easily influenced.
Just like every other country on the planet…
25th time someone says we should use the 25th amendment.
In the year 2525, if anyone’s left alive…
Paywall 👎
Just use anti-paywal filter in ublock or adguard or brave or adblock plus.
Ad Blocker
I use ad blocking dns and it doesn’t prevent paywalls.
Please consider including an archive or similar link with no paywall next time.
uBlock, dawg
Nah, non-paywalled links should be mandatory rule.
Sure, so nothing then. Got it. 🙄
Literally just:
- Load https://archive.in/
- paste url
- wait a moment
- copy archive.in url and put on Lemmy.
Anyone know why there is an https error on this link?
Yep, you shouldn’t post if you cannot provide a link that is accessible to everyone.
Take a look at the internet archive and other services that remove paywalls.
I’m not a lawyer, but anyone saying “it’s time for the 25th amendment” doesn’t know shit about the 25th amendment. Here’s the text of section 4, which is the part that allows the president to be
removed from officedisempowered (I guess technically he’d still hold the office, I already said I’m not a lawyer):Section 4.
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
If you’re illiterate or allergic to Constitution-speak, that means that the VP and a bunch of Cabinet members can get together and say “he can’t do the job, he’s not the President anymore”, but the President can just say “yes I can and yes I am” and it doesn’t count. If they really want to fight over it, it goes to Congress to decide, and if Congress wanted to get rid of Trump they would have already.
It’s not a viable option, and anyone telling you it is is badly misinformed at best.
Maybe… In 2027 👀
Who’s the next scapegoat puppet they have lined up?
How will transferring power to the JVance help?
He’s not demented. Trump is not planing beyond the next week. Soon he will start threatening countries will nukes and demanding payment directly to his personal bank account. Vance will be equally evil but you avoid the risk of him nuking someone in the middle of the night because of what he read on Truth Social.
No one gives a shit about Vance.
Yeah, that isn’t going to happen. The billionaires are getting exactly what they want. The Christians are getting a lot of what they want. They’re going to keep him in power for as long as possible.
Oh, yeah. There won’t be an election. Or if there is, the fix is in.
With a mortar launcher
Just post the archive link ffs
