Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

It's probably like this downfall scene, except with dementia and pants-shitting.

Trump has friends?
Trump has any sense of reality?
He had so many ways of consolidating his grasp on his realm without looking like a total buffoon. That alone gives me hope.

The only hope I have is a coup.
Impeachment isn't enough
His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered?
What plans? He's not even tried to do either one in even a meaningless, symbolic way.
I'm so fucking tired of the incessant sane-washing. Just constant gaslighting from all sides to make me feel crazy for freaking out about this shit. I'm sick of it

Who knew that hiring people based on how much they suck up to you would mean that everyone on your team (including yourself) is incompetent?

What are the chances of him being booted out via 25th Amendment in the next six months?
It might buy JD just enough time to prevent the Republicans being utterly wiped out in the mid-terms...
What are the chances of him being booted out via 25th Amendment in the next six months?
Almost nil. They don't have the votes unless the Dems are even more supine than they already are. If the VP and come cabinet members declare him unfit, Trump can oppose that by writing a letter saying that no, he's OK. Then it takes 2/3 majority in both houses to remove him. He'd have to be comatose or non-verbally gaga in order for the 25th to be triggered, at least according to the intent of the amendment.

Thing is, he's not doing anything. He's just riding the train. He doesn't understand or care about the stuff the people around him are doing. He believed them when they said it would make him beloved.
He's just an idiot snake oil salesman.
This is just how he is. He did the same in his first term. If you took away anger and resentment, he wouldn't have a lot else left in his life.
I also love how he ran as a reformer candidate, as if we didn't have 4 years of evidence of him accomplishing nothing of value for his voters. Social media and 24/7 news have given us all goldfish memories.
It breaks my brain that people voted for him to help the economy. Without even getting into how bad conservatives are for the economy, Trump's first term had crazy high inflation, job loss, and economic crashes. Why would his second term miraculously be the solution to fixing the problems he started?

"Friends": people who agree with whatever you say and laugh at you after the call?
That put a smile on my face, thanks :)
Let the fucker rage. Get that blood pressure up ... one can only hope for a heart attack.

The voices in his dementia-addled brain don't count as "friends".
"friends" 🤣
