How the fuck is this bloated piece of shit still in charge. It's absolutely clear to anyone with half a brain cell that he is absolutely demented, yet nothing is done.

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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How the fuck is this bloated piece of shit still in charge.
Because 77 million pieces of shit voted for him, and 90 million bigger pieces of shit didn't care about democracy, so you get fascism.
Because the system loves this shit
'let's just see where this goes... we can always just walk away and bribe the next politicians if need be since we have more money' - corpo
Because the system was built by and built for sociopaths
Are you aware it hasn't even been one year? There's three more to go. How can anyone tolerate this? He needs to be removed.
Are we still pretending he'll leave at the end of his second term? He's a dictator for life. He launched an insurrection last time he had to leave. He won't leave that office while he's alive.
He won't leave that office while he's alive
That's an extreme solution, but if it's the only one, it's the one.
I'm not suggesting anything. His health is terrible. He's obviously on his way out.
Fairly sure that Republicans are willing to Weekend at Bernie's Trumpie and his declining health.
I can see Trump being removed if the oligarchs find a better puppet. The line must go up.
Reagan in his second term would forget what he said halfway through a sentence.
He's perfect. --Sociopathic Oligarchs...and Putin
Republican party is dead in the water without him. The Democrat's idea of appealing to his voters is somewhat right they're just too stupid to understand the cult of trump and that there's this entire left voting block they habe alienated.
White people. That's why. Lol
And I'm Captain Planet.
Quick, get SCOTUS to rule whether acting president of Venezuela is eligible for current president of US. We need an answer now before more countries get added.
The shit stains on the court would rubber stamp this like everything else.
It’s not illegal if he says it him acting within his presidential duties or some shit.
Point is they ALREADY rubber stamped this shit.
He's our 'acting' president, too...
Why are they using AI to clean his image? That image is so 10 years ago. Show him as is. Time is playing along with the regime now too.
I am the locallly sworn Mayor of the area I live. I don’t work directly with civil issues so much as barroom disputes & disagreements. I know where I lay politically (The Radical Middle). That is not of importance when breaking down happy hour arguments for stunted mentally grown adults that maintain the local economy. I tell you what there are fewer & fewer trump supporters than ever before in my area. I do believe some of our local 2A fellas are learning to tie their shoes by themselves. Somewhat proud in a minimalist way. Whatever. I still don’t really like ‘em but they are beginning to be angry towards the appropriate demographic. So, that’s kinda hopeful.
Are there fewer of them, or are they just shutting up about it because they're embarrassed
Yeah, probably has gotten to this level for a tiny fraction of humbleness to shut them up a little bit. Still racist misogynist Aholes that fortunately (for the rest of us) are just pretty quiet with the trump noise. I am at least grateful for that.
Juan Guaido in shambles.
Guaido walked so Trump could ran
Honestly, yeah. Let Trump rule Venezuela, and get someone else to govern the US. Sucks for Venezuelans, but what doesn't? And he can do a lot less damage there.
I think he has fantasies about being the absolute ruler there, sitting on top of an ocean of oil. Way better than the Saudis and their stupid desert. His is tropical, and bigger than Jeffrey's island. And as a Monarchy, he doesn't allow extradition to the United States.
I've heard recently that there's actually a good chance that ocean of oil was a lie to gain more influence in OPEC. But as long as it's a lie he can believe, I don't think Trump will mind.
MAGA is trying to convince us that the oil isn't the motivation, that there's not enough oil to care about, or it will be years before they can fix the infrastructure to get the oil, etc.
Meanwhile, they keep hijacking tankers full of oil, and China, Russia, Cuba, and others, have been buying tons of Venezuelan oil for years. Seems like there is plenty to steal.
Oh, there's absolutely oil. No doubt about that. It's the claim that Venezuela has the largest reserves in the world, that I'm doubting. But even if they had only a third of the claimed amount, they'd still have an enormous amount of oil.
If it's Trump's oil, it's the biggest oil deposit in the universe. He's probably convinced himself that it somehow drinks from the Saudi's milkshake, making his oil so much sweeter.
