Damn man let the 2025 taxes get cold first

We need to normalize prosecuting members of a cabinet who hide the mental failings of a president to maintain their own positions and power.
This is the third administration in a row where the president should have been 25th'd on day one.
We need to set the example that it's unacceptable, and do inquiries and hearings, and resulting changes if/when we find evidence it was covered up.
It's been over a decades now, with both parties doing it for "their side". If we manage a progressive president next it's the perfect time to course correct.
If no one faces consequences, they'll keep doing it.
There are so many reasons to evoke the 25th, and very clear reasons for impeachment.
The 13 Articles:
Article I: War Power-Murder-Piracy
Article II: Militarization of Domestic Law Enforcement
Article III: Serial Unconstitutional Detentions and Deportations
Article IV: Retaliation Against Constitutionally Protected Speech or Association
Article V: Abuse of the Pardon Power - Sabotaging the Rule of Law
Article VI: Illegally Crippling or Defunding Programs to Protect Consumers, the Needy, Workers, and the Environment
Article VII: Usurpation of the Congressional Power of the Purse
Article VIII: Contempt of Congress - Secret Government
Article IX: Perverting Law Enforcement to Persecute Political Opponents and Benefit Friends
Article X: Suspending or Dispensing with Laws
Article XI: Flouting Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment
Article XII: Specious National Emergency - Foreign Terrorist Organization Declarations
Article XIII: Domestic and Foreign Emoluments Clauses
As you said, It's time to set an example.
Congress could do something if Congress could do anything.
Congress could do something if Congress ~~could~~ would do anything.
Do you have any idea how valuable insider trading info is? They have direct motivation to NOT do anything
if we could hold the parents of school shooters accountable like we did last month, we can definitely do this
You can't prove a cover-up for mental failings when that person is getting up in front of everyone and talking on a regular basis. You might think it's evil talk, you may even think it's nonsensical babbling most of the time, but a shitload of people don't think that. There are no consequences possible because this is an active choice, not a surprise outcome with a cover-up.
Just because a bunch of people are stupid enough not think his rankings are sane doesn’t make them so.
If half the country said 2+2=5 would they be right too?

The republicans are. It's completely the GOPs fault for all of this. Never forget they are all enabling Trump, they selected Trump, they supported him, they protect him, they profit off him, they use him, they have all the power they need to stop this shit and everyday choose not to.
The republicans are traitors and idiots and are solely responsible for Donald Trump.
Found on an Iranian Telegram:
"As for people betting "Trump" won't use nuclear weapons - they still don't get "Trump" isn't in charge of anything.
This is an all-or-nothing bid by the US to maintain primacy over the planet before losing it permanently.
The unelected US corporate-financier establishment - pushing for wars since the inception of America as a nation - have ALREADY USED NUCLEAR WEAPONS - TWICE!!!
They considered using them on Korea, Vietnam, and even as recently as Afghanistan.
DO NOT let the US pin this solely on a single politician, or an administration or a US proxy. Make sure EVERYONE involved is blamed and held accountable.
This is called compartmentalization - dividing up your political fronts when dirty work is required so you can flush the consequences down with one or more of these fronts while keeping the political whole more or less intact.
The US literally does this every 4-8 years with presidents and scores of wars of aggression and other horrible foreign and domestic policies - and they will do it with this time as well.
It wasn't "Clinton," "Bush," or "Obama's" wars (although they are accomplices and equally guilty) - they are Wall Street and Washington wars - every single one of them - no matter who is picked to sell them and take the fall for them.
If you never expose and hold Wall Street and Washington as a whole accountable, they will continue their compartmentalization game forever without end."
Correct: Statesian foreign policy has been fairly consistent. Internationally it matters less whether it's a republican or a democrat in the white house (the biggest change is how much funding USAID gets and where it goes. Everything else remains consistent. At least that's how it looks to me because I move in the nonprofit/NGO world) It's where we see the ratchet effect most clearly.
Trump is the festering boil caused by the US refusing to wash its fucking arse
lol
Yes, and no. Yes the GOP is pushing for all of this madness and obstructing any efforts to reign it in. But as much as it pains me to admit, most people in the US bear some culpability. In theory, if everyone old enough and well enough to do so unsupervised, traveled to their state capital or major city and basically flooded the streets with protesters, effectively halting all traffic and commerce, and refused to move until Trump was gone and the war was stopped, this shit would probably stop. Similarly, if everyone refused to work or spend any money, aside from the absolute bare minimum, this shit would stop. Of course there are a million reasons why this won’t happen. It weighs heavily on me that I’m still paying taxes and generally behaving despite the clear need for drastic action.
Putting this on the working poor is ridiculous. Most workers are not in a position to be as politically active as you want, or would be required. Just living requires all of our effort, especially after a decade of runaway inflation and job losses. Most of us under a relentless threat of poverty. Jeopardizing employment or income isn't feasible. Living minimalist lives isn't endurable.
That's like blaming the delivery driver when a gun sold at a store is used in a crime. Sure there's a casual chain, but it's not reasonable to place the blame there. MAGA elected these nuts, and the GOP and all its financial and political backers continue to enable and profit from them without regard to the consequences to others. We can debate how much blame to place where win the casual chain or argue who should have acted differently but the people with the gun in their hand who pulls the trigger is the most, and overwhelming, to blame.
Treasonous pieces of shit who need to be flushed down the drain with the rest of the administration.
And the only people who have that power, and will to do so, are preoccupied with working to survive.
I loved reading his definition of a war crime. It's basically describing himself at this point, a person sick of mind who is powerful and rich with nuclear weapons. No reasonable leader gets on a social media platform and sends, "Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah."
No reasonable president threatens to destroy an entire civilization.
It takes a sickness of the mind to justify hitting civilian targets just because they indirectly benefit the military.
last I heard they brokered a cease fire. this may be taco but for the first time I don't want to make fun of him for it.
Did Iran confirm this cause Trump says a lot of shit that's not true. Like most of it isn't true.

Oh wow, you're right.
2 week ceasefire with Hormuz open to traffic.
The apocalypse has been deferred for now it seems.
Is it Taco Tuesday or War Crimes Wednesday?
If only it were impeachment April.
Ralph Nader. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
Yeah, when i read that i wasn't sure if it was april fools or not. I mean, i'll vote for it regardless but like i'm not exactly in government or anything. i don't think my vote counts for this.
If you mail it into a blue state, they’ll count it 5 times /s
If neither, Nuclear Fallout Friday...
what is worrying is not that there are genocidal psychopaths' threatening to kill everyone as they control the riches country in the world. The really frightening part is that there seems to be a whole ecosystem designed to normalize and rationalize their actions. With the democrats, the media, European leadership. Everyone has been trying their hardest to look the other way for decades on all the inhumane killings these ghouls have been perpetrating. And now they can go masks off, no shame threaten to destroy whole countries. Kill thousands in gaza and Lebanon, and people come out of the woodwork to defend them or even rationalize their actions.

We made one of the dumbest, most evil people this country has ever produced the President—twice!—and this is the consequence. We're staring into the darkness, and on the other side of the void is a nuclear arsenal and a 79-year-old lunatic who has never made a wise decision in his life.

This hits the nail on the head.
I hate sitting and wondering “are we gonna eradicate an entire country and start a global conflict or is our leader just on paint fumes”
But I don’t have to hear Harris’ laugh though, right???? That’s worth this insanity???
But I don’t have to hear Harris’ laugh though
What does this mean? Who is this critiquing?
Early in Kamala Harris' campaign people were criticising the nervous laugh / cackle she did sometimes.
If only there was some way not to give him such power
Anyone in the Secret Service willing to pull a Jamie Lannister right about now? Please??
It's TACO Tuesday.
Trump always chickens out. No mistake Tuesday was the deadline. It's in his DNA from all the fried chicken he eats.
They're probably hanging up the black sheets in the war room at mar-a-lago right now.
Someone get Trump that white "USA" cap he likes to wear while bombing things.
Time to usurp your king America.
You think its now? Seems like it was quite awhile ago. No one's going to do it now if they haven't thus far.
