I see little more than wishful thinking here. The world is populated by cowards, and that’s especially true for the tRump regime. None among them will move to remove 45. He will leave power only in a zippered bag.

I believe we are very close to those in control giving Donald a choice. 1) announce you are leaving the office of President due to health concerns. Enjoy a big nationwide celebration of your contributions and then retire to Maralago to golf the rest of your life. Or, 2) endure the embarrassment of the 25th amendment before leaving in shame.

A bit like if the Nazis replaced Hitler with Martin Bohrman. Not necessarily an improvement, but at least a change.

Oh great…another jag off waiting in the wings. MIND YOU, Vancey will be a much more sinister and will undo our constitutional republic in a more regimented way. He is all for plantir to collect and keep data on every single American…from banking, voting, to even know information from the IRS…they already have all information from SS . HE IS THE TECH BOY’S DREAM BOY, and will let AI overrun our government and country. That means blue and white collar jobs down the road taking our jobs. Already,😳 according to one tech, who sounded the alarm, the AI robotics have the intelligence of a college student…much more than most Americans, I hate to say.

Or his Cambridge-educated wife wanted to spend their family holiday with the Chipping Norton set in the Cotswolds whose ranks include David Cameron and Jeremy Clarkson.

Ironically they’ll be amongst some wealthy Americans who have fled to the Cotswolds because of Trump.

Why don’t we work a deal with Trump? Look, he’s a disgusting human being, but I’m sure he can see the writing on the wall that MAGA is trying to get rid of him. So we give him an out and play to his ego; stop the lawsuits against the educational institutions, close Alligator Alcatraz and other detention centers, reverse some of his abhorrent policies. We might as well get something from him before he’s ousted.

Someone should tell the mythology professor that the 8 states with the highest percentage of Catholic voters are all blue. Just one of many things where this article takes a reasonably plausible narrative and then descends into idiocy.

Trumps base are evangelical Christians. Evangelicalism and Catholicism are 2 entirely different things. I also felt that the article didn’t quite hit the mark on this point. Biden was the first (openly practicing) Catholic president. The problem with the USA is that their founding principles are Christian based (in god we trust). They talk about separation of church and state but evangelicals are having none of that.

Have you ever heard of a cult-leader being replaced by another cult-leader? Not going to work.

This scares the shit out of me. We can’t let them manipulate the narrative. We. CAN’T. Trump is so guilty of so much and so are so many other rich white men. THIS. MUST. BE. STOPPED. So given that directive I am going to start exposing this extraordinary RAPE OF AMERICA.
