The problem with waiting for them to crash and burn is that they may take our constitutional form of government with them. Our duty as citizens is to remove them before they get that far.
There is only one way to stop this madness. It is called Impeachment.
The Supreme Court in the aptly named case "Trump v United States" declared that the President is allowed to break the law when acting in his official capacity. They went on to specify that the people's only recourse is impeachment. Trying to fight every new assault in court won't stop the next one.
At this time, Democrats think impeachment is not possible because in order to convict, the cooperation of a small number of Republicans is necessary. But do not assume that this is impossible. Do Not Surrender In Advance. They're all politicians, and when pressure rises they react. Voters in red states are feeling the effects too -- perhaps even more, since they receive more federal benefits.
We need to begin the work of persuading Congress to impeach as soon as possible. Please see more information about this here
Get a majority of Democrats in the House and it will happen. It will never happen as long as there is a 1-vote GOP majority since they are all MAGA. (I wish I was wrong but I'm not)
Exactly!! You are spot on. We have to survive these first two years and pray the voters come to their senses. I am really concerned that too many voters are so uninformed and unconcerned that we may have a repeat of 2024!
The only problem with impeachment, even if enough Republicans in the house voted for it (at least three Rs), it takes a supra majority in the Senate to convict. That would mean that at the very least it would take 11 Republican senators to vote for conviction. Last time there were only three or four R senators that voted for conviction. Do you really think that that many Republican senators would vote for conviction?
That has already started. The same Democrat that proposed the other impeachments in his first term has already filed the bill for impeachment, but the problem is that Trump and his stooges control all three branch of government. The Democrats are fighting tooth and nail but the Republicans in Congress block everything and they refuse to buck Trump and Musk out of fear they will be primaried and lose their cushy jobs. Even if a lawsuit that might stop a lot of this bullshit reaches the Supreme Court will those dumb asses save the country or even follow the Constitution? I don't trust them at all!!
Trump appears increasingly confused. His speech is more jumbled and tangential. He doesn’t seem to fully grasp what Musk is doing. And yes, things are going to need to get very bad for Trump voters before they’ll get it. In the meantime, make sure you’re up to date on your vaccinations and keep paying attention to credible sources of information. Survive, resist, and ultimately prevail.
Every third grader knows that a whisper campaign is a mighty take down on the playground accomplished with very little effort. Stop referring to trump as president, and begin referring to musk as president musk. Simple, effective effort which trump can't handle.
Does "the president" know that most of both his and Musk's followers are critics who loathe them and watchdog news agencies? The number of followers, besides being a very adolescent way of thinking about anything, is not an indication of fandom.
They are peas in a pod, little rich whiners who never had to earn anything or experience any lack or struggle. They learned from their ruthless businessmen grifter white collar criminal fathers how the game is played and have done them proud. If not for their embracing their legacies this way, they would both be incels instead of baby daddy to countless raped women and wives. They think they are top gene material but they are actually the scum. Sad.
Spot on. Everything being done is to line up the removal of services and funds for the people that truly need it. But, until their SS check is not deposited or their Medicare is no longer. When schools close and you have to stay home from work to care for them. When cost of goods continue to increase and gas prices rise. Their job can no longer keep them. Until it hits them directly they will continue to bow to the will of their almighty Trump.
Trump is always intimidated by strength. Amoral Musk is aggressive and completely self serving. That’s what they have in common .. self interest only. They must be stopped. Deport Musk. He is a threat to America.
I do hope you are right. However, I wonder if this is all a ruse to privatize all our government services. We all know the failure of privatized medical care!!!! PRIVATE = PROFIT AND HIGHER PRICES/LESS SERVICE FOR THE PUBLIC!
I believe it is definitely a grab by billionaires to privatize ALL government services, even the military. Just keep a dictator as a figurehead to worship.
Trump's touched a tar baby. He’s stuck and he doesn’t have an undo button. This is the culmination of allowing so much money into elections. Now the money totally owns the candidate.
PACs (political action committees) Citizens United and over-powerful political parties (Primaries) have ruined American Democracy.
As have the electoral college and no punishment for cheating, like Gerrymandering and voter suppression, purging.
Judges ruled it illegal to pass out water bottles to voters in long lines, in black areas, after closing most poling stations. Not just allow anybody to do it, but ban it.
The US is screwed because people allow it to be.
The insane wealth gap is climbing daily. When parents can't feed their kids, why wouldn't they steal from you? I know I would.
The richest man in the world just convinced the dumbest, most powerful man to cut (cancel?) food and disaster aide to the absolutely poorest people on earth.
Yeah... I’m physically depressed about what these jerks are doing to USAID. The upshot, not to mention the suffering, the defunding of medical research and public health initiatives is that America is losing credibility all over the world. It’s a gift to China and Russia, gleeful about the opportunity to spread their sphere of influence. How do we get our respectability back? Trump, Musk and venal/cowardly Republicans have turned America into a political suicide machine. They're a cancer on the body politic. You know what we do to cancers, right?
Yes, he is afraid if he abandons the muskrat that he will loose the tit that put him in the White House. Trump is interested in milking the money for increasing his own wealth. I wonder how much grifting is going on under the radar while the muskrat holds everyone, who cares, attention.
I can only hope that you are correct. In the meantime, I’m very afraid. While republicans in congress sold their souls years ago, they still have the power. And while those of us who can read/think knew the felon’s stint would be disastrous, millions of maggots are out there and have NO IDEA what’s happening in our country.
PS. I turned to FOX to see how they’re spinning the GAZA story. NO MENTION OF GAZA! None! His MAGGOTS think the felon is working on lowering the price of eggs!
Of course he is. He owes him big time. He did fix the last election for him & Trump admitted it. We also know that he is worried about Musk taking power away from him because he said - when everyone started to refer to Musk as Pres. Musk - he can’t be president because he wasn’t born here. That fucking pea brain was already worried & afraid that his monster is going to overpower him!!!
All those fools who refused to vote and allowed this atrocity to take place. We will never forgive or forget. All those minorities and women who voted for him this time, shame on you all.
Our democracy has been sold down the river for a measly $250 million. I am so over the assholes who stayed home and didn’t vote. My refrigerator magnet says it best, “Bad people are elected by people who don’t vote!”
If only they would literally crash and burn. Sigh
If they are in a Tesla, it could happen.
Hahahahaha! 🎯

But then there is the Senate needed to vote for conviction.
Great point! Then we are back to square one! The only hope is that we can take back the house and senate.

MAGA will never get it, they’ll just keep accepting the lies Trump and the GOP are spoon feeding them.

He needs something more permanent than deportation. Like hanging by his heels from a gas station sign.

Trump gets off on the visual of being besties with the richest man in the world. That's all it's about.
I think we'll find that it's the lawyers who will save us.

Place the Wilye Coyote gif here…the one where the 2ton Anvil follows & hits him on his head.
The Democrats must take a page from the GOP and burn this goddamn administration to the ground. Do whatever they must to stop this criminal scumbag.
