… it’s just going to be, I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me.
Bitch, you are the encyclopedia britannica of reasons for a president to be impeached.
I bet you could make a kids book, A thru Z, on all the different reasons he should be impeached.
X is for xenophobia
“F” is for friends who do stuff togeth… oh, wait, no, it says here it’s actually for “Firebombing humanitarian zones.” …
E is for Epstein
I thought F had to do with kids?
Nope, F in this context requires consent, that one goes under “R”
Oh right … my bad.
Could also be ‘X-Ray’ referring to the various scans he’s gotten without releasing any of the results.
C is for corruption
I think ‘C for Crypto’ is better. He started his own coin and gave exclusive perks to people that bought it. He also legitimized crypto even further to the benefit of Don Jr’s company.
The entire book is about his corruption.
Probably even an adults book if you really try.
If “Impeached” was a TV series, he’s the Box Set.
If “impeached” were Hummels, he would be chubby pedophile boy.
And he wouldn’t be removed, just like both times before. Why does he care?

And convicted and hanged in the National Mall.
And left up there until he falls.
Wow fake news much!? He said he WON’T say “they” should cancel it. Then he repeated himself 5 or 6 times to make sure everyone got it. Even though he thinks “they” should cancel it, it’s not something he would say.
Just so we’re all on the same page. /s
Thats shockingly close to his actual language. Start at 1775 seconds in
Yep, he plays and twists positions he’s clearly promoting by prefacing with “how those crazy reporters would react” and it works. The media gulps it down, every time. Just look how every mainstream outlet is sanewashing this specific event.
It’s a self-eating snake now man.
The media is going to keep on keeping it up because Trump means ratings, and ratings mean money.
The media is going to keep on keeping it up because it’s all owned by fascist billionaires who are on Trump’s side.
It’s not just the ratings. They’d get plenty of ratings showing trump being arrested, on trial, going to jail, crying on camera, dying horribly; and same for all his conspirators.
The billionaires are the ones who benifit from trump, and they own the media.They’d make a lot more fucking money showing those things.
It’d be like the ending of WW2 in this bitch
But they’d only get those ratings the one time if he dies or goes to prison. If he lives and continues to be
dictatorpresident they can milk him indefinitelyWell he’ll probably die soon regardless (we can only hope). I think he’s racked enough criminal charges to keep the show going until he croaks.
This fucking idiot is just rambling about an autopen for a few minutes without a hint of irony that he himself is an autopen because his dementia riddled head doesn’t think. He literally said “now I just sign em all because it’s crazy”. It’s like 4 separate layers of irony.
What a fucking world.
I was super confused who is they
Probably the Steves (Miller and Bannon)
Fun fact, the word for this is “preterition,” which I learned in my Latin class.
“They’ll find a reason to impeach me.”
Like bc of all the crimes? I used to be about non-violence but it really does seem like the answer in specific cases.
I think there’s a quote out there like “violence is never the answer… until it is.” Something like that. Violence sucks, but everyone believes in its use. Whether that’s cops using it to “maintain order” or “terrorists” using it for political reasons (these are the same thing in my opinion) everyone agrees there are times where it’s needed. Every person will have a different limit, but I don’t believe there’s anyone out there who’s rational who actually believes it isn’t a tool that needs to be utilized at some point.
Guys, not sure if everyone gets it yet, so for those who need to catch up: There will not be any midterms. At least nothing meaningful, if they’re held at all. The right is gaslighting and the left is in denial. The right don’t want elections…they can only reduce their power.
David Frum said it best: “If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”. He’s right, and he would know.
They might try, butbim not so sure how well it would go. States control elections, so it would be individual red states (or more correctly, states run by republicans) who would “cancel elections”. But those are also the statea full of people who demonstrated they are willing to storm capitals over election shenbanigans (i truly belive most of the jan 6ers really were convinced that the election was stolen bless their hearts).
It was the MAGAts that stormed the capital because Trump told them to. If Daddy Trump tells them the elections need to be cancelled these people will be storming blue states that try to have elections.
If only blue states have elections then the Republicans can’t lose any seats.
There are red seats in blue states still. They only need a few to gain a majority.
Really though, the election doesn’t really matter until congress recognizes them. This is the real end point. They can just choose to not accept the new members. They already tested this recently and there was little pushback. They’ve proven the theory, at least for a short term and small scale. I don’t see any reason they wouldn’t try it when it actually matters.
It’s all about forcing a constitutional crisis. The States that do not have an election are going to claim that the mid term election was invalid. Forcing the issue to SCOTUS who will mostly likey say something about one state cancelling an election means the mid terms couldn’t happen.
John Roberts will make weak ass excuse about making sure democracy is protected. Clearance Thomas will get a new RV. Samuel Alito can take joy in being a facist prick. Brett Kavanaugh will get a case of beer. Amy Coney Barret will get solace that her christo-fascist state gets to happen. Neil Gorsuch gets to a be smug little fuckward.
Those January 6ers aren’t going to do anything, they were upset that the election was “stolen” from their guy. The January 6ers ain’t going to do shit just all those ammosexuals talking about how the 2nd amendement is about protecting the country from tyranny. All as it’s their own team doing it, all of them will find reasons to support it.
“Stuns?” This bitch was telegraphing this angle since day 1.
Since day like -500 by my count

This and the Greenland really need to be taken seriously. He just kidnapped a world leader and his wife(?).
Can something really be considered “jaw dropping” when anyone with 2 brain cells has assumed he was going to attempt something like this since he literally said on stage over a year ago, you won’t ever have to vote again?
At this point, I would say it would be “jaw dropping” for him to just follow the rule of law.
We all know his goal is to destroy the U.S. (as well as any part of the globe they can seize) and the entire system of government on behalf of his handlers and their corporate interests, right? Surely by now, nobody could still believe that maybe this guy is just exceptionally bad at his job…
The entire point is to burn it all to the ground, and from there rebuild it in their own image. Realistically, who knows wtf will actually be rebuilt if anything, because if/when it all does finally come crumbling down, they will turn on each other to determine who will seize power and use their hoarded resources to force us to fight each other in a civil war(s) on their behalf.
Anyway, tldr, sorry to be that person, but this isn’t “jaw dropping.”
You should already have been impeached you rapist criminal pedophile. You should be in prison waiting for the firing squad.
Maybe he shouldn’t have committed so many impeachable offenses. Too late for that.
Anybody even the littlest bit surprised that he would say this sort of thing hasn’t been paying attention. Not a stunner at all.
Being shocked by something obvious to everyone else is the American superpower.
It’s not a nuclear option because it’s not even an option.
Trump owns the agencies, the national guard, the military and supreme court. All these parts of the power structure have been conditioned to do as he says. And we’ve already seen how he uses them illegally, even openly with ICE.
Trump doesn’t give a shit about the law, he will make some insane excuse and call martial law.
Trump has not been seriously resisted yet, how can you claim that Trump or Vance taking power is not an option?Well for one thing, elections are held by the states.
The federal government is above the states, if it’s federally declared illegal federal police can arrest anyone participating and planning to hold the election anyway. Just like FBI could arrest people for Cannabis even when a state had legalized it.
So he’s going to arrest 60,000,000-170,000,000 Americans in one day?
Nah.
He can either arrest his opponent or the administration can just ignore the results of whatever fractured election takes place.
He can ignore the results or arrest anyone but that just makes him a guy occupying the white house who is no longer the president. They could try their hand at a civil war (if the guns stay in line) but there’s no mechanic available to modify the constitution and give them legitimacy. At best they could depose state governments and put in their own people. But anybody with an army can claim the USA by that method.
I didn’t know Congress needed the president’s permission to exist
He wouldn’t need to. The ensuing chaos would be enough to declare martial law
So when the Red States comply and don’t have midterms Republicans don’t lose any seats.
That’s the even more neat part: their terms don’t have an auto-renew.
And criminals aren’t allowed on the ballot for presidential elections.
And the president can’t just start a war and invade another country without Congressional approval.
They don’t give a shit about the rules in place and will continue to ignore them because there continues to be zero consequences for doing so.
Trump will sign an executive order saying they continue to hold their seats until an election can be held (which of course it can’t).
Trump owns the agencies, the national guard, the military and supreme court.
Which is why the SC ruled in his favor and there are currently Marines and National Guard enforcing state laws in LA and Chicago.
Wasn’t he just ruled against and had to remove them all?
Yes, except in DC and places where it was nominally deployed by the governor

ding ding ding, there are no troops in those cities!
I will burn shit. No taxation without representation. Taking away my representation (no matter how much of a shitty sycophant my representative is) is the same as taking way my duties as a citizen to follow the law. If I still have to go to work, then the fucking country is running well enough to have an election.
Fuck yeah, this is the energy i want my politicians to have. You should run for something, i’d vote for you.
God I hope he dies soon.

They all want it more than anything. He’ll be a martyr, this will give them a justification to tighten the grip on power and finally complete the authoritarian transformation of the country.
It won’t work. First of all, most of America despises him, which means he’ll never be a martyr to them.
All that’s left are the most Sociopathic MAGAs, and they don’t care enough about anyone else to keep a torch burning for them. Even Charlie Kirk didn’t supply the Horst Weasel moment they were hoping for. He is already fading from memory, and influence. Much of that was driven by his widow’s own obvious naked, clawing ambition to fulfill her own psychopathic agenda using his name.
MAGAs don’t do martyrs well.
most of America despises him
Well, voting patterns don’t reflect that, which is a stark indicator that the guy is popular enough to be relevant for a cult.
Mr. Smallface Whateverthefuck was only known for having a face too small for his stupid head, and being owned by any college student that was allowed to talk for more than 15 seconds. Not the most martyr material, no matter how much JD’s sidepiece tried to milk it.
Orange turd will be a different story I presume, he has some kind of magical grip on all those idiots, and there is a lot of all those idiots.What voting patterns? They cheated in every election they’ve been in, stealing 2 out 3 elections. There are no trustworthy patterns.
All polls show that his approval rating is right around one third, and dropping. If they didn’t game the system through election system games and outright cheating and fraud, they’d never get elected.
They cheated in every election they’ve been in
Possibly, yeah. We don’t have enough data to say for sure, but possible. But they didn’t have Putin’s ballot stuffing power in any of those, so the numbers just couldn’t be big enough for it to matter here (even though due to insane American voting process they matter during elections).
244,666,890 people were able to vote in 2024 election. 75,019,230 voted against Trump, 77,303,568 voted for him, . Let’s be generous and say they somehow added a million votes and discount those. Let’s then discount another million for good measure, let’s say those were cheated from registering somehow. That leaves us with 167,647,660 people who saw the choice they had, and either actively wanted Trump to be a president, or decided that they don’t care either way and will be good with any outcome. Let’s say, half of those had change of heart. This leaves us with 80+ million people who are basically one social media post away from going full in into a cult.
Approval ratings mean jack shit, if the same people who just said that they don’t approve of him, then go and vote for him. Words mean jack shit, if actions show different.Naw, they definitely cheated in 2024, and it wasn’t even that hard. All they had to do was switch the votes in one race, in the 7 swing states. That’s how we ended up with MILLIONS of ballots with straight Democratic tickets, but with Trump at the top.
Who does that? Where are these voters? I’ve never spoken to one, I’ve never heard of one, I’ve never even seen one interviewed on TV. Further, these sorts of ballots were almost exclusively in the swing states. Why don’t they live anywhere else? If they are all so concentrated in a few states, it shouldn’t be hard to gather a panel of a dozen voters or so, and ask them about their votes. It seems like it could be an interesting news channel topic, even compelling, but nobody has bothered to find them, even though it should have been easy, there are MILLIONS of them.
Instead, the moment the race was over, DINO Bosses immediately declared the race “fair & square,” and moved into being smug and arrogant about demonstrating what a peaceful transfer of power looks like, as if MAGA cares.
Trump has cheated at literally everything in his entire life. He considers it his competitive advantage, because he knows many others won’t cross that line. He cheats even when he doesn’t have to, just because he’s sure it will give some sort of an advantage. He’s a cheater, it’s just who he is.
In 2024, he was facing the very real possibility, even likelihood, that he’d be going to prison for the rest of his life. He needed to win this election at any cost, and so did many of his friends. Despite that, the DINO Bosses decided, before looking at any evidence, that the one campaign that Trump absolutely needed to win to save his own freedom and fortune, was the ONE time in life that he DIDN’T cheat?
They can treat us like we’re stupid, but we don’t actually have to BE stupid.
It was one more DINO Boss betrayal. Schmuck Schumer and Jeffries have got to go.
None of that matters in this case. Tens of millions of people are his die hard fans by any estimation. That’s more than enough to start a proper religious cult and transform the country into a theocracy.
Someone needs a war to cancel elections. Central america posturing makes sense.
We don’t cancel elections in the US. Even for war. A full-scale invasion of the mainland might be enough to try it, but some piddling foreign “special military operation” isn’t going to cut it.
Yes but that’s based on precedent. The current administration gives zero fucks about precedent or logic or anything else. Any convenient excuse will work for them.
Its also based on who runs the elections: the states. The federal executive branch doesn’t hold power over them.
You’re counting on historical precedent to prevent bad actions from this regime? 🤔
You mean “we haven’t yet”
While I agree this is just step one. They are showing that law and precedent mean nothing if no one will do anything, and they will continue until that changes.
