He’ll be replaced before that.
The plan seems to be that the Project 2025 people will use the 25th to declare him unfit for office in time so that they can hijack the midterm elections. The last thing they want is for those to be free and fair.
And they might not even bother with holding elections in 2028. That means continuing with Vance, unless he gets ideas above his station and isn’t an obedient figurehead.
There is no way for elections to be canceled in the United States either legally or practically. All elections are administered individually by the states and the executive has no hand in the process. Congress does have very very limited power to regulate elections, but in order to pass any such regulations which might alter the outcome of the elections they would need 60 votes in the senate which they do not have.
You assume that they will play nice based on the current state of affairs?
do you think we the people will play fair if they fuck around like that
Probably yes. Current events seem to indicate that “we the people” are a mass of mouth breathing morons who will believe any garbage posted on social media. “We the people” elected Trump, despite ample evidence that he is unfit to hold public office. I have zero faith or respect for “we the people”.
Dear Eric, my word, you’ve hit the nail right on it’s head. Truer words like yours, had never been spoken.
exactly my thinking.
Sorry, but you spelt it out , “ we the people”.voted Him.in – For him a 2nd time!!!!, but your /system.as I keep harping , is NOT democratic!!! In a functioning democracy every adult of voting age gets ONE vote, that’s it. .
Hundreds of thousands of legitimate voters did not GET that one vote, due to gerrymandering, bomb threats to polling places, squads of goons harassing voters while in line, so-called “voter monitors” arbitrarily pointing fingers at voters, saying they “look suspicious.”
Closing polling stations early, burning ballot collection boxes, and incorrectly purging voters from the records without warning them that their vote was stolen unless they re-register. Most didn’t find out until after election day. This is all the bullshit you MAGAts hid behind the “voter ID laws” you claimed were perfectly reasonable.
💯
But you forgot the at least 1 million provisional ballots that were not counted in swing states for nefarious reasons. Of course, most of them in Democratic leaning districts. The election 2024 was stolen, by Republicans.
And if if he had not won he’d be still fighting that “it was stolen from him” like he did fro 2020.
Thanks to muskrat & starlink!
isn’t FREE SPEECH Great?!?
Good good you people are so funny.
Seriously ?
And that’s what happened in 2024 that’s what will happen in 2026 and that’s what’ll happen in 2028.
Sorry, I will repeat, your voting system is not really democratic! It’s a weighted system & having done some reading on how it ‘ supposedly ’ works, I don’t believe it’s democratic. Our current system ain’t perfect, but believe it’s better than what u have.
It’s not supposed to be democratic. It’s republican. This country is a constitutional republic.
I drive a truck not a motor vehicle… that’s what you we’re not a democracy, we’re a republic uneducated mf’ers sound like to the rest of us.
Quotation marks might make your comment a bit easier to understand.
We are a democratic republic!! At least we used to be before magats totally rigged the last election!
And what system from which country might that be.
Actually by 2028 the country will be deep into King trump. He won’t have an election. He is going to pull a Putin and declare himself the “permanent president”.
I wonder what his crown will look like? Tacky.
That’s because the USA is a Democratic Republic!
Not a true democracy!
That’s why!
You, the person, are exactly right.
No the Mass breathing morons are democrats that think they control everything and think things should always stay how they want it
Really?? It is not the Dem’s who sat at polling places to challenge voters and also to toss out mail in ballots for simple errors like not crossing a T or dotting an I. It is the GOP that has to gerrymander states to make sure they stay Red and toss legal voters from the rolls. No, your cult of Trump, the Mouth Breathers, are the ones who blindly follow him like Lemming’s headed to a cliff. He just crashed the economy ON PURPOSE, and bragged in the Oval about how he made his friends even richer during his tariff tirade! Give us a break!!
No ur friend biden crashed the economy there u go listening to the main stream media lmao. If u listened to anything trump ran on he said exactly how things would go at first but it woul get better. No u were to busy over there listening to kamala harris using campaign funds to pay celbs to come perform for her and enforce her.
Biden handed over an economy that was working to perfection. Trump destroyed it in a week.
Biden’s tax and spend mentality is precisely why Trump needs to do what he’s doing. You’re too simple to understand that printing money is foolish…and Biden doubled down on Obama’s Keynesian philosophy where you can spend your way out of debt. (Doesn’t make much sense, does it?) That’s because it’s pure drivel from a socialist. Trump is currently fixing the total lack of foreign policy under Biden, and repairing the economy by stopping the tax and spend mentality. Our government doesn’t have a revenue problem, (contrary to what the dems and media would have you believe), they’ve got a spending problem because all they do is throw money at problems. Something else we’d be foolish to do at a personal level.
Biden was a master at foreign policy! He had been either the Chair or Ranking member of the Foreign Relations Committee for many years. Every other leader in the world, knew and respected him.
The opposite was true with Dump. No one wanted to talk to him, in meetings he sat alone while all the others formed groups.
Dump is not repairing the economy, he almost tanked it to allow himself and other oligarchs to participate in Inside Trading, then bragged about it IN OUR OVAL OFFICE!
LMAO…you and and that fella Rachel Maddow have it all figured out, huh? STOP.BELIEVING.CONSPIRACY.THEORIES.
And your info comes from Fox and fools or other similar lying so called news outlets.
No, Eric, it doesn’t. I prefer to watch MSNBC as I find the constant lies and meltdowns hilarious. I get my news from allsides.com, where I can read one topic by left, right and center news agencies. You see, I’m actually informed, not indoctrinated like you so clearly are.
It’s not a theory when it’s provable fact. You watch too much Fux.
OK, prove it. Gauntlet dropped.
you are 100% CORRECT!
You are backing the wong guy
Thank you, Susan! At last a sane voice amid the…
Trump added 7.8 trillion in 4 years,the most of any president and accomplished not a damn thing but a tax cut to the rich. Charge us 250 million to golf at his resort. Caused over 1million to die needlessly because of his gross incompetence at handling the pandemic. Get real!!!!! Trump was and is the most incompetent president ever. The wannabe dictator should be in jail.
You’re absolutely correct!!! Will these idiots listen to you? Me? Others who have brains? Not likely, because he, and his comrades, don’t have one single brain cell with which to understand reality.
Oh yeah? Trump’s “Big Beautful Bill” increases the deficit 4 Trillion Dollars, mostly by cutting taxes for the super rich. Great job with that responsible spending! Oh snd the millions of nkt billions he is paying ICE agents to round up immigrants, or frankly anyone he doesn’t like whose paperwork is slightly questionable, that is a great use of taxpayer money…
Not at all.
The CBO is compromised. They’re not taking into consideration the expansion of the economy thanks to the deals that are being done under the threat of tariffs. Also, you mean “illegal immigrants”, get it right.
Please tell me where I can find Trump talking about crashing the economy to make it better pre election
Elon made a post on X claiming as much. That’s probably what they mean. Elon Musk Says That If Trump Wins, He’ll Cause the Economy to Crash
Number one Trump has not crashed the economy the stock market has gone down but it has also gone back up. Number two he is working out a new trade deal with the rest of the world after world war II America accepted unfavorable terms so that countries could recover from world war II and would back Us in the Cold war it should have stopped a long time ago but it kept going.
Number one Trump has not crashed the economy the stock market has gone down
It was the worst drop since COVID. He crashed it, and he doesn’t have a global pandemic to hide behind this time.
but it has also gone back up.
Not to nearly where it was beforehand, and there’s no guarantee at all that it’ll stay there.
Number two he is working out a new trade deal with the rest of the world
Allegedly.
after world war II America accepted unfavorable terms so that countries could recover from world war II and would back Us in the Cold war it should have stopped a long time ago but it kept going.
Yeah, no, this isn’t true. Our position in global trade was extremely favorable to us in every way. This is all just a made-up excuse to get you to believe that he has a good reason to crash the economy.
And even if it were true, alienating all our allies at a breakneck pace and changing the terms of existing deals entirely on a whim is the worst way to get a better deal. They’ll just see us as unreliable and turn to other, less mercurial trading partners like China.
Play the game correctly or….you don’t get to play….dip shit…
Is playing the game “correctly” the reason for the failed coup attempt on January 6th?
Democrats gerrymander too and they do it just as much as Republicans.
Sorry to disagree. Plus, Democrats don’t engage in voter suppression and ballot purging. If not for all that, Harris would have won. Yet you people called it a “mandate” and a landslide. How absurd.
How Gerrymandering Tilts the 2024 Race for the House
WAY more!!!!! They wrote the book on how to use party funds for personal use.
Go watch msnbc sheep
There is ample evidence and proof that the Democrat party particularly Biden and the highest placed people at his DOJ colluded in an attempt to charge, arrest, jail, bankrupt and remove a major party nominee from a general election ballot. All before attempting to leverage his assassination.
That alone should disqualify every Democrat involved in that(and Republican) from holding office again and should give every American pause before ever voting for a Democrat again. Certainly any Democrat that was involved with the above.
Can you show us this evidence? Np, wait, better yet, can you give this evidence to the Democrat Party? They would LOVE to have something, ANYTHING to pin on the fat orange man. They keep digging and digging, but they can’t find anything.
you have a good point.
JUST ANOTHER SITUATION FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS A WHOLE TO DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. WE DON’T CARE.
Patriots
Well, “you the people” let it happen right now this minute.
All of your federal government institutions are being gutted right now. All figureheads are dangerous political arsonists and worse. The damage done right now will be felt for decades. all over the world.
So to answer your question: Yeah, nobody really has faith in “you the people” to stop your MAGA masters. Because you simply didn’t and still don’t.
Because there is no need to stop them. Trump is doing just fine. We are barely 3 months into the guys administration.
Just fine? It’s a fucking dumpster fire. The US is a joke now.
The dumpster fire has been started by the Democrat idiots. They love to stir up crap, but have no plans for the future.
I know you are but what am I?
That’s fair 😉😂
And don’t want to…..
Yes. Because you the people elected a convicted felon for president. By the way, he was convicted by an independent jury that was vetted and approved by his own lawyers! So, who’s to say…
THAT is absolutely not true….they had no choice in the matter….Lunatic Liberaljudge….Lunatic Liberal prosecutor….in a Lunatic Liberal state…
Lunatic Liberal Jury…..
The jury wasn’t vetted and approved by his loan lawyers. They ran out of strikes. The jury was completely comprised of Democrats.
That’s all been debunked unless you watch MSM.
I hate to say it but Americans seem awful lethargic when it comes to our democracy.
Because we don’t have a democracy. We have a republic. And it’s not going anywhere under Trump or anyone else.
Darlene AllenSemantics. A democratic republic
We don’t play baby games. We learned from our mistakes .
This is that world leaders think of the MORON
Total horseshit. All of those European leaders are pissed off the Trump‘s demanding that they pay their fair share of NATO fees. When Trump took over in 2017 only four countries out of 27 in NATO were paying their fair share. Only four!
And they did that because they knew they could get away with it. Finally, we had an American president who started bitching about it. And so now all of those European leaders had a choice to make, they go back home and they tell their people that either they’re gonna have to cut some benefits, or they’re gonna have to raise taxes.
Just two years ago, France was burning up with their yellow vest uprising. Where people were rioting and looting all across the country. And this was because of the fact that the French government was gonna have to raise their taxes and trim some of their benefits so that they could put some of their money towards the military to help the Ukrainians.
So of course they get all pissed off when they find out the free ride is over. That makes perfectly natural sense to me.
They know that he is a moron who is an active asset to his KGB handler Putin
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read all day. Putin makes a decision in 2012 that he wants to turn around and take the Donbas region of Ukraine and Crimea back.
He sends Dimitri Medvedev to tell Barack Obama that that’s what he’s going to do. Barack Obama gets caught on a hot mic telling Medvedev to tell Putin as follows: “Tell Vladimir, I will have more flexibility after my election.”
Flexibility to do what you might ask? The flexibility was to ignore Putin’s actions. It was the flexibility to not have to get involved in risk World War III. Obama knew that if Putin took such actions before the election of 2012, that the Hawks in our country would demand that he do something and take a very serious stand against it. A stand that might have even led to war.
So what happens? Putin wisely waits, Obama wins reelection, Putin gives it a little bit of time and then proceeds to annex Crimea and the Donbas region. What does the United States do about it? Not a fucking thing. Not one damn thing did Obama do nothing he and Brandon did absolutely nothing.
Fast-forward a couple of years and Trump becomes president. Now, if Trump was Putin‘s butt buddy as you liable always try to proclaim, then why wouldn’t Putin have gone into Ukraine when Trump was there? Because he would’ve been able to depend on his buddy to keep the US out of it, right? But instead, what did Donald Trump do? Trump sent the Ukrainians javelin missiles.
Everybody who knows anything about the Russian military and their tactics, knows that the Russians love to lead an invasion with their T-series tanks. When the defense department developed the javelin missile, it had one purpose in mind. Destroying Russian T-series tanks. The javelin missile has proved to be superior at this particular task.
So again, everybody knows that Putin wants Ukraine. He takes his first step when Obama was president. Then according to you liberals, Trump is supposed to be Putin‘s butt buddy. But yet, Putin never does anything in Ukraine for four years while Trump is president. He waits instead until Joe Brandon is president and then he invades Ukraine, knowing full well that Joe Brandon will never do anything.
That seems a hell of a lot more plausible to me, based on the irrefutable facts that are now a part of history.
That’s why Russia is not tariffed like any other country, and don’t say oh that’s because they have sanctions you can’t put tarrifs on a country that’s getting sanctions. Bullshit you most certainly can and you still do trade with them 1.5 billion a year currently. But it doesn’t have tariffs. Why because Trump and him are bum buddies that’s why.
Stinkweed with diapers.
You’re kidding right?
Does the bear shit in the woods 🪵?.
They already are disobeying the Supreme Court. Too late. Magats got their way…a dictator who thinks they are disposable. They are
Yeah! The blue hairs that don’t know which bathroom is theirs, that don’t know that men do not need tampons, that hate guns, don’t spank their shitty kids, and live murdering babies, will not tolerate it. They’ll scream at the sky
They already have, and you didn’t do shit
Exactly right
Republicans fuck around for many years and who protests? Nearly nobody.
Yes. You’ve ignored everything up until now.
We already let it go! Why expect any less next time around?
You’ve let it happen so far.
Assume who will play nice? Congressional Republicans? It doesn’t matter how nice or meanly they play. They don’t have a filibuster proof majority.
Pieter-Christiaan Voorwinden · 10mo
They also have zero regard for the law, and the Dems have shown zero will to meaningfully oppose them.
Rules only matter as long as they’re enforced.
Yes, rules matter, but only among people who believe in behaving honorably and believe in the Constitution.
A person, or a group that has no honor and doesn’t believe in the Constitution, will do whatever they believe is best only for them. Everyone else doesn’t count.
THATS CALLED MOB RULE.
And that’s what we’re currently witnessing. The whole world sees it except the co-conspirating Republicans in the House and Senate and the MAGA nuts, who are only able to follow the pablum Fox, OAN and Newsmax spoonfeed them.
No mob needed. Just a carefully designed coup called “Project 2025”
Exactly, mob rule, and the mobsters are the Republicans. The Orange Moron is their capo di tutti capi.
More like CULT rule
They are called Repugnants.
Or Rethuglicans.
I just call them maggots
Are you talking about Biden who was not president for four years???
Perhaps the democrats are just waiting for him to implode or self destruct?
Or maybe waiting for him to buy an ice cream so they can ask him what flavour he chose…. you people have serious mental health issues. You need to ignore the voices in your head.
“True I like.”
“You don’t know how much I hate that bird.”
“You don’t know how much I love that bird.”
“He’s too big for grandma.”
“Chickens are going to Hell.”
If we don’t vote, we will no longer be a democracy.
Perhaps the democrats are just waiting for him to implode or self destruct?
That’s Chuck Schumer’s and Hakeem Jeffries’ strategy: “There is nothing we can do. They have all the power, buh hu”.
Again who is this “they” i keep hearing about?
Pieter-Christiaan Voorwinden · 10mo
That would be the administration currently running roughshod over a plethora of laws without much more than stern words or resignations (followed by loyalist replacements) in their way.
When they’re already doing things they were never allowed to do and nobody stops them, what’s going to stop them from doing some more? Mere delays certainly won’t.
Its not about what’s allowed, it’s about what they have the means to do. They do not have any hand in administrating elections. They also have no means of coercing those who do administrate elections to comply with their wishes.
You seem to have forgotten that Trump to get access to the voting machines in a couple of states to hack them, and was only stopped by the DOJ. There were at least some lines Bill Barr would not cross, that is certainly not the case with Bondi. I have serious concerns with Bondi and Gabbert and Patel, and the possibility of Elon getting access to the voting machines.
Trump never tried to get a hold of any voting machines. Where do you come up with this bullshit?
Pieter-Christiaan Voorwinden · 10mo
And what means do those people have to make them respect the result of an election carried out now? We already saw what they tried on Jan 6, with the only difference that they weren’t nearly as entrenched or prepared as they are now.
They’ve already tried a coup, and the main lesson for Trump and his allies was that treason is no longer punished even when it fails.
never ceases to amuse me that people who should be minding their own business, picking tulips and cooing at windmills while sipping a Heineken or doing whatever Canada or Australia are known for, but they have plenty of time to worry about American politics while their own country is running roughshod over them. Clue, most Americans don’t really care what you all pious folks think. My guess is that the rest of the world is facing a point where you’re going to have to support your own selves without billions in handouts from my tax dollars. Get used to making it on your own, we’re kicking you all off the welfare line.
You so don’t get it!
True, but they’ve already demonstrated that they CAN influence elections. It was murder by a thousand cuts. Gerrymandering, other rezoning, arbitrary rejection of legitimate ballots, (especially their hated mail-in votes,) arbitrary rejection of ballots based on irrelevant “flaws” in the signatures, etc.
Goon squads at polling stations, “purging the voter rolls” with no justification for the cancellations, and neglecting to notify someone until it’s too late to re-register, exercising the new laws in many states that allow ONLY Republicans to simply point at someone, say they “look wrong,” and have their votes nullified.
All those darling little “Voter ID Laws” That they sold as a “reasonable concession,” had vicious crap like this buried in the bills. They actually passed a law that ONLY Republicans could do this impromptu random rejection of registered voters. This is all their childish way of getting back at us for the imagined stolen 2020 election!
Anyone not willing to risk anything to stop what is going to happen.
Okay, well again nobody has the ability to stop elections from happening. The state attorneys generals continue to fiercely oppose trump’s antics and remain committed to fair and free elections, and trump lacks any method to enforce any orders ro act otherwise.
The president has NO AUTHORITY to pass tariffs. That power rests solely with Congress. And yet here we are.
The president declares a national security threat and gains almost unlimited powers.
He IS a National Security Threat!
Does anybody remember this?
And THIS!
YAWN
It’s the truth and if his lawyers hadn’t thrown so many monkey wrenches in the trials against him, he would have been convicted for grave crimes: espionage, inciting an insurrection, the attempt to steal the election 2020 with fake electors in several states etc.
The president absolutely DOES have aithority to pass tarrifs. It was sceded by congress to the executive by section 201 of the trade act of 1974.
Sure and he is violating the trade agreement that he himself signed. It is up for review in 2026. But as it has been violated it is now null and void.
There will be no more discounts to our American friends. It will take a couple of years of infrastructure improvements to get our products to tidewater. But after that…
That’s neither here nor there. The point here is that trump wasn’t making up powers for himself, he actually does have the authority impose tarrifs. If he didn’t, no tarrifs would be implemented, no trade agreements would be violated, and any EOs claiming to impose tarrifs would amount to nothing more than an old man yelling at clouds.
Now I think you are finally coming around to who Trump really is!
“Just an old man yelling at clouds.” And changing the direction of Storms with a Sharpie and a map, to suit his lies and narrative.
You poor thing our products made here will cost 5 To 10 times more. This is an attempt to put more money in the pockets of rich Americans. At the expense of middle class and lower class Americans. Wake up !
Look who’s gobbled the class warfare from the dem teat! Stop listening to MSNBC…I watch them all day and all they do is spew nonsense.
It’s not so easy as you obviously think. Read this:Understanding Section 201 Safeguard InvestigationsSection 201, Trade Act of 1974 (Global Safeguard Investigations), Import Relief for Domestic Industries See list of recent global safeguard investigations. Under section 201, domestic industries seriously injured or threatened with serious injury by increased imports may petition the USITC for import relief. The USITC determines whether an article is being imported in such increased quantities that it is a substantial cause of serious injury, or threat thereof, to the U.S. industry producing an article like or directly competitive with the imported article. If the Commission makes an affirmative determination, it recommends to the President relief that would prevent or remedy the injury and facilitate industry adjustment to import competition. The President makes the final decision whether to provide relief and the amount of relief. Section 201 does not require a finding of an unfair trade practice, as do the antidumping and countervailing duty laws and section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. However, the injury requirement under section 201 is considered to be more difficult than those of the unfair trade statutes. Section 201 requires that the injury or threatened injury be “serious” and that the increased imports must be a “substantial cause” (important and not less than any other cause) of the serious injury or threat of serious injury. Criteria for import relief under section 201 are based on those in article XIX of the GATT, as further defined in the WTO Agreement on Safeguards. Article XIX of the GATT is sometimes referred to as the escape clause because it permits a country to “escape” temporarily from its obligations under the GATT with respect to a particular product when increased imports of that product are causing or are threatening to cause serious injury to domestic producers. Section 201 provides the legal framework under U.S. law for the President to invoke U.S. rights under article XIX. When : The USITC conducts an investigation under section 201 upon receipt of a petition from a trade association, firm, certified or recognized union, or group of workers which is representative of a domestic industry; upon receipt of a request from the President or the USTR; upon receipt of a resolution of the House Committee on Ways and Means or Senate Committee on Finance; or upon its own motion. Duration : The USITC generally must make its injury finding within 120 days (150 days in more complicated cases) of receipt of the petition, request, resolution, or institution on its own motion and must transmit its report to the President, together with any relief recommendations, within 180 days after receipt of the petition, request, resolution, or institution on its own motion. Finding : If the USITC finding is affirmative, it must recommend a remedy to the President, who determines what relief, if any, will be imposed. Such relief may be in the form of a tariff increase, quantitative restrictions, or orderly marketing agreements.

Wrong again, Chucky. Ever since 1974 the power to establish tariffs has lied solely with the president.
Ryan, again, Trump can declare martial law and stop ALL elections nationwide. Do yourself a favor and look it up.. that’s exactly what this azz🕳️ has in mind…
Listen to yourself 😂
No, he can’t.
States can hold all the elections they want but to what avail. President Vance (or should I say Thiel) will ignore the results. What are the states going to do and with what army?
They can ignore the result all they want, it doesn’t stop the process from going forward.
They have their own state national guards.
Well see…
Unless he declares a national emergency and then declares Marshall law. Elections will then be suspended until the ‘danger’ is past.
MARTIAL Law!
There has to be a national emergency in order to declare one. And I will tell you something right now, I have voted for Trump three times. He was just simply a better choice than the other two pieces of filth that the Democrats were running.
He gave us a conservative supreme court, which was why he got my vote in 2020.
But if he tried some nonsense like that, he would 1000% lose all of my support. I don’t wanna dictator. I just want to live in a socially conservative society. Where we know what a woman is and how to define it. Where men are men. And a society where men marry women and women marry men. Not any of this alphabet crap.
I believe that is what I stated. End of discussion.
Trump declares martial law. Elections are done. Kinda simple isn’t it?
exactly. This is all just a way to keep the Democrats stoked and energized. By saying all of this dumb shit.
of course he has authority to levy tariffs. If he didn’t have the authority, then none of this would be going on in the first place. Because any Democrat member of the House or the Senate would’ve run to that stupid ass Judge in DC and asked him to slap and injunction on the tariffs. Of course she has the power to do it. That’s why Democrats are trying to turn around now and get a law passed that prevents the president from doing it. Good luck with that by the way, cause he ain’t gonna sign it
Oh please do…remember, it’s not the dems who have the guns; and don’t think the military will intervene…they’re mostly conservative too.
The “Deep State” 😂🤣😂🤣🤡🤡
I KNOW RIGHT? LOOK WHAT ALL THESE REPUBLICANS DID !!!!!!!! IT’S LIKE THEY HAVE NO MORAL COMPASS OR INTEGRITY OR ARE JUST INSANE AND INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGED !!!!!!!!!!!🤡🤪💯👇
OOPS I MEANT DEMOCRATS MY BAD
Excellent, made my day
It seems to have escaped their notice that their last president was in the latter stages of dementia and the Democrats choice for the recent election was a cackling fool. Not hard to see why Trump pissed it
But what’s even more important about what you wrote is the fact that every leading Democrat in the country, in the US House, in the Senate, Democrat governors, they all told us that Biden had all of his faculties when he decided to run for reelection. They all went on TV on the various Sunday morning talk shows and swore to us that Biden was capable and that he was able. They all said things like: “I just saw the president and he’s in good form. He’s ready to go. He’s ready to tackle the countries problems etc. etc..”
How can we trust any political party when all of the officials of that party simply lie to us all day long?

J.C. Watts, Representative (R-Oklahoma), loud champion of “moral values.” Has out-of-wedlock children.
This list was made before Mark Foley, David Vitter or Larry Craig!
And which laws have the Republicans ignored? Not challenged, but ignored. Even the Great Orange Boogie Man has complied with every injunction handed down by federal court judges who have determined that they have the power to usurp the powers granted the president by Article II of the U. S. Constitution.
You want to talk about zero regards for the law even though Biden was told multiple times by the supreme Court he cannot cancel student loans he’s still tried to do it.
Right. Just as in 2020. Mail in ballots and voter drop boxes. That was a recipe for fraud.
Currently congress has zero power.We are under an imperial presidency despite muted murmurs of protest from SCOTUS.
Bingo. Dictators use executive orders, bypassing Congress.
TheNo1skinsfanHere is a list of executive orders by president since George Washington. With the exception of Teddy Roosevelt, who signed a bunch of executive orders, creating national parks, banning trusts, and naming things after William McKinley, who had been assassinated and that he took over for; you will see that generally it was democratic presidents who had the bulk of executive orders. I mean John F. Kennedy was only president for 2 1/2 years and he had more than 200 of them.
The Civil War was wasn’t legal either, it still happened.
Legality is nothing more than a ‘Gentlemen’s agreement’, it collapses as soon as one side decides it doesn’t have to play by some marks made on a paper.
Ryan NSo i said legal or practical. Not just legal. Trump has no way to enforce any design to cancel or rig elections.
I doubt that Project 2025 could or would do this because Trump is hugely popular among their core MAGA base. A lot of Trumpers would be pissed off, especially as Trump won’t go quietly. That would be totally out of character for that bundle of bottomless resentment to anyone who slights or questions him.
There’s a good chance the rising protest movements will make destruction of democratic elections not feasible, at least in “blue” and swing states, and the judges are also acting as a speed bump here as well. MAGA leaders might roll over them eventually but they’re a speed bump slowing down the drift to autocracy.
If reasonably normal elections take place in 2026, evidence is growing it will be disastrous for Republicans. In Pennsylvania state senate election just now a Democrat won by 580 votes in a district carried by Trump by 15 percentage points.
There are many congressional districts in states such as Iowa and Pennsylvania where the Republicans won by small margins. MAGA control over those states is not secure enough to ensure they can hold those districts. In Pennsylvania for example the state house has a Dem majority while state senate has Repub majority.
EDIT: I misread the question. Trump will have to be replace in 2028. He can no longer serve as president after that under the existing constitution.
The answer by Mats, which I was responding to, assumes they will try to replace him by the 2026 midterms. That I think is unlikely.
Hmmm. “Under the existing Constitution.” Keep in mind that the Constitution means exactly what five Justices says it means. “Black letter law” is now an illusion. We have seen that to be true in a number of Supreme Court decisions already. Alito considers it his sacred duty to “correct” all the foolishly incorrect interpretations of the Constitution that have been handed down over the past 200 years. And make no mistake, it’s the Alito Court. Roberts is just along for the ride.
Roberts and Barrett are showing great impatience with Trump rolling over the courts.
Lordy, I’m hoping you are right.
Yes they are and 47 also lashed out at four GOP’s such as Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins for wavering on his tariff plan. 47 accused the lawmakers of “playing with the lives of the American people” and aligning with “Radical Left Democrats and Drug Cartels.” If ANYONE is playing with the lives of the American people and the stock market it’s 47!!
They both have problem only with Trump not imperial presidency or Project 2025.
No, the constitution says what it says, not what 5 justices say.
Trump may disintegrate so completely that even his true believers may have to jump ship.
I wish that were true. But put yourself in the shoes of a true Trump believer…and the world is now falling apart. If I admit it’s Trump’s fault, all of my decisions have been wrong. That is painful. If I make it someone else’s fault, and fight them, I can rationalize it. Scary scenario, but a very likely one.
Brian BourqueExactly. A Trump voter admitting it’s Trump’s fault is admitting it’s their fault.
47’s administration is already collapsing and there are some GOP’s who are now not going along with 47’s tariffs. He is hurting a lot of supporters in his party and they will not sit quietly!!!
They WILL sit quietly, the will believe, as in cult-like belief, that it is all in service of a plan to make America better, and their suffering is to help America. They really are that dumb and sycophantic.
need tissues again???
You should really stop lying!
There is about as much chance of hard-core Trumplodytes becoming rational as there was for Hitlerjugend abandoning Adolph Hitler in 1945.
100% true. My mother and grandparents emigrated from Germany in the late 1920’s, leaving all other family behind. I know from letters sent by my grandmother’s sisters how the people of a nation can be so manipulated that they can’t think for themselves any longer. It is like a mass psychosis. Defeat in war ended it in Germany. I have no idea what will end it here.
But the hard core MAGAts are not more than 30% of Republicans. And the way Trump is destroying oor country is becoming so clear…they will not be enough to get him elected for a third term. Meanwhile, all across the country people are mad as Hell. They’re protesting everwhere all at once and they won’t stop. Trump is so embroiled in lawsuits all he is capable of is writing more egregious Exec. Orders which bring on more lawsuits. That will keep him busy until the Midterms and we can expect, since historically it’s been proven, that the party that is opposite of the President’s party will gain control. And his reign will be over.
They were always there and will be; it is similar to convincing someone to perform an act, which was the intent all along.
Yes but they are also the same people who elected him for a second term ,this level of idiocy is hard if not impossible to change.
Or he may just kick the KFC bucket. He’s been eating mostly McD and KFC for decades. His health has to be bad by now.
He does look VERY bad. Bruises on his hands lately are an indication of some sort of heart or circulatory problem. His actions, thinking, and language all show deterioration of his mind. I’d bet that a dirt nap is in his not-too-distant future.
Please! SOON!!!!!!!
I would love to hear what you had to say about Biden in the first six months of his administration. I bet you never said shit and that would make you full of shit.
got a Dr degree from Kamala Tech?
Honest question: When trump eventually dies, from whatever cause- will you fully believe that he is actually dead?
I don’t think so, because those people have been fully indoctrinated on every level, including spiritual. Many of them, in their psychotically-infused minds, actually believe that they are fighting for God. Many will go down with their cult leader, just like the cult followers did at Jonestown.
Sad state of the Union indeed! 🙁
