The article says "We now have a president who is already engaged in one military conflict, casually joking about starting another."
However, it's not just one military conflict - so far he's bombed eight countries & areas in a year : Somalia, Syria, Nigeria, Yemen, Venezuela, Iraq, Iran and the area of Palestine.
All without consultation or approval of Congress.
When he invaded Venezuela he had its President & his wife kidnapped and brought back to America.
President Trump is an evil, dangerous man - a warmonger - and Congress must stop him.
It’s the perfect time to float this insanity really. It’s prom/graduation season. Getting kids ready for college and celebrating their kids hard work. Or just working and picking up shifts to survive. Some sleeping in between job 1 & 2. We are overloaded and inundated with problem after problem, my privacy attacked, my money sucked up by a war I don’t support and didn’t ask for nor does it benefit me in anyway, ice on my left, high gas prices to my right, money for ballrooms, businesses and war but not for the diabetics or cancer ridden. People blame us for not fighting harder while actively buying tickets to the Olympics.
Americans can only disassociate at this point. No amount of intelligent discourse, screaming from the rooftops or protesting has cracked the tinfoil hatters and hearts 9 times too small crowd. This feels very bewitched - “there must be a solution! “No, there isn’t. We’re at the coffee bean, and there is no solution.”
Staying informed is exhausterwhelmulating. Sometimes I just wanna read smut and laugh at cats being scared by cucumbers.
I know everyone says "vote" but sometimes It doesn't feel like those changes will come soon enough. I can't wait to see who our choices will be this next time around. Buttigieg would be great. Wish we could get Al Franken back, too. Who else?
Wish I had some ideas! I also think Pete Buttigieg would be good. We really need someone who is fairly in the middle--mostly Democrat but enough conservatism(?) to appeal to at least "in-the-middle-of-the-road" republiCRAPS. We (Democrats) have GOT to be united. The far-left doesn't bother me, but it seems like they'd have to come more to the middle to get the majority--and to make this work.
Agree, but being in the middle does not mean halfway between moderate Democrats and MAGA, because currently the entire Republican party has been captured by MAGA. The people who voted for Trump wanted BOLD ideas and real hope for real change that will make their lives have hope again. We can do better than his lies, we can MAKE bold things happen, come 2029, IF we plan for the bold. Tell people not just vague promises, but a plan with a schedule to make it real.
As a start towards our goals, to reduce the damage Trump does every day, see my post on listing Trump's crimes...
I have heard the start of good ideas from Buttigieg, Newsom and Platner, and they each have some bold ideas.
I have heard the start of good ideas from Buttigieg, Newsom and Platner, each talking about planing for after Trump and talking in large, bold ideas. In the meantime, see my post, there is work to be done that gives hope.
I seriously thought i had seen where the House has voted over the weekend and had passed the 25th Amendment but felt that they'd never get it past the Senate.
Doubt it, but such a process, to be successful first needs to build the public will, so that enough of the Republican politicians will be motivated support it. Actually the 25th amendment would be MORE difficult to remove Trump than an impeachment. Hence my post on listing ALL his crimes etc...
This damn lunatic has been salivating to invade Cuba. Remember when he said that we could just take it? He is a criminal with a criminal mentality. If he wasn't so incompetent, we would be in worse trouble..
Yes, but THEY are not leading a cult. Trump is the Star. It is his name and picture everywhere. Miller gives most everyone the creeps, and while speaking with Trump's name to those in the administration, he does cause much evil, he otherwise has no real power.
After another one hour telephone call with Putin who knows what he's been advised to do? Invade and capture Cuba for the US to install a military base... then lending it to his Russian friend? Nothing seems too far fetched, ridiculous or preposterous anymore.
The outright lack of a response is a response itself. The band Rush (?) said"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice" That is exactly what is happening here. All this to distract from the epstein files. I really do expect the fanta menace to declare martial law in about 4 months and then we are really cooked.
No, it is then that the true test happens. Will our military follow the constitution and NOT obey illegal orders. Will the people stand up to those in the military who support the Insurrectionist (Trump)? Will the courts finally realize they went too far?
Not saying it will be easy, really important things rarely are.
We're smacked down and tired, fighting without winning takes it's toll! The government is tearing up everything. Our government is not, our government.
....and won't be until the Democrats have the majority in congress, the Senate, and the Oval Office. I'd say the Supreme Court, too, but that will take way too many years to change it back to a constitution-abiding one.
Unless we change the rules. We are overdue for a constitutional amendment.
You say, 'too hard to make it pass'? Simple strategy:
Use the power ruthlessly that SCOTUS has given POTUS, including ignoring the court which has lost credibility. USE the constitution where it clearly states that Judges / Justices serve on "Good Behaviour" and it is obvious to anyone reading the constitution that it does NOT require impeachments. We go in and remove all those who showed undue political bias, Practiced deception in their senate hearings, accepted bribes and in general showed they did not act in good faith. Then we appoint all their replacements (not with 'moderates'). THEN we propose an amendment which would take all politics out of our Judicial system (ask me for details, it is doable) and at the same time, remove all of the sitting judges on SCOTUS, 'to make it fair again'. The Red states will be eager to undo the damage done, for fear of "a Democrat infested high court" actually making decisions.
The challenge to taking it seriously, is because Trump isn’t a serious President… That doesn’t mean he doesn’t do immense damage, but it’s hard to know when to be alarmed; and the public has become numb to figuring out what Trump means exactly when he is babbling. This is a Trump specific problem, not a existential crisis for the US. Let’s focus on the next election, rather than being alarmed at every meandering of what is left of Trump‘s mind. Eyes on the prize! We need a new Congress.
How does such a “ busy energetic guy” like Trump (🤣🤣🤣🤭) have enough time to takeover golf courses and countries for new “ Rivieras” and sell all his MAGA merch- doesn’t he do ANY preseDENTING- I know a lot of it is spent napping and tweeting garbled ideas but🤷♀️ANYBODY COULD DO A BETTER JOB. LOSER
Trump is dying -- and Congress is on holiday. Trump is a mad man who is driven to win. He will take us all down, the entire world to win. But he will not win so he will continue to destroy every living thing on Earth and take the Earth down as well. We may be driven into the dark ages or obliterated, but I take comfort knowing that one way or the other the Earth and nature will forge a way and survive man's death spiral. Right now, we must focus only on the mid-terms. Turn away from all distractions. Volunteer at the polls and keep calling Congress -- break the phones. And donate as much as you can to the numerous campaigns across our country fighting to unseat MAGA. This is urgent. We need everyone involved every day until the mid-terms engaged in full press action to get this one over the line. And if it all works out nicely then we need to never, ever take our eye off the ball again. www.indivisible.com
BTW....249 nautical miles from west coast points of interest and a 1 hour 19 minute flight, from/or to.......wow/omg/dadgum...just looked at a map with Fl and Cuba on it.....
When will both chambers of Congress move to impeach the ORANGE ASSHOLE in the White House? According to the Constitution,they have a solemn duty to act as the "check and balance" to the Executive Branch when it goes too far! When they don't act,they should immediately be removed from office due to "DERELICTION OF DUTY" and others who will act should be put in their places!
1) Remote possibility as the election gets close that Republicans, in a lat ditch effort to reatin any respect, honor or even their jobs, will send the signal they will back an impeachment.
2) Better, but not great odds that Democrats will grow a brain and a spine and the ability to realize the people DEMAND Trump be removed, and put forth a better try (based on ALL of his crimes...), early in 2027. There are ways to do it, but no one seems to think it is possible anymore. This is no longer 2025, after Trump has left in disgrace...
3) Democrats do what they are currently saying they will do, and 'hold hearings' and 'investigate', ignoring the countless violations of the constitution and the laws, the bribes taken all in plain sight... and then likely try to craft the 'perfect case' with bulletproof evidence and intense legal arguments (designed to put people to sleep), an the Republicans do what they did before and ignore the evidence, ignore his guilt, and declare (because this all took too long) that it is too late, he will soon no longer be president) Even though it be a year away) or some other B.S. argument and simply vote no.
The people will be underwhelmed with the whole effort and confused why Democrats did not show the horror of his presidency, the chaos, the fear, all the things that upset them so much they gave the Democrats majorities in both houses of congress.

8647 there is NO WAY that regime should be able to throw out our democracy! Throw out SCOTUS AND START OVER
I’m surprised his pea-brain hasn’t thought of taking over Mexico to solve the “ border problem”!
He has...in his semi joking manner...which could be serious in a minute.
I'm surprised his pea-brain (love the term btw) hasn't thought of taking over NEW Mexico to solve the "border problem"

But that's just what they want us to do - disassociate, so they can do whatever they want.
Good word for how I feel. Thank you!
I totally agree with what you said. What do we do?
That's what I'd like to know!
I know everyone says "vote" but sometimes It doesn't feel like those changes will come soon enough. I can't wait to see who our choices will be this next time around. Buttigieg would be great. Wish we could get Al Franken back, too. Who else?

I have heard the start of good ideas from Buttigieg, Newsom and Platner, and they each have some bold ideas.
Agree although I don't like to with this one!!! I haven't heard of Platner. Does he have a website or something where I can learn about him, Douglas?
I have heard the start of good ideas from Buttigieg, Newsom and Platner, each talking about planing for after Trump and talking in large, bold ideas. In the meantime, see my post, there is work to be done that gives hope.
I would suggest everyone call your representative in congress put the pressure on them, to impeach all of them.
See my post. It isn't that hard, just takes a start.

This damn lunatic has been salivating to invade Cuba. Remember when he said that we could just take it? He is a criminal with a criminal mentality. If he wasn't so incompetent, we would be in worse trouble..
The problem is that he has a lot of people who are more intelligent than him, but just as evil, lurking in the background.
If Trump "8647'd" tomorrow, the likes of Stephen Miller, Thiel, etc. etc. would be charging forward with their twisted ideals.
Yes, but THEY are not leading a cult. Trump is the Star. It is his name and picture everywhere. Miller gives most everyone the creeps, and while speaking with Trump's name to those in the administration, he does cause much evil, he otherwise has no real power.

Cuba is mighty close to Mar-a-Lago. He might want to be careful what he wishes for.
I remember standing in front of my school watching for the bright light to flatten fort worth and melt me. The Cuban Crisis.
The daily onslaught is difficult to keep up with. We are not meant to tolerate this abuse of our psyches.
We're smacked down and tired, fighting without winning takes it's toll! The government is tearing up everything. Our government is not, our government.

Exactly! Never let fear control our actions, our choices. Never give up, Never surrender!
Low key troops wondering if there’s better food in Cuba 🤔
BTW....249 nautical miles from west coast points of interest and a 1 hour 19 minute flight, from/or to.......wow/omg/dadgum...just looked at a map with Fl and Cuba on it.....
WOW.......Were they to get help from other resources, how close is that to "mar", a lardo??
