We are not going to put J.D. Vance or Maga kiss ass Johnson as president we should seriously bethinking about removing the entire republican party. They are actually traitors to there branch of government and also I think we need to remove all and I mean all corruption out of the government
Gregg, it has to start with Citizens United being overturned + his 2017 and 2025 Tax Cut legislation being repealed. The 2017 Tax Cuts caused - together - the rapid acceleration of uncapped money allowed by that S. Court decision AND the resulting AVARICE AND GREED of gallactical wealth! Stop it!Pam Bondi was awarded $500 Million, no competitive bidding and sole sourced to her - last year? When the contractor is Pam, address of the company is her home and she has no expertise in ... um ... "... enhancing of AI potential and future, stellar success of the Artificial ... some muckety muck scope of work to perform. She sat on upwards of 4000 wire transfers to and fro' just one Epstein bank account of $1.1 Billion. Think of the number of people. Add today's Jack Smith filing on Trump & Co.'s additional charges that Judge Chutkin published immediately-over 150 pages of detail the entire population gets to read now.
Not sure what you mean? Paul, wanted to hang Dr Fauci for Covid, now wants to play nice with the Venezuelan narco boat crew. Saying the US should have somehow stopped the boat and asked politely to hand over the drugs and weapons and be prosecuted in court. Hundreds of thousands of Americans died both by Covid and fentanyl. So he wants to punish an American hero and play nice to the drug world. No respect for Paul. No wonder his neighbor beat him up.
Well reasoned arguments, but I think you missed a couple of elements.
Trump has the power that he does, because the Congress, SCOTUS and Main Stream Media fear him and / or follow him out of greed. But the major power is the fear.
Trump is feared in large part due to his 'cult' following which have been conditioned to follow him. These people are not driven by policy, or philosophy, they are not focused on the wishes of the donor class and while money does help win elections, much more than money is needed.
Congressional Republicans know they are likely to end their career if they oppose Trump, and so they cling to their seat, following Trump's orders because they know his cult is strong enough and motivated enough to decide who wins the primary.
SCOTUS is afraid to confront Trump, not because he is 'president' but because they are bullied. Afraid to lay it all on the line. They are afraid to do their job, render a PROPER decision that would disable his presidency and provoke a reaction that would show they have no power.
Vance may well be completely corrupted and having embraced the dark side seek to do terrible things, but consider:
Trump has actively weakened the US through tariffs, Abandoning NATO and generally antagonizing the world while creating the 'Purge' on our streets... while siding with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. I do not see Vance being similarly motivated to obey Putin's desires.
Without the Cult, Vance will not have the same level of control over Congress.
Summary: Vance, even if absolutely evil, has less power and less motivation to do all the damage Trump has done. So PLEASE do not use Vance as the reason to not get rid of Trump. Most VPs are chosen to draw in the more extreme wing of the party so the main candidate can cater to the moderates. Pretty sure that is not the case here.
I choose hope and try to plan for winning, because planning for losing is both too easy and often a 'self fulfilling prophecy'.
If we win the 2026 elections, how do we get rid of trump ASAP and what can we do NOW to prepare for that?
If we win and get rid of Trump, what do we do next? how can we prepare NOW for that.
Because if we are not ready for winning, we will lose massive opportunities to acheive our goals and likely lose credibility among the voters who do not currently have faith in the Democrats.
We may well win in elections just based on the anti-Trump vote, but if we prepare NOW with plans to truly help the people and break all the gerrymandering nationwide, reshape SCOTUS because it has failed to fulfill its proper function... and so much more so that we can stop the damage, reverse the damage and FIX the system that was broken before Trump came along where the nations wealth was already spiraling up into the hands of fewer people every year and people were just pawns to be manipulated for power rather than addressing their needs. Yes, Democrats tried, but even when building in protections, did not consider how those protections could get ignored, bypassed, corrupted. Just like SCOTUS with some open corruption there.
With my actuarial background, looking at Drumph's weight, poor diet, and lack of physical exercise, there are very few insurance companies would underwrite a life insurance policy for OrangeJezus... even just a 5 year term policy.
I sigh and relax a moment... I have no need for hate in order to 'allow' nature to pursue it's course. I have no need for anxiety when it is out of my control. I have no need for empathy for one who is filled with hate, as I have no desire to feel that even 'second-hand'.
Trump has caused the death of thousands and more likely hundreds of thousands of people through his choices. Trump has caused and greatly escalated hate and division in this country, causing pain and misery to countless people. Just those factors, ignoring many more, are enough to consider him a very dangerous person who needs to be removed from power ASAP. If a person of great danger to countless people were to die, I will not shed a tear, instead I will take comfort in the increased safety of those I care about.
Congress republicans and the far-right extremist Supreme Court Justices are getting exactly what they want from trump and it's Project 2025, they don't fear trump, they need trump to implement Project 2025 which 50% of has been thxs to trump and his regime.
Not all Republicans in congress are extremists, and not all 'conservatives' in SCOTUS are extremists. People, even inside a movement, are not all in lockstep.
Consider each of those people spent their lives seeking power, and now only one person has power. Sure, they have been corrupted with greed and fear, but that does not mean they are all happy with how things are.
No of course not all republicans in congress are extremist, but I'd say today, the majorty are, they certainly hold the power. Name me one Conservative Supreme Court Justice that hasn't shown extremism in their ruling or their desent. I would say today's republicans are in lock step with the goal of getting Project 2025 implemented at any cost. Sadly I would say 99.8 of the new republican party is very happy with how things are going.
Just wanted to add, while they seem secure in their choices, I suspect many are not comfortable being booed at in their own town halls or wherever they are recognized. I suspect many are finding people in their lives isolating from them so the only ones remaining tend to be some of their close family, fellow professionals who have not already left, and those hungry for power or 'true believers' in the MAGA revolution, full of hate and vengeance. That does not make one happy.
I agree as to their actions, but I have watched and believe that fear is a significant factor in many of their choices. Hoping that absent Trump and his primary-controlling Cult we may see better choices from some. That is no reason to go soft on them in the elections, just choose to have hope because without it Trump and his worst allies have won. It is only when you give up that you lose the 'game'.
This has been creeping into my thoughts for months. When rumors of Trump's death reared, I was relieved and terrified. Relieved the world might be rid of an awful man and terrified of what might be stepping into his place.
JD is an empty shell filled with avarice and little else, a person like that would kill every last one of us just to make the point they think the world wants to hear, the limited messed up world of a psychotic.
There is some validity to that argument. But Vance cannot intimidate the GOP as well as Trump. And he will fail to keep the MAGA coalition together. it will fragment with Vance as figurehead.
I have been saying the same thing for months. Basically, that I hope Trump stays healthy. People that disagree with me, however, point out that Vance is unpopular. He doesn't have a cult following, and likely never will. So perhaps Congress would be more likely to act against Vance. What do you think?
Completely and totally agree.A Vance presidency would be a technocratic nightmare with Peter Thiel and Co. pulling the strings... sci-fi horror come to life.
Vance a pos for sure, but NO ONE has MAGA loyalty like orange mound. No One worse than what we currently have. Vance would be kicked aside in short order w/o Trump....even with unpopular billionaire class backing.
We are not going to put J.D. Vance or Maga kiss ass Johnson as president we should seriously bethinking about removing the entire republican party. They are actually traitors to there branch of government and also I think we need to remove all and I mean all corruption out of the government
There's the gerrymandering problem.
Great...but how? I'm sure many on the left would be open to suggestions.

Rand Paul really showed some guts there.
Not sure what you mean? Paul, wanted to hang Dr Fauci for Covid, now wants to play nice with the Venezuelan narco boat crew. Saying the US should have somehow stopped the boat and asked politely to hand over the drugs and weapons and be prosecuted in court. Hundreds of thousands of Americans died both by Covid and fentanyl. So he wants to punish an American hero and play nice to the drug world. No respect for Paul. No wonder his neighbor beat him up.

Short note of agreement.
Drumph has a blind cult following that I don't expect will back The Couch Effer.
Great points hope you're right.' 'Cuz we're gonna find out soon enough.
We live in 'interesting times'.

Exactly why The Persimmon Pedo put him in as VP....someone willing to continue the tyranny.
JD is an empty shell filled with avarice and little else, a person like that would kill every last one of us just to make the point they think the world wants to hear, the limited messed up world of a psychotic.

He doesn't have a cult following, and likely never will. So perhaps Congress would be more likely to act against Vance. What do you think?
My concern is that the powerful 2025 puppeteers are more strongly aligned behind him. They will fight for him if he does their bidding.
It is seemingly Trump’s practice to surround himself with loyal, intolerant and bigoted meanies eager to do his dirty work.
Vance is certainly arrogant and selfish enough - but also lazy.
Completely and totally agree.A Vance presidency would be a technocratic nightmare with Peter Thiel and Co. pulling the strings... sci-fi horror come to life.
Both are very 👿 EVIL!! Impeach the whole Cabinet!!!!
I wouldn’t be surprised if the boat had 3 armed guards and 8 innocent civilians or victims of human trafficking. Trump and Vance murdered them all.
I have a 1st class Honours Bachelors degree and a Masters degree so I know how to describe J.D.VANCE.
He's a disgusting person with NO redeeming features.
That's easy. Trump is old, sick, and insane. Vance is young, healthy, and insane.
Vance a pos for sure, but NO ONE has MAGA loyalty like orange mound. No One worse than what we currently have. Vance would be kicked aside in short order w/o Trump....even with unpopular billionaire class backing.
