Last time, Trump just appointed people that were recommended to him and who could get by the Senate. Trump kept having to get rid of them whenever they refused to break the law or violate their code of ethics.

This time he's appointed nothing but people that were already lined up for the positions by Project 2025 based solely on loyalty. Since the Republicans control the senate, they all flew through with flying colors. This batch are happy to break the law for him and they have no ethics.

The only reason this guy is out is that he's an astonoshingly incompetent DUI hire.

Punching someone in the face does tend to make them hostile.

Don't worry. Someone will need you to to pick produce in a field somewhere soon.

Yep.

His slathering hordes are something to be reasonably afraid of. Also, he did nearly manage to overthrow our government and did manage to get himself reelected four years later. He may be more effective that you think.

The Democrats in office can't do shit. There are not enough of them. Democrats cannot filibuster the president's appointments because they themselves removed the filibuster rule on appointments below the level of the Supreme Court back in 2013. They could use the filibuster on some bills, but you'd have to get all of the dems to vote in lock-step like the republicans do. Good luck with that considering how many democrats are only democrats in name so they could get elected in their districts and then they vote with the republicans more often than not.

If you want change, you need to convince the republicans in office that they are going to lose their jobs. They do not support Trump because they necessarily agree with him, they do it because, as Murkowski has publicly admitted, they are afraid of him. We voters need to rally, make noise, and make them afraid of us. There are not enough MAGA voters to keep the republicans in office if enough of the rest of us actually show up to vote. We voters need to convince them that they will be out of their cushy jobs if they don't stop this lunatic.

Assuming all democrats in the House vote to impeach, it will take 4 republicans joining them to reach the 50% threshold to succeed. That could honestly be doable. The Senate is another story. It would take 20 republicans to vote with all the democrats and independents to reach the 67% needed to convict. Not impossible, but a profoundly uphill battle.

Call your reps, protest, make noise. As long as the republicans think that Trump's hordes will keep them in office for supporting him, they won't cave. If we can convince them that the MAGA loons will not be enough to get them reelected and keep their cushy jobs, they'll flip. They are not loyal to Trump, they are afraid of him.

Trump White House is now in damage control mode figuring out how to hide the real unemployment figures.

That should say 'another trade war.' He did the same shit last time he was in office as anyone who has better memory that a goldfish should remember. Trump only looked unbeatable on the economy because the billionaires who own all the major, and most of the minor, media outlets wanted him to look that way so they could get more undeserved tax cuts.

Yeah, that's always a big flag, isn't it?

Watch the video that u/tburkhol posted in this thread. It's actually quite enlightening on this topic.

I don't hear you offering a solution. Am I correct in my belief that your are in favor of just rolling over and letting him do whatever he wants and not to bother resisting in any way?

It holds up. I see (and have used) that quote regularly and everyone seems to know it.

Do it J.B. I want him to do for this nation what he's done for Illinois. I'm not a fan of billionaires in general, but Pritzker has been absolutely amazing for Illinois. I could not ask for a better candidate.

If you want to just lay there and keep watching our country burn while doing nothing that's your choice. I'll keep doing what little I can to help those who are working on fighting this tyrant.

Good. Now everyone needs to call, email, or visit with their reps to get this passed - assuming they can force a vote. It will only take 4 republicans crossing the aisle in the house to impeach him yet again. Then we need to hound our Senators to get a conviction. That will be the hardest part because it'll take about 20 republicans to join all the democrats and independents to convict him.

That would be a very elegant solution.

Yes, but he has been accused of child sexual assault. As you say, anyone can make an accusation and he has been accused.

I’m guessing what’s printed are the crimes they’re accused of rather than anything they’ve been convicted of.

So Trump's picture should be up there.

So post an article about it and lets talk about it. I don't have time to watch long videos from sources I am unfamiliar with and don't know the quality of. That's why I come to this community where rule number one is, "Post only links to articles." There are other communities for political videos, memes, and discussion posts.
