I sure am tired of waiting. He should have been impeached during his first term. They keep letting him up off the mat, and he just continues to land punches. Had someone written a fictional novel about a president like him, critics would have panned it for being absurdly unbelievable.

Putin’s Apprentice was impeached twice. The problem was twice the Senate refused to hold a trial much less vote to convict, which is required to remove him from office.

I don't think they'll refuse the vote - too open and dangerous.

I just think that they'll make sure your vote doesn't matter. I already have doubts about what happened in 2024 - by 2026, they'll have it really under control.

"President trump received 98% of the votes. . " - they'll leave that 2% so as to make it look "believable."

Absolutely right, but of course we have some small consolation in the fact that there is as vocal contingent on the right as on the left about the too- casual dissemination of private information; let us hope that the usual complicit class is actually vocal enough to get our representatives off their collective liver-spotted backsides to actually enact REAL substantive protections against inappropriate use of our information.

Thiel has it for sure.

Numbnuts and Musk have the goods on each other:

Musk has the Epstein files and far too much classified information (through all his DOD contracts) that he could share with our enemies, plus he's now so entwined with satellites and NASA he's pretty much made himself indispensable for now.

Numbnuts just today (7-1) threatened to cut off Musk's govt. subsidies, but I don't think he can; he's posturing as usual.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out. I hope Musk at least releases the Epstein Files, but I doubt he will; he needs our tax dollars to survive financially. Shame on our govt. for allowing this to happen in the first place.

Janet Wilson's avatar

Ok, *no one* cares about the Epstein files. We all know what those two were up to and I regret to say the world doesn't really care that they had a predilection for raping minors. Trump would probably see the files as proof of his bloated sense of power and superiority, gak.

Musk's grants can be withdrawn...heck they can take away your shards of health care, your freedoms and tax dollars, they can take away anything now. And Musk is not indispensable.

Alas as far as I know the USA has no mechanism for redressing a rigged election, even with proof of the rigging. Something to fix (no pun intended) going forward.

Oaktown's avatar

Donnie clearly cares about the Epstein files, as do the young, vulnerable women he and his pals raped and abused, and I care about that. Many people sacrificed to bring Epstein to justice. Read Julie Brown's book "Perversion of Justice" if you want to understand why it matters. It's not just some tabloid gossip and I for one am sick and tired of the wealthy and well-connected getting away with anything while they persecute hard-working, decent Americans.

Our health care does not service the space station or share classified information.

Douglas Gilligan's avatar

Perhaps, if he was smart enough to 'keep the keys' it could be used to defeat those who cross him. While overtly the threat he uses of defeating people in their primary elections comes across as simply spending money to beat them, if Musk did engage in illegal vote manipulation, then he retains more power than simple advertising can deliver. Trump of course is immune, because the only way he gets a third term is if he uses his power to make elections irrelevant. Trump at this stage feel he has no risk of impeachment (key to it would be secret ballot for the Senators). Trump is not a great long term thinker, and in his advanced age will simply use his old playbook, so this will come accross as Trump not fearing Musk.

He never went away. 4 sweet years? Where was our gov't watching when everyone and their mother paid homage and kissed the ring at Mar-a-Lago? I can't possibly be the only person who saw 🚨 when Viktor Orban paid a visit. Did people just think he was just going for a round of golf and his rancid food? He was giving him the playbook. "Authoritarianism for Dummies". He was planning his comeback Coup with Stephen Miller and Project 2025.

Why did he turn the Oval Office into Versailles, gold gilding every surface including the ceiling? Wants to rip up the lawn of the Rose Garden for a marble dance floor? Does that sound like a lame duck President who plans on leaving? I don't mean to sound harsh, but I'm the negative one here. If I'm wrong, I would be thrilled, but I don't see it.

Heart attack, stroke, Vance invokes the 25th

Expand full comment
Tammy  Scott's avatar

I am betting Trump is " removed" from office once he passes two years. If Vance takes over prior to the half way mark then it is considered a term and Vance woukd only have one more term left

Buttt if they can prod Trump along until the second half of this term THEN give him the boot then Vance's take over would not be considered a term and Vance would have two more four year terms left thus giving him ten years of power instead of just 6 years - almost double.

So I expect they will nurse old DonOld along until they get past the half way mark. Once two years and two month pass I suspect DonOld to be more of a liability than an asset by that time.

Plus DonOld makes for great distractions so Vance and the Haritage foundation can do what they want in the shadows of Trump's distractions.

Remember a the deep state accusations and a narcissist accusations are confessions. The Hartiage Foundation is running the country NOT Trump nor his band of pretend cabnit members.

Elon wants to pour millions of more money into political theater and try to get rid of the GOP because of this bill. I love the hypocrisy, because he spent millions for Trump. I’m not even sure he got “ slam bam thank you ma’am” and now he’s willing to spend millions against Trump and his GOP regime. I have a better idea. Why not put that $220 million or billion or whatever he can come up with and fund Medicare. Pay for the cuts they have made. It might actually make him a little more popular.

in fact, when I think of the wasted money in political advertising and campaigning, that could be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education, or any number of societal things, it makes me sick to my stomach. Talk about waste fraud, and abuse, that totally explains the obvious in our campaign finance policies.

Because as long as 'we the people' continue to stand side by side with each other. Millions of us can invoke change. Will it be easy? Hell no. But can it be done? Hell yes. We just can't give up. We just can't. Because if we do we allow them to win. We can't let that happen. We have the numbers on our side. I know there is MAGA. But who fucking cares. We still have the bigger numbers. We must continue the fight. Also, please let's not forget who we really have to go after. Yes, Project 2025 creators/ Heritage Foundation CEO and his billionaire oligarchy.
