    Oh wait. Now we got him. Maga will finally see the truth. Yup. This is it. We finally have proof of high crimes and misdemeanors. Good sleuthing boys. Job well done. No way he escapes this scandal. Huh… remember that word?.. Scandal? Hm. Not really a thing these days. Anyway… I digress… So happy. Today is truly a day that will be known forevermore as our new independence day. Yup. This was the straw. I can’t believe I was alive for this moment. Our collective trauma can finally begin to heal. Our Republic can once again hold its head high on the world stage. Yes sir. Today you see American exceptionalism on full display. We had a problem and we got to work and fixed it. Super proud to wave the red white and blue again. No more fascism. No more SS. Once again the sun shines on the Constitution. All rights that were once trampled have now been restored. The concentration camps have seen the err of their ways. We got him. Surely no politician could ever survive such a damning revelation. We wake at the dawn is a new day. What once was lost has now been found. Yessir. The American Justice system has proven its superiority. The rule of law has been restored. So happy. All American rejoice in the changing of the guard Inhales deeply huuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh… We are lucky to live in extraordinary times. On the 7th day we all rested. Love won. The victims will all see their retribution.

    Sigh.

    Yeah we know

    Also, every other country, and billionaires

    He will also still accept small donations of even a dollar from the proles! I have hundreds of texts of him begging me for donations, daily, often multiple times a day.

    Some of the messages are like “My dad mentioned you yesterday” from Eric Trump. This is not a joke and I’m not exaggerating.

    So, even proles can contribute! He won’t actually do anything for you, though, sorry. I mean, what, ten dollars? What can you buy with ten dollars? A grocery? Come on.

    Trump is the biggest corporate yes man there is. He positioned himself as some anti corporation guy and has been getting gold bars and all type illegal deals. No wonder why he said he doesn’t need the Presidential salary.

    “Hey! They can’t do that! That’s illegal!”, we scream for the 2568th time since was elected for his 2nd term.

    Maybe we should set age limits for presidency so that if something is ever done about all the crimes committed, they actually live long enough to be punished for them.

    This is pathetic.

    The American government is a joke to let this keep happening.

    He should be impeached and charged for violating his oath.

    He won’t be, but he should be. I don’t think he’ll ever face any consequences, and if he must his master Satan will pluck him from his mortal coil to collect on his debt.

          It has only ever served to protect tyrants. There is a reason it was right wingers who imagined the particular modern interpretation of the amendment to mean what people believe it means today.

          Historically speaking of course. I would be very happy to see a change in that trend, but of course so far there has been no signs that that trend has changed in any way.

      Based on the most recent special-election results, we should* see the Dems leave the 2026 mid-terms with 250+ house seats and a slight majority (50-55 range) in the senate.

      Enough to impeach the orange turd - but not enough to convict, without some of the more moderate reps growing a spine.

      * rough estimates based on a ~25 point swing in urban and suburban districts, and a ~15 point swing in rural seats towards the Dems from the 2024 result.

      Again, this is also based on the idea that Trump won’t somehow rat-fuck the US to the point of declaring martial law due to a perceived insurrectionist uprising, and trying to cancel the mid-terms altogether.

        Even a slight majority in the Senate will mean they can do a real trial there, something that didn’t happen in the previous two impeachments.

        It also means that if he’s removed and Vance becomes President, his VP will have to be approved by a Democratic Senate.

        The shit he’s pulling lately, getting voter rolls, admitting to the fact doge was just a way to steal data specifically for the started purpose of election interference, the midterms are either not going to happen, or be totally bogus

      The only thing pathetic at this point is that all Americans aren’t going full hostile takeover.

      I am an American. I know the frustration of people that care. So this isn’t directed at your comment specifically. I feel and understand your frustration and doomerism in “nothing will happen”. But, nothing will happen because YOU and I aren’t doing anything.

      We’re seeing a massive opportunity right now for people that don’t usually pay attention to actually pay attention. I’ve been at this for awhile. I had the same feeling before.

      But right now the “wine mom’s” are talking about a need for reconstructing our entire system.

      We are far far behind in the organization that we need to enact real change. The flame of frustration is AHEAD of the actual organized efforts. Many are just sitting in wait.

      You (anyone reading this) and I. We can’t sit in wait. We are the ones that should have been prepared for this opportunity.

      If you’re not going to a meeting (in person) in your community to organize against ICE or work for resistance, well, you need to. DSA, PSL, your local immigrant rights organizations, etc. You need to get connected NOW.

      If all you do is donate some whistles or give a ride to someone that needed it. YOU did something! Do one thing and start there.

      Individual attitude is keeping leftist in wait. Our collective minimal effort is much more powerful than anything else. And that minimal effort is addicting. It’s will bring you to even more. It’s everything you’ve been looking for that has been missing. There is no better mental health therapy than the feeling of solidarity.

    The most powerful person on the planet, also happens to be the most shamelessly corrupt.

    LOL.

    The way I see it, Trump will be dead long before the law holds him accountable for anything.

    That said, is there any way any of the kids could get roped in to this?

      I hope all of them go to prison. Jared, too, that little snake.

      Pedonald has some weird sway over his cult; I don’t know if any of his fanboiz and fangurlz have any special love for the rest of the crime family.

      The Trump companies have been sued and lost dozens of times - and as figurehead and CEO of most of them I presume civil damages cases could wipe out a lot of the Trump family fortune. But, Trump has been working with the mob since the 80s and had Roy Cohn (mob laywer) as his personal laywer back then and for many years, so being career criminals (essentially a mob family), I’d not be surprised if most of the money and assets are carefully squirreled away in offshore accounts and trusts and whatnot.

      Also given that the US is doing everything it can to pull apart legislative protections against the billionaires class, it would probably all be a major uphill battle without a sweeping change of government and an expansion of the supreme court.
