    All these analysts trying to figure out how this tyrant who will be in control of all the Federal government can’t do this or that because a piece of paper says so. SMH.

      It’s not the piece of paper, it’s the amount of people who have to go along with something for it to happen. A lot of his and his zealous proposals are wildly unpopular.

      Also Trump is a raging narcissist. If the focus ends up on project 2025 and makes him look bad, he will ditch whatever that item is. So I guess pick your battles and make noise.

        You’re exactly correct. The law as it stands is irrelevant to what these analysts think. I’m not saying Trump can call every shot, but it doesn’t really get any easier to change or skirt laws he dislikes. Anyone who leans on the “but the law says…” argument is praying.

      People don’t seem to understand that Trump is the Russians’ inside job.

      The call is coming from inside of the house. The policies are meant to be bad on purpose. The people that destroy the country will be on planes to Moscow when all is said and done.

      Russia won. The oligarchs won. We lost. That’s all there is to it.

      Like how slapping double digit tariffs on literally everything would be economic suicide?

    Trump would be impeached if he tried. You think Raytheon and Boeing can’t buy enough congressmen to impeach him?

      He’s been fucking impeached twice already.

      How do you people have such short fucking memories?

      Nothing sticks to this dirtbag. That’s how he got that stupid nickname.

        Successfully removed from office, not the ceremonial bullshit the dems do for the aesthetic.

          Republicans have at least 53 senators. He won’t be removed, just like the last two times.

            How many of those senators depend on MIC lobbying to keep their seats?

            There’s lines a president can’t cross, threatening the jobs 50+ senators is one of them.

              Their role is entirely dependent on maintaining the cult of personality and calling for the blood of those who are accused of dysloyalty.

              STOP IMAGINING THESE PEOPLE HAVE ANY KIND OF MORALS OR LIMITS TO WHAT THEY WILL DO. HOW HAVE YOU NOT GOT THIS YET?

          Bruh dems voted for it. They did what they could with the votes they had at the time. REPUBLICANS stone walled it because it’s party over country for them. They probably hoped that almost getting lynched by an angry fucking mob the sitting president refused to call in the National Guard on would get at least enough to flip to convict, but nope, republicans will apparently literally die before they vote for country over party.

            The country is 3 corporations in a trenchcoat. If Trump threatened the corporations those same republicans campaigns need to get elected, those republicans would have to either lose their seats or get rid of Trump.

        A lot less though. Keep in mind, Ukraine help is also a big plus in all the financial books, even though it looks like they just “get the money”…

    To the glee of the fascist dictator currently attempting Ukrainian genocide.
