His constituents really need to understand that he doesn’t care. He’s willing to tank the economy b/c he and his rich friends can afford to weather that storm. In fact, it’ll be a buying at discount opportunity for them. The vast majority of that base is absolutely not those ppl. They chose wrong, and I hope they’ll learn.
Do you not have the ability to take a vote of no confidence in the US? Or are you.just stuck with it for 4 years and he can do whatever?
They have an impeachment process which they tried a few years back twice but didn’t work. It is like black magic, a whole lot of mumbo jumbo for literally nothing.
Impeachment doesn’t seem like it actually does anything. It’s like an official slap on the wrist.
Maybe the laws were written back when politicians had a sense of shame and they just assumed that an impeached president would resign.It is a 2 part process. If you think of it like a criminal offense, impeachment is a charge. Then the Senate convicts. He caught 2 charges and the Senate voted him innocent.
So long as he holds at least 33% support in the Senate, he’s safe.
50% in Congress for bringing the articles (charges). 67% of Senate to convict
If you’re found guilty in impeachment you’re removed from office… Just because you don’t understand the full process doesn’t mean it’s toothless
Exactly.
The US system has bunch of things that don’t have explicitly defined penalties, because just the act itself was so shameful that it itself was the punishment.
But now they have a president with zero shame and zero morals - the processes don’t work.
Impeachment DOES have a defined penalty if found guilty
But the chances of being found guilty by the cult of bootlickers Trump has in Congress is slim to none.
The issue is that you can kick him out. You must keep him for at least 4 years…
I hope this doesn’t sound too insane given that currently this is “good news” or at least good metrics for us: But I often worry about using the stock market as a metric for anyone notable.
For instance, I picture a future where a politican pushes hard for increases to minimum wage…and the stock market tanks because “free labor is ruined”. There are some bubbles where it really should tank and I just worry that we’d be excusing it then, and not now.
Granted: It is my belief that there’s no bubbles now and that Biden handed us a working system - one that Trump is throwing wrenches into. I just think after the GME fiasco, we shouldn’t necessarily trust the stock market as a perfect system run by level-headed people.
I suppose what I see here is a way of describing the result of what I think we all know the cause is. Yes it’s a small glimpse of an incomplete picture, and shouldn’t stand up to debate by itself - but it stands with the backdrop of all Trump’s public aggression to friendly countries.
If conservatives could comprehend numbers, they’d be real upset.
How mean, if they could read, they’d be pissed…
They should’ve added Trump 2016 too, dunno what would it look like but omitting stuff isn’t great
Good bot - way to sow doubt. Fucker.
You know, personally, I don’t think the rumours of Trump being an active foreign agent instead of “just” a narcissist grifter are useful, because they can be used to argue that things weren’t already pretty borked before in the status quo… (and I think they are wrong, personally)
But I do have to admit - if I was a foreign agent wanting to destroy the US and its influence in the world, I would basically do exactly what he is doing.
My college degree focused on the collapse of the USSR and the US diplomatic response to it. I studied a lot of Soviet and Russian foreign policy. If Donald Trump is not a Russian asset he weirdly backs every single position you would expect a Russian asset to have.
refusing to speak negatively of Putin in front of millions during the debate should’ve been a pretty clear wakeup call
“He’s a good man, strong man” and every red hat cheered. You dumb mother fuckers.
I love your pfp, rain frogs are PEAK fr
Also my mom’s car is named figgy and we got her as a baby so we call her “little baby figs”
Diesel, gasoline or electric?
He’s in Putin’s pocket for sure. You remember the closed door meeting with him and Putin his first time in office? Putin came out looking smug af and Trump looked like he’d just seen the ghost of his dead dad. Trump was best mates with Epstien and famously can’t keep it his pants. My bet is that Putin has footage of him fucking a minor and is threatening to release it unless Trump toes the line.
Dude, the Venn diagram of the states in which it’s legal to marry a minor and those in which Trump won is probably just a circle
I think he’s inept, stupid, and doesn’t have a plan or idea about what he’s doing. Tariffs, eg, are the polar opposite of what he claims.
His puppeteers, however? They’re just letting him run wild, destroying everything he touches, because they have the wherewithall to withstand the damage.
And they are all making $$$. Insiders make out like crazy when the economy crashes, buy the low and hold. Open a for-profit prison. Get shady government contracts. Get the President to do a commercial for your cars in front of the White House. And on and on.
What stocks do I invest in? I want to profit off the demise of USA as well.
Private prisons (The GEO Group and CoreCivic), and any of many security companies that deal with government contracts are probably a good start.
European weapons manufacturers
I remember how a webstream of a lettuce was set up for Liz and she got kicked out faster than the lettuce on the webstream became rotten.
Obama 2013 doesn’t really make any sense. He was already president, so nothing changed. 2009 is probably much worse cause of Bush’s recession.
I’ve often heard people describe the stock market as a graph of rich people’s feelings. Looking at this, if that was true? This is the most relatable the 1% have been in a century.
Edit: Yeah I know, folks. I did say if.
I’ve never seen a graph so metaphorically and literally apt.
Story of his life. At no point ever has DJT not been a loser. Such a failure of a human being, and the world will be much better once he exits it.
Saw a great video of his approval numbers and he is underwater compared to every other president for this soon in. His only competition, and President he still comes in 2nd worst to depending on the topic, is himself from his first term. 🤣🤣
How the fuck is this Nazi fuck doing better with his poll numbers than the first time?!?!
Well it depends on the topic, because some people love Musk dismantling the government, and others really get a chub from all the deportation (even though it’s a fraction of what he promised) and just general cruelty. But he still has the bottom 2 presidential approval ratings.
I also think many people tuned out post election because they either voted for the shithead and are by their nature very low information voters, or voted against him and needed to go into a news void for mental health reasons post election.
