    If your point is that this mechanism won’t work, then I’m assuming your point is that nothing can stop Trump.

    Doesn’t mean my answer was wrong or clueless, only that the means to stop him has failed.

    If you think something else is stopping him, I’d be very curious what that might be.

      You have a mioptic view of the universe of options. Expecting the established systems that have literally failed at every opportunity to somehow put a check on trump is fool hardy.

      If you want him stopped you will have to stop him.

        Well, let’s see.

        It won’t be his moral fiber.

        It won’t be China or Russia the only two military powers that have a chance to have any influence on CONUS affairs.

        Maybe his desperate desire for public approval as I suspect major ordinance dropped on a US population center isn’t going to poll well, but I’d hate to count on that.

        Me? Stop the president from doing literally anything? You vastly over estimate my powers.

          You’re capable of throwing a cocktail right? Go fuck some shit up. Thats how this ends. You either do it now or you’ve lost the fight once the consolidation finishes. Stop expecting other people to save you. thats literally why trump isnt being stopped because all the idiots keep thinking ‘someone else will do it for me’

          Shrug

            The chances of me personally firebombing anything is functionally 0.

            I certianly expect someone else to handle this for me, the men and women of the US military who aren’t going to a US city into fucking Dresden.

            My suggestion was to rely on the mechanism which has handled this type of issue without fail since day one.

            Yours is to encite random acts of partisan violence.

            I’m going stick with my plan thanks.

              We’re already in the state of partisan violence. just take a look at the news. 🤦 excuse me mr gestapo please dont arrest my friends and family. lol.

              god you people would rather sit on your asses than do anything effective to stop this nonsense. Trump is already denying aid to states he doesnt like, arresting legal residents on trumped up charges. about the only thing he isnt doing is shooting people personally.

              so what will it take for you to actually lift a fucking finger? your family members being shot in the streets by ICE? random acts of directed violence is precisely what is needed atm. but keep on hand wringing. I’m sure that will be effective!
