On Easter morning, President Trump took to Truth Social and issued a statement that would have been unthinkable from any other modern American president. Just reading it was visceral: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” he wrote a little after 8 a.m. “Open the F–kin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH. Praise be to Allah.”
Strip away the shock value for a moment and consider what this represents in practical terms. This is not a stray remark at a rally. Nor was it a misstatement quickly corrected by staff. This is a public declaration, directed at a geopolitical adversary, during an active and escalating international crisis.
The 25th Amendment to the Constitution was not written for partisan convenience. It was designed for moments when the continuity and stability of executive decision-making come into question. Its purpose is not to punish a president but to protect the country.
I think its too late for the 25th. I literally can’t imagine any one in the cabinet who would stop him.
The biggest American fairy tale is the Legend of the Moderate Republican.
Turns out “checks and balances” mean absolutely nothing when they’re all complicit
The biggest Ameriturd fairy tale is that there are any real options other than imperialism. There is no difference between the parties. left foot right foot… the empire marches on
decades ago maybe right from the jump
Trump went too far a long time ago.
Trump’s insanity is kind of like the US gun violence epidemic. Most reasonable people know it’s an extremely fucked up and unacceptable situation, but no one’s really sure what to do about it, so we’re just gonna kind of ignore it and become desensitized to it. I mean, most decent people thought Sandy Hook would be the turning point. That had to be a red line, right? Nope. Similarly, Trump threatens the existence of an entire civilization. That has to be it, right? Like, that’s gotta a red line, right? Probably not.
Here’s an extra upvote.
I never thought i would say this, but it may be better for him to stay in until after the midterms.
Agree entirely.
The whole plan is a series of fall guys and if someone becomes a liability, even if they’re the demagogue who pulled off the first part of the coup, they need to go.
The real problem people are behind the scenes (Heritage Foundation, Opus Dei). Replacing Trump with someone who is less polarizing and a more experienced politician (Vance) would be devastating.
