Rather than a front page obit wouldn’t it be great if Congress and Senate just did their job and legally removed him.
I concur. The fact that his death seems like the only way we will be rid of him is a bigger problem than trump.
What about the next person who does all this. Like Vance ?
Vance does not have the cult leader credentials. If he pulled a “Let’s take Greenland” out of his ass, he wouldn’t have the same spell to keep 30% of approval.
That’s why many authoritarian regimes fall after the death of the charismatic leader.
And yes, the root cause of Trump appearing in the political scene go beyond himself and point towards structural problems of US society. But now he has this power, it’s a fact that his death will cause a great loss to the political power of the MAGA movement, and it’ll be very hard for any successor to keep this coalition in power, specially considering they’re already fighting among themselves.
Congress was envisioned to jealously guard their own power. They have been eager to abdicate their power and responsibility to the Executive to avoid political fallout (so that they can stay in office capitalizing off the position) for decades before Trump was on the scene.
The Supreme Court has absolutely no legal oversight, and even publication of their corruption has not moved them to impose any code of ethics on themselves.
The two parties both conspire to deliver us to the same monied interests, just with different flavors of icing on top.
Trump is the culmination of the rot in the system, he is not the source of it. There is no realistic way for the system to go on, even if Trump keels over tomorrow. Regardless of if Vance can command the cult when Trump dies, the system must be greatly reformed/ overhauled.
…I can’t fucking believe anyone considers that dimwit charismatic
“Charismatic leadership” is an expression often used in political theory to describe leaders who are able to agrue a personal following and use it for political gain, in a level unlike that of most politicians, to whom support is way more conditional.
It’ doesn’t necessarily mean the same as “approachable” , or anything that “charismatic” usually is used to describe. It’s been used to describe figures as awful as Hitler or Mussolini.
Turns out “charismatic” just means “spewing constantly without filter”
Starts to look like a lot of men need killing.
It’s NOT illegal to say "with a mortar launcher’ because it’s definitely an incomplete sentence.
Legal doesn’t matter when the secret service starts harassing people for saying things like “Trump should go to trial,” it’ll have the chilling effect it’s supposed to unless people fight back by saying things like “it’s not illegal to wish the President of the United States were dead.”
aren’t those the guys who handle counterfeit money?
With a mortar!?? That would be funny as fuck! And I always wonder and think it requires skills to correctly handle a mortar.
> Claims to be the land of Free Speech and the First Amendment.
> Can’t make jokes about assassinating the US President.
They may have also meant using the 25th amendment to remove the president like their legal system allows for if Congress and the Senate weren’t completely bought by the fascist billionaire class that owns the presidency as well.
That’s not going to happen.
JD would love it though. Guy cannot wait to get promoted and gets a lil pep in his step every time Trump has yet another mystery hospital visit. Literally the only upside of Trump making it through his full term is that JD wouldn’t get the satisfaction of being president.
Except JD has nowhere near the level of charisma that trump had.
I think we need a better word. Charisma feels so weird in this context. It’s more like dung beetles being attracted to shit, or roaches slurping up rotten food waste. Trump’s got no rizz. The shit-king attracts his children.
he’s got racist charisma. it only works with racists, but holy hell does it work there.
So he has less than a pile of elephant shit? Thats rough.
You have freedom of speech, just not freedom after speech.
freedom of speech does not imply freedom before, during or after speech
All freedom of speech means is that it isn’t a crime to say things (with some exceptions such as plotting violence, which can and will get you thrown in jail). It doesn’t mean it won’t land you in hot water otherwise - such as getting the attention of the FBI.
Wouldn’t that apply anywhere? Even in North Korea you’re physically able to say whatever you want. What happens after is the problem.
it’s funny, we know what you’re talking about. We can’t say what your talking about as that may involve a meeting with the SS if you are american.
Funny thing is, you could mean Schutzstaffel, or Secret Service. No way to know in modern America.

The American Schutzstaffel, or ASS.
That’s illegal!
RIP Trevor Moore. You were the Syd Barrett of American Comedy. Shine on, you crazy local sexpot.
A mortar, you say?
I didn’t even know they made it in liquid form
Get active.
It’s NOT illegal to form an alternative government of the United States as a micronation with a distinct name, flag, anthem and coat of arms and such (and you can still pay taxes to the current US government and call that “aid”). Forming a micronation is NOT the same as being a sovereign citizen.
The problem is that you can’t form a micronation out of land that belongs to a nation already, unless that nation cedes it to you. Until that point, you are still subject to the laws of wherever you are.
I’d like to see your research on this
Isn’t this what you guys have guns for?
I hope people are organising at the very least.
Actually, no. Technically they have guns because their government didn’t want to pay for a standing army (they’ve still changed their mind, in case you didn’t follow US politics too closely).
They’ve just been making innumerable wacky excuses since then to try and make us believe that having 35 rifles and 122 handguns was perfectly normal.
It’s nice to see that the “in minecraft” meme has evolved to not even mentioning what to do at all, that we all just know fairly well anyway.
I agree.
The front page of every newspaper in the country has never so desperately needed an obituary on it.
Now I know what you might be thinking: never? What about that one time in the 1940s? Not even then, because even if that fucker LIVED he was on the cusp of capture. He was no longer a threat even before his obituary showed up
This time I have no faith or hope that the threat may actually be nullified at all otherwise.

CIA only topples leftist governments and install facist dictatorships…
That kind of situation is a nice demonstration that economic theories which rely on people acting logically (Smith, Marx, etc.) are not true. People are mostly driven by intangible factors like ideology, loyalty, and complacency.
Someone did try, but he missed, ensuring his win unfortunately…
I seriously doubt it was an actual attempt. Funny how fast his ear healed.
It’s well known that SS protocol during an active shooter situation is to allow the presumed target to rise above all the bodies protecting him, while making a perfectly timed fist raised gesture directly to the camera that happened to snap the perfect shot of the ketchup packet bursting.
Duh.
Don’t forget the flag that was lowered into frame for the picture.
I swear, these are every bit as dumb as maga’s conspiracy theories. If that’s where they wanted the flag for the picture, why didn’t they just start with the flag there? Why lower it just in time? Was the Qanon flag lowering operator on the radio with the photographer coordinating the position and timing? Or, just maybe, big-ass flags that are suspended from cranes by only the top two corners just kind of move up and down in the wind.
Do you really believe that the same stupid motherfuckers who ended up having a press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping were capable of staging an assassination attempt where two other people actually died and the only gap in their performance was a ham-fisted flag maneuver for the photo op?
With not the slightest mark left behind!
Bad lifestyle will take care of trump. The guy has one foot in the grave already. It’s the billionaires backing him and Vance that need to be removed.
