If he does get impeached, we get JD Vance, or is there some way to actually pivot to somebody else?
feels like you would oust the whole White House, but idk how it actually works.
Upcoming crisis-es:
-May 2nd : End of De minimis exemption: Orders under $80 will no longer be exempt from tariffs from China
-May 7th: All flights will require a driver’s license with real ID (new licenses after ~2015)
-The X date: Day U.S. spending cap is reached. Earliest is June, expected around August. Would cut off all federal spending including SS and Medicare.
-The X date bill: Bill that would raise the spending cap through reconciliation – but also cut either Medicaid or the Obamacare Medicare expansion. This would lead to, among many things, most rural hospitals being shut down.
-August-September: With the Department of Education no longer working student loans and accommodation requests will be thrown into chaos
-August – November: Harvest season w/o immigrants and w/o USAID contracts. Mass farmer bankruptcy , but limited time cheap food.
-Nov-Dec: Big Box stores see empty shelves due to tariffs. Smaller stores see it earlier, but Target and Walmart will have warehouse inventory until Black Friday.
-Dec-Jan: New COVID variant and flu variants will cause more strain on hospitals due to the previous closures and anti-vac NIH.
Variable dates: Terrorist attacks, something with Russia and Ukraine, Trump “assassination attempt” that turns out to be a false alarm, Trump health scares, and at least one Cabinet member will be forced out due to crimes and/or incompetence.
I think you missed May 3rdish when the last ships sent from China before the tarrifs reach US shores and there's nothing coming after them?
-May 7th: All flights will require a driver’s license with real ID (new licenses after ~2015)
I will just clarify that this is nothing new and is not a Trump thing. This legislation was passed 20 years ago and has been extended multiple times. However, the timing of it sure is an unfortunate coincidence.
They'll extend it again. Less than 50% of people have a real ID
The rest of the world will feel the impact from all this but I don't think it'll be as crazy for us compared to ground zero. I sincerely wish you guys luck.
Sell all your stocks. Hurry.
"Judge J Harvie Wilkinson III of the court of appeals for the fourth circuit – an eminent conservative Reagan appointee who is revered by the Federalist Society" The fucking Federalist Society is on of the fucking reasons we are where we are. When they are crying foul then we are truely fucked.
They fought the leopard would eat faces, but they never guessed it would eat THEIR faces as well
They spent decades training the leopard, so they thought they had tamed it.
I think it's hilarious how the public seems to be waiting for their representatives to do something while at the same time, the representatives are stoking the fire, waiting for the public to do something.
The one and only thing I will ever recommend to people is to stop having kids. Just ... fucking ... stop. Whatever happens, this will at least mean fewer casualties.
And before someone says "yabbut the right are going to have more kids." So what? Unless you are planning on upping the ante with a breeding arms race (which is a ridiculous self-own), it seems like even more of a reason to opt out.
All the while the orange dude is using immigrants for ICE, FBI and other LEOs to practice on ... so they'll be ready to shut the revolution down immediately.
I do really feel for all the Americans who didn't vote or ask for this, 'cause it's gonna be ugly.
It won't be ugly for most of them. It'll be fucking peachy. There will be no revolution.
"The revolution will be painless if the left allows it to be" well the left has made its choice and every minority will be left to rot in the concentration camps because demonstrably americans have utterly buckled to the mere implication of potential violence.
Hopefully America will be like Russia, violent and authoritarian with severely declining quality of life and a broadly politically apathetic population.
Alternatively - and increasingly likely - it will be like Nazi Germany and the fascists will make up for declining quality of life by engaging in increasingly doomed military campaigns.
Either way the ones who could have done something to stop this will be the least affected while everyone else gets crushed under the boot of fascism. But at least they will have the moral high ground of never resorting to political violence.
it's ridiculous how naive american citizens are. "impeach him". lol. wake the fuck up. guns.
Kinda crazy that the country that has been waiting for a tyranny since it began and has stockpiled guns the entire time is now like "hey let's talk about it".
The reps are playing it safe. The best strategy for their own survival is to pacify the public. Agree with their complaints and do nothing about it.
It's almost like the strategy of not doing anything, actually doesn't do anything.
That will work until the Executive decides they aren't needed any longer. A big "Go home, Capitol closed by executive order until the emergency has passed" sign on the Capitol doors. Those that ignore the sign wake up in some third world prison or as the next contestant on 47's newest prime time game show, Who Wants to be Treated as an Insurrectionist Traitor. Their best bet is to organize a fast track impeachment before 47 can stop them, but the longer this all goes on, the faster that whole impeachment thing would need to occur.
Tell this to every ass that talks about Mid-Term elections and raising money for mid-terms. By then it's going to be two late.
Midterms are like 2 years away, by then it will be too late
Love to hear it! The sooner the U.S. empire collapses and destroys itself, the better off the rest of the world will be. Good riddance to the genocidal, slave owning, planet incinerating, resource hoarding, worker crushing cancer that the USA is and always has been. Fuck them and the Nazi boot-lickers that support them.
Which, like, I get, but some of us slave descendants ARE STILL HERE and are actively suffering. Its not like any country has given us refugee status.
Unfortunately if we burn you burn too. The united states will take everyone down with them
I pretty much agree with the article, but I don't see it explained what he means by "US won’t survive Trump’s next 100 days"?
I think what he really means is that democracy in USA won't survive.
I can't even begin to imagine how frustrating it must be to be a blue state like for instance California, and be forced through this political insanity? Also the personal frustration must be enormous for people who knew Trump would be a massive disaster.
We are cursed to live in interesting times. Could the frustrations for blue states like California become big enough for them to secede? I better go get some more popcorn!
I don't see it explained what he means by "US won’t survive Trump’s next 100 days"?
The Trump administration has made a series of Executive Orders. State judges have deemed several of them unconstitutional and issued an injunction, legally pausing them until SCOTUS can rule them. In response, Trump has complained to SCOTUS that no single "activist judge" should be able to impede him like this. They will hear that case soon, and one of two things will happen:
SCOTUS rules in favor of the Executive branch, and judges can no longer block federal behavior, meaning the only way for unconstitutional actions taken by the federal govt to be heard by a court is for the affected individual to file a lawsuit in federal court.
SCOTUS rules in favor of the states, BUT trump legitimately believes he is allowed to commit crimes as president, so he'll just continue ignoring everyone.
I think what he really means is that democracy in USA won't survive.
That's the same thing. No democratic republic, no constitution, no USA. Trump might continue using the name, he might even come up with a new constitution and say that it's the same one with a few improvements, but the US as we knew it would be dead and gone.
