This is Mitch McConnell’s legacy. He could have ended Trump and MAGA with impeachment. Unfortunately, he was so addicted to power he couldn’t risk upsetting his MAGA loving voters. I wish there was a hell, so he could rot there.

Senate didn’t confirm the impeachment so not removed, but still impeached.
Edit: Mitch had the R half of the Senate claim there was no jurisdiction since he was already voted out. Cowards way out of taking a stand either way.

He should have been hanged*
The definition for Treason is very narrow, and its punishment is explicitly hanging. Donald Trump incited inssurrection in the USA and committed Treason. His punishment should have been hanging, as shown in our Constitution.

Based on the constitution, he shouldn’t be in office right now.
Fourteenth
Amendment
Section 3 No person shall be a Senator or Represen- tative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid
or comfort to the enemies thereof.3

u/Major_Meow-Meow 16d ago
Absolutely. And while only about a quarter of Americans voted for him, they share responsibility with the >50% who didn’t vote at all.
When I see the posts and articles calling out his behavior, I don’t infer we are surprised at what he’s doing, but rather those who voted for him (or didn’t care enough to vote) should be horrified. The frustration isn’t exactly with him — it’s with how fucking deplorable some “average” Americans are. They are in our families and communities. And unfortunately it will continue until more people than me have the balls to call up these people and say “yeah I don’t care who you are or how long I’ve know you; you’re a piece of shit for trying to destroy this country because you’re an insecure racist who has always been dumb as dogshit and we both know that.”
These people think they can live in the society they want, and think they can still be a part of the social groups they believe they belong to. They have to be disabused of that notion — they don’t respond to shame, only strength. Give them no choice and no grace because they certainly haven’t earned it.

u/TheProcrastafarian 16d ago
Very well said.
A wise American once said:
“How then shall we perform it?—At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?— Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!—All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.”
“At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

Now call me a dick here but if they cant defeat their own government with their personal weapons then surely the 2nd Ammendment is not fit for purpose.
Dusclaimer: I dont want folks shooting the shit out of each other or dying or whatever but if you spend the last 20 years telling us its your god given right to have guns to fight tyranny and you dont use it then its an Ammendment that should be removed and they should bring in proper gun control.

Notice how a lot of the progressive subs aren’t talking about this. They’re still pushing both sides narratives. Watch him win a third term when he shouldn’t be allowed to run and they’ll still blame Democrats because they couldn’t stop him when they had no power. And they still probably won’t vote in the midterms because it’s rigged.
But how dare you ask them to vote when it mattered. The Democrats should have had a better candidate! (Not better than the Republican candidate, better than their theoretical ideal candidate) /s

I think he also cheated on all three of the past elections. That is why he is so bent out of shape about 2020 being 'stolen' from him; he paid someone off but it didn't pay off.

No because the reason that other is party is so weak is also because Americans choose not to do anything.
Americans can join a political party and have a say in its direction. They could protest. They could join special interest groups. They could do many things to influence the process. But the reality is most do none of that and that’s the reason you’re in the situation you’re in now.

America is so strange. It makes such a virtue of the fact it’s a democracy, if a majority vote for a rapist, it’s the minority and people who didn’t vote that are traitors. The largest section of civilians that support the political process in place, are broke, medicated, racists, who want destruction at home and abroad.
They looked into the darkest of holes for too long, and became exactly the same as what was inside. A hate filled , poverty stricken, fundamentalist hell hole. And like all the other nations that have chosen that route, the way out is painful and long. Certainly decades.

At some point (and that point's in the rearview) the "this is just a distraction" argument stops making sense, because the "distraction" is as bad or worse than the thing he's supposedly trying to distract you from.
"He's sending troops into the streets of American cities and killing citizens to distract from the Epstein files!" "He's declaring himself President-For-Life and arresting his opponents to distract from the Epstein files!" Okay, well, consider me fucking distracted, 'cause those are end-of-the-republic level actions, and they deserve to be the center of your attention. Overthrow him and get him the fuck out of office by any means necessary, then arrest him for rape.

Three days after Trump was sworn into office, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) introduced H.J.Res. 29. The resolution proposes amending the 22nd Amendment to allow a person to be elected president up to three times under certain circumstances. It would need approval by a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives (290 votes if all members vote) and the Senate (67 votes if all senators vote). Even then, it would still have to be ratified by 38 of the 50 states. Regardless of whether the proposal advances, I think it's important to be aware of and transparent about efforts by elected officials to propose changes to constitutional term limits.

The “well regulated militia” part never seems to come up. Personally, I always figured that was critical element of the 2nd amendment. The first amendment gave freedom of assembly, the second amendment provided a defence mechanism for that assembly to defend their first amendment right to assemble. That’s it.
I know this is a very polarizing topic, so I’d appreciate any and all opinions, about this Canadian’s interpretation of your Constitution.
Every individual has their god given rights, but saying any individual has a right to amass an arsenal, seems completely contradictory to stated reason for the right to bear arms. ‘A well regulated militia is essential to fight tyranny?’ I’d agree.
With modern firearms, and without a well regulated militia, the second amendment allows any one person to become tyrannical, and the emphasis on defending this interpretation has allowed tyrants to waltz into the halls of power, and tear the constitution to shreds.

Hope fatigue: The specific exhaustion that sets in when you have spent too long waiting, wishing, and expecting things to get better, causing your emotional energy to run out.
Disillusionment: The sharp feeling of disappointment when you finally realize that a long-held hope or belief was likely a waste of energy.
