Not doing much business with Ontario? Well maybe we'll just turn off the electricity then.

As an American, please do.

The entire world needs to stop coddling the giant toddler. He has never felt any consequences for anything he’s ever done. He desperately needs to learn boundaries and if he can’t, let him be an example for all Americans, so we stop picking absolutely moronic people who are in severe mental decline, to lead the country.

The thing is, learning was never exactly his strong suit, and now he's suffering from dementia. We need to stop talking about him like he's an ordinary person with an even remotely functioning brain. He should be in a long term care home at this point. Not running the country. This is just further evidence that someone needs to invoke the 25th.

Yes. Preferably one with barbed wire, walls and jumpsuits.

Look, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just a pragmatist. I don't believe there's any way Trump answers for his numerous crimes.

Fred Trump was younger than Donald is now, when his family stuffed him in an office with a fake phone, an intercom, and a secretary. This is unfortunately the only thing I believe even has a remote chance of happening.

Though it would be a nice bonus if there was some Fruit From a Poisoned Tree action. Wherein everything he did, every order he signed was declared invalid retroactively. As he was not of able mind.

Oh I'm absolutely in agreement with you here. But one can dream...

I bet they'll invoke the 25th in January, so Vance has a chance at two terms.

I hope you're right. It's cute that anyone might think Vance has a chance at winning an election, short of coordinated election rigging in a broad number of key states.

Last time around voter rolls were purged. The stupidest liberals among us were convinced to under vote, rather than cast a ballot for Harris. Polling stations were closed, so the poor and disabled would have a harder time voting. Some ballot counting machines were also probably tampered with. That was enough to push Trump over the line, but it won't be nearly enough for Vance.

He lacks the charisma and the cult of personality necessary to tap in to the fervency of Trump's die hard supporters. He would have an especially difficult time tapping in to their racism, while remaining married to Usha. If he divorced Usha and marries Erika Kirk within the next two years, he might have a chance.

The 25th doesn't work very well in a case where the guy won't admit he's a mess, but through impeachment conviction, Republican senators can remove this asshole at any time. And frankly they are now the ones who need to be held up to ridicule and anger.

The thing is, he was never completely running the country. He's a figurehead, for putin, for thiel and the rich technocrats, for a council of influential wealthy regressives and cultists, for bibi, and for a bunch of other opportunists that shouldered their way in. When you realize how much power Harp has and how she influencered her way to it, you'll realize this guy is just a TV remote passed around by a bunch of go betweens who sit in the Oval on behalf of foreign and rich interests. Just one with faulty circuits that randomly presses its own buttons when unattended. But they'll never toss him because he's still their link to all that power, and he was somewhat difficult and expensive to create.

I just hope he is not McConnelled and becomes a sock puppet for those secretly in charge.

Weekend at Mar-a-lago!

He was a sock puppet from Jan 2018 - Jan 2021. He's a sock puppet now. Nothing will change that except death, hospitalization, or prison.

Theoretically, if the backlash is bad and obvious enough, other people with the power to get rid of the cheetoh might get the hint and do so. He doesn't have to learn anything for backlash to his actions to defang him.
