Not content with launching a costly and disastrous war on Iran, Trump has unveiled a new plan to pay for it by further slashing domestic programs that keep Americans economically afloat. His new 2027 budget document is effectively a political suicide note.

      And he’ll be replaced by JD Vance, whose leash is held by Peter Theil. Even in the best of circumstances, with a bloodbath victory in the Midterms, we’ll have two more years of Hell to get through, before we have any chance of a real change. And since it will be their last gasp, they are going to fight it with everything they’ve got.

        I don’t see how Vance doesn’t navigate getting immediately impeached for one of the dozens of illegal things Trumps admin was and would still be doing.

      25th won’t hold. The way the law is written seems to only apply to physical incapacitation. As soon as Trump delivers a statement saying he’s fine and presents himself he’d be president again. I suspect the Supreme Court would also support this literal interpretation. The amendment does not work well with mental decline unfortunately.

      He must be impeached and removed from office by Congress.

      He’s not the problem, he’s the hand puppet who is doing a very good job of being a clown. Don’t be a sucker!

      Check out the Council of Foreign Relations and The Heritage Foundation, for starters, and their memberships (often shared), and who they pay to do what and when; then, have fun examining their financiers. This is an international operation with tentacles in many countries, and many different interests that collude for agreed-upon goals.

      Look at Panama and Pandora Papers for more information, terabytes of data that are still being investigated by independent journalists.
