#Trump threatens the journalist who reported on the missing of 2 US pilots in #Iran with jail time if they don't reveal their sources

This is really becoming a full on dictatorship

#US #USPol

I totally understand NATO as an alliance is a must but world leaders really should grow a pair and go against #Trump

He is everyone's problem at this point and causing massive despair around the globe

Don't let that orange wannabe dictator walk over us, stand up

Otherwise we will at some point

@stux Everyone seems to assume we'll fix it at our end and I'm not 100% sure if we even can anymore. At the very least it sure would help if the rest of the world was making more of an effort to help those of us who are trying get through to the people who live in blissful ignorance.
@nazokiyoubinbou I have that feeling also, thats why "important" people should stand up and go against him instead of bootlicking

@stux I have a very strong impression that a lot of world leaders are in actual denial about what the current regime ruling over America really is...

They have already committed multiple war crimes. It has only been one year... These people have access to nukes and a man who signs anything they put on his desk with that giant crayon style sharpie...

Licking his boots isn't going to work. He isn't even in control of his own emotions.

@nazokiyoubinbou @stux The vice president and Cabinet need to face facts and declare him incompetent under the 25th Amendment, Section 4.

That would make the vice president the acting president unless the president issues a statement afterwards that he is competent, at which point the powers return to the president.

There's a convoluted method for the VP and Cabinet to appeal should they still believe he's incompetent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-fifth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia

@trebach @stux They're in on it too. Why would they?

Trump is useful to the regime. They need his destructive chaos — his "bull in a china shop" ways — to destroy as much of the Constitution and the rule of law in America as possible. They can't establish a nazi regime overnight and if they had to try to do it right now they may still fail. Vance and co probably couldn't really properly establish the nazi regime they want at this time.

@trebach @nazokiyoubinbou @stux alas the VP, JD, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Peter Thiel and will be a much more dangerous fascist front man. All he has to do, as Vicky Osterweil warned a year ago, is pretend to do a bipartisanship for five seconds and lib/Dem resistance will fold 🙃

@cthon1c @trebach @stux People misunderstand me.

Vance is absolutely 100% fascist. He will continue to be a nazi, but he doesn't have the bull in a china shop, barge in and smash everything ways that Trump has. That is what every single power is unable to handle and what allows them to actually openly break the Constitution so extremely and visibly without consequence.

If enough damage is done by the time he takes over, we're still doomed. But I don't think he can cross the finish line yet.

@nazokiyoubinbou agree, but I was responding to trebach 🙂
@cthon1c Oops. My bad. There was another post in my notifications saying something to the effect of that he was just as bad and I thought this was next to that. I see now it's not.
@nazokiyoubinbou it’s confusing, all the piled-up @‘s

@cthon1c Yep.

I'm not a fan in general, but at times like this when things branch out I almost would like the reddit style.
