#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
You will have to fix it at your end. Article 25. Or wait for his demise (Praise be Allah!)

In the meantime, King Charles and King Alexander will join MBS in kissing his *ss.
@stux

@pietkuip @stux Then humanity is over.

We had a good run I suppose.

@nazokiyoubinbou @pietkuip What happens if the mid term goes super duper mega ultra badly for Trumpet?
@stux @pietkuip What happens if there is no mid-term?

@nazokiyoubinbou @pietkuip For funs sake, let's say there is and he gets "voted out"

What does that mean?

@stux @pietkuip That is very very hard to answer. Vance is part of the nazi regime and he will cooperate, but he doesn't have that force of destruction Trump has. The biggest question then is: how much will have been done by that point? If they've already fully destroyed the Constitution in every meaningful way by then it may be too late. They might arrest any Democrats who win and have them shot. It's all contingent on how things go until then.
@stux @pietkuip I still think the best case scenario is if Trump's age and lack of health finally get to him right now. ASAP... Like I said, I just don't think Vance has it in him to keep this momentum going. And I definitely don't think he'll be as gleeful about committing war crimes and such... I think if the midterms turned things around a Democratic legislative branch might at least keep things from going to a full blown nazi regime.

@stux @nazokiyoubinbou @pietkuip

Well, that can't happen because the midterms aren't a presidential election.

The next (US) presidential election is 2028

@alex @stux @pietkuip I would presume this means if Congress and the Senate both turned Democratic and thus impeached and removed Trump.

@nazokiyoubinbou @stux @pietkuip

That could happen before 2028 if the 25th Amendment isn't invoked instead. (that's the one where you have to prove he's batshit crazy - not hard to do)

What to Know About the 25th Amendment as Lawmakers Call for Trump’s Removal

The President’s open threat to Iran of what could constitute war crimes has led some to call for his Cabinet or Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Time

@alex @stux @pietkuip Right, presumably if Republicans lost power over the US in November Democrats would vote to impeach and then remove Trump. Presumably.

Assuming we haven't reached the point they just get shot for being "enemies of the state" by then.
