Well, a civilization died tonight.

It was ours. Congress didn't step up and stop him. No one in power invoked the 25th Amendment to remove him. We failed, utterly, as a civilization.

Muting the thread. Tired of hot takes.
@realtegan abject failure. Thats us.

@realtegan the law will not save you, just like it did not save us.

#weComeFromYourFuture🇻🇪

@realtegan spineless cowards, nothing more.
@realtegan The man is an embarrassment to the nation and himself.
@realtegan yes, the Republican party is completely in favor of the Republican agenda being carried out by the Trump regime.
@realtegan save the disappointment for the midterms, when nothing changes, just more grift and obfuscation
@realtegan Sorry to tell you, but the US have not been a civilized country for quite a while now. I'd say the downfall started with George W. Bush ending human rights for "security", but Trump 2.0 accelerated it massively. And of course Congress won't step up. They represent the people, and the people wanted this guy (about 30% of voters or were at least fine with him (the 40% who did not bother voting).

America has democratically chosen to become Russia.
@divVerent @realtegan yes anyone born after 1980 has lived with this reality their entire lives.
@criticalangle @divVerent @realtegan Yup. We've been bleeding out since 9/11.
@divVerent the country is built on genocide and slavery
@31113 And also founded before the French Revolution. No Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité in the US yet.
@realtegan and all of that because americans didn't wanted to vote for Harris

"Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) announced he has filed articles of impeachment to remove Donald Trump from office as the President becomes more unhinged and risks the lives, safety, and security of the American people. Larson is also calling for the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment as Trump escalates his illegal war and threatens to annihilate an entire civilization." https://larson.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/larson-files-articles-impeachment-calls-25th-amendment-trump-becomes h/t @[email protected] #uspol #Trump #impeachment

@realtegan

You mean: "Tonight I finally realized that we have failed as a civilization" ?

Because surely electing a criminal, pædophile rapist to president a second time would not convince you ?

@realtegan reaffitming the need to intervene more quickly!
@realtegan I have to stop you here - america is not THE civilisation. YOU, Americans, failed. When a potential autocrat, with ties to russia won elections in my country - we used the tools of democracy to throw him out and probibit him from ever trying that again… YOU, elected yours for the second time…So, no, civilisation has not died yesterday - american myth has. Now quit bitching online - organise and go to the streets and fix this shit.
sorry not sorry.

@realtegan

It wasn't last night that America stopped being a serious country. It was when you elected a lunatic for the second time knowing what he was like.

America will never have the world standing ever again to tell any other country what they can and can't do.

America's vote for Trump not only endangered your country but it endangered the world. That will never be forgiven!

@realtegan at this point I don't even wanna know anymore what trump pulled this time but I've been saying for weeks now that you need to take a page from the french. Specifically a guillotine related page.

For the first time the conservatists see their error and you guys need to organize and take power back by force and clean up the swamp from all the corruption.

I feel like the wind is right just about now.

@realtegan This exposes the entire GOP for what it is, a bunch of out of control bullies, murderers, and thugs. Absolutely disgusting.
@jaye
Until when shall the world suffer from those murderes, bullies and thugs?
@michaelormsby
What then will happen another 250years from now if this doesn't change?
