Comment on Gimme some evidence that anyone at all in the government is pushing back on Trump with any effectiveness at all. Someone throw me a bone here. 😬

  I doubt this to the point I would bet money against it if I could.

  Did you not see that a proposal to amend the constitution for 3 terms was ACTUALLY proposed by a Congressperson from TN?

    The republicans do not have enough of a majority in either house to get that through.

    I sincerely doubt they are going to convince a third of the Dems to support it either

      Remember that you’d have to get at least 38 state legislatures to ratify it as well. Getting any amendments passed in the modern day is a whole circus in and of itself, and I highly doubt there’s enough political capital to get such an obviously targeted amendment (since the candidate in question would’ve had to have two nonconsecutive terms - meaning this applies to Grocer Cleveland and Donald Trump) passed.

  I’m beginning to think this term is more about Vance more than Trump. At least, that’s the plan by those behind Trump.

  Let Trump go mad and do everything evil at a hundred miles an hour, which is what’s underway. Create utter chaos and make it impossible for anyone to draw breath and structure a defence. Then when the country finally pushes back (Maybe after about year) and he’s impeached, slip in JD Vance as a more moderate leader and everyone will be so grateful the Republicans secure several terms by turning against and blaming everything on Trump.

  I could be wrong. Anyone making predictions in this chaos is guessing.

  Are you un-ironically suggesting that impeachment is actually a viable check on a US president?
