I bet you could make a kids book, A thru Z, on all the different reasons he should be impeached.

If "Impeached" was a TV series, he's the Box Set.

And he wouldn't be removed, just like both times before. Why does he care?

And convicted and hanged in the National Mall.

Media should start asking this question to everyone in this fucking administration:

"Will the Epstein Files be released before or after the midterms elections are cancelled?"

I was super confused who is they

Fun fact, the word for this is "preterition," which I learned in my Latin class.

Little late, innit?

I think we're well past impeachment as a punishment.

I think there's a quote out there like "violence is never the answer... until it is." Something like that. Violence sucks, but everyone believes in its use. Whether that's cops using it to "maintain order" or "terrorists" using it for political reasons (these are the same thing in my opinion) everyone agrees there are times where it's needed. Every person will have a different limit, but I don't believe there's anyone out there who's rational who actually believes it isn't a tool that needs to be utilized at some point.

They might try, butbim not so sure how well it would go. States control elections, so it would be individual red states (or more correctly, states run by republicans) who would "cancel elections". But those are also the statea full of people who demonstrated they are willing to storm capitals over election shenbanigans (i truly belive most of the jan 6ers really were convinced that the election was stolen bless their hearts).

Since day like -500 by my count

Being shocked by something obvious to everyone else is the American superpower.

Trump owns the agencies, the national guard, the military and supreme court. All these parts of the power structure have been conditioned to do as he says. And we've already seen how he uses them illegally, even openly with ICE.
Trump doesn't give a shit about the law, he will make some insane excuse and call martial law.
Trump has not been seriously resisted yet, how can you claim that Trump or Vance taking power is not an option?

Fuck yeah, this is the energy i want my politicians to have. You should run for something, i'd vote for you.

Same, and it legitimately scares me that I was not as ‘stunned’ at this prospect as the article thinks I would be..

There's still time

They all want it more than anything. He'll be a martyr, this will give them a justification to tighten the grip on power and finally complete the authoritarian transformation of the country.

We don’t cancel elections in the US. Even for war. A full-scale invasion of the mainland might be enough to try it, but some piddling foreign “special military operation” isn’t going to cut it.

We've KNOWN for a while, and have opposed it but the apathetic voted him back in. They're so coy about what they're doing like we didn't see it a million miles away.

It's nearly impossible to rig Congressional elections. There are over 400, and they are in little districts all over America. The best way to do it is to gerrymander as hard as possible, which is what they were doing when Trump was trying to get all the states to redraw their district maps.

But that backfired when California passed a law allowing them to redraw their districts, adding several Democratic seats, while most of the MAGA plans got shot down in court.

He can't allow the House to flip Democrat, and it's already super close, within a couple of seats. It won't take much to flip. In fact, so many MAGAs are retiring, dying, and getting sick, that some are predicting that the House may flip BEFORE the election takes place.

If the House flips, the Dems will take control of investigative committees with full subpoena and arrest powers. They may not be able to get the DoJ to go after MAGA corruption, but they can just do the job themselves.

And while we are rightfully disgusted at how feckless Dems have been in the past, they did put Bannon and Ron Varo in jail for defying Congressional subpoenas. They were very short sentences, but nobody wants to spend a single day in prison. IF they get the House back, they are likely to be far more aggressive this time, especially without a sitting President to protect, and a highly righteously indignant voter base.

If the House flips, then the Dems get two years to demonstrate their new willingness to fight MAGA to the death, and hopefully turn out in enormous numbers in the 2028 Presidential election. It's the best shot we have to get this country back, and crush MAGA, once and for all.

If they can take both chambers, they can literally END Trump's legislative agenda, and pass laws to restrict much of his corruption. MAGAs are already starting to vote against him - enough crossed over to restrict his ability to use the military in Venezuela, and it really pissed him off. Even MAGA is seeing the writing on the wall, and starting to soften a bit, hoping to not die in front of a firing squad.

And Trump knows all that. He can't allow the Dems to gain even a single chamber of Congress, or he and his henchmen are screwed, and the consequences are going to be life in prison. He can't successfully rig the election, and it's already shaping up to be a historical bloodbath, so his only option left is to just cancel elections for the first time in American history. He HAS to do it, his freedom, and life, and his fortune, depend on it.

So this isn't a joke, or trolling, or anything but desperate necessity speaking. He's definitely going to try it, but suspending elections is a BRIGHT RED LINE, that must not be crossed under ANY circumstances. Without elections, the Constitutional/ Social contract has been broken, America no longer exists, and we are in a Civil War.

Besides, elections are a state-managed process. What if "suspends"elections, and the Red states honor his demand, but the Blue state go ahead and have their elections anyway? What's going to happen when all those freshly minted Democratic Congressional Reps show up in DC to take their seats, some of which may be occupied by MAGAs? We've already seen Mike Johnson keep a Dem out of her legal office for months, just because her single vote was the deciding vote to release the Epstein Files. What are the chances that Johnson just allows this new crop to be sworn in, and his Speakership removed? Especially when Trump demanded it.

Buckle up, this is going to be a wild year.

The lake ain't big enough for all of em

Yes

They were using nuclear option as a metaphor.

Here, I found it:

“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.”

FTA:

"He then casually suggested the nuclear option.

“I won’t say cancel the election, they should cancel the election because the fake news will say ‘he wants the elections canceled. He’s a dictator.’ They always call me a dictator,” a grinning Trump said."
