I find it essentially impossible to believe there is a The Thing for the first one. Where things are at now, I can't even imagine what that could possibly be.

The 25th amendment is invoked by the cabinet and the vice president. Those are the people supporting this shit, they aren't going to get rid of him. He's doing what they want and giving them cover.

I would say that the only thing that could convince them to remove him is if he became such a liability that they felt the need to get rid of him out of self-preservation. But honestly, I don't think they have the necessary level of awareness. If anything, I suspect most of them would be more likely to double down on being cartoonishly evil and try to do whatever it takes to cling to power.

Without a change in congress I have no idea what he could possibly do to get republicans to do something. It's literally a cult. He could come to their houses and rape their kids and they'd be out there the next day explaining how this is good for America, actually.

He will never be 25th-ed, he made Dan sure to only pick those with his cock firmly down their throat at all times

That will never happen and short of people showing up with pitchforks and torches or guns and bombs. This will continue. Republicans will continue to whinge and wince publicly. While squealing orgasmicly inward at everything he steals and everyone he hurts.

The only possibility would be for every Republican in this coming midterm to lose their elections. And even that wouldn't guarantee it. Democratic leadership will have to grow a spine as well.

I like to fantasize that all of a sudden, sense will prevail and Trump will immediately be arrested and be very confused

They were commenting on his disregard for consent or even negotiation. He takes what he wants. He "grabs them by the pussy," as it were.

40% too high

That's around 150 million idiots, that want a warmongering criminal pedophile to run the country. Insane.

Go look at past presidents. It’s not like they are typically liked.

Except Obama.

Not really a defense for those 40% but many of them don't know what is going on. There are strong efforts to keep them distracted, lied to and stupid.

Americans can't stop themselves from telling other countries what to even when they want other countries to solve their problems for them.

The US will be stopped but it's gone beyond Trump. It won't be anything flashy to entertain Americans that enjoy watching people die on their screens. It'll be a slow decline and collapse of the USA. American culture has become so toxic to the world that the USA needs to be permanently dismantled. It will take decades, but it needs to be done.

As a Canadian, obviously I would take an help offered, but I do strongly believe that Greenland is where we need to draw the line in the sand. Again, I don't think Trump has the stomach for an actual war. I think he knows how much that would sink his popularity with the people who most strongly support him. A war with Canada would be an especially difficult sell.

I'm not remotely dismissing the possibility that it could happen. Trust me, my wife is in the CAF, she'd be on the front fucking line if it did. There's shit I know that I can't even fucking talk about when it comes to those kinds of conversations. But I think the key here is that he's really looking for quick easy wins. That's Trump's whole mentality. It's all about what you can steal before anyone notices you got away with it. He's a conman and a thief by nature. Greenland is where NATO can show Trump the will to stand up to him, and deny him the easy, cheap wins that he wants. It won't end the threat, but at this point I'm really not sure if anything NATO does can end the threat of the US without a world war. I think the only thing, realistically, that can be done is to buy time for the people in America to get their fucking shit together and end this nightmare.

But on the plus side, the members could start their own alliance named "Now Excluding America Treaty Organization". I way on the plus side because the acronym would spell out "NEATO"

Which means it's the US on one side an the rest of the world on the other

It won't work out this way, no matter what happens.

1. Pacific Rim nations will probably stick with US interests over European interests, because the US is the only thing between them and China (at the moment). Europe doesn't have the global presence or the interest to operate in the Pacific. This includes: Taiwan, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore, the Philippines, etc. Even if the US is showing itself to be a less reliable partner, it is still not (yet) an active threat to their interests the way that China is.

2. Ukraine under Zelensky won't just surrender to Russia and will probably tolerate a lot from the US in order to continue their defense efforts unless they are somehow offered EU membership/protection explicitly. I could see Ukraine breaking ties with the US if it meant joining the EU.

3. The above might give Trump the excuse to say openly that Ukraine "didn't want peace" (via surrendering to Russia) and then declaring open support for Russia in the name of "peace". Then it's an out-and-out US-Russia partnership.

4. China will continue to pretend neutrality, continue to manipulate its rivals into destabilizing, continue using its neighbor countries to export its environmental disasters, and then invade Taiwan. If that doesn't provoke direct conflict with the US, the rest of the Pacific Rim starts to look really vulnerable.

5. South America is... complicated. Obviously a lot of nations like The Dominican Republic and Colombia would side against the US with Venezuela. Argentina wouldn't. Is Venezuela under direct US control/occupation at this point? Brazil is a founding member of BRICS, so they're probably aligning with China and/or Russia, but they'll probably stick to conflict avoidance as much as possible.

6. India might make some public statements of condemnation of imperialistic behavior to score political points, but that would be it. The only way they get involved in any conflict is if China is on the other side (or maybe Pakistan, but that's more complicated).

7. Iran is in so much trouble right now with Tehran being completely out of water, and the internal economic strife. They're still a power in the region, but not really in a position to influence things beyond their borders.

8. Canada won't support US aggressive actions, but will also do almost anything to avoid direct conflict with the US. That's a very difficult position which will produce confusing, noncommittal and seemingly self-contradictory actions and statements.

9. Africa...? No idea, really.

Yeah but once he stops yammering people will forget about him pretty quick.

Weapons

Fall out shelter and tinned goods?

Guns, drones... I guess.

RAM.

Are yall slow or what, why do you still need those files, can’t you put two and two together, you gonna do nothing untill you got every last single file?

No. It's that he thinks this will get the news cycle off the files, which will let him solidify power. It's also that he'll sacrifice as many people as he wants to ensure those files don't get out. He's right too. Old news is dead news. It's that our news, and our politicians by extension, are easily manipulated.

That's what they say, but will they do it? Dunno. Wait until Trump dies and the dems come back in to return it.

I'm more interested in what the rest of the world will do. I have no doubt Greenland will defend itself, but no one really seemed interested in sending troops to help Ukraine when Russia invaded, what would be different in this scenario? I realize technically it's NATO, but it isn't like any of those agreements are bound by laws of nature and most of the people in charge these days seem more interested in whatever is profitable than what is right.

No, no, no. They have the most weapons in the building...

They are just scared, that they could lose what they still have, if they resist.
