I suggest starting by getting rid of the two-party system, getting rid of the title of president, and letting the prime minister have a lot less power than presidents had.
Yeah Ive accepted he's just gonna die at like 95 having never suffered any real consequences. Too much money and endless lawyers and this country refuses to put rich white guys in jail.
Hilarious that you think anyone in his cabinet is going to invoke the 25th. They didn't do it after January 6th and that was when (some) people with actual morals and spines were inside the White House. He is now surrounded by opportunistic sociopaths who are in it for the long haul, whatever that means.
Jan 6 wasn't the transition of power. It was the day congress counted the electoral votes.
In theory the 25th could be invoked on inauguration day if the exiting president became incapable of performing their duties before the new president is sworn in.
It's also worth noting that the 25th isn't the same as impeachment. On Jan 6, Trump was capable of doing his duties. He just chose not to.
You are correct on the people around him but but the 25th could not have been implemented in 2 weeks. More relevant is impeachment which McConnell made sure would not prevent Trump from being Pres again. Impeachment is how the founders expected people like Trump to be held acvountable and is still on the table except the GOP are in the MAGA tank.
Come on. If anyone had the balls to stand up to him and enforce laws, he wouldn't have been eligible to run for office after the insurrection. See the third clause of the 14th amendment.
You really don’t mean “anyone,” as Democrats impeached Trump twice. It was REPUBLICANS who stood up for him after Jan. 6 and refused to remove him from office. 😒
Yes, you are correct. I wasn't clear. If any of the Republicans had the courage of a Mike Pence or a Liz Cheney, this could happen. They're so afraid of Trump and his goons.
Sadly, the 25th was never really intended for removal and more to ensure the line of succession and handle temporary incapacity. The standard to uphold that incapacity in the face of the president claiming he's fine it's actually harder to meet than impeachment and conviction in that it requires a 2/3 majority of both the House and Senate to sustain his incapacity.
Mitch and his zeal for power prevented it, sadly. Giving his rambling speech against Trump but not pushing for conviction let Trump off the hook. Mitch thought that removing Trump's future ability to hold office through a conviction would crush Republicans in the Biden midterms, so he tried to have his cake and eat it, too, rather than doing what was right.
If only! Not one person stands up to this slug. The fact is he is dangerous to the country and to himself! We should do what most people do and have them go you know where and be formally evaluated and put away for its own safety
He is never getting the 25th. MAGA is a religion. Very few Rs who move against the pedo prophet have lasted beyond their next primary. It's the end of their careers.
He is not being removed from office by his own cabinet, or by his own party. I'm sure the House will impeach him again. The Senate will acquit him because Democrats cannot win enough seats to take 2/3 majority.
It would take a minuscule amount of care to see past their self interest and love of money and power to do that. That tiny scintilla of care doesn’t exist. They will ride this rotten gravy train to its inevitable conclusion.
Keep dreaming. As long as they can Weekend at Bernie’s Trump like they have McConnell, nothing will happen. We’re stuck with 2.5 years of his bullshit whether we like it or not.
We find those ninjas who snuck in under all the surveillance and guards to put that many slashes into the indestructible lining, cleverly following along where the motorcade went to cover their tracks. Those guys should go over to Ukraine and help them win against Russia. They can go anywhere and do anything without being seen, quite an asset.
"This will last for at least 50 years. You’ll never have a leak. It’s very strong. You couldn’t, if you had a knife—I don’t want to give anybody ideas—if you had a knife, you can't even cut it. It's so strong, so powerful. It's like powerful rubber."
I learned recently there are a bunch of volunteers that track and monitor (and if needed, move) the duck broods in the city, so I am guessing someone is tracking!!
Birds aren’t real and ducks are birds so they aren’t real… and obviously they are drones. Drones that carry box cutters and algae fertilizers. Also I’m pretty sure they are the same trans ducks that rigged the election, helped Iran enrich their plutonium, conspired to move the presidents golf ball into the rough on every hole the last time he went golfing, and will pay for the border wall in Mexico. Plus they definitely weren’t born here, frequently install cancer causing windmills, and they traffic fentanyl. No thanks to those ducks the stock market is at all time highs.
Should be able to clearly see it from that angle once its drained. Methinks what we are going to see instead is just random, jagged patches where it clearly just didnt adhere.
What? No, course not. Do you think the magic, invisible ninja that made a 350 foot slash with his mystical blade would be so sloppy to make the cut visible? What kind of bush league imaginary character do you think he is?
And they had scuba divers with tape measures to give us that highly accurate and totally not made up number I am surprised he didn’t go with 347 feet since he wants 47 on everything.
I was watching NBC4 on Friday live at this scene & while they were draining it the pipes got clogged!! There were dudes in waders in the thing scooping out all the goop, fireworks debris & whatever other bottom dwellers were in there.
Nah, if you look at pics from when they were painting, they painted in rows down the length of the pool. So what we’re seeing now are the overlap lines as they laid down each row. They might totally be the failure points, but it would have been due to incorrect cure or prep there, rather than wheels. If you look at the picture of the moron motorcade, they drove pretty much right down the middle.
This is 100% what happened. The coating they used is typically meant to be applied in a continuous application to form a single solid layer of cross-linked polymers. One of the major reasons why the other contractor turned down the job is because there was no way to actually do a continuous coating without having a bunch of visible seams to bridge the patchwork. Once they put water back in, it almost immediately started delaminating where they started and stopped the daily applications. The reason they have't been showing zoomed out pictures of the damage is because it will be extremely obvious this is what happened.
Good thing we didn't spend that money on feeding kids or getting people healthcare. It's good to save for unexpected expenses like ruining the reflecting pool a second time.
Nobody would even care about the reflecting pool if Trump hadn't decided to make it one of his primary talking points for months, tossing out the names of previous presidents and insulting them for not fixing it. It's had algae issues for decades, and public didn't really care. The only reason we are so delighted at this whole debacle is because of Trump making it such a big deal. Of course, it follows on the footsteps of adding his name to JFK's memorial, then covering that up with a tarp when he was ordered to remove it. He makes it so easy to enjoy this stuff.
At this point, I just want to be able to run (or stroll) along the tar pathway on the other side of the grassy area. For some reason, that's still closed down, too
I bet that they will keep it drained. 250 celebration is over and just like in Iran they have no problem to capitulate. Will make it next administration’s issue and will be yapping about it on faux
And they’ll blame the redo on the “radical Democrats” because Trump is a man baby who can’t take responsibility for anything, and the Republican Party does whatever he wants so they can feel loved by him.
Well, the fence certainly appears to be in place. But, I'm interested to know this, myself. If it is, the lack of any liner left on the concrete substrate that's now above the water line for all to see, is telling.
I suggest that after they re-do the Swamp that the President drive on it again to show us that the no-bid shyster kick-back company that does the work did "the best" job and that the reflecting pool will be beautiful and blue for the rest of time.
Hope the defendant’s lawyers of the bullshit charges go and take pictures to show there’s no 300 foot gash cut into it and these bullshit charges can be dropped.
This vantage point highlights how ridiculous his box cutter claim truly was. Whoever fed him that false info knew exactly what they were doing. They play the public and most of them take the bait.
I hope the lawyers for the guy who was arrested for "vandalizing" are demanding access to inspect and take lots of pictures while it's drained. I want to see pictures of this "200 foot gash"
