Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

More and more I find myself saying just do it. I don't mean to be an accelerationist but it might help the world in this case. The more he alienates and isolates the US the better.
I'm kinda with you tbh. At the rate he's going, maybe, just maybe, the frog will realize it's being boiled.
I am completely baffled why he (they) didn't get all their ducks in a row and then go full fascist right after the midterms.
those are next november
They're human, just like the rest of us. I'm sure you struggle with self-control as well, like telling yourself you're not gonna eat any ice cream until the weekend but then you have yourself a bowl on Wednesday.
It's incredibly hard not to do the thing when it's just right there and basically in your possession already.
We can't go back. The only way out is through. The quicker we get started, the quicker it'll be over. There will already be a dire cost to pay; delay only increases that cost.
He needs to add one more fake victory.
All I want in the world is to see this man watch everything he think he had accomplished be utterly destroyed, his name burned from buildings, scorched from history.
I want him to watch his entire family go to prison, real prison. I want him to see his wealth shattered and put to public works dedicated to destroying the type of hate and ignorance he thrives on.
I want justice for his countless victims. The children we know he deflowered and destroyed. The adults whose lives he's broken. For the world he is helping destroy.
And I just want to see him suffer now because of pure spiteful vengeance
Fuck you Donald Trump
I want to see a system where it's impossible for people like him to achieve power
Won’t happen. He’s declining too quickly.
Sadly he won't. He's barely there mentally as he is. He will die and the cowards won't do anything to him before that.
scorched from history.
Wiping away history is how you end up with a repeat of history.
His name should be in textbooks, right next to his misdeeds and the consequences of his rule. It should be taught to every student in high school as a lesson in history, civics, critical thinking, and cult indoctrination.
Nazi Germany is one of the most-studied periods in history, if not the most-studied, but here we are again anyway. Mere education isn't enough.
Well, education in the USA is not exactly great.
The rump admin is full of people who studied the Nazis. They took notes on how to use a radical minority to take over the country.
I don't think they teach this stuff in USA.
Sure they do.
Hitler was a National Socialist, and socialism is bad, so Hitler was bad.
My Tennessee education taught me all I need to know!
Be prepared to be disappointed, I'm afraid.
Don't think that will happen...
I predict that the most along those lines we get will be Trump, on his deathbed, getting a glimpse of a world preparing to forget about him.
Ngl, I wanna give him the Pesci treatment from Casino.
Make him watch first.
Is this like when Idi Amin called himself King of Scotland?
It's possible Idi Amin was less deranged, but otherwise it carries just as much weight. "Sure donnie, let's get you to bed now."
FFS, stop using titles that start like this when its not an obituary
What a moron.
Everyone knows he isn't acting...... /s
