    I’m sure the CIA has a heart attack gun. If they really wanted rid of him they could be rid of him.

    I suppose the problem really is he’s a symptom rather than the cause. Getting rid of trump doesn’t do anything about the Republicans who allowed this to happen in the first place and were totally okay with it even when he started killing people.

    Unless America deals with those people the possibility of returning to a trump like regime always exists.

    It’s why Europe no longer trusts the United States, even if a Democrat replaces trump there’s no guarantee that things won’t go back to the way they are now in four years time. That is not an ally that can be relied upon.

      Yes, but he’s a symptom of Neoliberal Capitalism, which is a bipartisan disease. Clinton ending Welfare as we knew it is just as much responsible for Trump as Reagan gutting unions.

      The problem is Vance can’t have 2.49 terms yet.

      As soon as he can, trump will either die or be 25thed

      Yep, we’d need to undo Citizens United, arrest/disband the entirety of the Heritage Foundation, expand the Supreme Court seats, set term and age limits for all politicians/officials seeking office, and that’s just the bare fucking minimum.
