Look at that, another impeachable offense! Let's add it to the pile
He's been impeached, twice.
Yes, but that hasn't stopped him
Impeachments mean nothing without a conviction.
yeah, that's my point
Wait, so he doesn't just want his name plastered everywhere, he also wants to collect royalities for the usage of his name? I must commend him for being this brazenly corrupt. It's a good litmus test for Democrats. If they refuse to prosecute Trump like the traitor that he is, they are not up to the task of pushing back MAGA, returning sanity to the US and healing the nation.
The Democrats already had four years to prosecute and convict this sack of shit. South Korea prosecuted and sentenced their former president in just 12 months. I don't expect anything from them this time around other than a PR slap on the wrist.
We need other parties but this country's elections are so fucked already we are only ever going to get two options of completely corporate-captured parties.
Hence the quote attributed to Emma Goldman
If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal.
It's not like they are not trying though.
Your best bet, and that is tiny, but is still there, is to fill the Democratic party with Bernie Sanders-types and the like. AOC may run for president. She probably won't win, but she is a more progressive candidate than your typical centrist democrat. And it all started with her getting elected in New York. Talarico vs Crockett is the next opportunity to elect a more progressive candidate with Talarico.
Our best bet would be to collectly stop believing the lies of the DNC and start a new party that minimizes or forbids lobby from corporate goons.
But the capture of the two party system is very strong and any talk about that gets self-policed by well intentioned folks. The DNC propaganda is strong. I'm all for minimizing harm in the moment, but the harm of the status quo is building to many many decades of past "we have to vote DNC one more time" moments. And with climate catastrophy here already what harm are we minimizing? If there isn't a future for our descendants due to corporate-caused climate change catastrophe, then what are we even fighting for?
The Democrats already had four years to prosecute and convict this sack of shit
The Democrats would require a two-thirds supermajority in the Senate to convict without at least some Republican senators. They have not had that and are unlikely to get that.
Its because he's just been sticking his name and plated gold onto crap for decades. His brand is all he has, but someone doesn't seem to realise how radioactive it is.
Like hell am I, a european, flying into DJT. I'd rather fly through JFK and catch clap from a toilet seat.
Watch him mandate that all intercontinental flights must go through DJT.
I mean, in reality I wont be flying to the US until some major reforms are made, shits wack and dangerous as fuck.
For many now, mentally, the united states is in the same bucket as casual travel to russia, somalia or north korea.
I name my shits after trump every single day.
I’m inaugurating a new Trump right now
Taking a triumphant trump right now.
I got a double flusher trump over here
Ah yes, the king trump. Mightiest of trumps.
Hey, you wouldn't pirate a Trump!
He should trademark his ability to put more and more taxpayer money into his personal coffers.
I also want to see DJT and Donald J. Trump International Airport graffitied everywhere now, just to fuck with him. Mentions in songs and of course social media.
That may be counterproductive, see: https://www.commondreams.org/views/2016/12/14/president-reject-dont-say-his-name and https://stallman.org/glossary.html (under "the troll")
Ah, 2016. Those were the days. It was all new and fresh and we never thought the USA would get to this point. The troll of yore is a dicktater now.
Looks like he is getting Palm Beach Airport, which is fitting.
Do you reckon he thinks that there are imnectarines as well?
imnectarines???
It's a joke about impeachment
ah, I guess my non-natively English-speaking brain didn't catch that
It's cool, my brain doesn't speak either
