Donald Trump has made the office of the president of the United States a joke.
The close proximity of his pudgy little finger to the "red button" inspires fear.
He has crippled our national security.
He has destroyed our children's economic future with his crushing national debt.
He is obviously senile and possibly deranged. If he feels threatened, there is no telling what he might do. And a fair election will almost certainly put his illegal presidency in jeopardy, meaning that he will stop at nothing to stop the election. Many schools are polling places. Do we really want a man who refuses to condemn the NRA and school shooters to be in charge of enforcing the law this fall when the easiest way to shut down the polls will be to encourage homegrown right wing extremists to attack polling places that just happen to also be schools (a real two-fer for the right wing)? Do we?
This is not tin foil. This is not conspiracy theory. Some schools are already closing on election day. They see the writing on the wall, and they don't want to put children in harm's way. But what does it say about our country that the democratic process puts the lives of kids in danger? This is not right.
The Traitor in Chief must go.

(6,373 posts)Even then, we'd just have to cross our fingers that the Republican senators would be willing to convict...and I'm not holding my breath.

(7,725 posts)that favors the GOP. And no, I don't have specifics. these broad brush statements are worrisome considering how much damage he can do in one day. Illegitimate is illegitimate. We don't let illegitimate people dismantle our govt. Saying ALL we can do is sit like pigeons and wait to be picked off does a huge disservice to people who have put serious skin in the game. mho. See my signature line.

(23,920 posts)as you note, he could do any number of things to directly cripple our elections, assuming they are even reflective of popular will at this point.
the Republican congress will not remove him no matter how shameful he becomes.
what's left?
i think the elephant in the room that we prefer not to brush up against is, that miserable incompetent assclown puppet is very likely to be president until 2024. we need to get plans in place to deal with such circumstances on a personal and family level. i'm working on such a plan now, and unfortunately much of it involves emigrating to Canada.

(67,084 posts)coming election, I think it's indicative it's over for the US if enough citizens do not have enough interest to correct the situation in the WH. There are far better places in the world to live than in the US, as the US descends into total Idiocracy.
