Not sure what but it seems like change is in order. Something just isn't right somehow.
Just a feeling.

Ilsa
(64,366 posts)There is a tension that has been building. Something feels like it is going to break wide open. If it doesn't destroy his presidency, it might drive him (more) mad.
at the receiving end..
.he has a lot revenge in him. But if he strikes us we may have to strike back...
.you can interpret that any way you would like.
I keep on thinking how at the night of his inaugural ball he so called dance to Frank Sinatra's My Way, think of the lyrics.

(68,198 posts)We never had that feeling with obama. But trump seems to be on the edge of something bad happening to him. Maybe it's just a weird kind of wishful thinking...
GoCubsGo
(34,911 posts)I worry the something is going to happen to us, instead. Something on the lines of a 9/11-level event. He's batshit crazy, and the walls are closing in on him and many of those with whom he surrounds himself. I wouldn't put it past them to either stage something, or let it happen as the Busheviks did with the Sept. 11th attack. Especially with what SHOULD be a tidal wave election coming up.
But, he's pissed off a lot of the wrong people, including many in the CIA and military. They're really getting fed up, maybe to the point where someone is going to take him out. Of course, his arteries could beat them to it. I am surprised he hasn't had a stroke by now.

(60,159 posts)followed by martial law and canceled elections.
Because that is exactly what I would do when Putin whispers it, and who should know more about that than Putin?
It was the smug way he talked about "maybe I will President for years, you never know" right after Putin's "elections" set him up for life.
Heard that and my mind said "oh-oh"...
Eyeball_Kid
(7,604 posts)that a faction of the IC is on Trumpys side. Hes pretty much gotten the entire crew pissed off at him. You dont want to get them REALLY pissed off. Some of them are experts in the dark arts and you dont want to get them too aggravated.
Regardless of what does or doesnt happen, the IC, I think, has powers that Trumpy cant imagine. And yet theyre the underdogs in this dynamic. Thats not good for the top dog.

Hortensis
(58,785 posts)BannonsLiver
(20,593 posts)But Id say Im more focused on them than worried. Increasingly Im getting the feeling that if we want him gone its going to have to happen the old fashioned way by removing him ourselves via elections. The first step of that process begins in November. I just dont think a sudden health event, Mueller or a resignation for some other reason are going to be what does it.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)what another 2-1/2 years of Trump would do to our nation, though. At some point the damages, domestic and foreign, are going to mount and genuinely hurt more people, not just those like the Kochs who are already estimating their losses. Still, could a reshuffling of congressional power stabilize things enough for him to stay?
My best guess is still that Trump will be forced to resign by both parties acting in concert, at some point after Democrats get control of at least the house. Republican leaders would be able to unload most of the political burden on Democrats. This would presumably be precipitated by the results of the Mueller investigation and/or alarming actions by Trump.
In any case, agree the next step begins in November. If we fail to get enough power in congress to stop them, SCOTUS might end the Mueller investigation, the DoJ might smother the findings, Trump and congress would continue the dismantling of liberal progressive government, and SCOTUS might reinterpret the constitution and voting laws to replace liberalism with social conservatism and transfer power from the people to an authoritarian executive and and senate filled from our new ruling classes.

(20,896 posts)Truml's relationship to Putin and the Russian Oligarchs he owes millions to could be one reason.

(34,911 posts)It will just be a matter of who/what gets to him first. Will it be the CIA, a military coup, Putin's mafia, a stroke/heart attack? Or, some well-armed rube, who realized he is being screwed over by this guy?

(6,262 posts)Or only able to gargle "confeve! " at an eternally switched on MSNBC. Also his arms and hands would be so compromised that he could only wave them around like the guy he cruelly made fun of. Then, no twitter or golf for him. He would be alive, but constantly enraged with no ability to respond. And oh yeah, Putin would call in his money and he would be totally broke.

(15,368 posts)There have been speculation about his sanity and health since the inauguration. None have been proven. Nothing but "noise?"
"I wish..." and " hope...." accomplish nothing.
Lets focus on the harm he sas, and will cause and what we can do about it.
