This is probably a dumb question, but when Trump lies so much to the point of ruining our counrtry

[mtnsnake]

isn't there some way of forcing him to sit in court or in front of Congress to see if he will stand by those same exact lies under oath? I mean, isn't there some way to get him to either stop with his fucking lies or face perjury charges in a court of law?

1. Evidently not.

5. Ironic response. In essence you're saying evidence proves that nothing can be proven with evidence.

 
?

6. Irony intended. The ONLY thing that can be done regarding...

...a "wayward" president is impeachment. Which just begs more irony.

2. It's times like this I wish we had a process like the British Parliment

in our case, instead of the Prime Minister standing before Parliment answering questions, the President would be in front of the House. OR instead of the State of the Union being some prepared speech, it's a joint session of Congress to grill the president.

3. even if he ever were subpoenaed, he'd just say "i don't remember"

or "my lawyer says not to answer any questions".

well, then again, donnie's stupid enough to ignore his lawyers, so who knows....

4. It's crazy. This is reminding me of what I've read about the Fall of the

Third Reich.

It was obvious to the German people that the war was lost, but Goebbels kept pounding the citizens with news of "secret weapons" that were just about to be unveiled that would save the day. It was definitely a kind of gaslighting, and there were no checks or oversights in place to prevent the onslaught of lies. Many citizens even believed the lies and eventually the (mostly-Nazi) citizens that believed it turned against those who didn't, even in some cases executing people for crimes like "faithlessness" or "lack of belief."

7. It is. It really is that crazy, and that's a good analogy you posted.

This is what happens when there is no way to hold a president accountable even when it's so obvious that he is nothing more than a lying sack of shit who is doing his best to bring this country to ruin just because he lost. And this is supposed to be a democracy when there is no way to hold him accountable?
