| If you haven't had enough yet...Could this be the war that splits MAGA? 22:45 - Mar 4 with 1172 views | WicklowBlue | If do not need enough evidence on a certain administration: https://www.thejournal.ie/read Let me quote some key pieces before you all snuggle up tonight: "Trump, his Chief of Staff observed, “has an alcoholic’s personality. He “operates [with] a view that there’s nothing he can’t do. Nothing, zero, nothing.” "it’s become abundantly clear that Trump’s addiction is fuelled by two cravings: self-enrichment and self-aggrandisement." "he has discovered the raw thrill of siccing the US military on global adversaries – or ‘blowing shit up’ "it provided Trump with a much bigger dopamine hit than cracking the heads of Portland hippies" "Iran is actively developing intercontinental missiles with a range of up to 8,000 km, a claim that has not been verified by US intelligence or military analysts." What a fricking sh1t show... imho. [Post edited 4 Mar 22:45]

I don’t think there’s any doubt about that. That is absolutely where we are. He’s irrelevant really. It’s how the other gangsters react that’s the defining issue. |  |

Agreed! Dont get me wrong as others have stated the Iranian regime is despicable. However the Trump/Netanyahu regimes are leading us into super dangerous times. If there is any crumb of comfort, Trumps threats towards Spain shirley has to again wake the EU up. Been super busy in work today and I have seen Starmer getting pelters but surely he is in a no win situation from my outside pov. The 20th century remaining allies sans US need to stand up against the bullies to stop further descent into another world war? Or is the real power broker here is when China says "hold my beer" enough is enough Or am I being too simplistic? |  | |  |

One would hope if he tried to do something that would lead to a full on world war the generals and his party would reign him in. The republicans did say they would impeach him if he invaded Greenland. That's all hope though, in reality, who knows that would happen. He seems to get away with virtually everything. SB |  | |  |

Not even that noble an aim. Don't forget about the Epstein files thing. |  |

The US constitution was designed by a bunch of 18th century enlightenment rationalists. They couldn't imagine the country would end up with a President having such an irrationally self-centered world view, at the same time so willing to go rogue and upset the balance on everything. They thought they'd made a system which, by separating the arms of government, protected against the absolutism they'd recently fought. What were the chances of all three being subverted simultaneously in a free, democratic society? Or that the provisions they'd carefully crafted would be used to undermine the whole edifice? The problem with a written constitution is it lacks the agile flexibility to cope with shocks (and deliberate attacks, executed with cunning). That is why Trump gets away with everything. There is nothing left to stop him. |  |

Civil war in the United States would stop him. |  |

That required the attempted secession of a cohesive bloc of States, the only time it's really been tried. With State militias having strength and equipment comparable with the national army. Neither of which conditions hold now. Otherwise, all you have is a dispersed and ill-armed insurgency. |  |

Best case scenario is to sit it out and wait for him top die or the next election, whatever comes first. |  |

It won't be ill armed if it is the US Army against Trump and his remaining supporters...but then it would more properly called a military coup. As always with the complex political affairs of North America the common man and ideals matter slightly less than financial strength and the perception of the United States in the wider World |  |

The problem with a military coup is that the upper echelons of the military are thoroughly infested with exactly the sort of people who back Trump. Many of the rest have been purged. Maybe some of the middle-to-lower-ranking officers might have a go. The common man or ideals don't really get a look-in. It's all about the money. |  |
