The Official "Damned Trump" Thread: Phase II

Yep, me too... it may even be enough to get me to vote for him next election.

Might as well. The guy’s practically a walking corpse as it is.

What do you mean by that?

It seems no one has the guts to stand up to Trump, which leaves me thinking the only thing we can hope for is him eating one McD's too many.

That likely would be the best scenario for everyone involved, including for Trump himself if he wants to be remembered well by anyone. He could exit before he gets even worse.

I am astonished by how many members of Congress have just rolled over.  Some of them talk a good talk but no one is really doing a thing other than talking.

I have read opinion pieces suggesting that there isn't much motivation among congressional Democrats to impeach Trump again even if they retake the House in the midterms. Simply put, without enough votes in the Senate, it would be a waste of time.

Nevertheless, Democrats taking control of Congress again could prevent further damage to the U.S. until Trump is finally gone for good.

In the meantime, only judges and the people themselves can hope to keep him in line with the laws, through their judgments and demonstrations.

^ I was amazed to hear this from Starmer.

And, yes, I hope a greasy glob of Big Mac lodges in the tangerine shitgibbon's craw and he succumbs before medical help arrives, or only enough to incapacitate him further. Apologies to tangerines. And gibbons.

Unfortunately, this is not going to change the situation in the US at all. I checked some US polls about upcoming mid-term elections, and still 40-49% of voters would actively vote for the insanity we are witnessing.

There are enough latent fractures in the Republican right, and no one with the charisma to hold them together once Trump exits stage left.

I hope i am wrong, seriously. The last thing i want to see is Thump Jr. being put in harms way by people like this, over nonsense like that.

I've wondered about this for a while, but do most people (especially Americans, since they have the clearest view of it) think that most people that voted Trump are still happy with that decision, after they've seen all he's done, or do they just stick with him... supporting him... to double down or save face? I have no idea but I can't say I've seen many ordinary people speaking up for him. ETA: Sorry, this post has nothing to do with Deesse's post, or any other post really, we just happened to post at nearly the exact same time. This is just something general I've been wondering about for a long time, but never looked into.

What do you mean by that?

I mean he’s in very poor health and I expect him to snuff it sooner rather than later.

But you're talking about Trump, right? I was talking about Starmer (I've edited the main post a bit earlier to make that clearer)... as in saying I might vote for Starmer because of his standing up to Trump (because I'm British not American). I think we might have got our lines crossed is what I'm saying, unless you meant Starmer was in poor health, but if so I never knew anything about that. Sorry anyway, doesn't matter.

A lot of independents voted for Trump, but he's significantly underwater with them now.
