If Trump is not removed, things are going to get more and more crazy. We will be living the movie 1984.

(6,377 posts)The constitution dictates that at noon on Inauguration Day, the president-elect becomes the president. Trump becomes a private citizen and if he chooses not to leave, he will be forcibly removed by the Secret Service, who are loyal to the office of the presidency.

If I were a General, I would order my troops to be instructed in the Constitution. After all. that's what we swore to defend. Trump, himself, isn't going to take his tiny hands and shoot the lot of us. He'll count on the Generals to do it. And remember, he wouldn't go to war with them. Just saying. But, he won't find out until he orders them to shoot the Secret Service whether they will or won't do it.
IF we win, and IF we can get him out, he WILL run a very powerful and disruptive "resistance" and win the nomination for 2024 if we can't find the will and courage to hold him accountable for his endless array of illegal actions.

Republicans don't care about truths, just money and power any means necessary. As Nancy P quoted . . .
"He will impeach himself" done. Now for removal.
More ugly information is forthcoming.

(16,616 posts)That seems like a good sign. But as a DUer up this thread said, I worry about if Trump is re-elected. That would put Ukraine in a terrible bind, because their leaders don't currently seem to be on board with the Trump administration. Four more years of Trump could seriously change things.

(6,573 posts)let's have their President come and testify against Trump. He'd make a good witness. They said he wasn't afraid...I think he was...but he made some deal with Russia since then. Let him now come and tell the American people all about Donnie Two Scoops' quid pro quo.
