9. Because for some reason ...

For some reason they're not reporting my every word. To be fair, I might have blown out their microphones screaming so loudly for his removal and transportation to the Hague. It seems we're unable to provide justice, but the ICJ has practice at this.

Because all "news" media is owned by about 6 corporations subservient to their billionaire masters.
They are America's answer to Pravda.

13. A serious answer to a great question - we cannot expect other countries to solve our internal problems.

I forget who said this ...

"One third of the USA's denizens would willingly kill another third, while the remaining third just watches."

So much hate. He got elected because he gives them scapegoats (immigrants, LGBTQ+, DEI, etc.) on which to focus their hate.

14. My take

What the F are they waiting for? The facts are there. The constitution is there. The rule of law is there. WTF?????

That leaves Congress. Even though some Democrats are seeing some of this as a good thing, the whole damn thing is ILLEGAL. And all the RW losers with no backbone don't help anyone. Trump has consistently ignored the rule of law, and the constitution. That's what built this country. Then, the Supreme Court gave Trump a green light to do whatever the fuck he wants. Why I'll never know. Just like I'll never know why we have not eliminated Citizens United. Gee, ya think maybe "corruptness" comes in here somewhere? It still don't answer why we have every thing we need to prosecute and remove Trump, and no one does a damn thing about it. If someone that matters don't grow some balls and stop this shit, the next 3 years will be hell for everyone. And I mean EVERYONE!

Iraq I and II, and Afghanistan. There is a long history in the US of presidents violating the War Powers Act, and Congress has not tried to claw back their constitutional authority.

If you look at X, and it's not just those on the right. Trump did it precisely to raise his popularity and distract from his pedophilia.

18. I'd take a guess

That there are all sorts of huddles and discussions going on in DC even as I type. Maybe the Dems are too stupified to comment or maybe they are formulating a united approach.

Either way I hope someone speaks up soon.
