Another setback for the Trump regime
Just to remind you people who are hoping for Trump to be removed through impeachment after the midterms. It unfortunately requires 67 senators voting for his removal, which is extremely unlikely. Right now I see 2 maybe 3 republican senators voting with democrats on this. I think you would at least need a democratic majority of 60-40 in the senate after the midterms for it to be remotely likely, because then some other republicans will see it might be detrimental to them to stick with Trump.
I think it will require the AI bubble to burst completely, which I don’t think will happen already this year (not impossible though), then I can see republican support crumble even more.
Just getting a democratic majority in the congress will make it much more difficult for Trump though.

That's a very dangerous calculation to make. Iranians for instance thought this about the Ayatollah compared to the Shah, and look how that went. They thought that in China about Mao compared to Chiang-Kai-Shek, also didn't exactly work out. Cubans thought so about Fidel Castro, see where that lead to? Long story short, never think that somebody won't be as bad and just a less bad replacement, as history shows time and again that they tend to be even worse. |
Then the American people need to kill the old pedophile and the couch fucker.
And considering what happened to Renee Good and Alex Pretti it's time to storm the White House and force the whole administration out.

Another thing to add, when a politician survives an impeachment attempt, it basically means he can do whatever the fuck he wants, because the Senate refused to sanction him.
On a smaller scale, this is why the Texas state government is out of control. Ken Paxton beat a bipartisan impeachment in the GOP-controlled state senate. They basically handed him a blank checkbook to abuse the authority of his office as much as he wants.
The overly convoluted impeachment process needs to be done away with and replaced with holding the confidence of the House of Representatives. Unfortunately that won’t happen without a massive constitutional amendment that will never make it in the South.

My opinion on the Irani conflict: the theocratic wing of the government is terrible and has to go. But Trump is not the one to do it. That would be counterproductive
If Trump attacks, he’ll likely not take down the government let alone the regime. The result will be (similar to last time he attacked them, and other times the US took action) an increase in pro-theocracy support among the people. The revolts will die back for years to come, and the regime will grow stronger. And probably with a more pro-Moscow sentiment, since Putin is playing the saviour.
The best way to deal with it is to let the Iranian people solve Iran. But every time they get close, “the mighty US comes to help!” They fail, and Iran just slips back into a more pro-theocratic state. And this keeps getting repeated.
Either this is intentional, or every US President since Carter outside of Obama and George HW is that damn incompetent. To be fair on Carter, he was the first to react to the Revolution, but his actions had bad results. And to be fair to Clinton, I don’t know a lot about Clinton/Iran and haven’t really thought about it.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
