        The rest of the list are not slam dunk charges against being president, but violation of emoluments is. I don’t understand how Trump is still in power.

          Doesn’t matter which ones are illegal or indictable. It’s about decency. Most of these just prove he is a horrible human being that shouldn’t be able to win any election anywhere.

          His political career should have been over about 10 minutes after it started. Just proves how many Americans are horrible human beings. And I say that as an American. We’ve lost our way.

            I agree, but I’m making the exact opposite point. No matter who is in the office of the president, it should be obvious when to apply the emoluments clause and remove them.

      Which was the earliest one of them all. It was before the election in 2016. When his supporters doubled down on it, and some of his female cultists began wearing “Trump can grab me by the pussy” t-shirts, then that was when I started realising that this was something quite different which didn’t work by the normal rules.

    At this point, I’m not blaming this orange blob completely.

    Part of the blame is the American people who just accept all this as normal.

      Most of the blame should be on the heritage foundation who is coordinating all of this.

      Not for nothing, but as abnormal as this is, it’s all working within the system. Or, at least, the system is complicit.

    Shit before 2016 it should have been over. The writing was on the wall even then and people thought we were being melodramatic or reactionary.

    What about trying to extort Ukraine into fabricating dirt on his political opponents.

          jeez. that’s a lot of ai slop just to say “you were right”.

          and to make things clear, i am absolutely not defending orange cheeto, i am saying it is useful to focus on a stuff that is clearly proven. because once you start including “maybe” accusations into your list, it is easy to discredit your criticism.

    Never forgive Republican voters. There are no good ones, they aren’t friends, they aren’t family. I’d say they were dead to me if they weren’t already something worse than dead. They’re fascists.

      Yeah there was some dude on npr the other day talking about how he finally “left maga” and he regrets stuff now. But like you were a full adult and loving this shit. I’m sure he’s fed up with trump specifically but I also think he’ll get right on board with the next big bully asshole because that’s actually who he is.

    What is so bizarre is you could make a list ten times as long and still only be scratching the surface.

      All of his pure idiocy too. Acting like drawing sharpie lines on a map for the path of a hurricane will convince anyone not to see what their eyes show them. Covfefe announcements. Press conferences at the Four Seasons Landscaping while their makeup drips down their faces.

      Anyone else old enough to remember when misspelling potato or using a word tone of voice at a really was enough to end a politician’s career? What a different universe.

    The quiet piggy one was awful, especially after I saw the wide shot at how close his finger was to her face.

    The craziest thing is this fat slob calling someone else a piggy

    Being such a spectacularly unsuccessful businessesman that he made a casino go bankrupt (seriously that is some impressive levels of incompetence)
