Shouldn't Trump be charged under the law? Or is that a president carrying out the duties of his office and thus is exempt from the law?

Old America doesn't exist, and people need to stop pretending the old rules of life are to be followed.

Genuine humans inside America have no national identity.

US presidents haven't been punished for wrongdoing for at least half a century.

Trump should be arrested for about ten thousand different reasons

If seditious behavior is punishable by death, the Pedophile of the United States’s neck will be the first under the guillotine.

They took an oath to the country not a fat, small dicked pedophile.

@Redditsux Trump-regime "cabinet" members, who still refuse to invoke the 25th Amendment on a presidential seatholder, whose face & words are clearly expressing the state of dangerous mental disorder & dementia-induced disinhibition, must ask themselves, when & whether they're betraying their country keeping an unfit seatholding psychopath, national security threat & close bro of a sexual offender in the highest office of the land, just to have him autopen subversive executive orders!

They care 100% about holding power and zero for the country. I don't think any of them will step up.

They do not at all see things the way you do. They like this. All this calling for the 25th amendment stuff requires people to be alarmed, but they like what they are seeing. You're yelling at the clouds. Do note: I agree with your position, not with the Trump hangers-on.

Mirshe@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 256d

I think it's not the fact that they like it, it's more the fact that the alternative is Vance, who might actually bother having a say in how you run your own personal fief. Trump, in large part, simply sits back and the Cabinet basically gets to run however they like.

I'm afraid that if we see them invoke the 25th it will be because Trump finally has SO much baggage that they can blame damn near everything on him and quietly continue along the project 2025 trajectory with the likes of Vance and Johnson playing choir boys.

The only thing that will stop him is death. His cronies and those he’s bullied into obeying him certainly won’t.

The only thing that will stop him, singular, is death. The only thing that will stop them, plural, is a popular uprising.

¿Por que no los dos?

Yeah, absolutely, just wanted to point out that this shit won't stop if, say, his diet kills him.
