How can we make this happen?

Sure is, he's the perfect figurehead for the project 2025 group that wants to takeover America. He has cultist followers, and he is not overly intelligent, and he is so easily manipulated. He's perfect for their needs right now.

It's a good thought but it won't happen because he's not just anyone, he's the POTUS which means that any rash actions like threatening Iran will be judged as within his authority to execute them. We need a "Dead Zone" moment to get him out of office. 🙁

Do it today! The man is fried!

That’s the outside the box kind of thinking we need

It doesn't matter as long as he's the president. The secret service wouldn't allow that.

The problem is the media will continue to present Trump in a largely positive light, because of financial considerations and fear. The Democratic leadership does not realize the gravity of the situation. They are incapable of saving us.

lstewartsc.bsky.social•4 days ago

So glad you are here to read the minds of Democratic leadership for us.
Duh. Just another Dem-basher.

johnthepol.bsky.social•4 days ago

Actually prefer many of the younger D’s in their 40’s and 50’s that have more of a sense of urgency and realize the gravity of the situation. It is time for them.

lstewartsc.bsky.social•4 days ago

You're assuming they don't.
Don't be a defeatist, jumping to negative conclusions.
Ageism is counterproductive.
This is an all-hands-on-deck moment in US history.
We need blue votes from all generations.
Older people understand the dangers of fascism from first hand experience. Don't count them out.

Also, I’m a minority that lived in Quebec as a young person. I know very well about demagoguery and prejudice. At 15 I was refused service at a restaurant due to my background.

I’m not saying all old people. My father is 87, liberal and doesn’t understand why the leadership is playing dead. Crockett, Murphy, Padilla and Sanders are examples of fighters. None are in a top leadership position.

lstewartsc.bsky.social•4 days ago

What you are doing is dogging, undermining, the Democrat party, which helps Trump & Republicans.
Democrats fight fascism.
Republicans support fascism.
You don't see Republicans slamming their leaders.
Pick a side.
United we stand. Divided we fall.

I see negative remarks about Boomers/older people all the time. I think some of them have forgotten that many of us were peace loving hippies who protested the Vietnam War and hated Nixon.

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•4 days ago

We can only save ourselves. We didn’t give Democrats the majority. They don’t have the numbers in Congress to do much.

Interesting that SCOTUS keeps having him more power. 🤷🏼‍♀️

igorthesecond.bsky.social•5 days ago

I wish there was an easy out like this but unfortunately I think we are buckled in for the whole ride. Remember his whole admin basically could be charged with crimes if we had a real government. So it’s not just trump this time. He has people who will back any and all things now. Buckle up

They let Pam Bondi & Ron DeSantis tap-dance all around
MA-GAtorstan unencumbered. And this Liver Pudding: https://bsky.app/profile/foofiter1972.bsky.social/post/3lrls5r6mdk2i. Oh... and these two Snapperheads: https://bsky.app/profile/foofiter1972.bsky.social/post/3lrcafiuhgk23.
Why would Floridians see any problem with letting Der Shambling Orange Old Foamy Pantloaf💩 roam free?

sparky2024.bsky.social•5 days ago

I think its partly to do with high ranking Democrats not saying exactly that. The media would start asking the question if the Democrats were all asking the question.

Only a nonlawyer would write and publish this statement:

"Any lawyer arguing for invoking the Baker Act with Donald Trump would have the easiest of slam-dunk cases."

therealelvee.bsky.social•5 days ago

Agreed.

🤣🤣🤣🤣Florida will NEVER do that and everyone knows that!

Trumps dad died of dementia, dementia is hereditary, dementia makes you lose sight of hygiene and any filter, Trump is a sloppy old man who puts on makeup like a little girl and he has a visible catheter tube on his pants.

Demented is putting it lightly

Yeah, he’s getting to the same stage when we found grandad about to sprinkle mouse poison on the pizza.
Time for assisted living, with people he own age with similar interests. Golf, racism, etc
