Tomorrow he'll have been president for one month. It's an opportune time to impeach him. Or imprison him. Or to use the 25th Amendment to remove him.

If only

Well, given that he seems to be channeling Charles I, I keenly await the denouement...

25th Amendment—he has a constitutional disability that has not been lifted—as the quickest path for removing him while he gets impeached. Just sayin’.

Impeachment is a waste of time given the GOP complicity and majority in both houses. 25th likely dead end too. He is lawless and it will take a novel path to solve this problem. People need to think outside the box if they want to have a country left (as he likes to say).

It’s time to start turning up the heat on House and Senate Rs. They’re concerned about going against Trump and getting primaried. They need to feel more heat from the other side of the electorate too.

Honestly there aren't enough words to describe how spineless are Republicans in Congress.

wait, I found more

And, I know that Trump supporters will say "ha ha, he doesn't mean that. He's not really saying he's a king. He's just trolling libs." Folks, yes. That's the whole point of paralipsis (I'm not saying; I'm just saying). He uses irony to say two things at once, so he always has plausible deniability.

I think he's been mulling a grandiose title, and this is intended as a trial balloon.

reverend-m1ck.bsky.social•23 days ago

He does this ALL THE TIME - practically every time he speaks. He implies with innuendo. Then when people address what he obviously INTENDED, he claims "I never said that." He uses wild exaggeration and outright fabrications the same way. It seems to come naturally to him. It's his superpower.

Paralipsis. Like tacks under tires - words are thrown before consequences. We're mired in words when action is long overdue

Thank you Jen! I've been wondering how to define that.

He does mean it. He signed an EO yesterday stating it.

I'm always shocked that so many Americans have no firsthand experience dealing with someone like this.

Great for them not to have anyone super toxic in their lives, but their naivete isn't great for the country. Maybe we can set up a lending system so they can experience for a few days.

"ha ha only serious" is standard fair for the alt-right in general.

jimrissmiller.bsky.social•23 days ago

His problem is that his plausible deniability isn’t usually very plausible.

Narcissists excel at this
