The second term will be

[malaise]

shorter than Nixons
This is weaponization on steroids
That is all

[alwaysinasnit]

1. Yes, I doubt that he will be allowed to finish this term. My guess is that Vance, and his

puppet-master Thiel, will yank the rug out from under tsf with the 25th Amendment, saying that, as much as they would hate to do it, it must be done for the good of the nation.

[wcmagumba]

2. Do you predict it will resign or be impeached or stroke out?

Any of the choices are fine by me....

[malaise]

9. I think impeached - third time lucky

but any one of the three will do

[sunnybrook]

13. That would be wonderful

But when im at the gym I see news headlines saying his approval is 50%ish or something which is fucking hard to believe. Hope you are right. I had a friend today from South Africa message me a wtf is going on there.

[Mountainguy]

32. Whatever you saw, it wasn't right

18. Another faked attempt on his life.

And they will pin it on Greenland.

[Torchlight]

3. This does feel (to me) to be leading to a dramatic intersection of agendas.

And I get the sense that intersection's approach is more immediate and final than I would have thought only a week ago. Nine fingers trying to fit into a five-fingered glove, either the seams burst or a few fingers get broken.

[LoisB]

4. From your keyboard to God's ears, let it be so.

[TomSlick]

12. Amen.

May it please God.

[chicoescuela]

5. this son of a bitch is a like a cockroach. He will survive long past Nixon and it wouldn't surprise me if he does make

it to a third term.
I wish I didn't feel this way but I have not seen anything that changes my thoughts.
bummer

[alarimer]

19. I have also likened him to a cockroach

We all hope he dies soon, but somehow these monsters just keep kicking.

[shanti]

6. And not a peep to be heard

from Roger Stone...

[BlueTsunami2018]

7. Wishful thinking.

Unless he drops dead (please!) he isn’t going anywhere.

There isn’t a Republican with a hair on their ass to impeach him, remove him by the 25th or ask him to resign.

I know how horrible this is but it is what the People apparently wanted.

[walkingman]

8. I'm convinced that we have an awful lot of people that have the same view

of the world as him. If I look at American history these times are not much different than the past. The biggest difference is more people are aware of what is happening because of technology. Depending on your status in society, as in the past, it affect some more than others.

[malaise]

16. But they are not the majority

and that is good

[J_William_Ryan]

10. "...shorter than Nixon's"

Unfortunately, not.

Democrats controlled both Houses of Congress during Watergate – Nixon was convinced the be remove from office via impeachment, hence the resignation.

Also, the Supreme Court during Watergate defended the rule of law and the doctrine that no one was above the law, including the president – unlike today’s Trump Court.

No, we’re stuck with this fascist thug for four years.

[Vogon_Glory]

20. Maybe not. I'm convinced that Orange Julius is going senile

And that his staff and senior Congressional Republicans can’t or won’t hide it.

In the meantime, I won’t be praying for his continued good health.

[lastlib]

11. He leaves for good on or before 1/20/2029....

Horizontally or vertically, I don't care which (though I prefer the first), but he goes---hopefully to a life of ignominy and humiliation. I want him OUT.

[Warpy]

14. My prediction all along is that he won't finish his term

because once he enacts another round of ruinious tax cuts so that wealthy men no longer have to support this country, he'll lose inerest completely and use the failing health escape hatch to perpetual golfing and grifting.

[aggiesal]

15. From your fingers ...

Unfortunately we don't have honorable (R) congresspersons in the House, to bring up Impeachment hearings.
Maybe if (D)'s take control of the House, at the midterms, we'd get hearings, but then we don't have honorable
(R) Senators to convict him. We'd also get stuck with Sha-D Vance, which is a half step up.

[Conjuay]

21. with the number of people he's pissed off,

him and that other psycho has fired, I honestly don't see him surviving another six months.

He is getting to the point where he fancies himself as invincible, and my hunch is that someone will prove him wrong.

[aggiesal]

26. He's running the gov't like a MOB Boss. He may have pi$$ed people off, but not enough to vote against his MOB. n/t

[malaise]

25. There are more than a few very old ones

And some with major illnesses.
Numbers change fast

[aggiesal]

27. Not enough to convict. 2/3rds of the Senate is a hgh bar to reach. n/t

[DET]

17. This is Unsustainable

Too much too fast too evil too weird. DOGE has spiraled out of control, factions in the White House are splintering and going public, TSF is tanking the global economy, he’s pissed off the rich and business with his tariffs, the old, poor, and disabled with his cuts to social programs, the immigrant communities with deportation, legal firms with his extortion, and the rest of the US and the world with his sheer insanity. Soon he’ll be shooting protestors and imprisoning ‘traitors’ (whistleblowers, newspeople, anyone who doesn’t kiss his ass). Even some Republicans are starting to grow a spine. Most importantly, the MAGAts are starting to wake up. This has to come to a head at some point. I’d be surprised if this stolen administration lasted through the rest of the year.

[Vogon_Glory]

22. I'm also concerned that DJT will inspire multiple Tlatelcos

with US troops and law enforcement shooting peaceful protestors

[DET]

28. Had to look that one up...

Personally, I don’t think that most of the military would comply - but they don’t need to. TSF has his own private forces to do the job. Anything is possible at this point.

[multigraincracker]

23. Spinning faster and faster.

Get ready for a BIG surprise.

[S/V Loner]

24. That's the plan. The power behind all this know...

he will screw himself and that was the plan. Let him destruct himself and Vance takes over. Bet on it.

[wcmagumba]

29. I agree with an earlier poster, it is like a cockroach...they always seem to come back...

He is metaphorically like the guy in Kafka's "The Metamorphosis". Just a big giant bug...

33. Great short story. Cockroaches are insulted though. 👍

[Dave Bowman]

30. Shorter than William Henry Harrison, who served for only 32 days (from March 4 to April 4, 1841) would be nice too.

🤞

[malaise]

31. This is now 80 days

😀

[Dave Bowman]

35. Come on Dumpy, you can do it! 😝

[malaise]

36. Hehe

😀

[bucolic_frolic]

34. How many GOP Congressmen went long mid-morning today?

I assume that's the weaponization in the OP
