What will end Donald Trump's second term?
-
@evan@cosocial.ca It's almost guaranteed he will be impeached by the house but impeachment basically means nothing now days. Senate isn't going to prosecute. He's probably going to serve out his full term and then be arrested, convicted, and sent to prison in 2029.

@Deadlift so, election?

@evan@cosocial.ca Yee. -
Similarly with election or revolution; someone else *outside* of government decides
@evan wouldn't a third term for Trump also fall into "election or revolution"?

-
I combined impeachment and 25th amendment because although they are quite different, in both cases someone else in government decides.
@evan the 25th is a more complicated form of impeachment but involves the same Congressional vote so grouping them makes perfect sense.

@radieschen yes, I think so!

@evan I voted for death, but that doesn’t mean the death will come before Jan 20, 2029. We could be well into his “third term” before we are rid of him.

@jasonnoffsinger then how would death end his second term?

@evan Other: "The Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus".

@evan Stroke (with loss of ability to speak but not fatal... oh no, not that.)

@jasonnoffsinger then how would death end his second term?
@evan Exactly. We need to be prepared for his second term to roll over into an unconstitutional “third term”.
Trump is now far too exposed to war crime and corruption charges to ever allow a peaceful transfer of power.
Look for the authoritarian power grabs to accelerate over next 2.5 years.

@evan@cosocial.ca who said it will end?
-
@evan trump will likely be assassinated or overthrown

@burnoutqueen so #1 or #4

let's go with alien abduction.

@mkb right, but it's also a huge pain in the ass.
@evan

> […] it's also a huge pain in the ass.Both of those were manifestly true throughout his first term. Yet here we are again.
If those were reason enough to convince him to walk away from it, I very much doubt he'd have squealed so much at leaving the first time, nor come back for a second round.

@mkb right, but it's also a huge pain in the ass.
@evan @mkb having the entire East Wing of the White House torn down and it is being rebuilt with a massive ballroom is not because Trumple Fatskin is a huge ballroom dancing fan.
He wants a huge space for fundraising, on federal property (which is illegal, by the way), so he doesn't have to fly back to Mar-a-Lago to host and solicit bribes from foreign governments and rich people.
-
@evan I can't vote as I think there is a strong chance of Constitutional amendment and a third term.
I guess the “election” option fits that but I think you're implying the election won't include Trump.
