The guy is clearly deranged. Time to use the 25th Ammendment to save the country and the world from his madness.
@andrewstroehlein time to watch Dr. Strangelove again.

@andrewstroehlein If only it was that easy. The VP and a majority of the members of the cabinet have to invoke the 25th amendment, or the president has to turn over power to the VP. You think any of that will happen? No one else can just say "I invoke the 25th" and it happens. In any case, Vance then becomes president so it'll still be a shitshow, probably even worse because Vance is nefarious while Trump is a useful idiot.

And no, I'm under no illusion this one move will fix everything. The problem with the US goes way beyond Trump. He is just a symptom of a long-term decline. Still, it is a necessary - if not sufficient - step.

Fundamentally, until the US stops lying to itself (about lack of racism, about equal opportunity, about separation of church and state, about guns being good, etc) there is no hope for its recovery. -

@andrewstroehlein The GOP is okay with this. He's their leader.

@andrewstroehlein There is no one who would be able to take his place in the line of succession that wouldn't just keep carrying on...

@andrewstroehlein ... minor practical issue is that most of the House and a majority of the Senate, as well as more than half of the Supreme Court are actively supporting this disaster and will be of no help with Art 25 procedures.

10 – The proliferation of car-based lifestyles
11 – The difficulty of distance
12 – The US shift towards global empire was a bad move
13 – Mass incarceration, slave labour, and similar brutalities

WHAT IF Americans had found a way to organise peaceful mass protests and general strikes better and sooner?
· What if more rational heads in the Republican Party had stood up to stop the increasingly authoritarian Trump regime?
· What if the Democratic Party hadn’t folded its cards nationally so soon?
· What if leaders from both parties had joined together and made survival of the country’s democracy their top priority?

Trump wasn't snubbed. He simply wasn't worthy.
