9. Who will stop him?

Yes it's wrong. Yes it's illegal. Yes Trump is a loon... all of that. But really, nobody seems to care about stopping him on anything. Kamala said he'd have no guardrails. She was not wrong.

Seriously, who's stopping him? He's currently just waiting for his pet SCOTUS to sign off on deploying the military to "pacify" American cities where he's unpopular.

I think h likes the idea of killing people.
Now he has the armed forces to do it for him.

6. Absolutely. It's a power trip.

Just like the ICE raids and sending the National Guard to blue cities. He gets off on sending armed people to do things like that for him, because it makes him feel big and strong and tough and powerful, instead of like the pathetic loser he actually is.

They absolutely pine for the days all white men were entitled to brutalize persons of color wantonly in the streets of any town if they were so inclined.

He's a murderer as well as a rapist and pedophile and felon and liar.


He's very correct about the part about 'maybe not getting into heaven'
and the same goes for the "professing christians" who voted to
inflict him on this country!

8. With help from the "Heritage" foundation, F47 has shown us just how flimsy our body of laws really is
Thu Oct 23, 2025, 10:45 PM

Apparently, all the preceding presidents -- even the one's I fucking hated -- willingly worked within a much thicker set of constraints than was actually required. Heritage started with Nixon's "If the president does it, it's not illegal" and refined it to "If the Republican president does it, it's not illegal." And here we are.

To prove it, look at the destruction o the East Wing of the White House and boats being blown out of the water without justification.

15. He has dropped all pretense and is showing us all that he is and all that he could be.

And it is a horror show. It feels like something is going to have to give, and soon. He’s a maniac that is out of control. The question now is who will stop him before he utterly destroys us all.
