What does this author mean by ‘He has also begun’? When has Trump ever been capable of speaking above a 4th grade vocabulary? This was exposed way back in 2017, the fucking guy could barely read and preferred pictures over paragraphs.

Congress was explicitly elected to stand back and stand by while Trump rules. That’s what their voters want, that’s why they kicked a bunch of Democrats out of Congress and replaced them with Republicans whose entire platform was “whatever Trump wants”. This is the congress people demanded doing exactly what they were sent to DC by their constituents to do.
If we change Congress then we can expect Congress to change its behavior, but that starts with voters.

He’s a pedo.
They are protecting him.
It’s a sick and disgusting country now.
I never thought I’d see the day where a major political party would be just fine with child sex trafficking and child rape.

Because most of them are just as inept, self-interested, uncaring, and criminally guilty as he is so there’s not enough benefit in getting rid of him. Then there are the true religious nuts in Congress who actually believe that this is all “God’s plan”.

Why has The Hill turned on Trump? That’s the real news here. This is the second article I’ve seen from them this week with negative reporting on Trump. Previously that wouldn’t have been possible. New leadership over there or something?

Those people are in Congress to make themselves rich, not to worry about what happens to America because the President is a criminal lunatic.

Because of the media sane washing him.

Says the news site that helped get him and the GOP elected…
It’s very simply to non-idiots. Those that are part of his party are going to support him.
Which is, it seems, very hard for The Hill to understand.

Billionaire media is out here sanewashing him, that’s why. “Trump gave a statement on Iran. But what does it mean? Let’s analyze Trump’s policy” and it’s like….he’s a goddamn mental patient rambling on a fake twitter site in between diaper changings and day dreams about drowning toddlers! What is there to analyze!

The republicans goal is to own the libs. Nobody is better at it than trump. They operate on vibes more so than policy. They don’t want to make the country better, they want liberals to feel pain.

Because loyalist have been placed in strategic position all throughout the government to stop or impede any and all actions taken to stop him, including the Supreme Court imply any action he takes is technically presidential action. Which is making it nearly impossible to call it a crime.

If Trump gets removed by impeachment all of his pardons are nullified
There is also the point that insider trading is an open secret so many politicians would be under investigation.

He’s a useful idiot. Republicans plunder everything they’ve wanted since Reagan, Trump rubber stamps it, and the cult ignores his shortcomings.

It isn’t “congress”, it’s the GOP.
If the GOP wants Trump gone, he’s gone. The Democrats have wanted Trump gone since his last term, and have been thwarted every time they have tried.
FFS put the blame where it belongs.

The media doesn’t either. All we heard for months was that Biden was declining, all from a poor debate performance where it was documented that he was sick. While Biden walked more gingerly, had his lifelong flubs while speaking, his mistakes were mild compared to the rambling, incoherent word salad, forgetting names of longtime acquaintances, world leaders, countries and horrible attempts at pronunciation. Biden gave a few long speeches after leaving office that were 1000x more cohert and spoken than Trump has in a few years, yet the media sane washed Trump’s speeches, answers to questions and cognitive state.

If a Republican says Trump is incompetent, they admit they followed someone incompetent.
Better to burn the country down than admit a mistake. It’s less painful.

I still don’t think enough people realize the scope of the problem here, the real and potential consequences of allowing this man and his people to continue governing the world’s most powerful nation, and of the long-term harm this is going to do to the entire world. A lot of the damage will be permanent.

Anyone who isn’t a member of the cult can plainly see, in real time, that Trump is unfit for office. For any number of reasons.
Unfortunately, both chambers of Congress are controlled by people who *are* in the cult. Just look at literally any statement or appearance by Mike Johnson, and you’ll see proof of that.
Any ‘commission’ you might try and form, even if you word it to be about the Presidency as a whole, and not about Trump in particular, will get no Republican support in Congress. Because it will be obvious that, regardless of what that commission would do later, the *first* thing it would do is deal with Beloved Donald. And the cultists can’t have that.
The writers of the Constitution never imagined a scenario where an entire political party would put loyalty to one man above the welfare of the Country. The whole reason America exists is because the people back then *wouldn’t* do that. So there’s no framework within the Constitution for dealing with it.

>He has also begun speaking like a six-year-old. He [talks about](https://www.newsweek.com/what-is-nuclear-dust-can-trump-take-from-iran-11857251) “nuclear dust” and says [things like](https://www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/trump-transcripts/transcript-president-trump-speaks-to-reporters-before-marine-one-departure-41126), “They’ve dropped a couple of water mines. … We’ve defeated all of their water boats, too.”
