Can our military just step up already and take these fuckers out? They are duty-bound to refuse unlawful orders.
And these people are fucking traitors.
Even if his orders are lawful, they've sworn an oath to defend the constitution from all threats foreign and domestic: they're duty bound to engage him in the exact same way they do with a combatant from Isis or something. Donald Trump is an enemy to the US.
25th Amendment also applies here. Orange hitler is obviously deranged and dangerous.
Never going to happen. They have given everything to MAGA, if Trump is out of the picture then it's game over. No one cares about Vance, the population would be so enraged he would be impeached and removed faster then you can imagine.
If Trump is out of the picture the r’s will push Trump adjacent/instill another Russian puppet. And then will manipulate the votes, he’ll win 105% of the population.
Ok hear me out for a second, sugarpie. The maximum leader of the military is the president. Any attacks on him is considered treason and can get them an expedited ticket to the death penalty.
Hear me out. If they take out president, vice present.... An so on until ask the rot is removed, then the next sane president can issue pardons.
I'm not condoning violence, this is in fact just mercy
Dunno in what world lemmy users live.
Yeah, military coups always work out real well
They have, in similar cases, acted as a transition between untenable authoritarianism, and democracy. I would trust our top officers over anyone in Trump's cabinet (or even the Republican Congress at this point).
I'm well aware of the dangers of a military coup. I just don't know how else this could ever be stopped.
"They have, in similar cases, acted as a transition between untenable authoritarianism"
As someon who has lived in Latin America All their life: No. Quite often they also have had to be forcefully removed because they overstayed their welcome.
And in the meantime they carried out horrible things. Concentration camps, forced sterilizations, represion of dissent, strict censorship...
Your average american will not survive a military dictatorship
Well, we are between a rock and a fascist state.
Can it be any worse than the Trump regime?
Uff, you really are an ***
