    Tell me you don’t understand America without saying you don’t understand America. Nearly 50% of the population would be willing to die for their great leader, they are also the 50% of Americans that are armed.

      Check your numbers.

      Also, youre probably referring to:

      If trump is not enough proof that americans give zero fucks… I dont know what to tell you.

    Finally? He’s already been impeached. Twice.

    The next step would be to have him removed from office, but that requires a 2/3 majority of the Senate to agree on it.

        For lying about a blowjob that wasn’t anybody else’s business in the first place. Such a terrible crime.

          Eh, she was his subordinate, so I would say it was our business.

          However, not nearly warranting impeachment.

          Perjury. Lying under oath to the American people. It might have been a stupid thing to have to lie about but it was still a crime.

            True, but it was also completely unrelated to any actions as part of the duties of his office. The entire investigation into the affair was because the Republicans found nothing illegal. There’s a reason Trump kept referring to his investigations as a witch hunt, because that’s exactly what the Republicans did with Clinton, and to this day they still keep trying to equate a personal affair with treason as much as possible so idiots won’t actually think about how fucking ridiculous that comparison actually is.

        Nothing but total anarchical chaos will be good enough, there are plenty of people here who would cause genocide if they were in control.

    That he hadn’t been impeached and convicted proves that America’s constitution is now a failure. The founding fathers tried and did okay for ~250 years, but the document does not work anymore.

        This is why hierarchical power structures will always be doomed to fail. All it takes is one person of ill intent to obtain a seat of power to begin entrenching themselves into that position of power by abusing their control over how the rules as written are interpreted.

        This is why power must come from the bottom up so that, when this inevitably happens, the people have the confidence in their power to remove the perpetrator from office and have them replaced.

    Congress? You dumb American fucks should all be out on the streets to shut your country down in protest.

    Instead, you’d rather continue living a nice comfortable life because you all know that you will be the last ones to have to face any threat of war when the world starts tearing itself apart.

    Eat shit you dumb fucks … the rest of the world is going to burn and fall apart all because none of you wanted to lift a finger to stop it.

    As far as I’m concerned I fucking hate America now … I’m Canadian and I’m pissed at my southern neighbours. It’s like having a trailer trash neighbour who just fire bombed someone across town and just doesn’t give a shit about what they did because no one is going to do anything about it.

    America can go fuck itself … I have no respect for any of you because you’re leading us down a deadly path and all of you are just sitting on your ass hoping that this will resolve itself without your participation … you dumb lazy fucks.

      Your concern is the world burning, so you prefer to stand idly by and allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons? World destroying bombs in the hands of people who routinely encourage and celebrate martyrdom, going so far as to use their own children as weapons and human shields?

      Go ahead, take over with your country! If you can’t manage to, you understand how helpless the average American is to change any of this.

        Iran has been “weeks away from developing nukes” almost since the U.N. created Israel.

          I didn’t believe that Hamas, Al Qaeda, and ISIS were exclusively from Palestine. It’s not racist to say many otherwise good Muslims are complicit in terrorist atrocities the way many otherwise good Christians are complicit in conversion therapy and bombed abortion clinics.

          Fewer nukes are a good thing, especially when taken out of the hands of governments whose state religion routinely gives itself over to the worst possible version of itself.

            The heck? Of these only Hamas is Palestinian. ISIS is Iraqi and Al Qaeda is too international to be pinned down to a particular country. However, what none of these are is Iranian; these are all Sunni organizations while Iran is Shia.

            It’s not racist to say many otherwise good Muslims are complicit in terrorist atrocities

            It’s racist to imply all Muslims (or even Palestinians) are “people who routinely encourage and celebrate martyrdom, going so far as to use their own children as weapons and human shields.”

              I was very careful to explicitly say not all Muslims, so I’m going to assume you’re engaging in bad faith and will end this conversation. I will continue to fight for Muslim freedom to worship peacefully, as I do for people of all faiths (and races) without your approval.
