My bet is Trump gets the 25th amendment treatment just after he passes the 2-year mark of his term. That way, the back half of the term won’t start the timer on Vance’s 2-term limit and the fascists can keep Americans sleepwalking for the next 12 years before we collectively wake up and realize we’re in a dictatorship. I hope I’m wrong but I could easily imagine this plan already having been drawn up.
Here’s a horrifying thought: JD’s Silicon Valley puppetmasters wait until Trump has served just over 2 years into his term, then invoke the 25th and install JD. In the meantime, the MAGA types work the system to ensure they can guarantee a Vance victory through whatever means necessary for the next 2 cycles (since his first abbreviated session won’t count as an official term), or a total of 10 years, before most Americans even realize we have sleepwalked into a Vance dictatorship funded by and primarily benefiting oligarchs like Musk and Thiel
“Surely the special interests and their enormous piles of money will offer guidance the people will all benefit from in these trying times,” they’ll say
Too respectful for him, and too disrespectful for the environment. Love the energy though, I’m with you
He’ll be better for the worms than he was for humanity. This asshole put my grandfather’s multi-generation lumber and hardware supply company out of business way back when.
That’s not how this started, moving the goalposts is pretty cheap. I was literally linking to an issue happening in this vary election that illustrates why secret ballots are so important. A position which, if you recall, you began by stating was invalid because you misunderstand (or, now more clearly, willfully misrepresent) how democracy in the US works, and your proposed “solution” only helps illustrate the easy ways vote buying and manipulation would be introduced without secret ballots. I’ll block you, for obvious reasons. Good luck
There is already a record of who voted for what, all of your fears could be taking place as things are now. Making it accessible to the person, even with hoops to jump through, would only be an improvement.

He seems fragile, doesn’t he?
Soon, we may have camps full of them awaiting deportation with nothing else to do though! /s
Seconded. Did it impact a legitimate military target? Where any civilians injured or killed? If so, how many? What’s the deets??
Israeli censorship rules prevent media outlets saying exactly where or what was targeted, but some media outlets say the location was hit by a low-level drone launched from Lebanon - a relatively unsophisticated weapon that appears not to have activated early warning alarms.
Frustrating.
Good. Now fucking resign.
Now prosecute him accordingly
Oh my. That was truly wild to read. He works soo hard at being a cartoon villain.
TIL, thank you!
Well I don’t like that
From the comments, it seems likely this was not a nuclear test.
According to the US Geological Survey, the depth of the quake was at 10 km, which is too deep for an atomic test. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000nwr9/executive
I totally hear that, but at the same time it’s really important for a functioning democracy that the vote be secret. For one, it empowers a suppressed class to vote against their suppressor’s interests without fear of retaliation.
Syria better be on alert. I really feel like Bibi is eying the Kingdom of David at its largest as far as potential war targets go at this point.
If Democrats can’t point at a fascist and say, “Look, I’m running against a literal fascist. You and I may disagree on some things, but we all know fascists are bad” while Trump aligns himself with other autocrats and fascists, then what is even happening in this world? We failed ourselves on election day. Trump has made himself known. A majority of voters picked him, and they collectively either completely ignored reality for the last decade or decided they’re on board with his vision. The party isn’t to blame, when the alternative was so foul. People chose this, whether through ignorance or malice. Make no mistake, both made an appearance
