      Easy, under US law the only way to remove the president is the impeachment process.

      Anything else would represent an end to the US system. Although ironically since the Senate won’t impeach this will also lead to an end to the US system.

      So yeah since the Senate majority is complicit we’re stuck between the end of our democracy or a civil war. Bad place to be

      Because the Martians did 9/11 as a warning so now Elon is trying to send the Home Planet Defense to take Mars’ oil. Then spend 3 trillion on arms to fight the Martian extremists.

        Well, the Palestinians have space lasers that control the weather, so we’re just helping our ally, Israel.

          Wait I thought the Jews were the ones with the space lasers? Damn this is confusing.

              Okay I’m getting confused 🤔

              Who controls the space lasers and who controls the weather machine?

              I know South Park figured out the brown note so that explains the pic.

    It should be mentioned that they have released some of the Epstein files, and heavily redacted. Most of it has still not been released. Obviously the parts where Trumps feature the most haven’t been released yet, which says a lot about how involved he was, because he has already been proven to be heavily involved just by the files they have already released.

      That whole thing really felt like some wrestling kayfabe. You’ve got that picture of him with his fist up and a tiny bit of smeared blood near his ear. Then spending the next few weeks with a cartoonishly large bandage over it, only for his ear to be completely unscathed when he finally appears without the bandage.

    They left out the part where the entire presidential cabinet and the legislative branch of government is hauling all our tax-payer money out the back door while we’re all watching the distraction ping-pong game happen in front of us.

    Either way, it’s an utterly absurd circus that only serves to highlight the fact that the US is ruled by organized crime.

    But hey, there don’t seem to be any consequences for the criminals responsible - so things will just carry on as they are.

    It’s just sad that this really isn’t just a clown show, but that the criminal machinations of the US regime are causing considerable damage to the entire world.

        Well, organized like the mob, you know, the old mafia connections of the father of the orange child molester - and those of Roy Cohn, his mentor…

        Organized like his good friend Jeffrey and all those people…

          I’d call it “mob inspired disorganized crime” because the hallmark of this admin is that they actually aren’t very good at what they are doing. The most amusing thing about them is that they are revealing all the sneaky surveillance and tech snooping tools that the US government has because they are using them so ineptly.

            Yes, that’s true. They are incredibly incompetent, but also so unscrupulous that they are still quite successful at enriching themselves. Given the lack of consequences, they seem to be completely indifferent to how obvious it is by now.

            I suppose that’s what happens when you always let the worst criminals get away with their crimes.

            Anyway, I think that even after the first year of his second term, the orange moron is undoubtedly the most corrupt president the country has ever had in its history.

    I mean, none of it is really a distraction. It’s just various intentions bearing fruit or dying on the vine. And a scary proportion is bearing fruit

      It’s discombobulation, if anything aside from evil people doing as much evil shit as they can get away with.
