Sure but that was true 10, 20, and 30 years ago. Not sure what follows.
Impeachment
If we had a functional Congress, that’s what would follow
Starting a unprovoked war without approval of Congress would certainly in normal situations be impeachable.
Not in this day and age. Congress and the house are useless nowadays.
Hence “normal”.
You’ll find that most congress critters are in favor of military action against Iran. The Democrats just wanted to be publicly asked about it first so that they can huff and puff before skipping the vote on it
So are the people. Anywhere else by now would have had National shutdowns until all of these Trump enablers were out of office or under the guillotine. But the people are not rising up Nationally.
Few dissenters here and there and some state protests but nationally the people are fine with how this administration is handling things otherwise it would of come to a complete halt a loooong time before this current shitshow.
It may be possible if americans acted during the vietnam war, or the afghanistan war or the iraq war
I feel protests during the Vietnam war bought about more change than what’s happening at the moment. Guess the body counts too low for that though.
This is just another ripple in the cesspool that is the United States of America. It’s going to take one hell of a conscience to sweep all this under the rug of history.
protests during the Vietnam war
The “No Kings” protests so far have been somewhat larger per capita than the largest Vietnam war-era protests.
- Vietnam Moratorium (Oct 1969): 2.5 million of 202 million ≈ 1.2% of population.
- No Kings October 2025: 5.75 million of ~336 million ≈ 1.7% of population
In a rational and just world where the system functions as intended, yes. That’s never been normal. The normal situation has been every President since Congress last tried to reclaim their authority with the War Powers Act in the 1970s has further expanded what the next one can get away with. Congress has never successfully responded to their abuses. The reality has been the President can and will start whatever wars they see fit and Congress normally doesn’t do anything much about it besides cheer.
He’s been impeached twice and still became president again.
Impeached twice and convicted 34 times. Americans knew who the were voting for (or not voting against).
But Harris was going to start WW3! Just like Biden and Obama did! She also wanted to eat Palestinian children.
Thank God we avoided that! Imagine how stupid would we look if Israel could do whatever they wanted, they would surely bomb Iran. Twice. And some pedophile threw a baby in a river and the AG would talk about the stock market instead. Phew!
Jail or even execusion
Before, it was just because he didn’t care, like a normal politican. Now, his brain is too soupy, and he might not be able to stick to the talking points the strategists came up with.
That blob of mildly sentient hamburger grease rapes children for fun, he doesn’t give a flying fuck about killing people.
The manufacturing consent for this attack has been fucking wild. Even on NPR they keep being like “well, Iran is pretty bad, so what if this actually makes the people free?”
It’s exactly like the invasion of Iraq.
- concentration camps & deaths inside them.
- US civilian deaths by US agents
- Forced displacement of civilians
- Child exploitation and rape throughout the administration.
- kidnapping of others countries leaders.
- enabling of genocide of Palestinians and arming of Israel to do so.
- renegading on their commitment to protecting Ukraine for giving up nuclear arms
But yeah he’s to mentally ill on this one point. More finger wagging and harsh words from Dems again.
“Harm” to others has never really been a restraint on trump’s behavior. He’s perfectly happy to hurt others if he can. The only restraint has been what he thought he could get away with and face no consequences.
Before, the banks and courts could hedge most of his excesses. But now, he’s president; surrounded by spineless sycophants and malicious supporters, disregards essentially most any and all court rulings against him, and nobody will stop him.
The only incapacity to talk about is our useless officials who can’t stop a wretched and disastrous old man destroying the country and killing people at home and abroad.
Oh no he or at least his inner circle understand exactly what they are doing.
Hmmmn yes we knew that first term too. I recall “adults in the room”.
majority leader in the senate applauded him. both sides. all the same. /s
The guy never had the mental capacity to run a hotdog stand, let alone a country.
