Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No shit. His words and actions are where to look.
He's been telegraphing it since 2016. In 2020 he literally tried to stop the peaceful passing of power between Presidencies and made it a very not peaceful passage for the first time in US history.
Like, if you haven't noticed, you haven't been paying the fuck attention (not you OP, you're obviously paying attention). I'm so sick of our media downplaying it like they're just figuring this the fuck out, like he isn't the most transparently bad liar in fucking history.
He's not even a bad liar. That would mean he's lying. He literally said in 2019 "If I win the 2020 election, I will accept those results. If the results say I lost, then you'll know just how rigged it was, and I will refuse to accept it. We'll change the rigged elections and show them how you can't rig elections anymore."
He straight up said, long before a single vote could be cast, that he wasn't doing any part of the election process in good faith.
Then in the 2024 election right around the time of the debates, he said "Last time they rigged the elections. We're going to show them how to rig it so the good guys win. It'll be the biggest election you've ever seen. It'll be such a big election with such a turnout, that you won't need a recount. You won't need anymore elections after this. This will be the last one we do, believe me."
He's straight up saying that he's rigging elections and will refuse to hand over power when his term limit expires.
He's not lying. He's straight up telling you he's going to be a piece of shit, and then he follows it up by being a piece of shit.
I think as his dementia takes hold more and more, he's going to become more erratic and it will be cunts like Steven Miller who step up to push for things. My suspicion is that the GOP is staying silent because there are many senior legislators and connected friends that ran with Epstein and why Trump isn't releasing those files is because it's "compromat" that he can leverage tons of people with. This is EXACTLY the kind of thing Roy Cohn would have taught him to do.
This ...
He will not just step off the stage, he can not.
Regardless of his mental state, he is so ingrained in Project 2025 that they do not let him until a working solution is found, perhaps after an official declaration of kingship and he appoints a successor will he get to step down.
Next to that if he would now just lay down his title and maga crumbles down he's absolutely certain he'll be drowned in lawsuits again and perhaps actually given jailtime.
Oh, and the coup ... yeah that is already ongoing just in a sneaky way...
Like they are a little bit in/for on it too?
