Donald Trump is a deranged lunatic and an existential threat to the US and its citizens, and to people around the world, and that renders him unfit for office. He needs to be removed as soon as possible, while there's still some possibility that the extensive harm that he has done and is doing might be reversed.

I hope he tries The Thing that finally gets domestic power to remove him. 25th amendment, impeach & remove, resign. Whatever. None of those seem particularly likely at this point.
I very much hope he doesn't ever get the opportunity to do The Thing that finally gets a foreign power to stop him. He's had no consequences so far. Barely any meaningful resistance. It's hard to imagine what someone with his brain damage thinks, but he doesn't have any evidence that he can't do whatever he wants, and it won't be surprising if he tries.
I find it essentially impossible to believe there is a The Thing for the first one. Where things are at now, I can't even imagine what that could possibly be.

The 25th amendment is invoked by the cabinet and the vice president. Those are the people supporting this shit, they aren't going to get rid of him. He's doing what they want and giving them cover.
I would say that the only thing that could convince them to remove him is if he became such a liability that they felt the need to get rid of him out of self-preservation. But honestly, I don't think they have the necessary level of awareness. If anything, I suspect most of them would be more likely to double down on being cartoonishly evil and try to do whatever it takes to cling to power.

Without a change in congress I have no idea what he could possibly do to get republicans to do something. It's literally a cult. He could come to their houses and rape their kids and they'd be out there the next day explaining how this is good for America, actually.

That will never happen and short of people showing up with pitchforks and torches or guns and bombs. This will continue. Republicans will continue to whinge and wince publicly. While squealing orgasmicly inward at everything he steals and everyone he hurts.
The only possibility would be for every Republican in this coming midterm to lose their elections. And even that wouldn't guarantee it. Democratic leadership will have to grow a spine as well.

He is a rapist after all.
Unfair. That's only according to his ex-wife, court records, the Epstein files, several credible victims, and his own recorded admission...
I’m a little more worried about the part where he causes WWIII.
They were commenting on his disregard for consent or even negotiation. He takes what he wants. He "grabs them by the pussy," as it were.

The Epstein files still have not been released.
“If anyone knows anything about not respecting boundaries, it’s me!” - Drumpf
The rest of NATO need to put troops in Greenland, today, with clear orders to fire on any invading force, even if its the US.
If there's one clear and obvious pattern with Trump's use of military power, it's that he likes quick, easy, low cost military operations. One day of airstrikes, one special forces raid, declare victory, go home. Either he or the people around him understand that America has no stomach for a war right now. The American right have been beating the anti-war drums hard for the last decade. But surgical military operations win public because they're already over before anyone can react. Look, see, no Iraq style quagmire. Trump gets it done, no problems. Not like those other idiots.
All of which adds up to the conclusion that Trump will not want to spark a war with the entirety of NATO. But he's extremely confident that if he steals Greenland fast enough, NATO won't want a war to take it back.
This is why the defence of Greenland has to be pre-emptive. A clear commitment to a fight, before the US can put boots on the ground. Do that, and Trump will back down. The right wing politics of today are not the right wing politics of 2001. He doesn't want a war, he wants an easy victory. We cannot offer him one.
Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, one of the founding members of NATO along with the US.
Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty states that an armed attack against one NATO member shall be considered an attack against all members, and triggers an obligation for each member to come to its assistance.
Attacking, invading, operating in, or otherwise taking military action against Greenland will at best destabilize and delegitimize NATO, and at worst prompt a full military response from NATO member states against the United States Military, the largest and most powerful armed force in history several times over, with a budget an order of magnitude larger than the rest of the world combined.
I cannot overstate how horrifically, hilariously bad this would be:
-
It would begin an escalating conflict that would give China the perfect distraction to invade Taiwan, and remove the support that Ukraine desperately requires to continue defending against Russia.
-
To avoid war, Denmark and NATO would be forced to concede and appease Trump as Chamberlain did with Hitler, further emboldening Trump, Putin, and Xi Jinping to continue their totalitarian regimes and campaigns which literally amount to no less than cartoonishly evil total world domination.
-
In full scale conflict, NATO states would be faced with a losing battle in which their only recourse would quickly become the use of nuclear weapons.
This absolutely cannot happen. Our only window to stop the Trump regime’s utterly Fascist-with-a-capital-F designs by conventional political means is rapidly closing. Once the American military is in Denmark without their consent, my advice is to start looking at options for your own survival of WWIII.
That would be the end of NATO. Which means it's the US on one side an the rest of the world on the other. Except Israel, of course.
But on the plus side, the members could start their own alliance named "Now Excluding America Treaty Organization". I way on the plus side because the acronym would spell out "NEATO"

It won't work out this way, no matter what happens.
-
Pacific Rim nations will probably stick with US interests over European interests, because the US is the only thing between them and China (at the moment). Europe doesn't have the global presence or the interest to operate in the Pacific. This includes: Taiwan, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore, the Philippines, etc. Even if the US is showing itself to be a less reliable partner, it is still not (yet) an active threat to their interests the way that China is.
-
Ukraine under Zelensky won't just surrender to Russia and will probably tolerate a lot from the US in order to continue their defense efforts unless they are somehow offered EU membership/protection explicitly. I could see Ukraine breaking ties with the US if it meant joining the EU.
-
The above might give Trump the excuse to say openly that Ukraine "didn't want peace" (via surrendering to Russia) and then declaring open support for Russia in the name of "peace". Then it's an out-and-out US-Russia partnership.
-
China will continue to pretend neutrality, continue to manipulate its rivals into destabilizing, continue using its neighbor countries to export its environmental disasters, and then invade Taiwan. If that doesn't provoke direct conflict with the US, the rest of the Pacific Rim starts to look really vulnerable.
-
South America is... complicated. Obviously a lot of nations like The Dominican Republic and Colombia would side against the US with Venezuela. Argentina wouldn't. Is Venezuela under direct US control/occupation at this point? Brazil is a founding member of BRICS, so they're probably aligning with China and/or Russia, but they'll probably stick to conflict avoidance as much as possible.
-
India might make some public statements of condemnation of imperialistic behavior to score political points, but that would be it. The only way they get involved in any conflict is if China is on the other side (or maybe Pakistan, but that's more complicated).
-
Iran is in so much trouble right now with Tehran being completely out of water, and the internal economic strife. They're still a power in the region, but not really in a position to influence things beyond their borders.
-
Canada won't support US aggressive actions, but will also do almost anything to avoid direct conflict with the US. That's a very difficult position which will produce confusing, noncommittal and seemingly self-contradictory actions and statements.
-
Africa...? No idea, really.

Something feels like covid felt just before covid became a pandemic.
I'm getting that itch to buy big things that might not be available much longer or will be in high demand.
For COVID it was a trampoline (best decision ever, impossible to find one weeks later).
For this..... not sure yet. But surely running out of time to figure it out.

Doing Putin’s bidding.
By even attempting or formulating an attack on Greenland he places the rest of NATO against the US. If he can separate the two, then NATO no longer exists.
This is trump being a Putin toady.
And if NATO does nothing it might as well not exist anymore.
Yeah, and I hope it's FUCKING DIE. I'm so sick and fucking tired of Trump.
What I expect is the US will land and declare it belongs to the US now. The only question I have is if Greenland's military is going to shoot back.
The Danes have already stated, "shoot first, ask questions later." I don't expect them to step down from that position. An invasion by a hostile state IS an act of war. And the invader is by definition a war criminal. The Danes are being serious, they aren't jesting. FAFO.
That's what they say, but will they do it? Dunno. Wait until Trump dies and the dems come back in to return it.

Do you fucking idiots really think the Epstein files would change anything? On top of that the U.S. just invaded a foreign nation, kidnapped its head of state, and is trying install a puppet government all because of oil and ego, and are now openly talking about doing the same to another nation. They can be doing more than one bad thing without it being a distraction, you can also be focused on more than one thing, especially when one of those things is an international act of terrorism that is actively hurting an entire country outside of the states.
Stop making everything about just one thing and give issues the attention they deserve for what they are, squawking “epstein files!” at everything makes the epstein files a distraction from everything else, you fucking tools.

Who is "we", you little bitch?
health care and rent skyrockets, ICE destroying our neighborhoods. But i guess taking Greenland or abducting Venezuela pres is more important. "What the actual fuck", i've been saying this literally every single day since his 2nd presidency. Every day is like another god damn South Park episode.
also friendly reminder we are still early into January 2026

I am calling upon all service workers to call in sick tomorrow. If you serve anyone anything, this means fast food workers. This means all the people who cannot afford to take a day off. If we all just don't show up, the world stops....why don't we all get this?
Yeah, the whole army of me doesn't show up, and them I'm fired (or take a reason sick day for no reason when I have a very, very limited number of those and get fired next time I'm sick).
Nobody else is willing to join this because some internet rando promised them it would work, and a solid chunk of the population would be unwilling to join even if there was no consequences because they generally back the regime and its warmongering. In the theoretical best case it's the prisoners' dilemma on a societal scale which is basically impossible to win without a larger national union syndicate to coordinate.
Unionize now, then we can actually make a general strike happen.
Yeah I don't think everyone you're calling upon is going to get your message.
You're also calling upon people who do something they can't afford to do. This suggests you don't have an understanding of how things are for people that are struggling.
Trump about to trigger article 2 of NATO and my Senator is like "America is safer without Maduro in charge"
While we fight USA in greenland, if we not just give it to them, putin will attack our eastern borders I bet. Thanks so much trump for idk whats going on anymore tbh. Nazi corruption or something, but also semi good cause Maduro was also evil? idk anymore man
Not like american citizens follow the news so yeah not like americans are able to stop this evil from the inside out, they aren't able to mass strike or whatever, most americans got no idea whats going on, america will get what they want whenever they want cause they the most powerful. But the business relationships will be over hopefully after Greenland., good luck with your billionaire tech companies without customers from the EU.
Thanks trump for weaking your friends, for making putin more powerful... Thank you trump for bringing neo kolonialism back, Thank you trump for a global war, Thank you trump for hating and oppressing the weak, not protecting the weak.
THANK YOU TRUMP FOR WORLD WAR III
Donny. Donny, using the military would be an act of war, Donny. It would make the US the bad guys, Donny. You don't want to tarnish that sterling legacy of yours, do you?
Oh, wait.
Impeach and remove this madman
Time to sell the bonds that back the US currency. It will make the USD's value plummet
