Rules:

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.

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.

Trying to unite all the good white nations? Definitely not white supremacist.

What more than Ukraine can they carve up? Russia can't conquer the EU. Even the Baltics, how could Russia enter while the EU has air superiority?

I don't think Russia would attack the EU either, but air superiority is rather outdated in the age of missiles and drones.

He is a lame duck president and won't get support from congress on anything.

In terms of foreign policy, he's often acted unilaterally anyway.

The difference is that now he'll be put on trial for that sort of thing. His party refused to hold him accountable while they held the legislature. Democrats won't have the votes in January to remove him from office, but they can force him through a legal process that he would rather avoid. I think he'll do everything he can to save himself.

Republicans set a precedent when they subpoenaed Clinton over the Trump-Epstein Files™, so now Trump can be forced to testify when he leaves office.

Democrats won't have the votes in January to remove him from office

They would need 67 votes to convict in the Senate, and the Dems will have 56. They need 12 Republicans to vote to convict. It seems impossible, based on past performance, but the Midterms have created a whole new world in DC.

The PeeWee Himmler administration is about to get real froggy, and Republicans are going to have to answer for that in 2028. All we need are 11 self-serving Republicans who aren't willing to throw away their political futures on a treasonous lost cause.

Imagine if the vote in the Senate is a tie, and JD Vance has to break the tie? If he votes Yes, he makes himself President. Once again, Trump's fate is decided by his VP.
