And that doesn’t include the many he has threatened (Greenland, Cuba, Panama, Canada, Mexico, etc.) or “military operations” like whatever the USA is up to in Ecuador.

Muricans are busy trying to figure out which billonaire CEO eats his own burger correctly.
American here…
Easier said than done. He is still in his presidential term, which means the only way to get rid of him anytime soon would be with an impeachment. That is not based on popular vote but rather by vote within our legislative body. And that body has become relatively corrupt because Americans don’t pay attention to representatives they vote for other than selecting one party or another. And there are really only two parties that have any chance of getting elected, both of which suck in their own special ways.
That means it is unlikely we will be rid of him before 2028, when his term expires. He has already had two terms in office so our constitution prohibits him from having a third so in theory that should be the end. In practice he has made mention of “deserving” a third term and some of his supporters have ‘Trump 2028’ flags and stickers.
Should he attempt to run again that would likely create a constitutional crisis.
You should however be aware that from what I can tell, this war does not have the approval of the American people. We have seen what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, how a ‘short victorious war’ usually ends up being anything but. We spent 10+ years and $trillions on Iraq and Afghanistan and got little or nothing of value in return. And this looks an awful lot like the same shit happening again. A great many Americans are not happy about this.
The best thing that is likely to happen is a revocation of the ‘Authorization for Use of Military Force’. Per our constitution, the President is Commander in Chief of all US armed forces. However, he cannot declare war on another country without Congressional approval. AUMF sidesteps that, it was a bill law passed after 9/11 which gives the President broad authority to initiate combat without Congressional approval or an actual declaration of war. Since 9/11 it has been used to create military action in 22 countries. That could be revoked by Congress with a lower barrier to entry than impeachment.

Imagine supporting a literal pants-shitting, f-grade charlatan, and then seeing these headlines and thinking your positions and those you support are improving the world.
It’s impossible to know whether any person who subscribes to organized religion has a real break in their application and understanding of science and physics, or whether they’re playing a part for some other interest or reason. The result is the same, and the games are fucking awful.
People living by silly rules that don’t make any fucking sense are quite a liability for mankind when we’re already fucked or against a proverbial wall.

Focus? No.
“Flood the zone”? Yes.
President of peace, everyone
Here are all the countries Trump has bombed in his second term.
And that doesn’t include the many he has threatened (Greenland, Cuba, Panama, Canada, Mexico, etc.) or “military operations” like whatever the USA is up to in Ecuador.

He’s been listening to Rubio again…
They’re sounding pretty spread out, now is the time for Canada to invade.
We could pad out our army with tfw since no Canadians want to be in it.
