Proof of what? Of something that I think is likely to happen in the future?

In theory, but we are already experiencing a number of ways how the system can be bypassed or ignored. It remains to be seen how sharp the teeth of the judiciary system are, but it‘s already clear that the system reacts slowly at best. And how to you stop a president that is supported by both chambers of the house and that ignores what the judges say?

Up until any President does something unconstitutional you don't stop him. Trump was elected in a uncontested election and is now the head of the Executive branch of the US government. He has every right to enact his agenda. Congress can go along with that agenda or they can oppose it. He doesn't control the Legislative branch or the courts. I would suggest a wait and see approach. You'll sleep better.

If I read stuff like this where people are saying Trump will do this or that I know I can get correct information here in our forum(In US Politics thread)Or by google it.

Which I did and found this answer in Quora

"If you are an American in any grade from 4th to 10th, shame on your teacher.

If you are an American in any grade 11th or up, shame on you.

If you are a Russian ‘bot, please ask your programmer if Putin was really elected.

If you are from some foreign country unfamiliar with the U.S. electoral system, the answer is “no.” The President, unlike the prime minister or president in some parliamentary systems, cannot call, accelerate, or do anything else regarding any elections. The government the President leads, the U.S. Federal Government, doesn’t even run the elections, though the Federal Election Commission (FEC) is charged with enforcing some laws about campaign finance and reporting.

Now, if I’m writing a novel, President Putin conspires with President Trump to create a crisis in, say Iraq, not long before the elections, and then President Trump uses the Bully Pulpit, recently renamed the Fox Twitter Feed, to call everyone to arms against North Korea, and urges America to Stay The Course while we find the weapons of mass destruction and the alliance with ISIS…. but, uh-h-h been there, done that."

And this article from CNN

"Up until any President does something unconstitutional you don't stop him"

The most recent news over here shows him systematically removing opponents including, it would seem, the judiciary - so who might be left to stop him? The parallels with history are just piling up now and we're becoming genuinely afraid

What members of the judiciary are you referring to?

Well I should've inserted the words "threatening to" there somewhere so I apologise - for now. But I'm not Trump-bashing; the Americans have got the government most of them want but it's going to directly affect us over here of course if he's seeking to create a dynasty

It is highly unlikely that Trump can have a judge impeached unless that judge does something illegal or unethical. And even then it would be hard to do. US Presidents appoint judges. During his four years as President Joe Biden appointed 235 judges, all who were confirmed by the Senate. It is very likely that everyone of them would agree with Democrat policy. It's the way the system has worked for a long time. And I don't think it is possible for Trump or any President to 'create a dynasty'. Don't worry about it.

Thanks, Marcel - I appreciate it and hope you are right. I was about to add this clipping below to my previous post - it's not intended to contradict you. I'll just continue to watch this space :salute:

And when he does? It only requires enough people to do nothing (and right now those people are plenty and easy to find).

  • Well get over it, many of us think the 2020 election was rigged and stolen and we don't think Trump incited a riot we think the FBI did.
  • Our government is being taken over by progressive globalists, I applaud getting them out of government.

Seems hysterical to me. Can you explain exactly how this would happen? Surely you must know if you think it is a possibility. Take us through it please.

"I want to seek the possibility that maybe I had a point considerably earlier than this when I pointed out on this very channel that Trump had red splotches on his hand which I was told by a number of medical professionals that when you see that condition the first thing you suspect is Syphilis," he said in the video.

But nothing has ever been proven despite years of Congressional hearings and investigation. One would think the current DOJ would clear the air on the subject. And what happened to the JFK files being released? All we got was a pretty repackage of known Epstein information.

Somehow, I don't think the US will be better off with regressive isolationists.
