    Impeached is the worst case if they lose the mid terms. Best case is charged with treason

    Let’s start some betting pools

    • Midterm elections never happen

    • Midterm elections are rigged enough by then to fall in right wing favor

    • Midterm elections are falsified

    • Midterm elections go off smoothly and are then deemed fraudulent

    • Midterm elections are a slaughterhouse and start a new civil war

    edit I guess I’ll put one in for sanity

    • Midterm elections go fine and are clearly against the right and the right say fine and let him be impeached.

      I’m putting my hopes on the sanity one.

      But my twist flavor is that they lose the midterms, then release a modified set of the Epstein files that places all of the blame on Trump.

      The Republicans “finally had enough” and go along with impeachment, getting rid of Trump as he’s become a liability.

      They put in Vance. They campaign on having been true Maga believers but being unable to stand what Trump did. They rake in the “we’re the real children protectors” propaganda and campaign on that.

      Then they lay low and come back in like nothing happened, thankful that Trump could scapegoat them from the Epstein Files, they’re free and clear for the restbof their lives.

      Trump serves a “sentence” on House arrest at Mar a Lago in luxury, never knowing a day’s hardship, and dies peacefully in his sleep.

        This one would be worth watching just to see him go insane on live TV.

      He can’t rig the midterms. He knows it. That’s why he needs to get to state of emergency asap so he can do the Zelensky thing.

      He is dying in office. Only way out for him is the Hitler way, he’s already too deep.

      Watch the Jack Smith testimony they buried on New Years eve. He has no life as a free man, he’s effectively imprisoned himself in the White House.

      He knows it’s over, that’s why everything he’s doing looks like there’s no tomorrow.

      The dude projects like nobody else, and literally wrote “maybe it’s our last Christmas” on Christmas. And Christmas is important to him.

      He’s just the distraction. The question is what happens when he’s gone? Will Peter Thiel keep pestering us with another attempt at the anti christ or are people going to ex-boyfriend him?

        It’s not like the rule of law means anything to him but, there is no mechanism that I know of that allows him to cancel elections.

        Even if he could, everyone in the houses term would just expire next January. Senators leaving could just be appointed by governors I assume, but again I know of no mechanism to install house members without some sort of election.

        Before people jump all over me, I want to repeat, it’s not like he respects the law, but if he did there is no mechanism for him to cancel elections that I know of.

    Let’s hope he gets impeached. Should be hanged, or at least put in prison, but we won’t get so lucky.

    He’s been impeached. It doesn’t do anything. I’m sure he’s literally shaking in his boots at the prospect of nothing happening. He would need to actually be found guilty and removed. Will never happen. The Democrats would have to own like 90% of everything for that to happen.
