I'm just happy he's suffering.

Trump also called the Financial Times, assuring reporter Edward Lucas that the U.S. has no immediate plans to strike Iran, the Middle East country Trump started a war with in February.
Wait, didn’t he bomb them yesterday?
Two more years of this crap….
Maybe not.
The GOP civil war has started, its just a matter of who will fire the first bullet and when?
We've heard for years GOP congressmen HATE Trump. Now they see America HATES Trump too. Who (if any) will scramble to cross party lines to impeach and remove to save their own careers?
I mean, we shouldn't let them save their own careers, but we should let them act like there's a chance to appease us before we vote them out and (god willing) prosecute them.
Americans on the whole hate Trump, but there's still that core of 30-ish% who love him uncritically. They're all Republicans, which makes them around 60% of the GOP and more than enough to determine primary outcomes. It's hard to get nominated as a Republican without Trump, and now we see that it's hard to win with Trump.
I suspect that most of those cult members will just stop voting once their idol fades away. Maybe that will let the Republicans recover in 2030, but you just know Trump's going to be out for his base in 2028.
Just to add to your point about his cult. Reminder a lot of them were politically unengaged up until 2016, without Trump there's a solid chance they become inactive again.
Mind you there's always a risk they latch onto one of his kids but they will still most likely bleed 10 percent or so of their numbers in the process.
I hope all his kids run, and split the trump vote.

God willing

Let's hope we get a Big Beautiful Day before that can happen.
The founding fathers probably never expected things to go this sideways, but one of the features of seperation of powers was supposed to be that politicians would save their own skin and stop other branches from doing the wrong thing.
The problem is having captured all the branches, there was no sinking ship for the rats to flee. That has now changed, Trump has become a sinking ship
Doesn't matter who hates him, he's the face of the Republican party. If he goes down, they go down with him.
He probably means nuclear based because Tucker keeps rattling that particular sabre.
a clearly frantic Trump blamed a potential Republican loss on everyone but himself.
Of course he did. 🤡
Mr. 'pretend I'm on the ballot'. And we did, and he lost.
Yes and now Trump claims it because he wasn't, when it's very clearly Trump and his administration that people are voting against.
Let's hope this will make some of the checks and balances work. Obviously supreme court is 100% compromised and defunct, so Trump still has that. But here's to hoping the democrats will actually do something. My hopes are not high, but at least there's a chance now.
Perhaps, but Thomas and Alito are in their 70s...
Still having an absolute corrupt supreme court for more than 8 years shows a systemic problem. If they "leave" Within the next 2 years, it is still Trump appointing the candidates to replace them.
That's at least 10 years with a supreme court where party politics are more important than the law of the land.
The Senate can (should) block those and other federal appointments.
They'll probably stay on until they are 90, So 20 more years with an insane supreme court on top of the 8 USA already had.
Fox News is liberal now, wow.
“Liberal“ is anything the senile dear leader doesn’t understand or that bruises his soggy paper ego, so this case yes.
Isn't that "communism"? Or does that poor old guy haven't made up his mind yet? Liberalism, communism... Both end in -ism, so how big the difference could be anyway?
well, I guess if he calls Fox "fake news" he'll be right for once, even if they report the real news this time.
During the 2024 election cycle he called Harris a communist Marxist fascist... proving again he doesn't understand words
He's trying to muddy the water so his idiot followers think anything left of hunting the homeless for sport is liberal.
Definition of a good day: Any day Trump is suffering
Good, get him the fuck out of here and raise taxes on the wealthy immediately.
I've been waiting for this for a decade.
This is just the tease.
What we've been waiting for is impeachment, removal and prosecution.
Not only do I seriously doubt he’ll be impeached, I’m quite certain there aren’t enough votes in the Senate to remove him if he does get impeached. it will be a monumental waste of time and effort. And it would change very little, because a President JD Vance would not be much better.
Instead, the Democrats should focus the next two years on investigating every single thing Trump, his family, and his cronies have been doing, and putting as many of them in jail as possible and completely neutering Trump for the next two years.
I just don't know.
This cycle revealed that so many GOP candidates absolutely struggled because their base was split. They couldn't dissociate from Trump because the GOP base is the MAGA cult, but they lost all potential independent voters because they had to associate with Trump.
I wonder if there'll be a number of GOP reps who see the writing on the wall and turn on Trump to save their own careers. Trump will certainly not usurp democracy and get his 3rd term now, so they got less to fear.
Hard to say tho. Their behavior after Jan 6th isn't promising
Well, I think it’s a matter of legislative priorities: do the Democrats want to blow their wad using their control of Congress to try to get Trump impeached and then removed? It would be a monumental effort with little chance of meaningful success.
Most Democrats believe it would be a much better expenditure of resources, instead, blow that wad dragging literally everyone else in the Trump administration before an investigative committee and possibly impeaching and prosecuting them instead. There is so very much to go after all of them for, that it would be a real waste of time and effort to let everyone else go just so they could go after Trump and probably not succeed in getting him removed.
Not to mention that it would be far easier to prosecute and possibly jail Trump after he is out of office.
Honestly. Agreed.
While in office Trump is essentially immune to consequences - there's very little point in trying to go after him again.
But his administration and DOJ have been doing some very blatantly corrupt things for a while now, and their only safeguard was the Republican Congress refusing to do anything about it.
Now that the entire Congress is in Democrat hands, they're vulnerable - so going after them and essentially neutering Trump's tirade against democracy for the rest of his administration certainly seems the best path forward.
Though we've got the next two years to find out what's gonna go down.
You ain’t just whistlin’ Dixie.
Trump 2.0 was so much worse than Trump 1.0 because this time around he surrounded himself by a cadre of sycophant enablers. Going after all of them will be easy, Pickens, and it’s not as if they don’t all belong in jail, too. Especially that Pete Hegseth motherfucker. I’m perfectly happy for Congress to impeach his ass. and then, of course, prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.
And their replacements will have to be confirmed by a Democratic senate.
this also means no new Trumpy Supreme Court justices
Assuming they don't cram one through in the next two months. After that, though, yeah, the Supreme Court is looking up. Both Thomas and Alito will be having their 80th birthdays before the end of the next Presidential term is over. With today's Senate results the Democrats are likely to keep that chamber until 2032, at least. That means that if the next President is a Democrat (which is pretty likely) they'll be able to replace both Thomas and Alito, moving the court from 6-3 Republican to 5-4 Democratic. If they can also convince some of the older Democratic justices to retire during that time then they can keep that majority for a good long while.
Also they may be able to go after Musk for his doge bullshit, ideally they strip him of his shares, properties, and citizenship so as to ship his sub human ass back to South Africa broke as a popper.
It is not a question of going after Trump's cronies or Trump himself. Not only are they obviously complimentary goals, but there is no "wad" to blow. Political capital is not the type of game where you spend a set amount of points and once those are gone, you need to wait for your next turn. They have serious momentum now; they have constituents waiting with bated breath to see if anything actually comes of voting en masse, and they need to be impressed.
Push harder for the release of the Epstein files. Push harder to immediately end hostilities with Iran. Prosecute Trump AND his allies, removing as many of them from office as possible. And still pass legislation that will tax the rich and help people make ends meet. These are all the things they got elected for, they can all be addressed simultaneously, and failure to do so will result in depressed turnout and bad outcomes in 2028.
I’m quite certain there aren’t enough votes in the Senate to remove him if he does get impeached. it will be a monumental waste of time and effort
What's changed since the last 2 impeachments? Other than a littany of additional crimes?
Or they could just work to making things better
No, they need to send a very clear signal in the US so this shit doesn't happen again, or at least not for another couple decades.
They probably won't, but they should
No.
Don't impeach him, destroy his Project 2025 agenda first.
Get gas prices down, get food prices down, end the Iran War.
If you impeach the GOPs can play the 'it was just about Trump' card and come back.
If the Dems show they can actually lead, it kills the GOP forever.
And then Americans think the Republican party is restored to "normal", and vote for an equally insane Republican again in 6 or 10 years.
Which is why we gotta keep primarying out establishment Dems and replace them with DSA candidates people will be passionate to vote for.
We just proved AIPAC and billionaires can't buy Dem seats nearly as effectively as they once could
No impeachment. Then Vance takes over, and has a chance to normalize MAGA. Going into 2028, we need Trump pissing off everybody, so we can have a Blue Wave in 2028, like we did yesterday.
Vance is complicit in all Trump's bullshit. Impeach that fuckhead as well. Then Johnson.
MAGA isn't just Trump, and last night made that clear.
The people know the GOP is MAGA, not just Trump. They know all those bastards must go
Prosecution at the heage would be the best.
Spoiler, a presidential veto isn't the be-all-end-all. It can be overturned by a 2/3 majority in both houses. Not saying it wouldn't be super difficult to pull off but it is still there.
There were already some republicans that didn't like Trump. With these results there will more opportunistic parasites that will look to jump ship so maybe possible if democrats play the manipulation game right.
if democrats play the manipulation game right.
lol.
What, should they instead try to connect with the common sense and conscience of republicans that were previously Trump supporters? Only thing those people understand is probably power and fear.
Im sure some will gleefully flee that sinking ship and look out for their themselves in their next election cycle. Trump and maga are toxic to be associated with.
