In a sane world, this would be articles of impeachment met with unanimous shouts from the rest of the government. In a sane world, the people wouldn't have forgotten how batshit insane his first presidency was. In a sane world, he wouldn't have gotten any further than "grab em by the pussy." Fuck, in a sane world, Trump would have died years ago from a stroke and/or heart disease from a combination of the McDonald's he constantly eats and the syphilis he undoubtedly has and the best legacy he'd have left behind is "You're fired." That is, of course, until we found out just how involved he was with Epstein and any scant trace of him or his celebrity was wiped off the face of the earth in disgust.

We don't live in a sane world.

Yeah, I have a really horrible feeling that WW3 is going to start soon. This is why it's bad to have such an insanely huge military. Not only does it deprive your own people of hundreds of billions in social services, it provides a piece of absolute shit like trump the ability to destroy global stability whenever they want.

We all fucking tried telling conservatives and third party voters for over a decade now that this was a life or death situation, to oppose trump at all costs. Every goddamned day we are proven more right than we ever knew. America is over at this point regardless, but even worse we may take down millions or billions of humans in the process. Never been a scarier time to be aware of world politics.

But how would you steal all the wealth from Greenland for your corrupt corporate overlords/your insider trading?

Yes in the North Atlantic. It’s like we could have some kind of Treaty. Maybe we could form some kind of Organization. Maybe someone could make Trump think he came up with this idea all by himself. FIFA could give him a trophy for it.

They also act like US Corporations wouldn't get a really good deal if they wanted to purchase the rights to extract some of the mineral wealth of Greenland to extract.

Yeah I don’t get it, they are trying to stop him with laws after he ignored laws and there was no consequences.

How about you apply some of the existing laws and do those consequences

That’s not true. There have been numerous operations in other countries that were not given approval by Congress. Not saying it’s right but there is definitely precedent for it.

Imagine how much better the world would be if people like him could just admit they're a gay man.

It gets votes on record on who thinks it's okay if Trump wants to invade Greenland.

The war powers act gives the president the authority to invade any country on earth, he only needs congressional approval for operations lasting longer than 30 days. Congress also gave the president blanket authorization to invade any country he thinks might be harboring terrorists, following 9/11, with this absurd, fascist decision to grant the executive dictatatorial powers passing the Senate 98-0 and the House 420-1 (and with nearly 90% of Americans supporting Bush at this time). Trump's actions in Venezuela therefore, while a brazen violation of international law, are fully within US law. It's virtually impossible for a president to actually violate US law through military actions abroad.

Any attempts to rein in these ridiculous laws should be fully supported and are badly needed. Even if Trump ignores them, it can then be used to discredit him and prove that he is acting against the will of the people.

I feel there's a nonzero chance that Trump might just go all out if a third impeachment looks like it will succeed.

Like, what if Trump decides to build up forces around Western Europe, and then launches bombs to flatten Copenhagen just before his removal? And then when he's out, he tells the Dems that the fallout is their problem now.

The secret is writing the rules on some bullets. Then find a way to let him keep the rules in his head, despite dementia

We already have laws to stop that, he just doesn't care

No one forgot.

The problem is that this is technically a bigger issue as far as governments are concerned.

Grab'em by the oil/Greenland/rare earth minerals.

When you have 11 carriers, they let you do it.

He's still acting like a pedophile.

The fact that he's a pedophile should be enough for all the fat lazy Americans to get him out of office. The fact that he is murdering people all over the world on your behalf is actually more important to the rest of the world.

You've put the cart before the horse... the USA isn't "becoming increasingly like Russia in every way".

Russia is becoming increasingly like the USA in every way

If committing the action literally described as a war crime in the ucmj isn't enough to get any action going, why would this do it? I appreciate the senator's words, but at this point we're done. Cooked. Finished.

Yeah we didn't invade Greenland. We invaded Denmark. Check mate!

You’re living through a grand moment. We don’t know how this story will be told, but probably as the fall of an imperialist empire led by a population of spectacle dazzled individuals who believe in the authority of concepts like The Market. A society too obsessed with their own freedom from to actually obtain any freedom to. A society with such little humility, American Exceptionalism can be seen touted as the cultural norm despite clear lack of substantive exceptionalism (mind having the most war ships). When all of this becomes immediately obvious to the general public, you might say we’re in an age of post-enlightenment. I wonder what we’ll find on the other side of that evolution.

I don't know. Gone are the days of his first term where his cabinet refused illegal instructions. He's old, demented, mainlining russian propaganda meant to encourage self destructive behavior, and surrounded by bloodthirsty sycophants who all want to play caesar. Unfortunately everything from invasion, to what you proposed, to forgetting about it are all on the table

Europe has nuclear weapons closer to the US than Greenland.

Technically, if everything works as if on paper, an attack on Greenland is an attack on Denmark. An attack on Denmark is an attack on France, according to EU articles, which are more tightly binding than NATO ones. And the French have nukes on subs floating under the Atlantic in undisclosed places, and their nuclear doctrine is basically "we use nukes as warning shots".

In practice, just selling all US securities and cash reserves held by Europe would basically cause the US economy to implode overnight, and the US government to have to declare bankruptcy, and stop being able to pay or even feed its soldiers.

The problem is that it would also cause a deep recession in the EU and basically all over the world, so that's why we're playing chicken.

Take Ukraine and Palestine.

Palestinians face an ongoing genocide and European states just kind of mumbled about things when challenged on it.

Ukraine gets invaded and Europe is all over it.
