He does something illegal on a practically daily basis and everyone just kisses his ass. Now I guess he can just continue on and conquer the whole world and kidnap world leaders. Why doesn’t anyone stand up to this asshole?

    Serious reverse question: what about them? Like what do you genuinely think they’re supposed to do against America?

      Boycott, storm the capital, revolt, sanction, impeach, stop taking the high ground and start fighting dirty. There’s probably a lot of things that could be done.

        Boycott what exactly? Sanction America? Do you think countries will jeopardize their economies or safety over Maduro? Do you understand how dangerous and serious American threats are?

        Storm the capital and revolt? You first buddy, also do you mean the capitol in DC or mar a lago? Half the country support him and almost everyone are hundreds or even thousands of miles away from either capitol.

        Impeachment requires 2/3 of the senate so why even suggest that if you know how it works

        Stop taking the high ground and fight dirty? What does this mean? Republicans control the supreme court, the house of representatives, the senate, the executive branch, and 31 of the 50 states. This is not some fluke this is the America a LOT of people want.

        I hope you’re going to vote in the next election

          everyone’s on a watchlist when it’s this level of paranoia in state mate

          the only bad thing for you to do is shutting up and sitting down.

          that’s the only end goal, along with misdirection into paranoia of your own

        Boycott: Good news! There are a lot of those happening, but it hasn’t shifted things enough yet.

        Storm the capital: To what end? Seriously, assuming a large enough group of people took over the capital building or White House, what next? Trump would be evacuated elsewhere and still have full control of the military which could easily put down the crowd.

        Revolt: What would this entail? Yes, if a critical mass of Americans organized to get Trump and rewrite the constitution then maybe we could get somewhere but that large of a critical mass doesn’t exist yet. Remember, that would be a fight against about 1/3 of the US population plus the military.

        Sanction: The US is the largest economy in the world and is in control of the most important currency. It’s impossible to sanction the US until both of those change.

        Impeach and Remove: Requires a majority of representatives and 2/3 majority of senators. You need to convince a lot of republicans to make that happen.

        Fight dirty: What does that mean, exactly?

      Start disregarding their side of the treaties they have with the USA that Trump has effectively torn up. Sell off their US bonds. Strengthen political and trade alliances that don’t include the USA. Stop sharing intelligence with the USA. Boycott US goods and services and switch infrastructure away from US companies.

        I think you will find that most countries didn’t really have a choice in buying bonds from the US. Selling them would not end well for the respective countries
