    @anneapplebaum He's got dementia and he's almost done. I doubt he even has a consistent reality at all.

    He's long past the point where I'd want to be shot but I'd actually want to be stopped before I did all this damage. He never gave a shit who he hurt.

    That's why I don't really feel sorry for him. Otherwise I actually might because he actually has lost his shit and it ain't coming back.

      @anneapplebaum If, as the piece states in the last paragraph, the Republicans in Congress are "the last barrier," we might as well quit while we're behind.

        77 million voted for this, and approximately 80 million did not vote at all.

        more or less, these voters knew what they voted for or let it happen.

        "Will Republicans in Congress ever step in?"
        my guess is, no. even if republicans stop this orange nightmare, i give only partial pass, stopping should have happened far earlier.

            He would be perfectly happy if he could stay at Mar A Lago in his Oval Office replica signing things with an AI news feed telling him everyone loves him. A random set of actors could be paraded through and he'd never know they weren't dignitaries.

              @anneapplebaum I'm not sure even an invasion of Greenland would be a "last straw" for the GOP in Congress. Although some of them have said it would be, they've always fallen in line before.

              My favorite absurdity in this letter is "we had boats landing there, also." The Danes (as part of Denmark-Norway) were there long before the US even existed.

              BTW, I always love your articles. Thank you for what you do.

                @cshlan @anneapplebaum I imagine there's a lot of that going on but also that he's hard to contain and he's being guarded by people who are going to see he gets his way until someone tells them he's incapacitated in a very official way.

                It's only a partial coup at this point. The military and SS are still largely professionals even if the true believers are being removed. People would tell.

                    @anneapplebaum The Peace Prize fixation is all about Barack Obama, the fact that Obama did win a Peace Prize (and Grammy and Emmy awards) and Trump did not.

                        "the last straw"

                        how many last straws? which last straw? how many will come?

                        i think first impeachment vote was enough.

                        my prognosis is not very optimistic.

                                Attention needs focus on that fact.

                                  @anneapplebaum Thank you for showing US citizens the whole real desaster.

                                  People in Europe don't believe anymore that he or his puppeteers will be stopped. In most peoples' eyes here (with the exception of the far-right), the USA have become a rogue fascist state.

                                  The only thing we can do is protect us against the Kremlin and the White House (same danger now). Or buy California 🤫 https://denmarkification.com/

                                      @FrancoisPrague @anneapplebaum What will it take for someone in the US to remove Donald Trump from office, either legally or illegally? Isn't it obvious that the position is way beyond his physical and mental capabilities, and he is harming the interests of the United States?

                                        ...perhaps because Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize

                                          @anneapplebaum so many things were meant to be that. The rape accusations. The mocking disabled people. Every other sentence out of his mouth. The riots, the insurrection, the taking WH documents, the nepotism, the more rape allegations and clear proof, the lies, the stealing, the wall, the Files, murdering people in open water, pals with Putin, the Gaza strip video, the everything

                                          It goes on and on and on and nothing changes
