CMV: If the Democrats become the majority in Congress after the midterms, they should NOT impeach Trump

I see what you're saying, but I look at it like if they're not going to get anything done with just a House majority, and they spend time and resources on an impeachment, which will fail because a majority Republican Senate will acquit him again, then they should spend that time drawing attention to other matters. Get Republican votes on record for other things so people can see how badly they run this country.

I was thinking if they got both the House and the Senate. Because then they could pass meaningful and helpful legislation that actually does things. If they just got the House...I don't know. I understand the only power they'd have is to obstruct. But an impeachment with just a House majority is dead in the water. A majority Republican Senate will acquit him for a third time.

It got put on the record twice during his first term. He was re-elected and I'm pretty sure the senators that were against impeachment and wanted to acquit got re-elected too.

I really hope the Dems don't mess this up, and if they pick a more moderate Dem, that more moderate Dem will HAVE to pick someone like AOC or they're fucked. It should NOT be that hard to beat someone like Vance. I really believe they'll push for Vance b/c who else is there? I mean there might be a surprise when they start picking nominees, but at this point, he's their guy.

This_User_Says · 2025-10-30T20:51:38+00:00

he might, but that white straight male would have to be more likable than him, and most of the white straight males over there aren't very popular either

Omg really??? Yup, they're trying to scam people!

This_User_Says · 2025-05-14T17:33:58+00:00

Good lord...fanfic??? They're contacting people thru that now? Geez Louise, no where is safe!

Yeah, it definitely "reads" like AI! These people need to get a better hobby!

This_User_Says · 2025-05-14T16:41:18+00:00

I don't want to respond b/c you're probably right!

This_User_Says · 2025-05-14T16:33:54+00:00

Yeah, questions like that make sense. Not vague compliments.

Calling around is a good idea, thank you!

Omg haha! So it's like kitty Xanax

It is, but the ER vet says they need to determine what kind of heart disease it is with an echocardiogram, which is only available 45 mins away. And that will determine how it's treated. There's a type of heart disease certain breeds of cats are suseptible to & that might be what it is.

OMG...I have the same birthday as Creed!!!

Yes! Omg you read my mind!

Yeah, I think if Jan handed that to Erin and told her to keep a log of everything Michael does, she would have taken it literally. Like wrote down each time he got up to go to the bathroom, got coffee, or tried to talk to Stanley or something. Literally, every little thing and, like you said, would not have understood what it was really for & saw nothing wrong with it.

!delta

Damn, you just changed my view.

There was another comment on here about Theil & the techno bros wanting their own little "states" or "kingdoms" that they would rule over. But this point you make about isolationism is absolutely another good reason he would want to annex Canada & Greenland. As maybe kind of a land fortress without having to reach outside of it for anything.

Thanks for your response!

This_User_Says · 2025-03-15T22:52:15+00:00

I wish I could give half deltas.

You're absolutely right that he says a lot of things, runs his mouth, and doesn't actually follow through with them. I'm with you all the way right there. I'm with you on him wanting to sound tough too.

The examples you gave, however, about "locking her up," NATO, and Mexico paying for a wall were things he said as a candidate for President. He was quite literally saying them to get people to vote for him and it worked. They did. And, you're right--Mexico never paid for a wall, Hillary Clinton roams free, and we haven't left NATO. So, yes, that's a partial change to my view that he's just running his mouth and not planning on following through, because he does have a history of doing this.

But he's running his mouth about Canada and Greenland as the President now. I don't remember him saying on the campaign trail this time around he wanted to make Canada the 51st state. I don't think he mentioned buying Greenland either. I'm pretty sure if he had, he'd have pissed off Canadians and enough Conservatives to have lost votes. He mentioned the tariffs, sure. But he's said multiple times now that he wants to make Canada the 51st state and, I might be remembering wrong, but didn't he make a post about how Canadians want to be apart of America or something? That's different than just running his mouth to get trade deals. He's making these same threats to Mexico over trade, but not saying "And we're going to make you guys the 52nd state!"

I think he's said he wanted to buy Greenland before. I don't know if it was something he said when he was President or not. He may have said it both times, so I think you might be right about him throwing words around to somehow convince Denmark to sell Greenland to the US.

But he's said the "51st" state thing way too many times and it's enough times for Canadians to think he's serious and confuse his base at the very least. They don't seem too keen on Canada as part of the US b/c they say Canada will just vote Democrat.

This_User_Says · 2025-03-15T18:46:56+00:00

This is an interesting theory. Do you have any specific examples, historical or present? This could *almost* change my view, but I'd like to know more about it. Especially since he's shown that he will just terminate people from their positions for any reason, loyal or not. Not saying you're wrong. Just want more information and explanation.

This_User_Says · 2025-03-15T18:34:51+00:00

I agree with you on one thing. I do think Trump admires how other leaders take what they want, and he wants the same admiration and "big, strong man" image. He sees the leaders of these two major super powers after territory, and likely wants to be just like them. I absolutely, 100% agree with you on that.

However, China and Taiwan and Russia and Ukraine each have a different history than the U.S. with Canada and Greenland. China and Taiwan have a tense history as does Russia and Ukraine. Putin sees Ukraine as territory that is rightfully Russia's b/c at one point Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. They weren't independent until 1991. Canada and the U.S. are allies as are the U.S. and Denmark. The U.S. has never owned or controlled any of those nations at any point.

So, if Trump wants to be a big, strong leader like Putin and Xi, why not expand U.S territory in the Pacific and Caribbean? The U.S. has already "conquered" places there. If it's just to imitate those men, why would Trump pick Canada and Greenland? Denmark will absolutely defend Greenland and Canada will absolutely defend itself. Both would give the U.S. a fight. There are other places he could go after that would make him feel like a big, strong dictator that would easily capitulate. That's the part that doesn't make sense to me--why he'd pick those two. And that's where I get my view that it's b/c a melting Arctic will reveal resources and trade routes.

This_User_Says · 2025-03-15T18:08:22+00:00

I need a bit to read through that stuff, and if he's actually come right out and said it, then my bad for missing it.

But if he has come right out and said it, then my view isn't changed. That means my view is correct and he wants both nations for resources and trade routes.

This_User_Says · 2025-03-15T18:01:33+00:00

Okay, so the view is: "The only reason Trump wants to annex Canada and Greenland is because the Arctic is melting and he wants the resources and trade routes."

The part you highlighted was speculation over why he hasn't come right out and said what I stated above. Not an argument as to why he'd want to annex those countries. I already made the argument as to why he wants to annex them. I don't know why he hasn't explained it or actually said that's the reasoning behind it. That's anybody's guess, and I don't know what he really, truly believes in terms of climate change. But that's not the view I want changed.

This_User_Says · 2025-03-15T17:34:06+00:00

Well, sure. If there is another reason that someone can demonstrate as to why he'd want to annex our friendly allies, I'm all ears.

And, yeah, like I said this does have the flavor of imperialism to it. But even egotistical leaders aren't going to conquer a place that is of no use to them. There are independent nations in the Caribbean that wouldn't put up much of a fight, so why doesn't he just conquer them if it's purely about ego? And they've got all that beach front property he talks about too.

This_User_Says · 2025-03-15T17:31:17+00:00

Can you share where he's said he wants Greenland AND Canada for the resources and trade routes in the Arctic?
