  • You’d need a majority in Congress and a super majorty in the Senate to be successful. Both houses currently support Trump. He was impeached twice in his first term but not removed because of a lack of a Senate super majority.

    He’s still very popular, many peooke are disappointed bevase he’s not more aggressive.

    An example, reading some comments in the FT about the No Kings protest and many of the comments said Trump should arrest all the protestors for being commie traitors

    US Politics is absurdist theatre for the rest of the world







  • Mistake ? No, the laws of nature will prevail, we’ll be gone eventually and life will prosper. We thrived for >100k years, in the last couple thousand most of us have made everything worse. Muchof that was ignorance so it’s somewhat understandable but since the 1970s we’ve been well aware.

    It is bemusing to see a species self aware enough to understand it’s destroying it’s own home and literally do everything it can to make it worae.

    Nature has time, billions of years. Inequality is our greatest act of stupidity, from that leads all the other stupidity (nation states, agriculture, roads etal) eg you can’t have 5 billion people driving cars, so no one drives cars, you can’t have 8 billion people flying so no one can etc). Eventually we’ll drown under a pile of our own waste. Climate change is I think the solution to the human problem (the collapse of “civilisation” not human extinction). before pollution etc but perhaps nuclear annihilation will do us in before cliamte change does ?
