Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on. Keep on-topic
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

It is a matter of when, not if. They don't need him any more, as he's not allowed to run again. I figure they're only hesitant in case they can rig a third term somehow, otherwise it's only a matter of time before they leave a stray rollerskate at the top of the stairs and let nature take its course.
And ruin their chances to move up a rank? No way would a third term fly. On other things, you hear sycophants echoing what he says, tariffs, ice... Hell some even say the war in Iran is necessary, though more and more you hear them splitting from that. What you don't hear is congressional representatives talking about third term bullshit. Only trump and his aides. But people who think they have a shot at 2028? Hell no. Hegseth and Vance both expect to be next in line.
I expect him to get through November. Then they'll start showing more of the tics he's got going on, on red media. I would then expect to see them putting him in more stressful situations. Not just standing in front of a crowd with politicians, he loves that shit. But say at NATO, he starts getting grilled by Fox News, or one news or whatever that's called, or other news outlets that have always been friendly, start calling him out. Publicly ask him about his record bad polling, all the proof of Epstein. Hell maybe they even just straight up release the files so it looks bad on him, but not the party as a whole. They don't even need to give him a heart attack. Just enough to make him break down with a tic or dementia episode so bad that even his cult will ask for the 25th, out of "compassion". That's the best out for Republicans. And really the only way this whole thing goes down without more fascism and a revolution.
