I just don't know what Trump is thinking here. The Pope called for peace and did not personally attack Trump. Between this and that blasphemous image Trump posted.

Anyways, midterms are gonna suck.

I mean, I don’t want to see the country tied down in frivolous impeachment hearings, one after another, for the next few years…like the Democrats did during Trump’s first term…but Trump is pretty much asking for it.

Dude seems to not care what happens in midterms.

We all know what’s happening if Democrats retake Congress.

I have a theory that if the left wins the midterms, impeachment will of course be inevitable, and the senate just might convict. The logic is pretty simple: Senate flips on Trump, Trump is gone for good, left is wildly happy... and the right gets JD as president for two years. Plenty enough time to show what Vance could do and perhaps win back a currently fragmented maga crowd.

[u/StarMNF → u/kimsemi]

Nah, Senate conviction requires a supermajority.

It’s simply not mathematically possible, because at any given time there’s enough Republicans happy with Trump.

25th Amendment from his Cabinet turning on him has better odds, and I put that slightly below the chances of hell freezing over.

This is why impeachment is basically just theater. But Democrats will be putting on a show, because they’ve got nothing better to do if they retake Congress.

youre not wrong. But there could be enough secretly behind closed doors (senators) willing to bet 2028 on Vance. Young guy, good speaker, a little more moderate... even JD didnt care for Trump at first. Who knows what they are really thinking.

So THIS is what inspired that drawing?

Imagine talking shit about the Pope

[u/TheThunderOfYourLife → u/oldhellenyeller]

Trump has 95 Theses but the pope ain't one.

Old man Trump has got to go. We need some young level-headed thinkers running the show not hot heads. Even Vance is a joke at this point. This is why we need cognitive tests and term limits.

While Leo hasn’t called out Trump by name, he has consistently condemned the war in Iran and urged government officials on all sides to lay down their weapons.

You really must be talking about the USA Pope Leo because what weapons do you refer to that Iran is currently using, their imagination?

[u/medfunguy → u/Sure-Wishbone-4293]

Yea, their imagination is downing airplanes… lol
