Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s threats with a backhand:

"So, you voted to build a wall.

Well, dear Americans, even if geography isn’t your strong suit—since you consider America a country rather than a continent—you should know that beyond that wall, there are 7 billion people.

And since the word 'people' might not resonate with you, let’s call them 'consumers.' These 7 billion consumers can switch from iPhones to Samsung or Huawei in less than two days. They can swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti and, within six months, replace Ford and Chevrolet with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW—brands that often outperform in quality.

They can cancel Direct TV, and though they might not want to, they can stop watching Hollywood films in favor of higher-quality productions from Latin America or Europe, which offer richer narratives and better cinematography.

Believe it or not, people can skip Disney and instead visit the Xcaret resort in Cancun, or explore destinations in Mexico, Canada, South America, and Europe. Even in Mexico, you’ll find better hamburgers than McDonald's, with superior nutritional value.

Have you ever seen pyramids in the U.S.? Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, and Sudan all have ancient wonders—none of them in the U.S. If they did, Trump would probably have bought and sold them by now.

We know that Nike isn’t the only sneaker brand—there’s Adidas, and even Mexican brands like Panam. We understand the economy more than you think.

And we also know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying American products, unemployment will rise, and your economy—trapped within its self-imposed wall—will crumble to the point where you'll beg us to tear it down.

We didn’t want to do this, but...

You wanted a wall? Well, you got one."

And this is just the beginning of the foreign fallout coming our way compliments of our Führer. Thanks again, MAGATS! You own this and what is to come!

According to the 14th Amendment, 47 is in office illegally':

Section 3

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."


They did not vote to allow him to run. His "presidency" is null and void.

Acquitted is not the same as deciding to stop proceedings. 47 was NOT "acquitted". Those federal charges still stand. He was also found guilty of 34 FELONY offenses. Ignoring the courts is not the same as acquittal, either.

47, by definition, is a criminal, and should not have been allowed to run. The Senate is NOT a court. They are more like a grand jury, and only let him off because of the GOP majority. If the vote had been honest, he would be actually tried in a federal court. (And been found guilty.)

The backlash against Trump's fascism has started a civil response against what appears to be a Trump illegal war against brown people, intellectuals, political opponents, fact-based journalists and, soon, you and me.

ICE's HSI unit conducted a raid at a popular restaurant in San Diego's South Park neighborhood. About 3 dozen agents, some in full tactical gear, arrested restaurant workers while patrons there and around the area were enjoying dinner. The federal agents didn't expect a resounding rejection by the neighbors and patrons. The community spontaneously protested the ICE agents. ICE discharged three flash-bang grenades to disperse the crowd.  The people instead pushed ICE agents out of their community forcing the vehicles to retreat, shouting anti-fascist slogans. This is the way it should be everywhere.

Eegore. Unprecedented. Look it up.

 I'm familiar.  Nothing, absolutely nothing in the US Constitution indicates that the US Senate does not make the final decision regarding impeachment.  It does however specifically indicate how it applies to the POTUS.

 It literally outlines the procedure for use regarding the US President.  The argument that it never happened before is flawed for two reasons:

1:  It has happened before, Presidents have been impeached for crimes with Senate vote.  No other crimes apply to this per US law.  That would literally be unconstitutional.

2:  Precedent has never been required to apply law.  Nothing about Trump justifies making up new ways to apply the laws today.


 Also nothing about your argument regarding Article 1 Section 2 indicates a difference in contemporary application.  Your statement "The Senate is NOT a court." is clearly you not understanding it is the Sole power/court regarding impeachment of the POTUS and no other Federal court is involved.  Your "he would be actually tried in a federal court" assessment is wrong.  Nothing about "precedent" changes the fact you claimed something that is factually incorrect and provable as such with volumes of empirical data.

 Your precedent defense does not apply.  You simply do not look at procedure before you claim to know what it is.  Trump can be a criminal without making up imaginary legal procedures and ways to make it apply uniquely to Trump and no other human.

 You worship a devil. [/quote]  

a lot of that goes on here

None of that has worked yet. I could start lying today, and lie every ten minutes from now on, and 47 would still lead me by THOUSANDS of lies.  47 and ALL of his supporters should be in jail. Actually, even that is not enough. After the attempted coup on January 6, if this were 100 years ago, they'd have all been hanged within the month. Everybody KNOWS that is truth, no matter how MAGATs try to reframe the narrative. I want the SOB and his sycophants GONE. If I have to lie to get rid of him, so be it. Pointing out the truth has no effect on his buttlickers, so maybe lying is what morons understand. We'll see.

This is the type of person who key Teslas, locks police officers in their building and sets it on fire, wear masks and attacks within the safety of large mobs……or the ultimate personification of a keyboard warrior.

Not 100% positive but I got a good guess.
