After Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested cities like Chicago should be used as “training grounds for our military,” Gov. JB Pritzker said the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove the president from office, saying “there is something genuinely wrong with this man.”

“It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in, but he’s copying tactics of Vladimir Putin. Sending troops into cities, thinking that that’s some sort of proving ground for war, or that indeed there’s some sort of internal war going on in the United States is just, frankly, inane and I’m concerned for his health,” Pritzker said Tuesday afternoon. “There is something genuinely wrong with this man, and the 25th Amendment ought to be invoked.”

    That’s the correct approach. Keep calling out the obvious dementia, the guy’s barely a vegetable. Just look at the recent speech with the generals , the orange turd is unrecognisable, he barely moves.

      Also mentioning that you are concerned about his health can help to prevent people from immediately going up in arms by appealing to their empathy (no matter how twisted it is in their heads).

    I know lots of tankies like to jump in and help the qons out by claiming Russia was a “hoax” when it comes to Taco.

    But let’s look at the outcomes - if you were one of our enemies, including Russia, you would be beside yourself in how much damage Taco is doing to this country.

      It’s pretty obvious that Russia owns Trump, but the legitimate evidence of Russian links gathered by Mueller only landed on members of his staff. Even that was soured by suspect evidence (servers in Trump tower, Steele dossier, wikileaks sources, fusion GPS meeting Natalia Veselnitskaya).

    I remember in like 2014 people were saying that Putin had syphallis or dementia or whatever and “wouldn’t last long” in power
