    We have what appear to be two incidents that DJT is getting more unhinged.

    1). https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/insi...apshotKey=GMLEFEF1A2-snapshot-7&ocid=msedgntp

    Retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson told the 'Judging Freedom' program that during a Saturday White House meeting, President Trump allegedly sought to use nuclear codes but was stopped by General Dan Caine. Johnson claimed Caine invoked his authority as a senior military leader to refuse the order, resulting in a significant blow-up. These allegations remain unverified but suggest an extraordinary moment of military resistance to a presidential directive


    2)https://www.google.com/search?q=tru...I3NTQ4ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

    • The Context: The incident occurred during a briefing on a military scenario involving a downed aircraft and a recovery operation.
    • The "Meltdown": Sources described the incident as an hours-long outburst where Trump allegedly interrupted advisors and delivered a prolonged rant, leaving staff "visibly shaken".

    Addendum and questio: Does Trump have unlimited sole discretion to "push the button"? Hopefully not. Is this what DJT meant when he said "a civilization might die tonight"

    Trump says some dumb things but he hasn't actually done anything crazy. In contrast, the crooked Biden Regime opened the border to 10 million illegals and none of you ever complained, let alone mentioned the 25th.

    Of course we all know that Obama was the real president dyring the Biden Regime and remains the leader of the Deep State. As you know Obama recently dispatched David Axelrod to Rome to meet with the Pope. As to why the supposed "Vicar of Christ" was meeting with a political activist is another thread. Anyway, a few days later three Cardinals appeared on 60 Minutes (parrot of the Washington Establishment) to bash Trump. Shortly thereafter the "Vicar of Christ" bashed Trump.

    You have been mislead about many things.

    He's crazy enough to do it, but I would hope that we have enough people in power with an ounce of brains to stop that from ever happening. It's pretty disturbing when the craziest and most dangerous of all is the President himself. Dude is raging, whining, crying non-stop on Truth Social, spewing so much BS it's head spinning. He's going mad before our eyes. He will blow up anything and everything in his path to get what he wants, regardless of the harm he causes around the entire world. His common sense, diplomacy, and integrity are gone. That batsh*t crazy egomaniac is unfit to be running this country.

    Probably right, and it says a lot about the Republican party of Trump. Not a single one of those spineless cowards ever deserves to be voted into office again. They are complicit in every destructive and dangerous decision Trump keeps making. His enablers are worthless. They aren't serving the people, they are serving Trump.

    "he hasn't done anything crazy" lol







    Openly selling pardons for millions of dollars on the open market and peddling billion dollar crypto scams stealing money from everyday Americans is somehow "nothing crazy" lol. The funniest thing is when his cultists @Space Ghost will tell you he's somehow "pro crypto" when he's peddling scams left and right

    MAGA is the dumbest cult ever formed.

    You must refuse illegal order. Other than that, yea, he has the sole discretion.

    Yeah, it drives me crazy when people bring up the 25th amendment. It ain't happening! There is no way Vance and this Cabinet is going to declare Trump 'mentally unfit.' Maybe if he has a stroke and can't speak. Short of that, forget it. It is more unlikely than a removal by impeachment, which is nigh impossible itself.

    Yeah. Not only would the Cabinet be voting Trump out, they'd be voting Vance in, which means a number of them would be replaced. Not happening.

    Should it happen yes, will it, hell no. This boot licking Congress has no balls, I am convinced nothing he does will make Mike Johnson and Co do ANYTHING, even when they know it's not best for America

    Same thing for Impeachment, its symbolic and will not do anything. I think once this admin is gone, the next Admin better dam well hire independent special counselors and let them figure out which crimes were broken and that will be their job 24/7................and I think were gonna need a whole bunch of them

    Unfortunately Trump will most likely croak before he has to pay for any of his crimes or face the consequences of any of his actions.

    That is, at best, a lightly-sourced story. Still, the problem is that it is also a believable story for this president and would be wholly unbelievable for any other post-WWII president. I guess we will need to wait for some Post or Times reporter to write a book before we know for sure.

    It won’t happen. What I’ve learned most through the trump years is this country doesn’t hold men like this accountable…for anything. Instead we elect them to the highest office in the land and dare to call ourselves a Christian nation. Just zero humility or accountability for or around any of it. I’d like to think we won’t lose the Republic, but would that really be surprising at this point?

    Can you imagine if Trump was black and did this **** lol??? Of course you can’t cause he woudn’t have been elected to begin with. I put a ton of blame on people who love to complain but won’t vote….and the Bernie Bros. Congrats for speeding up the bobsled to Hell, fellas. Great work.

    Literally real time redacting Epstein files about child rape with his name appearing more times than any other than Epstein and the b**** already in prison (who he made sure has an easier stay now) and just nothing from the people who were all about holding people accountable. All full of **** while we attack a nation we were told less than a year ago was decimated and that if we disagreed it was “fake news.” No integrity. No accountability. No one shows up to vote. We may be getting what we deserve. Breaks my heart, honestly. I serve a very different King but I love the idea of this country so much. Ugh.
