that's the hidden secret of ireland the president is a largely ceremonial position and we're still backwards as gently caress when it comes to laws. we just gave a maternity hospital to a group of loving nuns! the same nuns who abused kids and stole children from mothers in the 50s and 60s. backwards as gently caress. but our president is rad as hell

And so the next best thing is watching him squirm and hate whatever he is doing.
And so yeah, better than letting him slink away after the Brexit fiasco.

Trump's equivalent could be ambassador to Mexico.

Fair enough. I come from America, where a politician quietly slinking away is so rare we enjoy it in contrast to remaining in the public eye, continuing to suck up money forever.

I'm swimming in this trash, and much like the manual labor jobs I had back when I had to afford community college or a doctor appointment, I get the occasional squirt of garbage-juice into my mouth.

A lot of the time I just stare at poo poo in this thread and other places on the internet that talk about or quote Trump and shake my head/laugh/roll my eyes so far back I get dizzy.

But some of the time I feel really bad for all the americans that finished high school and understand cause and effect and saw this shitshow coming a thousand miles away, powerless to stop it because so much of the country has been systematically brainwashed for decades. I'm not gonna pretend I know how american politics work but Trump's fuckups and misquotes and misrepresentations of data are so severe that even I can tell that he's a very dumb teenager with undiagnosed narcissism and possibly an early onset of dementia stuck in a fat balding old man's body. I thank my lucky star everyday that I was born across the pond from the dystopian hellscape that Trump and the reacharound swapfest that the GOP is are turning the US into.
Fun fact: Due to a chronic disease I have, I would most likely become an invalid under the new health care bill. Or at the very least completely dependent on my parents and their savings.

As an idiot child of the usa, could you explain to me how Pelosi would make it in? I was under the impression succession indicated Pence is close enough to Trump he'd get knocked down too and Ryan would come after him.

Trump and Pence impeached and removed from office.

President Paul Ryan Bud Dwyers himself after taking the Oath of Office.

President Orin Hatch goes down in flames when he's found soliciting sex from a male page just minutes after taking HIS Oath of Office.

President Tillerson resigns because not even his wife can harangue him into taking the job. Also he's very tired and needs a nap. Oh, and more light treason.

President Mnuchin hurls himself from the Washington Monument, gibbering about space worms and hounds lurking in the corner of your eye.

I can understand an idiot child. Hell, I can understand an idiot adult. Trump had his whole life to understand that eugenics is disproven, wrong, and evil. But he still believes that he and his family are from a higher breed of human. He's a New Yorker, and there are thousands of homeless, downtrodden, and derelict peoples that he has seen outside his limo window, possibly even walked by on the street. He doesn't care. He built a golf course next to a housing project. He doesn't care.

In Canada, I went to the ER because I had an abscess on my tonsils, turns out it was peritonsilitis, a symptom of strep throat. Had to get it lanced and drained. All I paid for in the end was $30 for anti-biotics.

The US system truly baffles me. People would rather everyone around them die than contribute a marginal amount of their income tax to a single payer system.

I wonder if people like Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan wonder how history will examine their legacy 100 years from now, if they are truly proud of what they have accomplished, and if they even care.

For the Milton Friedman, Atlas Shrugged types, they are indeed super proud and happy that poor people will be suffering, that workers will be paid in "paid time off" instead of overtime, and that corporations will have no overarching regulatory framework stopping them from exploiting every last sliver of the natural and social world.

For the "my constituents are honest, simple people and we need a limited government" morons, they don't think. They just repeat statements and cash checks.
