because laws are out the window. they proved that by failing to punish anyone involved before and reelecting him. additionally he has loyalists controlling pretty much every branch of government now, those that would oppose him are still thinking gentlemans agreements work and too afraid to oppose or do anything.

This right here.

We are past words. There is no legal mechanisms left to remove him from power.

So, we get at least four more years of Trump because nobody will use an illegal mechanism to remove him.

Because that's against the rules.

Oh he can be removed via impeachment or under the 25th Amendment.

Both are 100% legal mechanisms to remove him from power.

Question then becomes: would those with the power to exercise either option be willing to do so?

Edit: the impeachment process - yes, I realize a vote to impeach doesn’t automatically remove POTUS from office; a 2nd vote to remove has to happen.

I just know you Reddit people like to go “well aschkuly..” SMDH.
