The Constitutional Plan to End The Trump Regime



I wake up daily to disturbing posts from the President of the United States. These disturbing rants prove we are no longer dealing with normal political discourse, but a calculated authoritarian playbook. The noise gets so loud that many people tune it out. We can't afford to look away.

We must connect the dots between history, psychology, and the Constitution to see exactly where we stand:

The "Invasion" Narrative: Trump uses specific language against Minnesota, Governor Walz, and Rep. Ilhan Omar that mirrors the exact historical propaganda used to justify cruelty.

The Psychology of "But...": Interviews with Minnesota voters reveal a pattern: they acknowledge the chaos but refuse to leave the narrative. MAGA operates as an identity, not just a vote.

The Constitutional Solution: The "Nuclear Option" exists. A specific, multi-step strategy involving the Midterms, the Speaker of the House, and a double impeachment process (starting with J.D. Vance) finally leads to accountability.

The Global Cost: Our domestic chaos serves as a direct gift to Putin and threatens Ukraine.

We move beyond just surviving the days. We find the way through.

We are running out of options — this might be the solution.

For the love of all that is good and holy — we need a solution to make sure these EVIL FUCKERS don’t win…

as for confirming a new vp , i don't think we should confirm anyone. maybe a career diplomat as ambassador but certainly not an appeals court judge or federal prosecutor..

...then the Speaker of the House becomes president. And after January 2027, it's very realistic that Speaker will be Hakkem Jeffries.

Members of Congress recoiled at the idea of Agnew becoming president if they impeached President Richard Nixon over Watergate. Agnew had to go, and go before Nixon.

He came under investigation by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland as part of a corruption scandal. Agnew eventually pleaded nolo contendre (no contest) to one count of tax evasion and resigned as vice president in 1973. Nixon replaced him with Republican Gerald Ford.

Nixon was named by a grand jury as an unindicted co-conspirator in connection with the Watergate burglary, while seven former members of his administration were indicted on charges of conspiring to hinder the investigation of the burglary. He resigned in August, 1974 after meeting with Republican leaders on Congress who told him he wouldn't get much support in a vote on impeachment.

I think it could work. If McConnell can refuse to confirm Garland back in 2016, we can refuse to confirm a vp.

In what universe are there sufficient votes to convict and remove Vance from the Vice Presidency? It takes 67 votes, assuming all 100 Senators are present. Including Sanders and King, the Democrats currently control 47 Senate seats. There are 20 Republican held seats on the ballot in 2026 -- does anyone, anywhere, believe the Democrats are going to capture every Republican-held seats? Does anyone, anywhere think there would be sufficient Repubs willing to vote to convict JD Vance or Trump?

the state murdering U.S. citizens could.

also, you assume all republicans would continue to vote as a monolith. That may not necessarily be the case.

Finally, you have completely ignored the fallout from Epstein.

You can’t just look at numbers under the circumstances of today. You have to take into consideration events that are present now and how they might play out.

where removal in the Senate required 67 votes, and we could have 51 or 52 or so under the most hopeful circumstances.

Let's go through this idea.

Democrats win the House. Ok, I'll buy that.
Democrats win the Senate. Lets say for the sake of this that we do, and let's even give us 53 votes there for lulz.
Hakeem Jeffries becomes Speaker, and 3rd in line for the Presidency.

Democrats bring impeachment against Vance. OK, the House with a Democratic Majority could do this at any point they wanted.
Remove JD Vance......This is where the whole plan falls apart. Who are the 14+ R Senators that you need to make that happen?

Hold the VP open. Sure Democrats could do that with a Senate Majority, no problem.

Impeach Trump. The House Majority could absolutely do this.

Remove Trump and Install Jeffries. Again, who are the 14+ R's that you'd need to go along with the idea of removing a Republican President and putting in a Democratic one?
