This was a prime minister?
Age 34 when she assumed the "PM throne" in Helsinki. But alas, after 3 1/2 years, she was Finnished.
Somebody remind me again why the US doesn't have a Prime Minister?
Wrong.
We have a Party system (controlled by unknown Dark Money funders) that selects members of all 3 branches and hopes it can convince enough votes via a complex mechanism of opponent-denigration, fear-mongering, brand marketing, group-think, crowd-momentum propaganda tactics - all paid for by said Dark Money funders. The voters are merely the mice in the maze whom the socials scientists are trying the coax into a response desired by their respective backers.
So are the selected politicians, by the way. If they behave accordingly, they remain. If they don't, they are primaried and removed from the maze experiment. It's like breeding cattle where the farmer selects for desired traits: milk production, muscle growth size, disease resistance, etc.
I'm picturing cattle as the politicians farmers as the social scientists, and I'm not sure if oxpeckers or gmo grass seed represent the voters.
But wait, how do we fit a cow in the maze?
If they cant primary someone out because they are too popular, they now find a friendly court jurisdiction and bend laws and enact new ones to get someone out.
They would only be found guilty if proved to a unanimous 12 beyond a reasonable doubt.
When trump shoots someone on on 5th Ave., well, I look forward to your posts!
Two impeachments.
Rape, or sexual assault.
Funneling Federal business to his properties.
Stealing of classified documents and lack of cooperation with those attempting to recover: lies, hiding, moving of documents.
Multi-faceted scheme to overturn a national election in coup d'etat style, including false accusations of fraud, extorsion, fake electors, mob gathering at the scene, mob talk ("fight like hell", "we're going to March to the Capitol", etc), violent insurrection.
And that doesn't even consider:
Cheating on wife. No, wiVES!
Calling POW and KIAs losers
Not revealing taxes, breaking tradition and his prior commitment, and lying to public about why (under audit).
NYTimes expose on Trump taxes paid.
NYTimes expose on lifetime of Trump family financial maneuvers to avoid taxes.
Not paying contractors for work they've done.
Countless lawsuits threatening those seeking payment for work they've done.
Race-baiting.
Because this second category is just "character" stuff, but might reasonably be taken into consideration when determining guilt in the first category.
I know I'm forgetting 2x as many problems of his.
