With his current mental state I'm pretty sure anyone could hide behind a bush and tell him they're God and that he should drop out. I think it would work.

While I hate what this means in general; be honest, is anyone going to miss Liz Cheney?

As I mentioned on another comment, there is no mechanism for the court to enforce that. The DOJ is under the President. Who will arrest the President? The SC may think this empowers them more, but it really does not.

As bad of a rep as they get, having an AR-15 is a really good idea. Readily available parts and ammo. Very easy to use. Easy to clean. Overall a good choice.

Please tell me what capacity any court has to enforce a ruling against a sitting President. I'll wait.

As that bastard Andrew Jackson once (allegedly) said "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."

Yes, you should. And train with them. Find nearby like-minded people you can train with. You don't need many, but you really need to know how to use them.

Ah, right, certainly the next President will also behave the same way...

This feels terribly naive. It would be one thing if we could cement into the Constitution that the President does not have immunity, but Congress can barely pass a funding bill, let alone an amendment. But failing to use the power granted to try and set the country on a better path just ensures that a dictator will rise who does not care about keeping the status quo. And Trump will have a rubber-stamp SC that will say any act he seems to be official is.

Good. The other justices don't deserve any respect.

There are certainly more than that ready to go to war. But they're also smart enough not to out themselves for some petty stuff like this or the Trump trial. They'll stay hidden until the time is right to try something serious. Don't underestimate how many right-wing Americans are out there ready for violence.

Trump is no Mandela. And something tells me Trump's supporters would feel very different about voting for someone like Mandela...

Sure, it's all about choices. You've made your own. Hopefully you're able to enjoy your retirement. But if those choices don't work out, hopefully you're not bitter and blaming others.

You are placing a lot of unwarranted faith in remaining healthy into retirement and your savings being enough for whatever situation we face them.

My dad decided to save up and wait until retirement to do some travel he wanted to do. A couple years later he has a major health issue and is unable to travel like he wanted to.

I don't begrudge anyone enjoying themselves with the time they have while they are young and healthy.
