Donald I, emperor of the world.

Eeyore alert. I suspect not only that the 25th will not be invoked, but the mid-terms won’t happen either. Why? The US will be at war.
I fear that the Iran war is just an extension of Gaza and Ukraine. Cuba and Greenland are next by which time we are in WWIII. Weakening Europe and NATO is not an accident, it is intentional. At which time the US is no longer in a “special relationship”, or even an ally, but the enemy.
Vance in Hungary is another small step.

Yep! My one hope with this whole shitshow is that, be it through the mid-terms or the presidential election in 2028, Trump will be either neutered or out of office completely. I'm not holding my breath.

It won't happen.

You can’t agree with my post and hope for the mid-terms.
If my fears are realised there will not be any mid-terms.

I'd don't know US Constitution, election rules but why would US being at war stop the mid-term elections?

US territory is not under threat or constraint. Quite easy for all US troops to get to cast their vote (ie none in trenches on any front line). Not a Presidential election so Commander in Chief not going to change.

Somewhere like Ukraine clearly elections in their war become impossible eg a vast number of troops in fairly inaccessibe front lines, a significant number of the electorate in occupied territories (how to they get to cast their votes), etc. but US very different.

Since when did Trump respect rules?

He has a free pass from Congress and SCOTUS, so who is going to stop him cancelling elections?

Well, if MAGAndy suddenly stops posting it'll be because he's wanked himself to death over this. At least he'll have died with a smile on his face, and the rest of us can walk into the approaching thermonuclear storm a little lighter of heart because of it. Small mercies.

A little later in my post I hypothesised that we could be in WWIII. All norms are off the table at that stage. As if he cares anyway.

Not Trűmpton but also not worthy of a seperate new thread. hypocrisy yet not even smart enough to notice:

JD Vance accuses EU of ‘interference’ as he flies to Hungary to help Orbán win election
JD Vance has railed against the EU, accusing it of blatantly interfering in Hungary’s upcoming elections, even as the US vice-president said he had travelled to Budapest to “help” Viktor Orbán win Sunday’s vote.

Little does he know that he's actually campaigning for the opposition.

Farage will be up in arms at the lack of sovereignty being displayed.

It show how deep their delusion runs and egotistical they all are, to think that all they have to do is to show up and utter some ridiculous words and the Hungarian voters will return to the fascist fold.

The problem with people who want to watch the world burn is that they never seem to understand that they will burn too.
