For anybody that's interested, it looks like the source of this visualization is sort of this Reddit post on r/dataisbeautiful.
At the very least, it's OC of the same numbers, but slightly different layout.
You know, personally, I don't think the rumours of Trump being an active foreign agent instead of "just" a narcissist grifter are useful, because they can be used to argue that things weren't already pretty borked before in the status quo.... (and I think they are wrong, personally)
But I do have to admit - if I was a foreign agent wanting to destroy the US and its influence in the world, I would basically do exactly what he is doing.
They should've added Trump 2016 too, dunno what would it look like but omitting stuff isn't great
Good bot - way to sow doubt. Fucker.
Obama 2013 doesn’t really make any sense. He was already president, so nothing changed. 2009 is probably much worse cause of Bush’s recession.
Bad bot. Making so obviously provocative and distracting content is a give away. FUCKER.
Do you not have the ability to take a vote of no confidence in the US? Or are you.just stuck with it for 4 years and he can do whatever?
They have an impeachment process which they tried a few years back twice but didn't work. It is like black magic, a whole lot of mumbo jumbo for literally nothing.
Impeachment doesn't seem like it actually does anything. It's like an official slap on the wrist.
Maybe the laws were written back when politicians had a sense of shame and they just assumed that an impeached president would resign.
It is a 2 part process. If you think of it like a criminal offense, impeachment is a charge. Then the Senate convicts. He caught 2 charges and the Senate voted him innocent.
So long as he holds at least 33% support in the Senate, he's safe.
50% in Congress for bringing the articles (charges). 67% of Senate to convict
My point exactly. US politics have become so divided that a sitting president would never be found guilty by his own party members, which would be necessary for conviction considering how the two parties always get near-equal amount of representatives. The system is stacked so that an impeachment will never have any effect on a sitting president.
Exactly.
The US system has bunch of things that don’t have explicitly defined penalties, because just the act itself was so shameful that it itself was the punishment.
But now they have a president with zero shame and zero morals - the processes don’t work.
Impeachment DOES have a defined penalty if found guilty
But the chances of being found guilty by the cult of bootlickers Trump has in Congress is slim to none.
If you're found guilty in impeachment you're removed from office... Just because you don't understand the full process doesn't mean it's toothless
