MAGA’s loudest voices call for Tr*mp’s removal as his presidency explodes into a 5-alarm fire

As the Vietnam War raged on, Walter Cronkite filed a special report with a rare on-air commentary. In it, the legendary CBS anchor declared the catastrophic conflict, well into its second decade, was destined to “end in a stalemate.”

Upon watching Cronkite’s warning, President Lyndon B. Johnson reportedly remarked that if he had lost the venerated newsman, he had “lost Middle America.” Two months later, LBJ announced he would not seek re-election in 1968.

In today’s America, there’s no equivalent to Cronkite, and “Middle America” has disintegrated into a million little echo chambers. But we are experiencing a similar breaking point. For three straight days, D*nald Tr*mp has threatened to commit war crimes in Iran and destroy the country of 90 million people.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” the 79-year-old declared Tuesday morning.

How about we take this to the next level?

In response, the loudest carnival barkers in the MAGA echo chamber are publicly denouncing the president. Even for them, genocidal insanity is a step too far.

Now the question is, will our country be rescued from the nuclear brink? For humanity’s sake, here’s hoping the answer is yes.

“How do we 25th Amendment his a**?”

Alex Jones, a desperate and defeated people turn their weary eyes to you. The arch conspiracy theorist has broken with the president over his illegal war in Iran, recently praying that Tr*mp is “rescued from the evil control he’s under.”

Now, the Info Wars host wants Tr*mp out of office. “How do we 25th Amendment his a**?,” he asked on his show.

Marjorie Taylor Greene issued the same demand. “25TH AMENDMENT!!!” she posted Tuesday. “This is evil and madness.”

While we’ve known for a decade that Tr*mp is deranged and unfit for office, we won’t discourage anybody from joining the chorus. We appear to be on the verge of catastrophe, engineered by the President of the United States in our name. Now is not the time for purity tests!

We remain suspicious of MTG’s rebrand while hoping her calls for intervention are heeded. The situation is spiraling out of control.

On Easter Sunday, Tr*mp threatened to bomb Iran’s power plants, which is almost certainly a war crime. The Geneva Convention, ratified after WW2, prohibits the targeting of critical civilian infrastructure.

Using expletives, POTUS said he would attack if Iran didn’t fully open the Strait of Hormuz.

“Open the F*ckin’ Strait, you crazy b*stards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!,” he posted at 7:03 a.m. EST before concluding with a very Christian message: “Praise be to Allah.”

Tr*mp’s mockery of Islam sent one of his most steadfast boosters, Tucker Carlson, over the edge.

The biggest defection

For months, Carlson has lambasted the Administration for its unauthorized campaigns against Iran and Venezuela. But the ex-Fox News host has avoided criticizing Tr*mp directly.

Until now. After his Easter morning missive, Carlson ripped into Tr*mp with a scathing monologue.

“How dare you speak that way on Easter morning to the country?” he said. “Who do you think you are? You’re tweeting out the f-word on Easter morning.”

Carlson went on to call Tr*mp’s threats “vile on every level.” He also took issue with the president lampooning Islam.

“No decent person mocks other people’s religions,” he said.

In keeping with our theme, people of all political stripes welcomed Carlson’s words.

Carlson also called for military officers to take away the nuclear codes…

The end of an empire

If one were to draw up the end of the American Empire, it would look a lot like the current moment.

At the White House on Monday, Tr*mp rambled on about the war effort beside an Easter Bunny. It was a visual that even the strongest high would struggle to produce.

“I don’t think it gets much more hostile than Iran,” he said. “They’re capable fighters, they’re very tough people. You don’t mind when the enemy is weak, but that enemy is strong. Not so strong like they were about a month ago, I can tell you. Right now, they’re not too strong at all in my opinion.”

Later in the White House briefing room, Tr*mp gushed over the military’s apparent rescue of an injured airman whose plane was shot down in Iran.

Oozing with incoherence, his words were impossible to follow.

“They came in so fast and so hard and these guys knew exactly what—‘let’s go, come in, get in, let’s go, pwah!,'” he said. “They came right after another. Not at the same time. They don’t want to come at the same time. They had to come right after each other. They didn’t have any room.”

And we, clearly, do not have a sane president in office.

MS NOW medical analyst Dr. Vin Gupta said he’s certain the soon-to-be 80-year-old Tr*mp is suffering from dementia.

Will the 25th Amendment be invoked?

With all that said… we’re not hopeful! Ratified in 1967, the 25th Amendment would require the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare that Tr*mp is unable to discharge his power or duties.

While an increasing number of Democrats are calling for the 25th Amendment, no elected Republican has followed suit.

As Tr*mp teases genocide, JD Vance, who would be responsible for invoking the clause, is all the way in Hungary.

Thirsty for approval, the VP echoed Tr*mp’s threats in a speech Tuesday.

That’s right: the situation is so dire, Alex Jones has a stronger grip on reality than our Vice President. That’s not good.
