Remove Trump From Office Before He Removes Us from EarthAt what point is it fair and necessary to ask if this man, who was handed power by a minority of voters, is fit to wield it?
Joy-Ann Reid 08.12.17 12:01 AM ET
Did Donald Trump really just walk us to the brink of war with North Korea on a whim this week, or has this all been a figment of our lurid imagination? It seems crazy to contemplate that the world now stands on the edge of disaster because the American president simply lacks self-control. And yet thats exactly the discussion on the table.
Trumps bizarre statements about fire and fury like the world has never seen, coupled with the follow-up press conference in which he declared a whole new ballgame and doubled down on his apparently extemporaneous threats against the North Korean regime should chill the bones of every military family and every American with a child of draft age.
Make no mistake: War with North Korea would be a cataclysm. The Hermit Kingdom possesses long range missiles that could in theory reach the American mainland and apparently, miniaturized nukes, too. Ten million souls live in the shadow of the Kim regime in Seoul, South Korea, including nearly 29,000 American troops. The media walking us through the potential bombers and bombing routes, as if reigniting the active Korean War is a thing to be contemplated by rational minds is almost as barmy as Trumps pronouncements. And yet, with Trump in office, what choice is there?

(40,245 posts)4. History will judge republicans in Washington
harshly. They will be viewed as scoundrels who enabled a madman and betrayed their country.
Where are the heroes? There are none. The republicans are frauds. They are not patriots. The time we live in has shown us who they are.
It is past time for democratic leaders to call for Trump's removal from office.
