The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc. And get the money out

Trump will pardon himself, his family, his entire cabinet and then some. It will be a historic number of pardons, especially within an administration. It will need to be state level holding them accountable for their crimes.

Me either. They are cowardly, complicit, corrupt liars. They do not love this country. Like Trump, their patriotism is all for show. They are no longer "conservative" but extremist--should be listed as a "terrorist organization." True conservatives need a new party not filthy with Trump corruption.

I don't think it should be free and I think it should have to be paid for out of the money that they get from the government and if they choose attack ads that's fine but they only get a set amount of money and when it's gone it's gone.

It's unfortunate that Americans keep voting for the person who screws everything up, then decide on a President who tries to repair the damage & make life better for them, only to change their mind and decide the repair was taking too long, and once again vote to have everything screwed up again.

IMO, Americans are 1. gullible, too ready to buy snake oil; 2. forgetful; 3. lazy, unwilling to do the work to be informed citizens; 4. don't value education enough; 5. misogynistic--even liberals won't turn out effectively to make a woman President, despite Trump as the alternative.

I think when religion is the problem, it's because other things are already problems. Religion doesn't automaticly make people stupid about politics. Lots of wickedness has indeed been done in the name of religion, but lots of good has been done as well--abolition, labor rights, care for the poor.

While I agree with the ideas here, maybe point out that it’s actually Congress that needs too do these and an unbiased DOJ that should be enforcing the law. If I remember civics correctly, the President can only bully pulpit these and sign laws that are passed. EO’s are the current problems.

Agree with all of these. Likely requires aggressive tactics to create the conditions that allow for deep constitutional reform. Packing SCOTUS seems like only realistic alternative, but it’s a bandaid at best, entirely illegitimate at worst.

We need to do our best to run out the clock on Trump while limiting damage. If we can elect a Democratic President in 2028 we can try to create a managed constitutional crisis with a goal of negotiating a new governing compact.

Citizens United is not a law, and therefor cannot be "repealed". It's a ruling by the corrupt Republican supreme court, which would have to either be overturned by that court, or negated by a new law passed by a majority in the House, a 60 vote majority in the Senate, and then signed by a president.

We need a Dem president who is willing to go after every one of these fucking criminal imbeciles. None of this rule of law shit after the kinds of things these sociopaths have done. Let the next Dem president weaponize the justice department just like these fucking assholes have.

1) i do think they should go after all the corruption of this administrations. 2) have to face political reality that many, many people will look at it as political lawfare and vote these same people back in the cycle afterwards. Trump gets a pass on corruption a D would not. Bizarre but true.

The next President will most likely be a Democrat and so will the next majority of Congress (If we hold elections). The weight cannot solely be placed on them, the Republican party has some significant soul searching to do.

I hope there is an entity that is keeping track of everything in the EO’s because by the time 4 years are up it could take a long amount of time to unravel the wrongs including diminishing voter rights.Not to mention a real Deep State more like a deep swamp that everyone has been posting about.

Ah, how Panglossian we are. Next president, hah! There will be no more free or fair elections. They did not buy the government in order to be held accountable by it. Look at what followed Augustus. We are broken now and our democracy is over.

Get the money BACK. Everything ,every dime trump stolen from taxpayers. All illegal money gained should go to paying off the debt he accumulated in his 1st presidency . The 8 trillion dollar heist. The illegal 2 billion from Saudi Arabia Jared got. Hold him accountable for the state secrets he sold

The issue then is it will take so long to accomplish all of that it will probably consume most of their term and whatever they don’t accomplish because they spend so much time getting all of that done will be used by MAGAs to say they didn’t do anything.

I want to see them all say to a judge, "I was just following orders". It didn't work for the Nazi's at Nuremburg and it won't work for these craven, disgusting people either. As Liz Cheney said he'll be gone one day and all of you will have to answer for your own actions. I live for that day!

This would fall to the next *Democratic* president since the Republican party is nothing but a witchbag of traitors, fascists, grifters and lunatics. So, what happens when that *Democratic* president's reforms are completely obstructed, just as your former party did to Obama?

Don't count on it. He lasts 4-14 years. His sister was 86. His dad, who appeared healthier was 94. At the very best he'll make it through this term. If he were to overcome the 22nd Amendment he could finish at least another term.

I know there will be an election but in the age where election results are tabulated by computers that can be hacked, I do not believe the can ever be fair again. Our president thanks Musk for “knowing vote counting computers better than anyone”. The odds that he won …

Term limits. No dark money. No insider trading. Expand the Supreme Court. No presidential immunity. Do away with the electoral college… So many things to fix. Probably unlikely that we’ll get round to that though because, like he hinted at, there probably won’t be elections over here anymore. 

The Congress has to pass an Amendment clearly stating the Corporations are legally created entities to shield owners/members from legal and financial consequences, not people, and therefore do not have the same Constitutional Rights as people.

We need to figure out how to ensure a free and fair election and vote certification before we get to 2028. Republicans and their billionaire donors have been spending the last five years analyzing how they fell short in overturning the 2020 results to make sure they remain in power this time.

Honestly, he did the best he could but he did not have Congress on his side. And other Democrats absolutely fucking suck and they don’t play like a team. He was only one member of our team - yes, a key member but still only a part of the team. They should have called him Yoda and ran with that.

And address the "root cause" which is the people's anger and rage fueled by the fact that 60% of our population dont have enough income to cover minimal subsistence life style. History tells us that is the red zone for democracy.

Yeah, good luck with that - unless there’s a supermajority in both Houses and a democratic president. They’ll also need a suspension of rules for this and that to stop obstructionist Republican’ts. Basically what the Rs are after now but with people who want to divest power instead of hoard it.

USA had 4 years time to "go after those who broke the law and were corrupt" especially CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK, why are you confident this would happen with next pres, even i believe you will not have fair election anymore and the orange or if he dies who ever from MAGA will not be removable anymore

This of course assumes Trump leaves after his term and doesn’t “place” a puppet in the whitehouse. We are only going to be rid of him when he dies

You know Jr. will run for something, probably Governor of Florida or NY first. These people won’t be satisfied until there is nothing left to govern and the people are on their own

and somehow get control of data back. doge has every classified file: Secret Service, State Dept, CIA, FBI, IRS etc etc... on everyone so will qatar and others. also whoever succeeds 47 will inherit a broke and plundered country and some nasty empowered oligarchs to try and rein in

And pass laws to punish those who spread blatant lies in government, judiciary and media. Punitive laws with penalties of disqualification from office and heavy fines. And set of criteria for high office such as not being a rapist, a serial bankruptee, a convicted criminal or a mental basket case.

I'm not sure we will have a "next" president. This doesn't end with trump. We have an entire "party" who have shown us they are okay with dictatorship and violence

We need the next vice president to do all the reversing of the damage for Trump while the next president moves forward and shores up all relationships and our democracy and puts the protections in place so this doesn’t ever happen again. Twice the work required because of this feckless piece of sh*t

That's one of the things I'm afraid of. Assuming we have free elections and Trump gets outed, the next president's term is going basically going to be spent fixing this shit show of an administration.

Sometimes it takes a negative experience to reveal flaws that will then be corrected to make the system better - until the next flaw reveals itself. It’s called the trial and error way we all adapt to reality
