Very, very reassuring that France has nukes. Last time I checked France also had upcoming elections, and a presidential candidate with financial ties to Russia.
Oh, before you come up with the idea that the UK also has nukes and doesn’t seem to be likely to like Russian international policies: their last Trident test nearly hit Florida. Or so rumours in the Houses went.
Also, come to think of it, since when have nukes been any idea of a trouble-solving approach?
No, please don’t answer that question!

I have two stupid questions regarding impeachment and stepping down scenarios:
Does the VP take over, then? What happens with all the other members of his “team”?

That’s pretty openly unapologetic. Derailing, denying, reframing, and gaslighting are no form of apology.
It’s a “who you gonna believe, me or your lyin eyes?” moment.

That’s the place you suggest to go for “facts” for the future? That’s where you get your news? Good luck with that. I’m sure trump will be perfectly honest to you and you alone.

In the first case, “unlikely to understand” is correct. He’s right in there with the white nationalist geniuses like Spencer who believe that homemade bunkers and gated compounds and white homelands will somehow spare them from the effects of radioactive fallout, microbes, etc.
In the second case it’s “most unlikely to care.” He has as much regard for civilian lives as do Daesh.

Bullshit framing. Obama paused refugees from Iraq. That’s all. He didn’t stop green card holders or anyone else–just refugees. Also, that website? Really? Welcome to BoingBoing! I look forward to more of your crappy links in the future.
“librul” LOL, go back to grade school, child.

Threat of nukes is usually enough. UK is leaving the EU so they aren’t our problem any more. AFAIK few countries like Germany and even the Swedes can build nukes too.

The “floundering” is mere distraction from the “laundering” of illicit gains and the American peoples’s communal assets 
Follow the money trail, keep demanding those tax returns

Ordered lists start at 1, not at 9. That’s why.
You can force it to start at 9 by escaping the period.

JFC. Nukes! Everybody get nukes and the world will be much nicer! Get yourself some coffee, take a few deep breaths, and back away from the keyboard for a few hours. You’ve earned some rest.

False historical analogies? The USA got rid of Hirohito. The Soviet Union got rid of Hitler. And, in fact, it was the Italian government that deposed Mussolini when it became obvious that the war was lost; at that point US involvement in Europe was still minor.
I will be lectured on false analogies, but only by people who actually know more about WW2 than I do.
Seriously, if you can’t see the parallels between the 1920s/30s fascists and Trump, you need to read more. And not just US history books, which tend to ignore anything but US involvement (e.g. from Stephen Ambrose’s book on D-Day you would get the idea that 80% of the Allied effort was American, because he just passes over the Canadian and British effort. It’s true the US provided most of the matériel, but not the manpower.)
Trump was elected on a string of statements that were populist and not easily assigned to a political leaning. Now, instead of being advised by the experts of his own government, he has brought in an unqualified inexperienced outsider of notoriously right wing, anti women and anti Muslim views (substitute Muslim for Slavs, perhaps.) He is trying to govern by directive - so not at all like Fuhrer Directives, then. In the country he has a large reserve of armed supporters, though they haven’t yet been mobilised. This may prove to be alarmist for various reasons, but the parallels are there.
Thanks, apparently, to a failure in the US-supplied navigation system. “Our” nuclear deterrent is about as much “ours” as a leased US Ford would be if it came with an American chauffeur who was the only person allowed to drive it.
Owned up? They were proud of it and wrote extensively about it. They thought racism and sexism were good things.

Well yes @Brainspore , there was that thing about Rassenschande i.e. race humiliation, which was the Nazi’s description of a mixed marriage.
A considerable section of the Christian churches including the Pope condoned the ideology and justified the racist element by referring back to the Erbsünde i.e. original sin a mess of killing the first born back in Egypt and killing (at least betraying him) the Messiah aka Jesus and various myth about ritual murder carried out by Jews.
The Nazis also were in the habit of describing Jews as Parasites i.e. Blutsauger (Bloodsuckers).
In summary I would venture to state that yes they were darn racist and out and proud about it.

Oh, quite obviously. I just wonder if they embraced the TERM “racist.” Even the KKK shies away from describing themselves that way even though it is pretty much their entire reason for existing.

4. Only a member of the race can be a citizen. A member of the race* can only be one who is of German blood, without consideration of creed. Consequently, no Jew can be a member of the race.(NSDAP's platform, I copied Wikipedia's translation)
* this is a transliteration, not translation. The original “Volksgenosse” is more of an euphemism
