I hate the thought of him making it to the end of his term, but

maybe we should consider some of the things he may have learned from his first term that he might modify to continue his criminality.

For instance, I think he will declassify many, many documents that should not be declassified so he can take them and sell or trade the information or just use directly for his own benefit.

I think he might extend security for himself and family beyond norms, beyond agents on a more permanent basis at taxpayers expense. Remember, he removed secret service from people to get revenge.

He will take things from the Whitehouse that belong to the People. Maybe loot museums, allow destruction of certain historical items specific to minorities. If he follows through with adding his signature to the $100 dollar bill, how many of the first bills or sheets will he take. It's relatively innocuous but still, it's crooked.

So, what are your thoughts

6. What will it take for the SSC to remove Trump's immunity and for Congress to impeach?

That is the best route, however improbable it looks at present.

Trump sees his end and wants to put a Trump stamp on everything he can conceive.

Trump is eager to "win" a world changing nuclear war.

Guy is a blasphemy no matter what one's core beliefs that puts all at risk.

7. I get it. It'll take two years to get him out of an office he'd have been leaving in six months anyways. ...

... I am certain that if it hasn't struck him by now, soon he's going to have to have a plan for avoiding the possibilities of spending huge amounts of money getting rid lawsuits or imprisonment every day until the day he dies.

We need to organize the vote for every single office above dogcatcher. That's the only way to stop him and his. Who's going to be JD Vance's VP when Marine One whisks him aboard some Russian Oligarch's yacht to sail off to where ever?

I think impeaching him might just be an empty gesture. Let's start labeling him a lame duck President, like he did to Barack Obama. I think he's going to quit and make a run for the border.

10. If early, we would get kissass Vance who is beholden to Theil and the extreme right wing.

12. Declassification would not permit him to take information with him after his term ends

Anything considered National Defense Information, classified or not, is protected under the law, and unauthorized removal, possession or retention is a crime.

13. Forgive my ignorance, but I thought once something is declassified

it no longer has the cloak of secrecy. It can be spoken of in public. Not necessarily presented to the public but not under strict security either.
I remember when he originally stole the material, a theory was banterred about that if the President "says" it's not classified then it isn't. "They" tried to claim that just the act of the Felon taking the files automatically mean it was declassified. We all know that was b.s..
But if what you say is true, then why would it matter if it was declassified or not.
