Sorry to be a wet blanket here but what does it matter? He's already in power with his grubby little hands. Even if we knew 100% that it was faked, it wouldn't change anything. Literally nothing would change.
Edit: down vote me if you want, but you know I'm right. No court will remove him at this point. It's over until...
Civil unrest led to the good friday agreement, governments can be forced.

No, you get hope, you cling to it like a motherfucker! That's what these cunts did to get in power, they believed so strongly that they could do it and took every action possible to achieve it.
You must do the same, take every action you are capable of doing and work with others who are also doing the same.
Even if you fail, you can be proud that you fought in whatever capacity you have for what you know to be right.
The rest of the progressive democratic world is right behind you and your countrymen cheering you on and we'll support you in any way we can, let us know what you need.
Thank you. I can't imagine any help you could provide in getting things in that we don't already have, but spreading word of the chaos in America might help keep it from spreading in Europe. I don't know how much US news your average European gets, I'm assuming it used to be way too much, but currently not enough to reflect the severity.
Be the change you want to see
I get it, and you're totally right. But just know that in this context, you're essentially saying "martyr yourself"
There are different levels you can go, there are options in between holding the gun and doing nothing.
In today's America you can be deported to a terrorist prison state for being brownish, regardless of the paperwork. You can be detained for weeks for being a German, dutch, or British tourist, so tell me where that grey area is? Where is that needle thin line where you would go, from the safety of Europe? Tell me the exact guidelines I should follow here, cause they're much tighter than Baghdad circa '05.
Do you even know how big the US is? LA is a 26 hr drive from me. Where the fuck do you want to draw the line? Does that change when it's your country and your life on the line? And most of you are Canadian or European, and a lot of you came real fucking close to the same fatevto a lesser extent. So I ask again, where is your narrow margin where I should sacrifice myself, while you have nothing to lose?
And now we know how Hitler managed to rise to power.
The only way anything changes for the better is because people like you and me and thousands of others fight for it, that's how its worked through all of history.
If we give up and lose hope, we're guaranteeing we'll lose before we've even tried, which is exactly what they want.
Don't give up hope, keep up the fight. We're in a much better position to win this than the Germans ever were in the 30's.
We aren't in the same position Germany was then. Stop comparing today to a hundred years ago.
Is that not exactly my point?
I must have missed it then sorry.
"King George II is already in power, we will never win against the Redcoats"
"The white slave owners are already in power, we will never have more freedom."
"Segregation is already legalized by the supreme court, we'll never be able to change it."
"We'll never have legal interracial marriage."
"We'll never have legal gay marriage."
Let me guess, you're young.
