He's not going anywhere

I doubt they're that naive.

These are strongly worded tweets, though.

He would drag that out too . Maybe if JD. started salivating for a promotion.

It's obvious he is not having fun pretending to be POTUS.

If he gets 25th out of office, is that his ticket out of all the legal cases against him?

I won't make it.

the first four and we will make it through these four.

I seem to remember a bunch of people losing theirs recently

pretty happy with my Blue Shield health insurance plan. It is a little pricey though.

Tomorrow never knows.

Now he’s in the throes of dementia, surrounded by some the dumbest, most sadistic, wackos on the planet.

Johnson won’t be Speaker. Dems will chair committees, including those that will investigate TSF and his cronies. The only legislation that will be introduced will be bills Dems support. Senators may open their eyes as to the possibility of their losing their seats in later elections. Etc.

they need to focus on that little Nazi Stephen Miller.

They may have no power to do anything but at least they're saying something. Not that every news source will quote them but maybe, just maybe, they just might get the people who can do something to listen to them and take some action. It's better than nothing.

A girl can dream, can't she?

Sometimes I wonder whether the folks demanding the 25th amendment be invoked understand how it works and how, ultimately, it would require 2/3 vote of both house of Congress to make it stick.

If Congress won't impeach, which takes a simple majority in the House and 2/3 in the Senate, why would it vote 2/3 of both Houses to remove the president permanently under the 25th.

to perform the duties of the office they can remove him until such a time he is deemed to be able to perform his duties again.

Twenty-fifth Amendment | Presidential Succession & Disability
The 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution addresses issues related to presidential succession and disability. It clarifies that the vice president becomes president if the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office by impeachment. It also establishes the procedure for filling a vacancy in the office of the vice president. The amendment provides for the temporary transfer of the president's powers and duties to the vice president, either on the president's initiative alone or on the initiative of the vice president, together with a majority of the president's cabinet. In either case, the vice president becomes the acting president until the president's powers and duties are restored. The amendment was submitted to the states on July 6, 1965, by the 89th Congress, and was adopted on February 10, 1967, the day the requisite number of states (38) ratified it.

Under the 25th, after the VP and a majority of the cabinet declare him unfit, the President can immediately declare to the Senate Pro Tem and House Speaker that no disability exists. Then the VP and cabinet would have to petition Congress to decide the issue, requiring 2/3 vote of BOTH HOUSES to remove him. The process will get ugly and a Constitutional crisis will ensue. Plus, there is virtually ZERO chance of both houses voting to remove.

None of this has ever been tested.

Furthermore, if Dotard even gets an inkling that the 25th is even being considered, he can simply fire everyone in the cabinet and hire even more sycophants to worship him, thus ending any prospect of removal.

Impeachment or death (however it happens) are the only real hopes for removal.

Meanwhile, as always, Putin is in Moscow sipping champagne while watching the unraveling of America.

Here is the text of the relevant section of the 25th Amendment:

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

Tell the unvarnished truth: This is abso-f*cking-lutely INSANE!!!!!

Do you remember what W said- I am okay with a dictatorship, as long as I am the dictator, hehe

or a massive protest in DC would they be arrested? Would Democrats show up? Would there be violence and crack downs? Will there be orders to shoot protestors? I don't think he will stop his dangerous actions, he needs to be removed from office now. What is it going to take?

I have been saying it for some time, to me, the biggest problem is when the military obeys orders they know are illegal, and become a tool for a dictator. They have to refuse illegal orders, they should have refused the initial attack, but we are past that point.

Dictatorships cannot exist without the support of the military, and so far, the military has obeyed illegal orders, has betrayed the country by doing so.

mountain to climb.

That is, if we live in a sane world. I'm not sure we do.

Unfuckingbelievable.

for the mad king. This is what fascists do.

Work on House Republicans too. Public statements in support of Articles of Impeachment.

Save OUR f-ing "civilization." Get back to DC, pass Articles of Impeachment and send for an immediate, overwhelming Vote to Convict in the Senate.

And make the strongest case possible with Senate offices in the states Trump is underwater. If they won't do this to redeem their souls, then do it to save their own asses:

Alaska
Florida
Iowa
North Carolina
Ohio
Texas.
Pennsylvania

However, the 25th amendment is the fastest way to get him out of office, and that's on Vance and the rest of the cabinet. Fuck them all for letting this travesty continue.

What do you think the chances of that happening are?

It would definitely not be easy. But they'll never have a chance to vote on it if those with the power to initiate the process don't act.

It has to start SOMEWHERE.

To Cabinet and Congress;

Vote to Invoke the 25th Amendment and you’ll be granted immunity.

Otherwise, see you in the Hague

Hmmmm.

Scaring people, he’s so crazy he might just do it, he’s unpredictable and blah blah blah.

This is just an updated version of Reagan’s infamous “we begin bombing in five minutes” so-called joke.

It too prompted fear, an over the top reaction from the opposition and a sense that Captain Jellybean was so hardline and “tough” that he might start a war with the Soviets.

Piss isn’t nuking anyone. And he’s not as stupid and crazy as everyone thinks. He’s ignorant and crass sure but he’s hoping Iran will bite on the crazy bait and capitulate to him.

I don’t think they’re as reactionary and afraid as the people here certainly are. The longer this goes on, the better position they’re actually in. They’re hurting the money people more every day. Piss needs a deal far more than they do.

must deal with this madman, those of us who haven't called their Reps or Senators keep on trying them The 25th Amendment must be invoked!!!!!!

dress him like his favorite Hannibal Lecter.
