25th Amendment and Trump's Behavior

[TGHusker]

We'll see if anything happens with this.  But more and more people are thinking Trump is going off the deep end - literally falling apart before our very eyes and ears.

 

San Fran Nan says she wants to discuss the Amendment 25 options.   Like maybe 3 years too late but even if late, it needs to be discussed. 

While it is doubtful the Senate will go along with it, and even more so that Pence would, perhaps some senators will see it as the only way off of

a sinking ship and their own sinking hold of political power.   In my lifetime, I have never heard of or seen the need for such a discussion. 

Trump has obviously gone bonkers, yet his enablers and cult members are blinded by their own lust for power - not willing to do the right thing.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a dramatic announcement during her weekly press conference Thursday by telling reporters that she intends to discuss a constitutional measure to remove President Trump from office, following questions regarding Trump's health as he recovers from coronavirus.

 

The 25th Amendment allows for the vice president to become acting president if is determined that the president "is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."

PELOSI NOT CONSIDERING ANOTHER TRUMP IMPEACHMENT: 'I DON'T THINK HE'S WORTH THE TROUBLE AT THIS POINT'

"Tomorrow, by the way, tomorrow, come here tomorrow," Pelosi said. "We're going to be talking about the 25th Amendment."

Pelosi had earlier questioned the status of Trump's health, as well as exactly how long he has had COVID-19.

“I think that the public needs to know the health condition of the President," Pelosi said. "There's one question that he refused to answer … when was his last negative test?" Pelosi said that this information is necessary in order to “make a judgment about the actions that were taken after that.”

"Let us see a date, a time when you last tested negative," she added.

The 25th Amendment requires a declaration of the president's inability from the vice president and either a majority of either the heads of executive branch departments "or of such other body as Congress may by law provide," to be sent to the speaker of the House--in this case, Pelosi--and the president pro tempore of the Senate--currently Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

While the amendment allows for Congress to pass a law that would create a body to sign off on such a declaration, Pelosi would have to convince Senate Republicans to go along with it. Plus, Vice President Mike Pence would also have to sign the declaration as well, which would be highly unlikely.

PIERS MORGAN: Donald Trump's dying presidency is crashing and burning in a reckless, chaotic, dangerous, earth-scorching ball of fire – because he fears the American people are about to tell him: ‘YOU’RE FIRED!’

 

Quote

 

Undeterred, last night Trump made things even worse by suddenly announcing he was cutting off Covid relief talks with the Democrats until after the election, sparking a meltdown on the financial markets and widespread anxiety among hundreds of millions of Americans who are desperate for help.

The shock move came during a frenzied flurry of 42 tweets and retweets in which the President raged against the FBI ('scum'), Nancy Pelosi ('crazy'), the media ('fake news'), Michael Bloomberg ('fool'), first presidential debate moderator Chris Wallace '('total joke') and Hillary Clinton ('disgraceful con artist').

 

 

Quote

 

Some medical experts suggested all this erratic mayhem was driven by the fact Trump's on strong steroids to combat the virus, causing him to lash out in a form of 'roid-rage'.

But I think it's more to do with him realising he's losing bigly in the election race, and there's very little time left for him to change voters' minds. So, he's furiously reverting to desperate tactics.

It increasingly felt like Trump thinks he's in a particularly explosive episode of The Apprentice where the more chaos, drama and outrageous behaviour, the better his ratings will be.

This, after all, was how he won the presidency in the first place; ensuring he hoovered up all the media oxygen with endless headline-grabbing stunts and pronouncements.

But it's now having the opposite effect.

The more outrageously he behaves, the worse his numbers are getting.

I think most Americans are just exhausted by Trump and the constant maelstrom that he revels in fuelling.

They're consumed with fear and worry about their lives and livelihoods - and want leadership that can give them hope for a calmer, better future.

Instead, they've got a raging maniac of a leader, infected with coronavirus and flying on steroids, setting the country on fire.

Fortunately, they may only have to endure 27 more days of this destructive carnage.

Trump can huff, and puff, and try to blow the whole damn house down in the mother of all scorched earth policies but his situation more and more resembles the endgame in Wagner's iconic Gotterdammerung opera which results in the blazing, catastrophic downfall of a godly regime so the world and humanity can be reborn.

Trump's no god, but he thinks he is.

I'm reminded of what he told me about success.

'You gotta win,' he said. 'That's what it's all about. Muhammad Ali used to talk and talk, but he won. If you talk and talk but lose, the act doesn't play.'

Exactly.

The President is currently talking and talking - but losing.

And the act isn't playing.

If he loses this election, as seems increasingly likely, he'll doubtless blame everything from Covid and China to mail-in voting corruption.

But the reality is he'll have brought it all himself with his supremely selfish, narcissistic, empathy-devoid, incessantly inflammatory antics during the most difficult year most Americans have ever endured.

And that's why the American people are heading towards delivering the words he least wants to hear: 'President Trump – YOU'RE FIRED.'

President Donald Trump is calling for former President Barack Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to be charged with crimes — and said his Attorney General, Bill Barr, will go down in history as “sad” if he fails to bring charges.

In an interview on Fox Business Thursday, the president railed about about 1,000 pages of documents declassified by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe pertaining to his probe on the origins of the Russia investigation. The declassified documents were previously rejected by Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee, with Democrats bashing the material as Russian disinformation. DNI Ratcliffe said that the unverified documents showed Clinton personally tried to “stir up a scandal” against Trump by “tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the Democratic National Committee,” and that Obama was aware of her actions.

Trump, in the interview, called on his attorney general to indict every presidential nominee from his opposing political party since 2008.

“Unless Bill Barr indicts these people for crimes — the greatest political crime in history of our country — then we’re going to get little satisfaction,” Trump said. He added, “And that includes Obama, and that includes Biden.”

Trump Calls Harris ‘Unlikeable, a ‘Communist’ and a ‘Monster’ (10:11 a.m.)

Trump called Senator Kamala Harris “unlikeable,” a “communist” and a “monster” Thursday, comments that may not help as he struggles to win over women.

In an interview with Fox Business News, Trump made multiple disparaging references to Harris that could be noticed by female voters, who back Biden by a wide margin in most polls.

“This monster that was on stage with Mike Pence, who destroyed her last night by the way, but this monster she says ‘no, no, there won’t be fracking, there won’t be this,’” he said. “Everything she said is a lie.”

Trump also said that Harris was “well beyond a socialist,” calling her a “communist” to the left of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and “totally unlikeable.” The debate, he said, “wasn’t even a contest.”

Biden, meanwhile, praised his running mate’s performance. “I thought Kamala did a great job last night,” he said at the airport in New Castle, Delaware, as he prepared to travel to Phoenix. “I was really proud of her.”

He is insane.

[Cdog923]

My brother-in-law caught Covid this summer, and is still dealing with the side effects, and he's convinced that Trump isn't getting enough oxygen to the brain.

 

EDIT: this came off as a joke, but he was being serious; my BIL delt with low O2 for weeks after he got healthy and recognizes the deliriousness we're seeing from Trump.
