Re: POTUS: A Sharpie Is Always Needed

Massively unhinged Donnie is out tonight.

“ WATCH: President Trump took aim at the Oscars at a campaign rally Thursday, mocking best supporting actor winner Brad Pitt as a "little wise guy" and blasting the Academy for giving its top honor to Bong Joon-Ho’s South Korean film "Parasite."

"The winner is a movie from South Korea. What the hell was that all about? We’ve got enough problems with South Korea, with trade. And after all that they give them best movie of the year?" Trump said.

The studio that made the film with the epic comeback.

Faux is in a Civil War over Trump attacking Cavuto at his rally. Putin has the bots out in full force defending their asset.

Truthiness was more fun when it was just part of a Colbert Report segment.

Re: POTUS: A Sharpie Is Always Needed

I wonder if there is a point where Pence and Congress decide a madman at the helm is too great a risk, even though he is delivering their goodies and his followers are pathologically insane. I'm not considering they would act out of patriotism -- these are Republicans -- but whether they might think their own wrinkled old as-ses were just in too much danger from the boob.

Dump would fail a mental health assessment, so they would have Constitutional grounds for relieving him of the office.

Specifically, that’s Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. The amendment states that if, for whatever reason, the vice president and a majority of sitting Cabinet secretaries decide that the president is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,” they can simply put that down in writing and send it to two people — the speaker of the House and the Senate’s president pro tempore.

Then the vice president would immediately become “acting president,” and take over all the president’s powers.

Let that sink in — one vice president and any eight Cabinet officers can, theoretically, decide to knock the president out of power at any time.

If the president wants to dispute this move, he can, but then it would be up to Congress to settle the matter with a vote. A two-thirds majority in both houses would be necessary to keep the vice president in charge. If that threshold isn’t reached, the president would regain his powers.

Only chance that happens is if he orders a nuclear launch against Tehran. Even then, a third of the country would consider it an unconstitutional coup.

I'm reminded of a former Secretary of State in a recent republican administration and a reference to a mushroom cloud over New York. My guess is it will almost literally have to be something that or nearly that bad.

trump has literally done something every single day he's been president to make the jobs of our diplomats and military leaders more difficult. He's erased decades of work of some very talented people. Other than an all-out shooting war with a large adversary I don't think he could have performed worse on the international stage. Yeah, it'll take something like a mushroom cloud or perhaps a massive, economy killing cyber attack.

If it was just New York he'd survive. Heck, he'd be improving the GOP's odds of winning the Senate; they'd be actively for it. And note of course Fox (the DC branch office...) et al. would lie for him and say it was Muzzies and eeeeeeeeeeeeeemigrants.

A handful of Republicans could have already voted for President Pence and they got one. It's not going to happen.

I've asked this several times over the last few years. You have guys that have played the political game for 20+ years. They know that Dumpy will blow up their work in a heartbeat through ignorance or to push himself forward. I'd guess that most of the people in upper positions within the R party are not willing to risk ****ing that away.

They couldn't give the Dems credit. Dump will go down in history as our most vile traitor -- Benedict Arnold is finally off the hook. At some level even a gargoyle like McConnell knows: the truth, while crippled and handicapped by partisan propaganda and the mendacity of wealth, is infinitely patient and will eventually outlast him and Hannity and all their lies.

What happens to the GOP in ten years when everybody knows they knowingly abetted treason just to get their beaks wet?

Eventually they have to make a big show of doing the right thing, in a purely cynical calculation. "I'm shocked, shocked do you hear?"
