Why the cabinet will not invoke the 25th, IMHO

Not a single member of Trump's cabinet has any significance or prominence without being a cabinet member so their wagon is firmly hitched to Trump. They have zero incentive for removing from office because not a single one of them gives a f about our country except for what they can get for themselves

likely fire them before they can do it----

Our 'Democracy' is very imperfect, and 'the founders' and all those who came afterwards
never for-saw that a man who is so evil, without an once of morality, could ever
have been elected as President of the United States....

Of course, they never heard of or imagined 'social media'....

What they didn't foresee was the Congress would largely give up. The idea was always that Congress would fiercely protect its own power and the two branches would have some friction over which was the dominant branch. In other words, they'd put a check on each other. They really would not believe that congressmen would be so meek.

And he’ll be getting advice from that creepy incel fascist pseudo intellectual “historian” who the right is into now. He strikes as a dumber Rasputin. I forgot his name.

But yeah, I could see it happening. Vance is likely to lean even heavier into tech oligarchs running things. Much of the current lot is also fairly incompetent, and while they’re all accomplishing much of what the tech oligarchs want, they want it more efficiently done.

The closest to getting the 25th amendment was probably after January 6th.

He is dumb in many ways, but he learned one lesson after his first term — only place loyalists that won’t rat you out and owe their entire career to you.

Hence you have absolute hacks like Vance, Patel, Hogshit, Nutlick, and all the other assorted losers, degenerates, and absolutely loathsome despicable creatures. A few do get thrown under the bus like Noem, Bondi, and possibly Gabbard, but so far his term has had far less attrition. Ultimately They’re expendable and will find some way to parachute into another role they’re absolutely unqualified for.

but if he wanted to do it he'd support him.

That's the best we have. Plus Vance's ambitions.

about half of his voters wd b relieved. but the other half has a lot of guns.
at least impeachment wd include a trial. facts, ya know. not that that wd penetrate a lot of them. but..

i dont think this is lost of the magats who get death threats every time they stick their heads up.
