Trump is now out of control. He is a danger to the nation. We have to act now to remove Trump from office.

Or, 25th Amendment, which requires the VP and Cabinet to act.
Sorry, ain't gonna happen any time soon.

(15,805 posts)It doesn't works that way, but you already know that, right? So this is an imaginary game where the "we" would be some lawless, but good intentioned vigilante group of anti-Trump anarchists who would, against all odds, achieve a successful, bloodless coup and then graciously hand the keys to the castle over to... who, is it again? I forgot how the story ended.

(15,064 posts)how urgent and dangerous a situation we are in. They are too close to be objective. They are not willing to do what it would "really" take. One example if being blinded by being too close to DC is the fact that most of them did not know what a bump stock did to a semi-automatic weapon. But the "people" knew.
We constantly have to remind our representative of problems facing us. Do you ever wonder why? It's because most (not all) political animals are clueless as to what people face every day.
They are tuned in to how to manipulate voters based on their beliefs and demographics. Not what those constituents really need.

(55,137 posts)proves that he is 100% guilty of any crime, and the GOP cabinet will never use the 25 Amend.
That means he will either have to stroke out or Putin decides to end their bro-mange over a private dinner in the Kremlin cooked by Putin's KGB chef who uses "special, secret ingredients" not detectable by taste testers.

(22,976 posts)Democrats can make all the heartfelt appeals in the world, but Republicans hold almost all the marbles now, even while #45 is losing his. In spite of his negative numbers and sagging polls, the GOP is benefiting mightily from his undoing of Obamas executive orders, and the lifetime appointments of high-level judges, etc. For Christs sake, theyre still trying to scuttle the ACA. Muellers investigation could wind up as mere background noise (to Republicans) if no super-egregious, super-illegal transgressions are proven.
Which is why its imperative that Democrats take back the Senate next year. (I know, a year from now is forever when nukes and insanity are involved.)
