    I think all the calls for the 25th or resignation or impeachment is a bunch of bluster. It won't happen. Mostly, I think they are making their statements so that if more or worse occurs before the 20th, they can be righteously indignant. His overnight video shows that Trump is not just lame, but neutered. He no longer has the courage of his own convictions and has turned on his base. Removing him will only give him a platform again - so, instead, let him slither away in disgrace and defeat. He is a LOSER, quoting one of his favorite words. And as a LOSER, he deserves no more of our time or attention. He is an insignificant POS without power or support. So let him hide away and stew in that.

    I agree with you.

    The problem is that he's dangerous as long as his decisions can be enforced.

    He can still do a lot of damage between now and January 20.

    Lol. Ted was partial to full headdress. The irony of wearing a Native headdress and a Confederate flag shirt shows how acceptance of the symbolism has changed over time. Ted Nugent is a great guitar player, and I wish he kept his work to music without the politics, but he's not a racist.

    Great White Buffalo is a great song, and it's sympathetic to native life. The Dukes of Hazzard was not viewed as a racist show. That's popular culture. This is different:

    I think his cabinet and advisors will stop him, if he is trying to do something stupid. or simply not follow orders. They already got him to post his "concession" video, against his will. I'd say, let the impeachment go, for the sake of re-uniting the country.

    Although, in political terms (after what happened Wednesday), A GOP Re-Nomination of DJT would represent the Figurative "Political Suicide" of the Republican Party.

    DJT at the Top of the GOP Ticket in 2024, would lead to a Certain LOSS (against either Biden or Harris) and his presence at the top of the ticket would hurt down-ballot candidates who would be put in the position of having to be seen as supporting Trump's Deadly Incitement of Domestic Terrorism.

    Agree on that two cabinet secretaries quit in the last two days - education and transportation.

    Sadly true! If not physically then mentally. Just do not call them culture , we frown on that here.

    Over the there have been most likely hundreds if not a couple thousand articles of impeachment drawn by members of each party. That alone does not amount to a mosquito dropping.

    Trump should be impeached immediately because he is mentally incompetent. He publicly claims outright delusions and rants and raves about debunked conspiracy theories. He is not mentally stable. The he Publicly commits and act of sedition calling right wing extremists to Washington DC and then Saying he will be with them as he tells them to go march to the capital and fight for him. Trump was delusional telling more lies that the congress can overturn the election for him. That is Sedition against the government and Trump said he was with those rioters, he should be removed because he was the leader of the insurrection.

    Republicans should do the 25th on Trump for their own benefit. If Pence actually removed Trump from office, he would be ridding the GOP of the stain of Trump, while promoting Pence from a lap dog to a leader. Pence is the one that condemned the rioters. Then in 2024 Pence can run, removed from the stench of Trump for real republicans, claiming to still support Trump policies and still actually getting the Trump base claiming to be Trump without the crazy.

    Based upon the content of his video last night, I'm no longer fearful. He has given up being 'the radical'. He has shown he has no real teeth or claws. Just a sad old man who knows his time is up. He also knows that everyone is watching and waiting to pounce should he step out of line. He will now dance to the tune he's given.

    You're welcome. And to be truthful, if the situation had been the exact reverse, I'd be recommending the same tactics to right-wing Republicans! Use every political advantage that becomes available! Make full use of the political 'theater' and its effusive expressions of half-witted blather, hastily-drawn conclusions, and exaggerated accusations and assertions. Drag your political opponents through the dirt for the actions of a few of their supporters WHILE COMPLETELY IGNORING THE NUMEROUS SINS OF YOUR OWN....

    Or, to put it more simply, "Trump spread his legs" by carelessly running his uncontrollable mouth (as he too often has). So, now, if he gets screwed half to death, it's on HIM....

    You are correct! Of course they will not.

    Pence will never clear himself of the Trump stench. He worked with him closely for four years, while doing nothing to constrain him. Instead, he played obedient lap dog. He is not a leader. Anyone who is unable to speak truth to power is not a leader. If he had been a man, he'd have resigned 3 1/2 years ago.

    You do not have proof that former president, Senator who urged people to go and protest at capitals fine b cause you will not find any.

    Using the 25 is not easy to accomplish I know that but I asked for opinions and thank you for your opinion.
    You claim that this criminal sorry excuse for a president called for the liberation of Virginia, Michigan, and Minn. What a hyperbolic load of Bullsciest. These states are under occupation so why would they need to be liberated.Liberated from who? Canada? The 2nd amemndment has not restricted because the US Constitution gives us the rights to bear arms and no states has taken away our 2nd amendment rights. The Trumpocity claimed that Michigan neds to be liberated from the suggestion of social distancing and from mask wearing. You ignore the fact that a gang of terrorists who obviously have been listening to the POTUS since Feb or March fart out the BS of false fraud elections had planned to kidnap the governor of Michigan and "try" her and then "execute" her.

    Exactly.

    How do you think that Pence even got on the Ticket in 2016?

    Pence was the absolute bottom of the barrel (after every other competent, respected, GOP politician would go have nothing to do with a Trump Ticket).

    Pence was probably 200th down on the List, but after everybody else turned Trump down, Pence was all that was remaining at the bottom of the barrel.

    Obviously, Pence will be forever stained by his association with Trump.
    Trump = Inciter of Deadly Domestic Terrorism.

    As far as any future in higher office = Pence is Toast.

    The insanity is calling the President a traitor. The claim that the President incited the riots is a false narrative. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knew that the President was not calling for armed insurgency to liberate their states. He was talking about using the election process to liberate those states. Only a left-wing zealot would find his words treasonous.

    President Trump has denounced and condemned the violence. He has said that he would work for a peaceful transition of power. So, what damage can the President do to the country in the next 13 days?

    Out of several thousands of protestors, they have only identified 104 that committed violence. That means that several thousands of protestors were simply exercising their First Amendment rights to stage peacefully protests. How many times have liberal pointed out that not all the Defund the police protestors were not violent? If they want to single the peaceful protestors during those riots, but they are trying to lump the peaceful protestors at this riot in with the violent protestors. At least one news source has claimed that some of the protestors were neo-Nazi's and White Nationalists, but they ignored how many African Americans and Hispanics were taking part in the protests.

    Where was Biden's statements condemning the Defund Police riots? He did not issue one until his silence was going to cost him votes. Harris made a statement about the Defund the police riots, but her staff was contributing a fund that was bailing out the violent protestors. Would you call her dangerous to this country? Or Biden for his long silence before he was forced to make a statement. How about AOC's claim that the violence at the Defund Police riots were necessary because their concerns were not addressed when they used peaceful means? Why is it that liberals will attack a conservative for doing the same things that the Democrats have already done?

    If the Impeachment process can not be carried out within the next 13 days, then they will be Impeaching a President that has already left office. So, you push for impeachment is an indication that a claim that the President can be impeached after he left office.

    Not if it's completed in the next 11 days... and there's nothing in the Constitution that says it cannot be done even quicker than that, if the motivation is there...

    A more interesting case would be to attempt to impeach him after he's left office JUST to get to a vote for future disqualification of holding office again, which is the primary goal of all this current talk anyway.

    However, I don't think that's doable either.. Impeachment and Disqualification seem to be solidly linked.... Bummer....

    It's got nothing to do with cajones, it's the fact that "walk down there and cheer" doesn't constitute an impeachable offense in the eyes of reasonable people.
