The 25th?

I wonder if someone told Trump he better get his commitment out for an orderly transition as a way of heading this off.

I suspect you're right.

@Jolly where do you put the chances of Trump supporters taking guns to the streets to start a civil war if indeed the 25th Amendment is carried out?

Who reports? Who is "she"? Which Cabinet Secretaries? What does "discussing" mean?

Put up or shut up, pal.

I think nothing will happen.

As others have said, with the statement by President Trump , I think the cabinet and his advisors will be happy to let him finish the last couple of weeks.

I think you are right. If it was November 6 I think today would look very different.

Thanks, Jodi.

Being that as of yesterday the emperor has been stripped bare once and for all by the more radical elements of his own supporters, his leash will be deliberately kept very short until Biden is sworn in. No need to invoke the 25th, he has already handed the keys over to his VP and cabinet.

This is like the Friday the 13th movies. He’ll get up to attack us one last time.

I think so too. There might be some Trump-supported attempted bullshit on the 20th.

[jon-nyc]

I was sorta kidding, but I don't think he'll stay chastened long.

I think most of the country isn't even paying attention.

Word has it Pence does not support which effectively kills it.

Plan B would have 2/3 of the Senate support it which doesn’t seem plausible at this point.

So it’s got political value to express disdain but that’s it.

[Loki]

So I was thinking, last night they are talking about the 25th which can only effectively happen if Pence supports it, so Pence goes to Trump and says you are out unless you doing the following...

1. Commit to an orderly transition first thing this morning.
2. Agree to delete the offending tweets
3. Commit again tonight and add you condemn what happened and make transition your focus.

Question ....what next, how many more are there and is there at least one a day?

[Jolly]

I may be wrong, but if idiots start throwing the 25th around, you better tell the Capitol Police to fix bayonets.

I agree.

I also predict that President Trumps Twitter account will be very very very quiet for the next two weeks.

The good thing, that according to his calendar, he is still working hard from early morning to late at night and making many phone calls and having many meetings.

While I doubt the 25th would happen, if it did, the MAGA Mob wouldn't do anything substantial.

What you saw yesterday was pretty much all of the loonies out there who actually believe the election was stolen AND care enough to travel to protest it. And of them, only a percentage actually stormed the Capitol.

In other words......yesterday we saw the honeypot attract the most diehard Trumpers who would actually do something if Trump were removed from office, and they're a pretty small slice of the MAGA movement, IMO.

Trump’s worried about legal trouble, not the 25th amendment.
