    He’s already told you he’s taken mental tests and done well, like Mensa level well, like they thought he cheated but he didn’t well. What more could you possibly want and how the fuck do you think you are going to get it? A move like this doesn’t work when you don’t have the cards, and you don’t have the cards dems.

    “Lightweight Jamie Raskin is a stupid person’s idea of a smart person,” said White House spokesperson Davis Ingle.

    Trump is a poor white trash person’s idea of a rich person.

      It’s not even true either. Jamie Raskin is highly intelligent, and professional, and he even kept serving while undergoing cancer treatment. He’s a hero.

      trump on the other hand, is trash.

      Judging by how much the billionaires back him, I don’t think that’s true. The idea that billionaires are anything other than scammers and abusers like Trump is pretty obviously false. He just doesn’t mask it.

        He’s a useful idiot. Back in the 90s when he was doing fast food commercials, he lost massive amounts of money. The appearance of bring a billionaire helped him become a billionaire again. The dude’s a grifter and a puppet.

        No he’s right. Trump before becoming president likely wasn’t a billionaire. Trump is gold leaf trash amongst his peers, he’s the bullshitter his peers play golf with to make fun of. He’s the stupid face for the real Billionaires with tens and hundreds of billions. A Tool of no pedigree, his grandpa dodged the draft and made it opening a whore house.

        The billionaires don’t see him as one of them.

                  My comment was perfectly understandable and used a really common phrase. You’re being a patronizing asshole despite the misunderstanding being entirely on you. I didn’t make you comment.

                  Edit: and then you delete the entire comment chain to hide it. Is lemmy holding a clown convention today?

    I was about to complain yet again “that’s not how it works”, but then I looked up the text again and this is explicitly allowed. Congress can set up a commission that basically takes the place of the Cabinet for 25th Amendment purposes. So now all this talk of the 25th amendment makes a bit more sense to me.

    They still need a 2/3 margin in both houses even after the commission makes their determination, because the idiot is guaranteed to contest it. But maybe there is some truth to the idea that Republicans won’t vote to impeach but would vote to declare him incompetent, based on his dumb tweets

      I think the chances that republicans will admit their guy is incompetent is close to 0. They will rather lock him up in the white house basement for 2 years.

        47 needs to go ASAP, if vance has to serve more than 50% of the remaining term then he can only run for reellection once. If 47 croaks or is removed after that point, the couch-fucker can run with some incumbant advantage twice

          The voters voted for Trump. They didn’t vote for Vance, and never will. So that is not a very good reason for him to stay.

    I mean, it’s moderately encouraging to see Dems doing something to fight Trump, but Congress doesn’t have the authority to utilize the mechanisms in the 25th amendment to remove Trump. They can issue articles of impeachment (again), but there are too many conservative senators and representatives protecting Trump for that to be viable, either.

    This bill won’t go anywhere, and even if it did pass, it wouldn’t have any effect.

      At this point, most of the power they have is performative. They can’t actually do much of anything, but they can make noise. It’s nice to see them doing that. The only shot they have at convincing the MAGA politicians to flip is by flipping public opinion more than it already is.

      Even then, I’m not sure it would matter. What are people in red states going to do? Vote for a Democrat!? The mere thought of such a thing!
