    They said they will do a thing to form a committee to investigate whether they should do the actual thing.

    Useless sycophants.

    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.

    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

      This seems like more copium and wishful thinking but it is probably more likely, but still not likely.

      I hear ya, but nobody is going to willingly elect JD Vance. It’s better to remove Pedonald as quickly as possible imho

    Useless noise for headlines. We need to focus on voting MAGA and turn-coat dems out.

    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.

      The Democrats are the minority party, there’s not much more than strongly worded letter that they can do.
