      JD is in it for power. He knows he cannot just Trump alone. He, like a most of the conservative side, is scared of what Trump Will do. This may be the push needed to get him off the couch

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

      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.

        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.

        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.

              Liberals, especially middle-class liberals who had a little economic privilege, will not question the system that privileged them.

              So they reach for other explanations that vibe with the things they already believe. Evil foreigners, bad people doing capitalism wrong, maybe both conspiring together.

      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.

    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!

        If there were viable candidates available to actually promote it might happen. I know plenty of people in a red state that were talking about Sanders when he ran. Instead you have the Senate race in NC where during the primary Roy Cooper only ran on “Make Stuff Cost Less” (his actual fucking only campaign proposal at the time to lower food/grocery prices). Luckily he has updated his page with healthcare and utilities now.

      This is slightly incorrect. Congress can pass a law forming a body which can then determine if the president is unable to perform their duties and invoke section 4 of the 25th amendment.

      Passing such a law would almost certainly require a veto override, and even then, Congress would still need a two thirds majority of both houses to make section four stick.

      This bill’s primary purpose is to force Republicans to be on record that they are just fine with whatever unhinged things Trump is doing. Just like the war powers bills.
