    To be fair, he might be hinting at 25th. It’d be easier to go that route, I think. And this would be much more likely to get Republicans on board as well. He’s clearly getting worse at an accelerating rate. His decline is speeding up and taking him out with a 25th may come off as sympathy as opposed to revenge. And then you throw is ass in prison.

    Oh shit it’s Jeffries we were talking about… Yeah, you can ignore the previous paragraph.

      It’d be easier to go that route, I think.

      It takes a larger supermajority than impeachment: 2/3 of both houses. The cabinet needs to sign on as well. And the president can contest the finding of incapacity and drag out the proceedings.

      Doesn’t that require the consent of the cabinet? I don’t think they would ever go against Dear Leader.

        They’re not really loyal. If they think JD Vance has a chance, they’ll hitch themselves to any winning chance at this point.

          I’d love to see them saddled with Vance for 2 years. Even the most abject MAGA rube can tell that there’s something the matter with that creep. He radiates cynicism, condescenscion and inauthenticity.
