Trump supporters stormed Capital Hill - Update - Mike Pence testifies in criminal probe of Trump

Tachyon, good post.

While invoking the 25th Amendment was expected by the far right, the most credence will those statements and recommendations by Republican House and Senate members like Kinzinger.

The questions now being debated by Congress are one, whether or not this can be accomplished within the next twelve days, and two whether or not any action will further incite further division.

Back to add, removing a sitting president is harder than it looks. It would take the vice president, a majority of the sitting Cabinet members, and a two-thirds majority from the House and Senate.

We are all watching.

It was done rather effectively in the case of JFK in much less time.

Completely different situation.

True. But wouldn’t work with Trump. Bullet would go straight through his skull unimpeded by brain matter.

CAPITOL Hill yielded to the will of the people

Talks about the 25th Amendment abound

What are your thoughts?

Think Trump will behave himself now. After all, even he can’t ignore the fact that his actions led to 4 people dying.

Being banned from social media will really irritate him though.

Let’s hope so.

Let’s hope so.

In any case, it makes his attempt to get re-elected next time far more unlikely to take place.

He’s shot himself in the foot big-time.

Next time he would be slightly older than Biden is now. I like the way they say Joe Biden junior.

Yes scot, poor old Joe looks like he’s got one foot in the grave. I’m surprised that with America being the size that it is, they couldn’t come up with someone a bit more convincing and, well, Alive…:surprised:. Mind you, I thought that at the last election…They could borrow Boris if they liked until they could find someone…

Maybe Kamala Harris is the one to watch out for.

Yep, I agree with that.

Trump will have no place in public life, expect stormy waters for him out of office.

IMO I believe Biden is setting the stage for Kamala ( pronounced CAR-MAA-LAA) to take over

Oh yes. He will never be President again.

[Dextrous63]

A question to our American posters… our countries’ news is obviously focused mostly on domestic issues, especially covid. Has Trump continued with his regular press conferences in which he has been talking about covid progress in the US?

He’s due to get a new wardrobe- a lovely set of overalls in Orange

Indeed, will not be surprised if that happens.

“Nothing will stop us. They can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours….dark to light!”

That’s the last thing the woman who was shot tweeted.
How does he command such fierce loyalty? It can’t be intellect or personality.It’s a mystery to me.

I know right. She was a veteran as well. Someone who swore to uphold the constitution and defend the nation turned into a domestic terrorist.
