Short, sharp, brutal.

Most people are carrying far too much normalcy bias to understand how bad it is going to get in the US,

Trump is in full and irrevocable possession of an unsound mind, a broken, rancid character, and is profoundly incapable of telling the truth on anything of import, thus he cannot, in any fashion, handle the task that is before him,

The Twenty-fifth Amendment will, and simply MUST, come into play, because if it does not, death levels beyond comprehension shall ensue.


If there is scattered rebellion after this occurs, it must be crushed and dispatched with ruthless rapidity, and extreme prejudice.

3. First, there was a slow dawning. Today was a major awakening.

Perhaps it was the shock over what had transpired that blinded me to the full reality of what life may be for quite a long while. This is not a "weeks" situation ~ The effects of CV and the destruction of the economy will be life-changing. The movie Logan's Run has been haunting me for days.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan%27s_Run_(film)

It depicts a utopian future society on the surface, revealed as a dystopia where the population and the consumption of resources are maintained in equilibrium by killing everyone who reaches the age of thirty. The story follows the actions of Logan 5, a "Sandman" who has terminated others who have attempted to escape death and is now faced with termination himself.

I'm fortunate to be retired. That's one less stress since I don't have to worry about losing a job and finding another. I have everything I need and then some, with enough to share. My concern is for my sons and their families, who have much more to lose than I, and will be on earth longer to feel the effects.

4. This is SO far beyond politics

This would have challenged FDR and Abraham Lincoln.

This isn’t partisanism. We just want a competent person to lead us through this. Not a game-show host.

5. The 25th requires a cabinet full of reasonable, rational people....

and a Vice President who isn't a fucking moron.

Unfortunately, none of that is currently applicable.

6. I hate to say it, but my grandfather had a saying for this 25th Amendment

Wish in one hand and shit in the other--see which one fills up first.

You can't seriously believe Dence or the ship of fools cabinet will ever exercise the 25th Amendment after this shameful display:



What's terrifying is that the toadies surrounding him have only become more sycophantic since then, not less.

Conclusion: There will be no 25th Amendment solution. There will be no conviction on impeachment, either. The only thing that will excise this strepitous malignant tumor from our nation now is resignation, death or voting him out of office.

Unless you're willing to go to jail for one of those options, the only other one we have left to us is voting him out of office--and getting as many people as we can to help us do that.

But the choice is yours.
