The 25th is only a temporary removal (due to an injury or disability), he would resume the presidency as soon as he send a letter to the President pro tempore and the Speaker of the House.

No disagreement that he needs to go and go NOW!, but this won't get it done.

work, from the virus...yes

Not all directly from the virus, but how many will die because no hospital beds for heart attacks and cancer patients...

It will be really bad.

Does NOT have to happen, if we remove the two dumbest adults on earth, rump and pence, it wont happen. Not that bad

Suicides...homeless deaths...deaths in prisons and border concentration camps...it goes on and on and on and on and on.

And that's if all 320 million people catch it. No country has a death rate anywhere near that high.

If half the country were to catch it, that would be a 32% fatality rate.

I know we're all panicking right now and being extra careful, but numbers like this are not gonna happen. I get it though, 1 million may die, which is still 1 million too many.

But you have to remember that we are doing the OPPOSITE of what we are supposed to do, the OPPOSITE of what all other nations did and add to that the collateral loses I mentioned.

So only ten million...hows that, care to take those odds? not me

Probably 20,000-30,000 dead, which is still beyond awful. Then again, I'm just an optimist. I pray that you are not right.

I see the TRUE face of the GOP voter now.

They are chomping at the bit to eliminate the weakest, sickest, oldest, most vulnerable.

TRUMP'S voters are JUST as responsible as Trump.

The GOP elected officials both fed and state - they too are GUILTY.

In a year - don't forget this. It will explain why I'm laughing at their snowflake tears about Biden in the WH.

and being right, and since most of them have little money and are never right, they are a real problem.

If you are NOT opposing rump at this time, you are not able to be part of my society...I have to get as far from you as possible, and no violence please, when you are proven wrong you 50 million rumpers please do not lash out with guns...

The true face of the GOP is why you see so FEW people of color in their group...
