'Unfit to Serve': Trump's Mika Facelift Tweet Sparks Calls to Invoke 25th Amendment

by Rachel Stockman | 10:40 am, June 29th, 2017

Immediately after President Donald Trump posted what appears to be a totally unhinged tweet calling out television host Mika Brzezinski for an alleged facelift, calls have already begun for his immediate removal using the 25th Amendment. The constitutional provision, which has never been used, can be invoked when a President has been found to be “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”

Keith Olbermann tweeted out that his “irresponsible” speech is destroying the country, and that the 25th amendment should be invoked.

It's not his selling out of his country to Russia, his collusion with Russia, his shady business dealings, the grabbing of vaginas, the racist travel ban, the predatory healthcare legislation and everything else this orange cretin has done that gets people over the hump with artile 25, it's him insulting a tv news personality that did her level best to legitimize him throughout 2015 and 2016 that moves the needle? Is that about right?

*This doesn't apply to Olberman or progressives here who have understood his sickness for years now. It's directed at those who are just now coming around.
