Kristian was calling for this long ago - time has come. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/07/opinion/trump-25th-amendment-impeachment.html. Impeachment and a lifetime ban from office also a good idea https://metro.co.uk/2021/01/06/us-representatives-draw-up-plans-to-impea ch-and-oust-donald-trump-after-us-capitol-riots-13861561/ [2021-01-07 10:39:41] [Kristian Andersen] Reassuring to know he's got the nuclear codes. [2021-01-07 11:23:25] [Andrew Rambaut] I bet Pence is not adverse to the idea of being Prez for a couple of weeks. Come out looking a little bit sane. Make a graceful handover. [2021-01-07 11:24:12] [Andrew Rambaut] When do the new Senators take their seats? [2021-01-07 11:26:24] [Kristian Andersen] Imagine that - Pence being the sane guy... I suspect he might already be in charge - I'm somewhat hopeful that they have made it clear to Trump that if he makes any of his crazy moves, they'll immediately invoke the 25th. We'll see - I don't exactly have a lot of trust in the system... [2021-01-07 11:33:09] [Andrew Rambaut] He could get to be President 46 and be called Mr President for the rest of his life [2021-01-07 11:34:05] [Andrew Rambaut] He doesn't need the support of trump nutters for any future presidential bid (he must realise he is not going to get anywhere with that). [2021-01-07 11:34:09] [Kristian Andersen] I'd take it [2021-01-07 11:34:17] [Andrew Rambaut] I would do it in a shot. [2021-01-07 11:34:21] [Robert Garry] Harris has to be sworn in on Jan 20 before Dems will have the majority. Just heard that Elaine Cho, who is Mitch's wife just resigned. That's either a sign they are going to go with the 25th or a sign against depending on which way you think Cho might have weighed in. Trust me Trump is weighing some even more crazy shit. [2021-01-07 11:34:26] [Kristian Andersen] (actually, I wouldn't) [2021-01-07 11:36:27] [Kristian Andersen]
