Daily Mail seems to think Trump can fire Pence. Silly Daily Mail. -- nm - Hibernating Baron Jan 10, 18:08
Attempting it and failing, possibly? Like not enough yes votes from the Cabinet, which of course he'd find out about. -- nm - mara Jan 10, 18:01
Trump could honestly rally a legitimate citizen army. - Will Hunting Jan 10, 17:51 8
- I honestly think we've already seen the extent of whatever "army" he'd be able to bring to bear. -- nm - znufrii Jan 10, 17:58 5
  - You wanna kill a few thousand people? - Will Hunting Jan 10, 18:00 4
    - The threat of violence should not prevent doing the right thing. That's bowing to intimidation. -- nm - ❄TWuG 🚀 Jan 10, 18:02 1
      - aka, the point of Terrorism. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 10, 18:19
    - they would melt away in the face of any legitimate show of force so quickly you wouldn't get the chance for casualties. -- nm - znufrii Jan 10, 18:01 1
      - It will be, regardless of the actions of Pence or Congress, a long string of individual - ❄TWuG 🚀 Jan 10, 18:04

  - Why you think Pelosi is doing it? She ain’t jamming this through either. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 10, 17:53
Trump knows things now, unfortunately. -- nm - Dano Jan 10, 17:43
the 25th amendment kind of is a national security crisis. plus there would undoubtedly be wrangling about form and rules, and various people's - mafic Jan 10, 17:42 4
- I mean, not a reason not to do it, but given it is effectively a (legal) coup you really have to be sure of absolutely everything before you start. -- nm - mafic Jan 10, 17:43 3
  - Impeachment has benefits for both parties as it would remove the threat of Trump running in 2024 (which is also good for mainstream GOP). nm - ralph wiggum Jan 10, 17:47 2
    - The "can't hold office" vote is separate, doesn't need to be a super majority, and could probably be undone by the next Republican Senate. - ❄TWuG 🚀 Jan 10, 17:51 1
      - But it still requires a conviction or you're getting into bill of attainder territory. -- nm - Hibernating Baron Jan 10, 18:07
And wouldn't the acting president be able to ... do... something about a national security threat? -- nm - Max Jan 10, 17:40 1
- He prolly doesn't want to be Prez -- nm - budice Jan 10, 17:41
what, like try a coup? -- nm - Reagen Jan 10, 17:37
I think Pence is afraid of being killed by some MAGA nutbar after he leaves office. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 10, 17:32 9
- I agree -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 10, 17:49
- They tried not to wait that long. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 10, 17:37 6
  - we're lucky it was a dog that caught the car situation. -- nm - Reagen Jan 10, 17:37 5
    - In addition to all the other grievances, I'm pissed that this whole incident is making me feel a *tiny bit* sorry for Mike fucking Pence. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 10, 17:40 4
      - Not me. He knew what he was getting himself into. -- nm - znufrii Jan 10, 18:02 2
        
        There's "I wasn't expecting the Face-Eating Leopard to eat *my* face" and there's "I wasn't expecting him to call for a mob to literally lynch me." nm - ralph wiggum Jan 10, 18:09 1
        
        Right. We are several levels past expected level of failure. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 10, 18:27
      - Yes -- nm - Pippy Jan 10, 17:50
