Don’t pussy out now
Do it
Would Mr Raskin be able to identify an elephant with Trump-levels of Adderall in his system?… I highly doubt it. Checkmate, Dems.

How long before these guys crawl out of the woodwork?
Idk. AIPAC isn’t gonna like this. They may have to use their own money to eat.
Brilliant.
So, when it fails they look like bumbling posturers, and whether it succeeds or not, they’ve given him evidence to evade standing trial.
that’s harder than impeachment,.. it will never work, just do impeachment after impeachment.
fucking hiding behind the fact that it won’t get done
and it’s fucking dumb, his own cabinet would have to vote to do it and he can stop it just by saying he’s fit to be president… so stupid
the thing i’ve seen that has the best chance of passing would be impeachment based on insider trading..but they should just get something lined up for november then constantly bombard with impeachment so at least something will pass and he’ll get indicted
Anything you can come up with now hinges on the support of a substantial number of republicans. Right now, that’s like asking them to sign their own death warrant. Plus, I don’t think there are any left with any balls to speak of.
Then again – it’s becoming increasingly clear that they are going to have to face the axe anyway at the next elections. At some point, some may try to save their ass by growing a sudden spine. We’ve seen that a lot with Republicans on their way out: only when they had nothing left to lose they suddenly remembered something about morals.
JE Vance supports this message.
Real Talk.
It’s not going to work. It still requires 67% of the Senate, and we are not going to see a large enough defection among the Republicans to make it happen. Just like an impeachment. We can impeach him (which we did twice before) but we can’t get the numbers to remove him (also like before.)
A lot of people were complaining that the Democrats weren’t doing anything to stop Trump, but there wasn’t much that they COULD do. Small victories here and there that don’t make headlines, chiseling away at the Project 2025 agenda where they can, and trying to hold on to rights and benefits for vulnerable Americans whenever possible is really all they can do, because progressive voters left them hanging. They lost a lot of their colleagues in the last election, and — with them — most of their leverage.
But — because of lots of outcry on the left — they are making this Hail Mary pass even though they know that there’s not actually any air in the ball. THIS is the waste of time. THIS is the Democrats „doing nothing,“ (effectively, anyway,) and they’re only doing it because people (who slept through Civics class) are demanding it.
And when this fails, Trump will go on TV and brag for the cameras: „gnhhddff hmmhmm DemoRats ngdngfff cant stop me jdjvvvfgh nothing wrong hmgmhm third term.“ (or something like that.)
this feels more like a political move than something that’s actually going anywhere. even if you agree or disagree with it, the 25th amendment process is extremely hard to pull off and needs way more than just a bill with the current setup in congress, it’s pretty unlikely to pass, so it comes off more as signaling than a real path forward
Nothing will happen. It’s all performative
Just stop. Focus on gathering evidence and lining up charges in 2029 for everyone in the administration. Lock em all up or deport them. If you can get em for treason and harsher punishment do it.
Start building to expand the court instead of fucking around with this bullshit.
This could be very appealing to an opportunist like Vance who has yet to establish a legacy win
What could amount to a slam dunk removal, enable the GOP to „wipe the slate clean“ and literally make Vance the first millennial POTUS is not too crazy of a proposition
The GOP pressuring Tony Gonzales to step down in a sorta quid pro quo move to Swalwell resigning helps boster this thought
If this bill passes, I bet the GOP will bite — after all, they’ve shown they’re nothing but craven, backstabbing, sociopaths anyway
It’s going to help Trump. Wrong way to do it. Democrats know of course. Whole point of this performative exercise.
I just want them to make him demonstrate his mental fitness either to someone other than his own doctor, or publicly. That will settle that.
He could be mentally fit as a fiddle and still do all this crazy stuff to benefit Russia, he’s acting as an asset of Russia. That’s the problem. This is political theater considering the state of Joe Biden for the last two years of his presidency.
Mostly a virtue signal without Republican buy-in.
