House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told members in a letter that she spoke to the chairman of the joint chiefs about President Trump and the nuclear codes.

"This morning, I spoke to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike," Pelosi wrote. "The situation of this unhinged President could not be more dangerous, and we must do everything that we can to protect the American people from his unbalanced assault on our country and our democracy."
In the letter she also thanks members following Wednesday's insurrection, shared the news of USCP officer Brian Sicknick's death following the breach, and that she hopes to hear from Pence "as soon as possible" about removing Trump from office.

"Nearly fifty years ago, after years of enabling their rogue President, Republicans in Congress finally told President Nixon that it was time to go. Today, following the President’s dangerous and seditious acts, Republicans in Congress need to follow that example and call on Trump to depart his office – immediately. If the President does not leave office imminently and willingly, the Congress will proceed with our action," Pelosi wrote.

The letter also announced that there will be a letter coming from the Office of the Attending Physician and the Office of the Employee Assistance about resources available to members for responding to trauma in the wake of Wednesday's attack.

Apparently Madame Speaker realizes that every second with this lunatic in power is full of extreme danger.

3. Yes 💯

4. A thought just occurred to me:

WHY WOULDN'T Trump resign now?
He would be in a position to be pardoned by Pence, he is gone in two weeks anyway, and his proverbial goose is already cooked which could very well end up in impeachment.
Is he planning a big finale where he still needs the strings of Gov't attached?

5. Pathological narcissism.

He is incapable of admitting he lost anything. Also he thinks he can legally pardon himself so what benefit does he get from trying to convince Pence to do it for him?

6. I think so.
