Donald Trump is not a stable person...

He has wandered recklessly into 25th Amendment territory.

It is time to cut him loose. He has become too much of a liability, politically or otherwise to continue to ignore his very unstable condition.

He is threatening war and causing great harm to our relationships with our allies. He is not worth the effort to defend anymore. He is old, senile, and sick. He is demented.

Do what needs to be done.

Put him in a nursing home.

Or put him in jail.

It doesn't matter.

Just remove him from our lives and save a lot of lives.

The primary selection criteria was that they would never do it under any circumstances.

Reminds me so much of my late husband.

The behaviors are so similar to what I went through.

It was getting scary at times I must admit.

He belonged in a facility at the end but he got lucky and died instead.

Oh well, I did the best I could, that is all I can add to this nightmare we as a Nation are in.

& recommend.

the 25th Amendment takes too long, think of the damage he could do to get even before he goes bye-bye....
The Republicans in the House have to impeach him first thing in the morning, then the Republicans in the Senate have to follow thru and vote to impeach him later that same morning. AND, before they tip their hand, they have to remove him from getting near the "football".......
There will probably be a sizable number of Republicans in either house that are scared to death, and won't vote for impeachment, but the entire Dems will gladly help with the number of votes needed. I can imagine that those who will continue to vote FOR Trump are being extorted by Trump for something they don't want made public by him/Putin, Repubs who are currently being black mailed by Trump for something they don't want made public, Repubs who are involved with Epstein, and don't want it to be made public.......
All along, I am sure Trump has been telling all the Repubs in congress: I GO, YOU GO.......

Hell, Russia and the U.S. have enough Nukes in their arsenals to destroy the entire world a thousand times over.
Throw in China, NKorea, and Israel, etc

One missile gets fired from anyone, and they all go........

in the hopes of getting some sort of sympathy backlash in the election.

Personally, I'd like to see him have a major stroke that leaves him unable to speak or move, but able to understand what's going on around him.

It was after a bad fall and he broke his hip.

They operated on him and when he woke up he could not swallow, eat or speak.

He went to and "end of life" facility where he lasted for awhile.

The cost was $500 a day.

He died after not too long.

It was a bad way to go out.

To this day, I have nothing positive to say about hospisss !

that tRump has is with a horse, and that did not go well. "Horse smarts" are better than "tRump smarts".

"D.J. Trump" Racehorse: Trump bought a thoroughbred named "D.J. Trump" in the late 1980s, but the horse suffered injuries, never raced, and had a failed stud career, according to The Washington Post.
Horse as Payment: In the 1990s, Trump reportedly tried to pay a $2 million legal fee with a stallion, leading to a dispute with his lawyers.

"Horse smarts" refers to the impressive cognitive abilities, keen senses, and strong emotional intelligence of horses, highlighting their capacity for learning, memory, problem-solving, social understanding, and awareness of their environment, going far beyond simple instinct. It encompasses their ability to read subtle human cues, remember past experiences, navigate complex social structures within a herd, and learn tasks, demonstrating they possess a deep, multifaceted intelligence".

And there is no indication that Republican opinions are changing.
When you hear of his popularity decreasing, that doesn’t include Republicans.
Just everyone else.

Trump's reign continues despite the obvious mental decline that exacerbates his lifelong sociopathic behavior. Trump is useful because he breaks things that others want to see broken. He has demonstrated many times over that he can get away with destructive behavior that would lead to an immediate downfall for others.

One thing that I think helps keeps him in place is the belief that his designated replacement, J. D. Vance, lacks both MAGA cred and the ability to lie to peoples' faces like he believes a word he is saying. Vance is equally repulsive in his own way but he is no Donald Trump.

Another difficulty for those using him is that I think he is kept in place by an informal coalition of oligarchs who have overlapping but different agendas. He continues to be useful to some while his increasingly reckless behavior is viewed as a threat by others. I doubt that there is a single faction that can unilaterally remove him and inertia will keep him in place until there is some kind of consensus among the looting elite.

I was thinking about this tonight, after listening to Dr. King's "How long? Not long ...." speech. Wouldn't it be great to wake up to this reality? Hopefully we are all actively engaged in quickening the process, by putting more pressure on both houses of Congress by exercising our Amendment 1 rights.

I, for one, am really looking forward to the DU party on the day it happens.
