Trump Timeline ... Trumpocalypse

WATCH: Obama Trashes Millions Of Americans As Paranoid, Divisive, Resentful
Nothing better than a FAILED half black thing telling Americans they suck. Yup that's a winning strategy for sure. Lmao
 


The Trump administration held secret meetings with rebellious military officers from Venezuela over the last year to discuss their plans to overthrow President Nicolás Maduro, according to American officials and a former Venezuelan military commander who participated in the talks.

Establishing a clandestine channel with coup plotters in Venezuela was a big gamble for Washington, given its long history of covert intervention across Latin America. Many in the region still deeply resent the United States for backing previous rebellions, coups and plots in countries like Cuba, Nicaragua, Brazil and Chile, and for turning a blind eye to the abuses military regimes committed during the Cold War.

The White House, which declined to answer detailed questions about the talks, said in a statement that it was important to engage in “dialogue with all Venezuelans who demonstrate a desire for democracy” in order to “bring positive change to a country that has suffered so much under Maduro.”

But one of the Venezuelan military commanders involved in the secret talks was hardly an ideal figure to help restore democracy: He is on the American government’s own sanctions list of corrupt officials in Venezuela.
 
Dems need to stop bringing up Amendment 25 as it just doesn’t apply to something like theorangething.
“It” has an extreme personality, with many negative qualities—as the Times op-ed writer notes, it is “impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective.”
For sure it’s a grandiose narcissist, a pathological liar, racist, etc
But having a personality disorder, undesirable character, or even certain forms of mental illness doesn’t necessarily render a president “unfit” to govern (btw Lincoln suffered from depression).
Theorangething is not “unable” to serve as president, as would be required to invoke the 25th Amendment. It is actually a high-achieving, high-functioning thing.
It hasn’t suffered from a crippling stroke, a psychotic break or dementia. It is, we could argue, temperamentally unsuited to be president—but that is a reason to vote against it, not to resort to a never-used clause in a constitutional amendment. If cabinet officers tried to use Section 4, it would surely be challenged in court and in the court of public opinion—setting up a constitutional crisis.
Even impeachment, according to the Constitution, is supposed to be used only for “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
And even if theorangething has committed such crimes, convicting him would require the votes of 17 Republican senators—which aren’t likely to be forthcoming soon.
Additionally I honestly shudder at the idea of having Pence as a president almost as much as disliking theorangething ...
For those who worry about theorangething’s governance, the only and best answer is to vote it out when it’s up for reelection, in 2020 and in the meantime get back the House ...
