Though what follows is a suggestion that MIGHT keep you out of prison, that is certainly not my purpose in suggesting the need for immediate action by you. If it was my call, you'd be in prison now.
You know Trump is a maniac. You know he is grossly incompetent and totally unfit to be POTUS. You know that each day he remains in power our country sinks deeper into an abyss from which it may never rise.
Isn't this YOUR country, too? Isn't this the nation in which your family lives?
You could, with a phone call, enlist the support and assistance of several dozen prominent conservatives---"traditional" Republicans---who would join you in calling for the removal of Donald Trump via exercise of the 25th Amendment. A "Who's Who" of what's left of the GOP "going public" with over three years worth of pent-up disgust would place unbearable pressure on every cabinet member who hope's to have a political future post-Trump, which is all of them.
After someone threw a net over Trump, you could assume the presidency until next January, call for a moratorium on further judicial appointments and work WITH responsible members of Congress to help people deal with this pandemic. You would NOT pardon ANYONE!
I would have to swallow hard and spit twice but, if you did the above, I would sit still for Joe Biden pardoning you.

Could it be that the fix is in already and they know there will not be an election or that it will be stolen...again?

(15,084 posts)Either the fix is in (notice how much they are fighting VBM?) or they are terrified to cross Ass Face and terrified to leave him alone. Also notice how very quiet most of them are. They are hoping that nobody notices them sitting over there in the corner.

(11,855 posts)His only power is that of the shield of his office. Once he is out, he has nothing. He is broke... owes millions. Is up to his ass in lawsuits and has no friends. It's not like crossing some family that has power beyond the office.... like say the Bushes, or Kenedys, who had real generational power structures and the party loyalty being them.
Seriously the only thing that makes sense is Russian influence.

After he is gone from OUR HOUSE, he will truly be a zero.

(15,084 posts)He may end up being a real life example of a negative number! Which is something that has, to date, only been a theoretical concept!
