Nobody will tell him he has lost

the normal operation procedure in the White House is for Trump to demand something and his minions go out and do it. Uethical, illegal or just plain wrong, doesn't matter. So no matter what the results Tuesday night, I expect his Cabinet, lawyers and especially Barr to go out Wednesday morning and start sowing havoc wherever they can.

Not that it will do anything, but shitting all over everything is what he does.

She was the most resistant person that I have ever seen to getting her necessary inoculations. A well mannered and polite child at all other times, she would raise holy hell about getting a shot. What we did, is concealed the fact of where we were going, and what for, until the last possible minute in order to minimize the duration of the tantrums.

I suspect that Trump's staff is using a similar strategy.

the next day. Here is Cabinet list. Is there even a formal list of who makes up half of the voting body? For example I would assume only Cabinet Secretaries and the Attorney General.

But as Kenobi says,

"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."

Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue

Attorney General William Barr

Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Gina Haspel

Secretary of Commerce Wilbur L. Ross, Jr.

Secretary of Defense Mark Esper

Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette

Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Andrew Wheeler

Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar

Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Benjamin S. Carson, Sr.

Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt

Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia

Director of the Office of Management and Budget Russ Vought

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe

Administrator of the Small Business Administration Jovita Carranza

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao

Secretary of the Treasury Steven T. Mnuchin

Pence a care taker until Jan.20, and ensure an orderly transition period, "due to the psychological condition of the president which has incapacitated him for the duties of the office at this time." The only way he could
get the powers back would be proving psychological fitness, which he will never do.

It Could get Pence off the hook for a lot of shit and clean up his reputation.

Would enough of the sycophant cabinet go along?

You know this could be a good meme to start in right wing circles.
Get them used to the idea that Trump will lose once all the votes are counted.

he could shoot several people on 5th avenue and they still wouldn't consider the 25th amendment. I honestly believe this, I know it sounds ridiculous, they are all crooked grifters.

The normal operation procedure in the White House is for Trump to demand something and his minions nod their heads and then leave and wait for him to forget that he demanded it.

We will only run a message on the Time square Jumbotron of trump video footage saying, “your fire” from his apprentice show. Followed by the message, “Donald J Trump, you are fired!”.
