Maybe Biden can talk to people in the administration to try and get them to do a 25th amendment. But then I don't think any of them have the guts to do that.

We have entered a very dangerous time in our country now.

Trump will burn down the government with mass firings, selling every secret we have, then set of a nuke just to say he did. His target will be Iran.

considering he wouldn't have much to live for and is so petty that he would like to bring the rest of the world down with him. I don't know how the nuclear codes work but if this guy can just set off nuclear missiles by just his own authorization then we need to remove him immediately. This has now become a national security matter and not a partisan matter.

with the Presidential Daily Briefings for the last 4 years. He doesn’t have a proper security clearance and he takes the briefings for MF45. Has he been selling or trading them? Who would have stopped him? Our enemies probably know all of our secrets and now that they’ve lost the election it is time to squeeze every dine they can out of what’s left.

But the people who would be responsible for doing it, e.g. the cabinet members, have already shown that they will do nothing to stop him.

Maybe some Secret Service agents will step forward to act.
