It's a dream to think Trump's Cabinet would go against him....

...and invoke the 25th Amendment, in my opinion.

If they want to remove him, the Republicans are going to have to impeach him and then convict him of a high crime and misdemeanor. Will that ever happen? Even if he invades Greenland, would they have the spine to go against Trump?

I highly doubt it.

But, the ball is in their court.

We know the Democrats cannot do it, because they have tried twice and failed.

It is up to the Republicans.

EarlG had a strategy for impeachment the other day for the Democrats. But, it was primarily to investigate whether or not to impeach and to bring everything into the open, so as to educate the public.

4. That Cabinet was specifically chosen on the criteria of them not doing so.

And well chosen at that.

The reason that Cabinet is so full of people who are nakedly self-interested AND grossly disreputable and unqualified for their positions is so that they will never go 25th Am.

Absolutely zero of them have confidence that even a fellow lowlife like JD Couchfucker will retain them in their positions, so it is against their selfish ambitions and grift goals to vote to sideline The Dotard -- to do so would be to vote to fire oneself.

They have no care for consequences to anyone else. They care about themselves, and they are making out like bandits, and that is the extent of their thoughts on the matter.

Any betrayal will have, at the very least, severe consequences.

Fired, vilified, doxxed, horse-headed, family physically threatened, end of political career and probable financial ruin.

They hang together, not separately.

7. Perhaps a more pertinent question might be, woud his generals attack our allies if ordered?

If they were ordered to invade Greenland, or Canada, would they hesitate?

Or would they follow the orders of their madman Commander?

What do you think?

They didn't look real enthusiastic at the big pep rally last year, especially with all that's happened since.
