Could the 25th Amendment be the End Game for Trump Cabinet Detractors?

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Mattis, Cohn, Cho (McConnell's wife), Mnuchin (?) (could be playing possum), Kelly (I know, he doesn't really have a vote), Veteran's Affairs (after all, he's an Obama guy), even Sessions and Pence. Maybe even his family joins in (Ivanka, Jerod and Ivana). Add McConnell and Paul Ryan to the mix and this thing could be "Donald, either resign or we'll through you the fuck out!"

Could the time come that they reach a conclusion that this raving fucking maniac in the White House has to be expelled?

Rather than resign, could these cabinet members be engineering a "silent coup"?

Stranger things have happened.

1. Not a chance!

2. Trump would fire the entire cabinet if he thought that was a possibility

Then probably tweet Pentz alone couldn't execute the 25th.

Then probably tweet "neener neener"

3. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

4. Well, it takes 8 Cabinet members

And then if the president blocks it, it takes 2/3rds House AND 2/3rds Senate.

So, basically. It's not happening.

5. Nope, won't happen. Last week McConnell threatened rethugs if anyone even

mentioned the word "Impeachment" so I'm assuming that goes for a 25th vote as well. So far as they're concerned (at least McConnell and Ryan) he's in place for the duration.

9. What a piece of shit that McConnell is. He may well be presiding over the end of the world or at

least the US thanks to his indifference. He is really more to blame than Trump because Trump is basically NGRI (not guilty by reason of insanity). Like Nero fiddling while Rome was burning.

10. Good analogy

Yes, they're both culpable and McConnell equally, if not more, guilty because he presides over the senate and Trump could have been gone long ago if all rethugs weren't cover his but. Not sure if Trump is just plain crazy or crazy like a fox. Either way he needs to go (along with Pence, McConnell, Ryan and a host of other Rs), the sooner the better.

6. Name one Trump cabinet member that has an ounce of personal courage.

The problem is that by finding people that are willing to serve in a Trump administration you have to pass the first hurdle

1) Are you a complete moral lackey that is willing to work for someone who, for example, lied about the birthplace of the President of the United States so he could inflame white racism.


They all answered yes to that which makes them shallow and without courage.

Its like asking if a Eunuch would be an effective sperm bank donor.

The answer is no.

7. It might not be courage that motivates

It might be self-preservation.

8. There is an active thread

discussing would impeachment lead to Civil War? Impeachment won't but a 25th Amendment removal from office (without an obvious physical impairment) would have a higher probability of a Civil War.

11. I have said before, Trump backers have no balls

They're all talk.

I am a product of the 60's. I know what American revolutionaries look like and act like.

Trump supporters voted for the first time this last election, now you think they'll go out into the streets to face off against the US Army?

They'll complain at their Bar-B-Q's at their trailer parks, but when it comes to mounting a revolution, they won't do shit.

12. Yes, I'm totally sure that Betsy DeVos, Ben Carson, Rick Perry, Scott Pruitt,

Tom Price, Wilbur Ross, Sonny Perdue, Linda McMahon, will toss him under the bus.
