Vice President Mike Pence is opposed to a call by Democrats in Congress and some Republicans to invoke the 25th Amendment to strip President Trump of his powers before his term ends, a person close to the vice president said.

It is unclear when Mr. Pence will alert Congress of his position. But the decision by Mr. Pence is said to be supported by several Trump cabinet officials. Those officials, a senior Republican said, viewed the effort as likely to add to the current chaos in Washington rather than deter it.

I think she is thinking of going straight to a floor vote.

11. I'd be shocked if there are enough Senate GOPers that will vote to convict.

Even after all of this bullshit they're still afraid of upsetting the MAGATs.

17. It pisses me off!

These rat weasels let this happen, and now they are sitting on the asinine position that getting rid of this monster is somehow more unsettling than what they let him do in the first place?

They are all TRAITORS! Party Over Country is their motto. They all need to go. I have never seen such stupid people in all my life. They are exposed for what they are: asshole selfish lazy jerks! Every last one of them. GOP rat weasels, just trying to skate by.

If we let this go away without action, it's telling the next fascist that he/she can do it, too. Trump is not above the law!
