[quote]House Speaker Nancy Pelosi news conference now delayed to 2p ET — in the last two hours, House Dem caucus chair Jeffries and Schumer have both called for Trump removal either by 25th Amendment or impeachment.
The rumor is that she was going to announce the articles of impeachment, but now they're talking 25th instead.

Re the 25th Amendment: Mike Pompeo, Steve Mnuchin, Wilbur Ross, Betsy DeVos, Ben Carson. THESE are the folks who have to gang up on Trump to remove him. It seems borderline insane to believe they'll go along with it. Just being realistic about it.

I very much doubt that they'll find 8 cabinet members that will take their heads out of trumps ass to 25 him. At least if they were able to impeach and convict him (meaning both houses) he would become unable to hold federal office again. Trump and his entire family are human garbage, and need to be disposed of.

It's very hard to get a read on Pence as he shows so little emotion but I thought he was enjoying the 'power' and pomp of his role last night. Could be projecting but I thought he looked like he was enjoying himself and would quite like to be president. On top of that he purposefully omitted Trump from tweets which looks like they have split. I cannot stand Pence but if the dictator in chief with deadly brainwashed followers told them all that if I did not throw out an election they should turn on me I'd be furious. He has thrown Pence and his family (who don't get SS protection and aren't wealthy) to the mob and I'd be terrified in their position. So, I'd say there's a 35% chance Pence is read for the 25th.
