    After questioning President Trump’s sanity earlier in the week, it appears Democrats have found another narrative to cling to – invoke the 25th Amendment unless Trump “gets a grip.”

    get-a-grip

    With a growing number of Democrats openly questioning President Trump’s mental health.

    Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) in a floor speech this week called for a review of the Constitution’s procedures for removing a president. He warned the 25th Amendment of the Constitution falls short when it comes to mental or emotional fitness for office.

    Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) during a weekend interview with CNN’s “State of the Union” said that “a few” Republican colleagues have expressed concern to him about Trump’s mental health.

    And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) plans to introduce legislation that would require the presence of a psychiatrist or psychologist in the White House.

    Justifying their questions by pointing to Trump’s habit of making demonstrably false claims.

    “It’s not normal behavior. I don’t know anybody in a position of responsibility that doesn’t know if they’re being rained on. And nobody I work with serially offers up verifiably false statements on an ongoing basis,”

    And now that narrative has grown louder as CNN’s State of The Union just discussed invoking the 25th Amendment unless President Trump “gets a grip”

    In fact, The Atlantic’s David Frum joked after the election, “Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Article 4. We’re all going to be talking a lot more about it in the months ahead.”

    So, what’s Article 4 to the 25th Amendment? In the abstract, the amendment itself is about presidential succession, and includes language about the power of the office when a president is incapacitated. But Digby recently highlighted the specific text of growing relevance:

    “Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.”

    What does that mean exactly?

    Well, it means Congress isn’t the only institution that can remove a president from office between elections. Under the 25th Amendment, a sitting vice president and a majority of the executive branch’s cabinet could, on their own, agree to transfer power out of the hands of a sitting president. At that point, those officials would notify Congress, and the vice president would assume the office as the acting president.

    And what if the challenged president wasn’t on board with the plan to remove him/her from the office? According to a recent explainer, “If the president wants to dispute this move, he can, but then it would be up to Congress to settle the matter with a vote. A two-thirds majority in both houses would be necessary to keep the vice president in charge. If that threshold isn’t reached, the president would regain his powers.” All of this comes up in fiction from time to time, and in all likelihood, Americans will probably never see this political crisis play out in real life. And that’s probably a good thing: by all appearances, the intended purpose of the constitutional provision was to address a president with a serious ailment – say, a stroke, for example – in which he or she is alive, but unable to fulfill the duties of the office.

    In other words, for the first time, the concept of a “soft palace coup” has been officially brought up on public media; we expect such speculation will only get louder.

    The ball is now in Trump’s court.

      1. Anybody that does not believe the way Democrats do is mentally ill. So say the democrats.

        It is time we put climate change deniers in jail, so says a democrat US senator.

        Yes, lets give up our guns, what could possibly go wrong?

        • So you want to start a civil war?
          How did that last one work out?

          Mexicans-Soros liberals-and US Intel Agency Spooks will have a blood bath if they try this crap. Americans will not stand for it.
          “Donald J Trump is the President. Accept it and have Peace. No problem.
          Do something stupid and have American Civil War. Understand?”

          • Libs blame others for them initiating violence.

            They’ll start the violence and say it’s your fault.

            Civil War? Lefty Libs will incite it and then blame Non Libs as horrible Fascists.

            • I learned real quick in VietNam how to determine if some was friend or foe. Those that pointed their weapons (gun OR knife) at me was my enemy. Those who stood by me/near me and pointed their weapons towards those trying to get on our base without permission were MY FRIENDS / The others were OUR ENEMY.

              • Certainly does reduce things to their basic level, doesn’t it?

                • “So you want to start a civil war?
                  How did that last one work out?”

                  How it worked out was that the scumbag piece of shit lincoln loving north fookin won. I’m a northerner and I hate that the south lost! I hope the south rises again because I will join they’re side! Lincoln has to be one of the very top shittiest presidents EVER!

                  • So you read “The Real Lincoln”? I did, and I agree with you.

                    • Genius and Yeah Right, I’m a Southerner and lost relatives in that war. thank you for supporting the south. I also have a copy of “The Real Lincoln”. A real revelation.

                  • X2….Isn’t it funny how children are indoctrinated to pay SUCH respect to the top-hatted one in history classes, but NOTHING is said of the real dealings in death and the rights of the southern states’ snubbed?! I’m ashamed of the first 35 years of my life because I was drinking the commie-red kool-aid….
                    PROOF that history is written by the conquerors, NOT those they conquered.

            • Al Franken is probably the last person democrats should’ve picked to be the point man on this, unless of course the democrats are really trying hard to destroy what’s left of their party. Now as for lying, well maybe we should take a real hard look at why their party is flat lining, why they lost over a thousand seats between state houses, governorships, congress and the senate any the presidency. Perhaps a montage of this scandal ridden, criminally privileged group would be very entertaining. There is so much fucking proof and it seems the people who can make this happen and would benefit the most, which are few in number but would be the ones left after the swamp drains, won’t do anything about it. Franken is one of very few that makes my skin crawl. He’s a disgusting piece of shit.

              • I can’t wait to see what these new people/politicians that have taken over these 1000 seats, taken over from the ‘bad guy’ Democrats no less, do. Guess what, this isn’t the first time that both houses have been controlled by the supposed ‘good guys’. You know what I think, you’re more likely to be in a civil war/race war/depression trying to defend your own property, than the good guys doing anything good.
                Let’s just keep it at that now. This country is in bad shape. The education system was at the heart of the problem along with all the poison pumped into the soft heads. And now it’s all coming home to roost.

            • STOP and think about it, WHAT is the REAL reason??? the NWO (libturds) want to do MANY things on there agenda, so ONE of the best ways is to incite mass riots, have Trump removed and then get on with agenda21, proble is IF the idiots really start a civil war, those of us who know, are aware of WHO needs to be eleminated from EVER holding anytype of office again, this will NOT be push over on there part and they probably will not survive!!

              • There’s a prioritized list out there somewhere of individuals that never need to see another day, I’m sure of it!

                • If there is a list, and there might not be, then it should be widely distributed with reasons for why they’re on the list along with pictures and addresses

              • This is a seditious rebellion against civil established government unlike anything we have ever seen. JFK was assassinated to keep people from interfering with the NWO. They murdered Gen Patton, JFK and RFK. Today we have a brave President refusing to go along with their plans and they have launched a major offensive against him.

            • Thats why i wont stop till im cold

            • Next war there won’t be any lib when the smoke clears.
              Kill them all its the only way the rest of us will be free.

          • “Holy pot calling the kettle black Batman”….. These pheckers need a hot lead injection through their brain pan.

            • I am going to SURVIVE until I DIE!

          • Dems lost the last civil war I guess they need a refresher
            On how Americans really are.

          • I have NO doubt how the American people would react should the traitors in DC try such a feat. Pretty sure TPTB know as well. Not going to happen guys……

          • Absolutly!

          • They already engage in every possible form of civil war, short of shooting you, outrightly. But, they are quick, to make up a reason.

            They were never pacifists, at heart, they have not remained so, to date.

            So, you are standing still on that proverbial, moving train.

        • The DemonCrats are just pissed that THEY are no longer in control. THEREFOR (in their minds) Trump is the enemy and dangerous to THEIR scewed views on freedom and the American Way.

          TUTSKI SHITSKI COMRADS – You lost the election.
          Live with it.

        • Johnny, Johnny, take a chill pill.

          • I thought it was 6 million… Did you make up 11 million? I think it was actually around 300,000

            • No, it was 11 million. Only half were Jews, the remainder were Poles, priests, gypsies, homosexuals, and enemies of the state.

              • Dachau was 10% Christian clergy, BTW. Bonhoeffer and Niemoller were just the tip of the iceberg. The Nazis called them bibelforschers (I might have the spelling wrong – my German is rusty), but a rough equivalent would be “Bible bangers” today.

          • Eisen/Acid Etch, I’m gonna get you for putting out ‘fake news’, LOL!

          • At what number, should the Jews have resisted.

        • Why did we have the Revolutionary war?
          Why did we have the Civil war?
          Why did we have the Mexican / American war?
          Why did we have WW1?
          Why did we have WW2?
          Why did we have Korea?
          Why did we have VietNam?
          – and all those other “little” wars here and there?
          To put us back on the path of freedom.
          To get rid of those who would take it from us.

          • Bill

            Why did we have WW1?
            To bail out the bankers that loaned Great Britain money for the war cost. Imperial Germany had nothing to do with US Freedom, nothing.

            Why did we have VietNam?
            This doesn’t deserve a rely.

            • Why did we have the civil war? Because the north wanted to steal money from the south. And we had a cocksucker by the name of lincoln as prez. (also a lawyer).

              • “To put us back on the path of freedom.
                To get rid of those who would take it from us.”

                Man you make me laugh ha ha ha ha ha 😛

          • Bill

            “To get rid of those who would take it from us.”

            The people taking it from you aren’t half way around the globe but right here in the USA. The NSA records EVERY electronic / phone communication in the USA. Uncle Sam can lock you up indefinitely without trial or charges. Let things get politically unstable and the very participants on this BB could one day be meeting face to face in detention camp #13 and amazingly its legal.

            The 4th Amendment:

            The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

            The 6th Amendment:

            In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.

          • We had those wars because the populace doesn’t see that the true enemy are those who declare themselves to be government. The only legitimate function of government is the protection of the individual’s right to tend to their own needs.

        • Oh OK, the Jew Al Franken SNL Stooge who basically was not even legitimately elected. Throw in the Fraudulent votes in Minnesota and he is not even legit. He seems to be the new spokes person for the communists. They got him all over the TV screen as he will be the next shill to run against Trump in 2020.

          Put the entire wimpering lefties on ignore. Who even cares what they say.

          Once they open up Pizza Gate, half the Congressional Dems will be in prison. Trump needs to roll out the army of Prosecutors and get the indictments started. Beginning with Hitlary and Podesta. Read this: About the 20% of US Uranium Deal Hillary set up for Cash.

          Come to find out Hillary’s Chief Campaign finance director John Podesta as ties with Central American Money laundering clan and Russia.

          RUSSIA? LOOK WHO’S REALLY IN BED WITH MOSCOW
          02-19-2017 • http://www.wnd.com, JEROME R. CORSI
          The company for which Podesta served as a board member, Joule, also received $35 million from a Putin-connected Russian government fund at the same time then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spearheaded the transfer of U.S. advanced technology, some with military uses, as part of her “reset” strategy with Russia, according to a report titled “From Russia With Money,” released in August by the Government Accountability Institute. “Clinton Cash” author Peter Schweizer is president of GAI, and Steve Bannon, the CEO of the Trump campaign, is a director.

          The Russian entities that funneled money to Joule and its related companies, and ultimately to Podesta, include a controversial Russian investor with ties to the Russian government, Viktor Vekselberg, and his Renova Group, a Russian conglomerate with interests in oil, energy and telecommunication.

          Podesta, it turns out, has been paid an undisclosed amount for serving on the executive board of Joule Global Stichting, which he neglected to report to regulatory authorities in the U.S. He also has received consulting fees from the Wyss Foundation, a group controlled by Swiss billionaire Hansjoerg Wyss, an investor in Joule Energy.

          To complete the circle, Vekselberg, the Renova Group, the Skolkovo Foundation and Wyss all have ties to the Clinton Foundation, either as substantial donors or as participants in the Clinton Global Initiative.

          Joule Global Stichting and Joule Global Holdings figure prominently as a client of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, which is at the heart of the Panama Papers investigation into offshore money-laundering operations on a massive international scale.

          John Podesta’s brother, Tony Podesta, runs the firm that got $180,000 from Uranium One, the Russian government’s uranium company to which Hillary Clinton transferred 20 percent of U.S. uranium.

          Schweizer’s “Clinton Cash” documents Uranium One funneled millions to the Clinton Foundation as the Russian government gained ownership of the company.

          • Cont:

            Hillary ‘reset’ and Podesta’s unreported gains

            John Podesta’s personal role in Clinton Foundation offshore banking operations is demonstrated in the major technology transfer from the United States to Russia conducted as part of Hillary Clinton’s “reset” policy. The move greatly enhanced the Russian military’s technological capacities, according to both the FBI and the U.S. Army.

            The Russia report’s executive summary lays out the case against Podesta:
            •Russian government officials and American corporations participated in the technology transfer project overseen by Hillary Clinton’s State Department that funneled tens of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation.
            •A Putin-connected Russian government fund transferred $35 million to a small company with Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta on its executive board, which included senior Russian officials.
            •Podesta failed to reveal, as required by law on his federal financial disclosures, his membership on the board of this offshore company.
            •Podesta also headed up a think tank that wrote favorably about the Russian reset while apparently receiving millions from Kremlin-linked Russian oligarchs via an offshore LLC.

            In June and July 2011, while he was advising Clinton on State Department policy, Podesta joined the boards of Joule Unlimited, Joule Global Holdings and Joule Global Stichting.

            The Government Accountability Institute report noted Joule was a new company, founded in 2007, pioneering a technology based on harnessing solar energy. Podesta consulted for a foundation run by one of the investors in Joule Energy, Hansjoerg Wyss, who in turn was a major Clinton Foundation donor.

            The report documented the Wyss Foundation has given from $1 million to $5 million to the Clinton Foundation. Podesta was paid $87,000 by the Wyss Foundation in 2013, according to federal tax records.

            In his 2014 federal government disclosure filing, Podesta declared he divested stock options from Joule, but the disclosure does not cover the years 2011-2012.

            Time to put these POS in Prison.

            • Zeus, the rabbit hole appears to be a bottomless pit. VERY interesting info there.

        • Have you ever actually practiced cqc with a tactical shotgun?

          It’s fucking useless! It cant be controlled sufficiently.

          A magnum revolver is a much better home defense weapon.

          Why not the pistol? Well the pistol is fine but it cant handle as heavy loads as the magnum.

        • Maybe we should have invoked the 25th when we has a communist elected earlier. One are, ipso facto, insane if you think that what has not worked in the USSR, Mao’s China, Argentina, Zimbabwe, North Korea, Greece, Venezuela and more will now suddenly start working here.

          On a serious note, these people discussing this issue are truly the ones ill – psychologically and morally. And, this is just more fake news – viz., seize the narrative. You know what, leftists? Half of America ain’t buying it. You can try to create whatever narrative you want – but the thinking people know it is all just horse droppings. Oh, and BTW, don’t you guys at the leftist media, as of last week, STILL have Hilary ahead by 10 points?

          • This kind of bullshit(that’s just a proper noun God gave us to compare! though real bullshit is actually good for fertilizer and heat) seems to spew from the mouths of NWO totally fooled people all the time!

      2. The libturds are the ones who need to “get a grip”. Where do they get off talking about the Constitution when they don’t even CARE about? We had an election on Nov. 8, 2016. The people made their decision crystal clear. THEY DIDN’T WANT HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT. THEY CHOSE DONALD TRUMP TO BE THE NEXT POTUS. They need to get over it and stop their BS. If anything happens to our POTUS, I’ll be hunting for libturds. No permit, no bag limit. Leave it to libturds to find ways of pushing the envelope.

        • I’m beginning to just want all these lefties dead. They do want the same for us.

          • Beginning? I’ve been want…, no “LUSTING” for it now for years.

            • Menzo and Po’d Patriot, it’s coming. Maybe as early as spring/summer. Things may become more “interesting” than we counted on.

              • Leftie death porn hmmmm…. I like it lol.

              • Hi BH!
                Oh, I hope not… I’m not near as stocked up on ammo as I would need to be…

                But, anything like this happens to our President, I’ll see you in DC for the rope party!
                I’ll be the guy with the Viking helmet, sword, and shield(multilayeredkevlar and resin)

                • Piper Michael

                  Multi Layered Kevlar Shield. I have one of those. Plus a Nashville Plow Works Cavalry Sword. A ghostly fading Skull and Bones is my identifying cartouche.

                  • PM

                    Put some sheet metal screws in your shield so when you hit then they cut and puncture are you rack it across. Arm and hand holds like a Greek shield.

                • PM, LOL! That outfit sounds like a winner. I’m still stacking and praying myself. I’ve got a gun show/survival expo scheduled in my area for next weekend. I’ve already got my shopping list ready and ammo is at the TOP.

        • Liberal Lefties are just parasites on our society. Get rid of the Lefties and we get rid of welfare, EBT scam and all the rest of the freebies for the do nothing commies. Make American Great Again, purge the Lefty Commie Parasites. Open Season Baby!!

      3. Ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the United States, …………. Mike Pence.
        Don’t laugh. A lot of republicans want Trump out of there as well. If the democrats go
        ahead with impeachment proceedings for whatever, you better believe that quite a few
        republicans will go along for the ride. Pence is viewed by many as more conservative,
        and more steady and stable. In other words, not as scary.

        • I would say it would be impossible for the Democrats to start impeachment proceedings because they don’t have the votes, but half of the republicans are democrats in republican clothing.

          For the last 30 years I considered myself a Republican, but not any more. I won’t send them money any more.

          • I am an anarchist. I don’t need anyone to rule me. True freedom.

            • Genius, I’m the same way. Are you sure we’re not related? LOL!

            • Ok, but the scientific path to anarchism is via leninist, bolshevik communist revolution.

              • But the real path to anarchy is to exterminate everyone who tries to tell you what to do and craves power. Nothing scientific about it. Anarchy is basically just natural law.

      4. Lock up McCain and Graham. Then lock up Pelosi (she probably is crazy!). If they pull off a coup and we do nothing, then shame on us, we deserve what we get.

        • Anybody that says, “We just have to pass it (Obama Care) to see what’s in it.” is totally nuts and should be locked up immediately. McCain and Graham can go in the same cell with her. I wonder who would die first?

        • Yeah drop McCain back into a bamboo cage and Whimsey Graham down at the “Bird Cage”.

          • Eeehhhhh, I’d rather burn them alive with a propane torch 😀

            • Or hook em’ up to an arc welder with the amperage just below the death threshold and leave them for a few days!

              • Or maybe a gunny sack of rattlesnakes thrown over their heads and tied shut around their necks!

                Damn, I should run for president!

        • And she apparently doesn’t know who the President it since she referred to Bush as the president recently.

      5. The USSR did what governments generally do and use an ostensible excuse in place of the real intention would incarcerate political dissidents because they were mentally disturbed. It was accepted knowledge that you had to be crazy to disagree with the status quo communism.

        One need only to look at ourselves in a time line to see that the USA today has an uncomfortable amount of parallels with the USSR of about 1970.

      6. The same orchestra leaders orchestrating the same show. The same names keep showing up again and again to lead the band. You know who the are. Trump was put in there to be the ultimate wedge, and now the people that put him in their are driving that wedge even deeper. Like who knew that could be possible? They did. In shows like this, if you really want to know what’s going on, watch the other hand. Whatever Trump does next will not because he was told to do it, it was he thought it up in his own insane mind.
        And now I want to introduce the Prestidigitation in the United States. Hey, looketh over there. Nothing to see here.

        The useful idiots are getting more agitated as the music(?) they listen to tells them to destroy white people and all they represent. Hey, what could go wrong. Thirty cities on fire like in France? Could be.

        • If anything happens to Trump, the streets will be running red with libturd blood.

          • Even local demtards need to look behind their backs, especially ‘media’ types.
            CWII, will be messy… very messy.

            • PM, it won’t be a picnic, that’s for sure.

      7. Happened before with the Demoncrats against GW when he was elected. They said he was mentally incompetent and needed to be put in a mental institution.

        • The big difference is that the Democrats and GW were playing for the same Establishment team.

      8. Some years back these scumbag commie Zio so-and-so SOB’s introduced a bill requiring a psychiatrist over the President.

        Sigmund Freud said while on a ship headed to America, “I bring the plague”.

        Research the history of psychiatry. It is horrible. Political prisoners such as Ezra Pound (see writings of Eustace Mullins), Ezra was arguably the greatest literary genius of the last Century. Three writers whose works he edited, received a Nobel Prize: Yates, Hemmingway, and another fella whose name escapes me. Finally after a decade of false imprisonment, Ezra was released. No charges were brought against him. That is the danger. Mental health is an excuse for false imprisonment. It is a way to assult your opposition’s credibility.

        No one bothers to question the sanity of the accuser or the psychiatrist. Besides being a racist chew wish pervert, Freud was a hard core drug addict on a crack pipe. Cocaine.

      9. All liberals need to be rounded up and shipped to the Hawaiian island of Molokai like they did with all the people who had leprosy decades ago… Except the new colony will be for morons.

        • AZ,
          I really don’t like you. We in Hawaii already have such a
          place and it is called Oahu. Molokai is full of nut cases already
          but they are so stupid they are only a danger to ferries. The Kalaupapa Peninsula actually is one of the nicer places on Molokai,
          but pretty isolated. I’d prefer that all the liberals be shipped to
          Kahoolawe and that it be reopened as a practice range. Better for you and better for me.
          Aloha friend.

          • I would send them to Africa where they can be among people of their own IQ level.

        • Why ruin Hawaii, Put them all in GITMO. Or just drop them off in Somalia.

          • Obama already ruined Hawaii

      10. yes go ahead and try that and see what the reaction is.

      11. someone should publish the addresses, phone numbers, email addresses etc of the folks who are bringing up this amendment. People who dont agree need to be able to communicate with them.

        • What a concept that would be.

          The Democrats are insane.

        • Soulson:

          As long as they communicate with them at their work, in their offices. I don’t think we want to go down the slippery slope of harassment of our political opposition where they and their children reside. What goes around comes around. Don’t even say it in jest. These commie bastards are known for attacking innocent people in their homes. No one deserves to get their door banged on in the middle of the night. Not even these pukes.

These people are raising a generation of even worse lefties in their homes. When war actually comes, you must wipe out anyone that may seek vengeance. Call me heartless but it is true.

              You got that right!

            • B, I’ve got to agree with Menzo on this one. The libturds are more dangerous now than they’ve ever been in the history of this nation. When civil war 2 breaks out, it’s got to be an all-out effort to neutralize them. It’s either them or us.

              • Genius, the libturds call our POTUS INSANE and yet THEY’RE the ones who are out there rioting, destroying property, attacking innocent people? GMAFB! If they want me, let them bring it. My MIDDLE name is KARMA, LOL!

                • BH, ya I think they go to bed with a problem on their mind and wake up with a solution in their hand lol.

      12. POTUS Trump has not changed since running for office, so why was this not brought up then… oh yes they thought he could not win! And now that he has won they have tried every way in hell to keep him out office. Fake news that some how Russia hacked into our election; then he didn’t get the popular vote and the electoral college should turn on him; scandalous removal of Flynn; and now because of the way he talks to MSM he is suddenly crazy…..what a crock of shitt! What kind of craziness is it to now want a psychiatrist in the WH? If you ask me, this Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu is a lunatic for introducing such half-witted sophomoric nonsense. He needs a visit with his psychiatrist….I’m sure he probably has one on retainer. When are these idiot Democrats, with their obsessive/compulsive disorders , going to get on with the business of fixing this country? They want to talk about POTUS insisting on keeping up his lying, well what about their constant lying. I’m sure that half of the USA’s citizenry cannot be in need of a psychiatrist be cause they voted for President Trump. We could say they are all crazy because they cannot except reality. After thought ….Who’s footing the bill for this psychiatrist? please don’t tell me the tax payers.

      13. Franken got involved, that alone should put this in perspective. Although he was not wearing his traditional red clown nose, nothing he says should carry any weight of sobriety or seriousness.

        • Franken is a lame has-been. Here’s one of his “stellar” Franken and Davis routines:

      14. Invoke it. We’ll invoke the 2nd. Easy peasy.

      16. “Ideals are peaceful, but History is often violent”: from the movie FURY 2015

        The Dems are doing everything that they can to turn folks against Trump and discourage others, so that they can re-take Congress in 2018. Does this turn ugly?

        They did this before to Nixon, which gave us Carter, tried it on Teflon Ron Reagan, creamed Daddy Bush to get Billy-Bob Clinton, and GW Bush to slip Obama into office.

        • Uhhhhhhh, G dub and Reygun were 2 term presidents, They couldn’t run again derrrrr.

      17. Wouldn’t be surprised if Pence wasn’t behind this, he has been under the radar lately. He could possibly be the WH leak.

      18. Have doubts that any war would break out in america if trump Were impeached or physically harmed. The last 8 years is one reason.

        • I dont think republicans would fight back. They have all given up and are just stacking ammo and waiting for the reset.

            Pablo Escobar’s Son Reveals His Dad “Worked for the CIA Selling Cocaine” — Media Sile
            02-19-2017 • thefreethoughtproject.com by Claire Bernish

            In a new book, “Pablo Escobar In Fraganti,” Escobar, who lives under the pseudonym, Juan Sebastián Marroquín, explains his “father worked for the CIA selling cocaine to finance the fight against Communism in Central America.”

            “The drug business is very different than what we dreamed,” he continues. “What the CIA was doing was buying the controls to get the drug into their country and getting a wonderful deal.”

            “He did not make the money alone,” Marroquín elaborated in an interview, “but with US agencies that allowed him access to this money. He had direct relations with the CIA.”

            Notably, Marroquín added, “the person who sold the most drugs to the CIA was Pablo Escobar.”

            Where his first book primarily covered Escobar, the man as a father, Marroquín’s second — which has just been released in Argentina — delves into the kingpin’s “international ties of corruption in which my father had an active participation, among them with the American CIA,” he said in a recent interview

            • Zeus,
              Most of the CIA drug running and black-op money laundering started during the Vietnam era, THAT is where they saw how much money could be made from it, they tried to justify it with the mindset that they could NOT stop it so why not control it and use the money for themselves. It just grew from there, the CIA have been in control of the drug cartels for years, they have even replaced cartel leaders IF they would not go along with them, you can look at a few military things that happened in south America and does not take a rocket scientist to see what happened there, Yes i have more details, but better just leave it at that!

        • Jimbob 327

          I don’t think that would happen in event of impeachment, the public will give the system one more try. The Republican Party would get overturned and become the new populist party. The defections from the Democrat Party would eviscerate them of any future blue collar support. Any pretense of them being for the middle class would be shattered. The Democrats would become the de facto freak party with zero chance of victory.

          They’re slick and can possibly make President Trump go away but the political populist “America First” movement is here to stay. The above would be its Pearl Harbor filling them with political fury. .

      19. Trump don’t scare me. He scares the Fuck out of those LIBTARDS and that is what I want him to do. I took my share of shit from Obama.

        Besides some in Congress think Putin is invading North Korea and that Bush is still president. How fit are the minds that walk the Halls of Congress?

        I sure as hell want TERM LIMITS.

        • Good one Sgt. !

      21. Just read that they are starting to come down on General Mattis; wonder if they want him to get a grip or see the psychiatrist.

      22. If they think Trump is crazy, just wait until they try to remove him from office and a few million “crazy” patriots open a can of whoop-ass on ’em.

        They don’t have a clue what a big steamy pile they are stepping into.

        • This Representative and the word think cannot occupy the same sentence without at least the prefix of, “doesn’t”, “can’t”, “incapable of”. What is more frightening is this Forest Gump individual is elected by constituents that no doubt look up to him.

          • Kevin2, LMAO! That moron makes Forest Gump look SMART! His IQ couldn’t be more than 60, if that much. He looks like the poster child for affirmative action. I wonder how that admiral kept a straight face when the moron said that Guam could sink. ROTFLMAO! He’s not the only one in the Congressional Black Caucus like that.

            • “the poster child for affirmative action.”

              Congressman Hank Johnson is a graduate of the Thurgood Marshall School Of Law. I have to say I have never heard of it. For a US Supreme Court Justice to have his name associated with the likes of this moron is embarrassing.

              Its scary that you might be seeing the deciding vote on a major issue. He was re-elected in 2016. That speaks volumes for his constituents.

      23. Pelosi,Frankin,Sharpton,Clinton,Kerry,Waters,Soros….need I go on? Lets put these in a padded room and then talk. Rioters,BLM,,many of the press! A lot of mental midgets out there who can’t accept that Hillary lost and Trump won. bring it on and see the country rise up.

          • My apologies Sgt. there are so many one was bound to be left out.

      24. “Justifying their questions by pointing to Trump’s habit of making demonstrably false claims.”
        Would this include the former occupant of the White House saying there are 57 states?

        • Buster, the shoeshine boy was the one making false claims, NOT Trump. and the shoeshine boy is black.

      25. This happened without true just cause(anyone can suffer true mental illness/breakdown)then you will have 4th gen for years to come.

        I really think it is time to break the country up,tis nuts that over 300 million controlled by say 400 or so people,tis time for real change.That said,any coups in this country though will play into powers that want to be hands will be a violent response,know your local govt. enemies now,they are not the only ones with lists.

        That said,we are too divided and have been for decades,time for a amicable as possible divorce!

        • No reason to break it up, there are plenty of lamp posts along the streets and trees in the parks.

        • Warchild, I think the country can break up under sever different scenarios and there would be no stopping it. The streets will be running red with LIBTURD blood if they really do anything to Trump. So what if the enemy has lists? We have lists of our own. Lists have always worked more than one way. Let the libturds come after us and they’ll be opening Pandora’s Box.

      26. These constantly whining and crying liberal commie democrats need a good spanking. They need to be treated like an unruly child throwing a temper tantrum. However, there’s a much better chance the child will learn and correct their behavior before communist liberals ever will.

        Actually, I don’t think any of the libs can be reasoned with. Think about it, where was their uproar when the usurper Barry Soetoro was playing president for 8 years? They loved their usurping, America destroying Barry.

        What we’re probably witnessing is the liberals in the early stages of going cold turkey from their lying dreamy illusions under Barry Soetoro.

      27. I just had to go there. This is George C. Scott playing General Patton Opening Speech. This is applicable and inspirational, as well. Fill in as needed.

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDAWaYu-YCo

        • I’m reading a Patton biography right now, he said every line in that opening speech at one time or the other, all the script writer had to do was put them together as one session.

          An amazing general, we needed more like him on the European front. Bradley and Clark got a lot of Americans killed with their WWI infantry tactics and by fighting the map, not the terrain.

          • Mark Clark was a glory hound. At least Bradly had good intentions.

          • Smokey, did you know that Patton, Bradley, Eisenhower, and MacArthur were all involved in the “Bonus Army” incident? Google it. Their victims were AMERICAN VETERANS OF WW1 who were just trying to get some help because of the Great Depression. Those four generals are NOT heros in my book, but MURDERERS. I lost a relative in that incident.

        • Here’s a better video on the same subject, Gen. George Patton.

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQUYl0oaNgo

          And I guess it would be a good idea to watch the video posted after this one too. The more recent wars, like the ones surely in the last 150 or so years, are more than just dying for ideologies and the survival of your culture. They’re instigated and fought because there’s tons of money to be made by those who never see the battlefield.

      28. American voters have chosen a new leader who has promised (and already started) to act in the best interests of America. The peaceful revolution has begun. Liberals, please heed the following words:

        “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.” John F. Kennedy

        …and our side is better armed and trained than your side!

      29. Franken? Mental health? That’s really, really rich.

        Maybe Franken can find his mental health in a car trunk with some “lost” votes he “found.” He sure wasn’t funny on TV back in the day, but he is hilarious now.

        Truth is leftist is like a mass hysteria, and is, as Charles Mackay (March 27 1814 – December 24 1889), wrote in his famed book, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds (1841)“ Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one…”

        • Stuart Smalley will never be a statesman.

      30. I have always sat back and read the stories and comments here. I honestly feel that if the Democrats and or GOP establishment attempt to remove Trump or if they are successful or even an attempt on his life we will see a 2nd civil war in this country. I for one like many others are tired of the BS with this crooked, thieving, lying excuses for politicians. They feel like we cannot make decisions for ourselves. The Powers that be would never allow the American people to vote for a lot of the BS they pass. Every last one of them could be gone tomorrow morning, and this country would go on. I may not as prepared as most people are, but I am ready.

        • Texas 4570

          I use to be a half an asshole. Now I am a complete asshole. The politicians and or The Establishment are slow to comprehend what lies underneath the calm surface.
          Like you, we are done with broken promises and outright lies and all the misrepresentations that were made to our nation.

          “For they know what is best for us”.

          That is Bullshit and they are walking on thin ice.

          I hope the democrats and the RINO’s have anxiety attacks, headaches and sour stomachs which Obama gave half the Nation in his Eight Years of Sedition against the REPUBLIC. May they choke down a bottle of Pepto Bismal and TUMS a day.
          They didn’t go after Obama cause it wasn’t time for a perceived Race War. Yet you can bet that a Financial collapse will do the trick for them. The Deep Shit State or whatever they want to be called.

          Texas 4570. I’m ready too.

          • Anon,
            good post i think you said what most of us are feeling! I keep hoping for the best and for that to happen i fear (actually not fear) we have to hit rock bottom first and that is civil war to clean out the scumbags,libturds and corrupt politicians and muzzies, WE DO NOT have a chance of ever fixing stupid as long as stupid is still alive and kicking!! just a fact!!

            • Apache 54
              Yup.

      31. “… until he gets a grip.”

        As in the “grip” left has, e.g., in creating Detroit, which hasn’t had a conservative mayor in over half a century, and is the first *major* city to adopt the socialist “Model Cities Program.”

        I have to assume Soviet style psychiatric prisons are next up for the vile fascist left.

      32. Eh,not enuff rope and posts Smoke,also,not looking to ram my way of life down their throats,just do not want them to do that to me either,I say time for a divorce!

        • With NO ALIMONY EITHER!

      33. The Democrats are simply doing anything they can to justify continuous face time with their sycophantic media and trying desperately to stave off their impending implosion. I mean, the incoming chairman of the DNC is a Muslim…right. Keep at it, Dems, keep giving the people more reasons to reject you and your policies and you’ll be essentially written off politically after a couple more election cycles.

      34. A woman named Walsh who does President Trump’s scheduling has been identified as a leak. The team has been feeding her disinformation. It is not known whether Preibus is involved, or at least that is what is reported. Interesting fact that he was even mentioned.

        • Disinformation would be a smart move, where did you hear this?

      35. Liberalism is a mental illness. Suddenly the mentally ill are diagnosing the head physician.

        Drain the swamp.

        • The greatest threat to the Republic are the Neo-Cons. The Liberals are political “cannon fodder” ignorant idealist stooges. While the Liberals think they are mortal enemies of the Neo-Cons they are in fact doing their bidding. The Neo-Cons are the strategists that use them to further the globalist agenda. Wrap the Neo-Con goals in an environmentally wrapped box, put on a freak show bow on it and the Liberals will present it with zeal.

          Marx worked for Rothschild. Rothschild never worked for Marx.

      36. You idiot Dems want a President Pence?

        HAH! You’re dumber than lint.

        Do it do it do it do it see what happens to y’all. Fucking “dictatorship by means of throwing a pissy fit tantrum”. Yeah someone needs their mental health checked… it ain’t him.

        Try for your little North Korea-esque dictatorship and see what happens.

      37. There is high treason and low treason and now there is soft treason it seems. Plotting to over throw the elected govt of the US is treason pure and simple Even in blue states there are those who support Trump and will not sit idle in a coup attempt soft or high. People are insane to think that they can smile and slide into power like an oily snake in a swamp. the Alligator king has alot of friends get used to it

      38. Whilst American society is reeling under blows coming from all sides within,your enemies from outside are watching.. does this not worry you? The US keeps rattling her sabres,she is going to be very surprised when someone takes up her challenge. You are opening up yourselves to foreign threats by continually fracturing your civil society,and undermining your militarys effectiveness and morale. I fear Trump will soon be besieged from all sides,his increasing inability to govern effectively will essentially lead to an extremely weakened America. Then you will be wide open to attack. And it’s coming. You will have been betrayed from within.As is the plan.

      39. Ha! “Get a grip!” Trump has a mighty grip…..on the gonads of the Democrats and so-called Progressives and he is going to squeeze tighter and tighter. These Democrat morons have apparently not gotten the news that the Republicans control both houses of Congress. There isn’t going to be any removal of Trump. They are going to be removed in 2018. In any case, any illegal attempt to remove him from office (and any use of the 25th Amendment would be illegal, as there are no grounds whatsoever for it) would be met with force. The ringleaders would be charged with treason. These liberals should look in the mirror if they want to see a crazy person.

      40. Shit AL what about OBAMA ? and the rest of you assholes? how is your MENTAL HEALTH ????????

        Talk about Lies what are Politicians anyway ????????

        Stop trying to start a CIVIL WAR you MFs……

        • Getting Real

          Civil War? The Press is working hard to bring it. Doesn’t bother me a bit. Been telling you all to prep for War. It’s a coming. Wonder if the Press will become a High Value Target if war does break out.

      41. A lot of you are going to disagree with me, but I have been very disappointed in what I have seen so far. I had high hopes that Trump was going to clean house and change how things are done. Hasn’t happened. Two little laws changed in the first month. He has spent the entire time trying to convince people he won the popular vote and running up huge bills going to FL every weekend. Where is congress with all the changes they wanted to push up to him for signature? It all comes down to politics. They had now problem trying to push changes when they knew Obama would not sign them, but now that they will be on the hook, they have become complete cowards. Trump and congress both need to Get off the fucking stick and do their jobs. Congress needs to start pushing the agendas that they ran on and getting bills pushed through and up to him for signature. I don’t like the tone that has been taken with our constitutional rights and see our first amendment on the way out the door. If the first goes then what the second? Elections? I feel a real power grab coming and people around him pushing to do drastic things to this country. I keep watching and hoping things are going to settle down and they are going to actually govern, but I am loosing hope. If the Dems where in charge and doing the things this administration is doing, everyone on this site would be screaming for an overthrow and you know it. Don’t be blinded by partisan politics. Stand up for our constitution, no matter who is threatening it.

        • JAS

          President Trump has been President Trump for one month and has had to fend off the MSM attacks. He has done more using just his influence to retain US manufacturing jobs in the period from November 9th until now then the last 3 have done in their complete terms totaling 24 years. Actually they have put us where we are today. TPP is history thanks to President Trump. That alone is victory for the US populace.

      42. Seriously? Politicians want to call someone crazy unless they speak and behave the way they want them to? That is tyrannical bigotry. Or that they speak falsehoods (in their eyes). I do not know a single politician that speaks the truth.

      43. Just to add my 2 cents, after all the wise and spot on comments: This, from the likes of Pelosi, and Waters? These folks have been off their rockers for quite some time. They better watch what they ask for…

      44. If we have s civil war, we will shoot more than muskets.and we will Drain the Swamp everywhere

      45. Not one word about obama’s sanity when he lied to us all hundreds of times. Not one word about his condition when he murdered hundreds of innocent civilians with his drones. Not one word when he allowed guns into mexico, armed ISIS, bombed hospitals, allowed iran it’s nuclear capabilities!
        It is quite clear, demoncraps do not want peace, prosperity, constitutional laws, or a secure America! They are the enemy and must be weeded out!

      46. You mean, the RETARDS threat to invoke 25th amendment? Let me LAUGH OUT LOUD!!! You mean, the SAME RETARDS who DID NOT invoke 14th amendment on that illegal muslim Obozo? Wait, wait, LET ME LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!

      47. “Justifying their questions by pointing to Trump’s habit of making demonstrably false claims.’It’s not normal behavior.'”

        ROFLMAO!! Have they met their failed candidate, Hillary Clinton!?
