In reply to the discussion: Dan Coats is a good pick for the driveling propaganda piece in the NYT [View all]leftstreet

Everyone's at risk of thinking this is another episode in the reality tv series The Donald Trump as POTUS show. It's not - it's fucking serious.
This is no way for the presidency to operate. If the government is being led by a madman, then it is the responsibility of those with evidence of this to publicly report their concerns to Congress. There is no provision or clause in the Constitution for babysitting, or co-opting his decision-making. If he's unfit, they need to disengage from his service and seek to remove him from office. Nothing short of that is acceptable.
very nicely stated

I think the opposite. I think he went public because the private pleas were unsuccessful.

It's all about protecting the Republican Party brand and an attempt to remain in power.

Regarding treason: Bullshit. Regarding sedition: Bullshit. Self serving: probably. So what?

I am not trying to smear you. I said your echoing of trump is inadvertent, unconscious

If I caught myself unconsciously echoing Trump talking points, I might step back and rethink things
