In reply to the discussion: Dan Coats is a good pick for the driveling propaganda piece in the NYT [View all]bigtree
(90,227 posts)28. this is my OWN opinion
...suggesting this is something even influenced by Trump is a lazy way to disagree with what I wrote, and is a despicable personal attack.
So Trump believes his presidency should be suspended and he should be subjected to an examination of whether he's actually fit for office? Bowl me over with a feather. I had no idea.
(Talk about 'garbage framing.' Forget Trump, that's all on you, emulatorloo.)
and oh, sorry Elizabeth Warren, you're apparently also channeling Trump:
"If senior administration officials think the President of the United States is not able to do his job, then they should invoke the 25th Amendment," Warren told CNN. "The Constitution provides for a procedure whenever the Vice President and senior officials think the President can't do his job. It does not provide that senior officials go around the President -- take documents off his desk, write anonymous op-eds ... Everyone of these officials have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. It's time for them to do their job."

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
