    Fake news ... I can't believe you all believe this is going anywhere and that you all believe a partisan like pelosi. This is some BS to drum up the anti-Trump vote.

    That's like all the Trumpers that believe he will get Obama and Biden charged... oh and Hilary. lol not gonna happen. BOTH of these sides are playing people like fiddles cause it's October so why the **** not start some ****.

    They want ENGAGEMENT to be as high as possible to get people off their ass to vote against the other side because they realize NO ONE LIKES THEIR CANDIDATES.

    I posted this thread before Pelosi's whatever.

    I think it's a very viable path.

    1. Trump hasn't committed to a peaceful transition
    2. He's a dumpster fire. A cargo ship full of dumpster fires. Republicans are going to start jumping ship.
    3. This is a perfect avenue for Republicans to save face by saying 'Hey, see! Trump is bad! I learned my lesson! Down with Trump!', pin their trespasses on an easy scapegoat and start rebuilding the GOP brand, which is badly tarnished by this nonsense.

    They're already doing so with ramped up suppression. Invalidating votes is the next step that's far more insidious and harder to counteract.

    This is for the Biden - Harris transition. Bait and switch. If I were a Dem, I'd be pissed. Fortunately, there's no way Trump loses. I'll bet DD's house on that.

    That’s what Trump said (see post above your). It’s big time true.

    still hard to see more than half of the cabinet and 2/3 of congress going along with this, especially with less than two weeks left.

    Really?

    Trump is a garbage scow that's on fire and sinking at the same time. Do you really want to be associated with that when it goes down and sucks you under?

    Politicians are rats. They're opportunists and they run from danger. They only fight when they're cornered and the 25th is a lifeline.

    The Rs choice is whether or not Trump will seek revenge in the next election cycle.

    Invoking the 25th might be the right thing to do for the country but could end your political career.

    I have zero trust the Rs will do the right thing.

    25th precludes him from holding any public office.

    And once he loses that leverage, the hole he's in just gets deeper.
