Among potential examples of such unforeseen emergencies, legal scholars have listed kidnapping of the president and “political emergencies” such as impeachment. Traits such as unpopularity, incompetence, impeachable conduct, poor judgment, or laziness might not in themselves constitute inability, but should such traits “rise to a level where they prevented the President from carrying out his or her constitutional duties, they still might constitute an inability, even in the absence of a formal medical diagnosis.” In addition, a president who already manifested disabling traits at the time he was elected is not thereby immunized from a declaration of inability.

    There is zero chance that this clown car of a cabinet would ever use the 25th. They’re literally walking around in shoes that don’t fit (they visibly don’t fit, we can see the pictures) because they don’t want to insult Trump (who gifted the shoes). These are wealthy, powerful adults flopping around in shoes with a 2 inch air gap at the heel.

        wow amazing. I can’t believe this picture didn’t solve the problem of these pricks ruining your country. Maybe you guys need to take a picture of trump when he wears a tan suit, that’ll get him impeached.

          If I were Trump, I would insist everyone wear lederhosen.

          Hitler thought this would be the Aryan ideal but after he saw the pics he ordered them destroyed, but the photographer kept them hidden,

          Color is subjective, but wearing oversized shoes is something I’d expect in kindergarten.

      A core element of the Dark Enlightenment is the mimetic theory of desire, especially its scapegoat mechanism. Trump was supported by the tech oligarchs to serve as a chaos agent in dismantling democracy, to then be scapegoated and removed from office after destruction was complete. Credible institutions have noted the US is no longer a liberal democracy, but an electoral democracy, the autocratization process is still in process. It’s doubtful he will be removed before fully ending democracy, and especially not before midterms, I suspect next year is when those efforts truly take off, maximizing Vance’s time in power to carry out Thiel & Co’s utopian vision of a Balkanized technofeudal America, an antithesis to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

        The US has never been a democracy, at it’s best it was still a profoundly shitty representative republic and it’s been getting worse at an accelerating rate
