To be fair, if someone had killed Obama I might have celebrated a little....

You know, just watched "Network" again last night, and it pretty much predicted all of this in 1976.

It is astounding that the MSM just sweeps this under the rug without a second thought.
Similarly to how they've paid little attention to Gov. Northam's support for infanticide.
It's really serious shite and it's buried out of sight.

Please give examples. What is evil?
In what ways has he acted as a dictator?

First of all, just because members of Trumps own administration were talking about invoking the 25th Amendment doesn't mean there was an attempted coup. They would have to get a majority of the cabinet, and then veto-proof votes from both the House and Senate. It NEVER would've happened.
Second of all, it was Republicans who were discussing it.
This post is so correct that it deserved repeating.

The 25th Amendment was implemented to provide a method for an incapacitated President. Trump wasn't in a coma, they just disagreed vehemently with his policies. That this method was even discussed by the Deputy AG and higher ups at the FBI, knowing full well the illegitimacy of the mechanism, is an absolute disgrace. And these are the very people who are supposed to enforce the Constitution. This kind of bullshite is more dangerous to a free society than Trump ever could be.

The 25th amendment is - by definition - constitutional. Can’t make a good case for treason on those grounds.
The whole investigation was related to whether anyone on Trump’s campaign team, or Trump himself, committed treason. The investigator is not committing treason for carrying out the investigation. .

The 25th Amendment was passed as a direct result of the Kennedy assassination and the potential cluster frick that can follow an abrupt Presidential succession. When Reagan was shot in 1981, Section 4 was not invoked, despite him needing life saving surgery. There is nothing constitutional about invoking Section 4 of the 25th Amendment because you disagree with the President's politics.

Who says it was because of a disagreement in Policy, and not for serious suspicions regarding the best interests of the USA?
You are assigning a reason for the discussions regarding the 25th amendment when you have no knowledge of the reasons behind it.

The purpose of invoking the 25th amendment is in case the President is incapacitated.
Any attempt to invoke the 25th amendment outside of that IS political.

Reagan was on death's door in 1981 and George Bush didn't exercise Section 4. Why do you suppose that is? If it was inappropriate to invoke when a President has just been shot and is in surgery, how in God's name is it appropriate when the President isn't incapacitated? Section 4 of the 25th Amendment has never been invoked in over 50 years of existence. The people who floated this idea are so consumed with hatred for the President that they're willing to ignore the reason the amendment was drafted and pass and 50 years of tradition because they lost.

Again, I haven’t seen anything about a disagreement in policy. What policy?
Trump chose to dismiss US Intelligence findings regarding Russia. The POTUS’ own words and actions raised concerns about whether he was compromised.

Because they openly support it. Why are you surprised?

If anyone did to the Clintons what Macabe did to President Trump they’d have caught that disease that makes you shoot yourself in the back of the head, twice.

Was no need to invoke... Al Haig just grabbed the reins and declared himself in charge.

Does any of this constitute s crime? They discussed it - is that considered conspiracy or something?
I think opening an investigation in to the president without evidence of a crime is more of a slam dunk at this point.
