Right. Because a National Paper of Record that many people across the country will use as a news source won't vet their source. Way to "Stand up to Trump" Mike.
Melanie is not happy and demonstrates her ignorance.
"Freedom of speech is an important pillar of our nation's founding principles and a free press is important to our democracy. The press should be fair, unbiased and responsible."
I missed the part in the First Amendment about fair…
Coffman is right about one thing, it could have been written by anyone inside or outside the White House. Mainly because the experiences and opinions expressed in both the Op-Ed and Woodward's book are confirmed to be widely held.
That's the problem Trump faces trying to expose the writer — most of his staff and those close to the White House would likely fail a lie detector test (sort of like Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Orient Express”).
My money is on a highly placed zealot staffer for Pence (Pence not being bright nor brave enough to do the deed himself). What better way to fulfill God's Destiny than to lay the groundwork for your champion to assume the Presidency once the flawed current occupant is humiliated out of office? Et Tu Brute!
If 25th Amendment is actually invoked by the VP against Trump, would it work? Would a majority of cabinet officials go along with it? Next up, would and should Democrats go with it presuming that at least half of Republicans in the House are going for it? This has to be bipartisan because it takes 2/3 of both houses to do this and there is no sense in Democrats going out on the limb for the VP unless the Republicans are willing to head out first.
I suspect Pence wouldn't act unless there were more obvious problems, things beyond what everyone has already seen.
If the *resident starts carrying around steel balls in his hand and talking of strawberries, if he can't walk and won't allow anyone to see him in a wheel chair, if he doesn't know what day it is for several in a row, or is confused by what to do when he's on the golf course and someone hands him a club — then yeah, I think Pence might invoke and have the discussion with the principle executives of the Cabinet departments.
If Pence and Cabinet members invoke and Trump protests, asking for a vote in both Houses of Congress, I'd hope each member would carefully consider what evidence is offered of incapacity and vote their conscience, NOT subject to partisan positioning.
I agree with JiD — if Trump doesn't resign due to the humiliation (can't be shamed, but his fragile ego could cause a mental break ), then no, I don't think the 25th amendment is really in play unless he tries to start a nuclear war. Otherwise, he'll have to be forced out by Republicans if/when there is more evidence of impeachable offenses and/or good ol' corruption and graft is found.
