They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!
I think it's less about money and celebrity than it is engaging with, uniting, and empowering the most hate-filled , racist groups in our country.

It's still going to take 2/3 of Congress to get Trump out. Part of the amendment is if it's invoked, then the President can certify that he is capable of doing the job. Then it goes back to the VP, who would have to again say he isn't capable of holding office, and at that point it goes to congress to vote on the matter.

But they have 21 days to do so.

Trump doesn't have that much time yet so he'd be out until Jan 20 when Biden takes over.

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

The money and fame gave him the platform, but I think it was all the lib-owning and "telling it like it is" that made people fall in love with him. It's not like Trump had this huge cult of personality before he entered the political arena in the 2010s, he was just some rich rear end in a top hat. The money just gives him gives him an foundation of credibility to built everything else on. But maybe we're saying the same thing.

Good point, some background might help. MN, so we got big snow December 23. Since then just a few degrees above freezing for a couple of days this week.

No ice storm, but foggy + freezing is right. This wasn't on the deck when I went out at 7:15, so it accumulated this morning.

Yea, I guess I read it wrong. I thought that the president kept his powers until the vote happened, but I think reading this again, it says that the President would not keep his powers until congress voted.

Couldn't protesters get arrested now and held until after the president is out of office in order to be formally charged in order to avoid a blanket pardon?

Theoretically you can preemptively pardon people, that's how the pardon of the vietnam draft dodgers worked

Yes, and since Congress has 21 days to act and Trump has 13 days left, it's a way to strip him of power until the inauguration.

A full impeachment and removal would be better but this is probably the most realistic shot we have of nullifying him for 13 days. No nuclear football, no more pardons.

Yeah, Carter pardoned all the vietnam war draft dodgers, which was like 100-500k people, most? none? of which had been charged with crimes for that.

I guess DC could feasibly have jurisdiction but the weird way that DC functions as an administrative unit and how it’s technically overseen by the federal government might make that pointless.

Good morning!

Wednesday was a sad day for America. Sports maybe now more than ever needs to be an outlet from the divide in this country. However #Phillies fans will not be happy with this news. The #Mets will be a better team in 2021, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again.

Chao has served in Trump’s cabinet for four years and has stood by the president’s side through countless controversies, including when Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides” during the Neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville.
