"This is what I observe or expect to happen" isn't the same as "This is what I want to happen." Not even remotely close.

Anyone suggesting the 25th is a complete fucking moron.

The 25th Amendment requires the following:

1. The VP to convince half of the cabinet to remove the POTUS.
2. The POTUS can ask Congress to reinstate him.
3. Unless 2/3rds of the House and 2/3rds of the Senate agree, the POTUS is restored.

Compare the above to a simple impeachment plus removal

1. 1/2 of the House has to agree to impeach him.
2. 2/3rds of the Senate has to agree to remove him.

This is basic math, don't mainline hopium.

I am guessing Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and Geoff Duncan didn't attend a protest anywhere.

I can tell because if one was at one, the mainstream media would have made them the face of the protests.

Like they organized it.
