Trump has a serious neurological disorder...

You don't need to be a doctor to see it.

What the fuck happens now? Does anyone have the balls to invoke the 25th Amendment? What happens either way?

How can he make it through the debates? Won't the headlines be "Trump is brain damaged?" Will any of his voters even care?

I mean really what the fuck? The guy isn't playing with a full deck and he has access to the nuclear codes. WTF???

the USA by every single Repuke in federal office. Every single one is a traitor, a co-conspirator in the deaths of Americans, a breaker of oaths, a feckless coward.

Impeachment requires agreement from fewer people than removal via 25.4.

Whatever the impeachment charges, the senate could have removed him really for any reason. They could even have said we don't think he's guilty of the charges but we think the country would be better off with pence as president so bye-bye donnie

But they didn't do that. So why would they *and* pence *and* half the cabinet turn around and get rid of Donnie now?

If had any sense left he’d be laying low, but he just has to have the lime light and continues to show his deterioration to the rest of the world. It’s got to be scary for the entire world to watch this while nothing happens to him. I keep waiting for a stroke or something and I suspect that’s what the cowardly rethugs are hoping for. They’ll never take any action.

not mini-strokes or cardio vascular in anyway.

It's like a human version of "mad cow disease" - holes in the brain.

He has a disorder all right. It's called narcissistic personality disorder and that's what his big riots (rallies) are about. He needs his Supply. He needs the cheering and yelling and adoration on a regular basis to feed his enormous ego.

because tRump is deteriorating quite quickly and something must give but what about Pence? He's a lap dog for tRump and has zero leadership capabilities but he'd likely be the place holder through 'til November don't you think?

And no, there's not a single damn Rethuglican in our government who will do anything about it.

We need to focus on what we need to do when we control all of Congress & the White House. What legislation do we need to pass & have signed into law that will prevent this Trumpian nightmare from ever happening again?

Where is the forum on DU that's working on drafting that legislation? Or at least drafting the outline of the goals that legislation needs to accomplish?

Honestly folks, I'm getting tired of hearing "Why isn't X doing something???" when I look around & wonder what are WE doing?

I assume you've seen the clip linked. It is some kind of neurological disorder. As things stand right now, Biden should be fine in the debates. I'm thinking of his primary debates this past winter, he held up just fine. I think with tRump on the ropes he'll be even stronger. He knows to go in for the winning blow.

But tRump is withering into a pool of incoherence. It will be obvious to anyone not completely blinded by indoctrination.

I think he has some type of dementia. Having closely watched someone with Lewy Body Dementia deteriorate, it wouldn't surprise me if he had that.

He is clearly unfit for the office he holds, but we knew he was unqualified for the office going in. He's a disaster for the country and the Republican Senators who passed on the opportunity to convict him and remove him from office after he was impeached should never be forgotten for betraying their oaths of office.

This is the key question. Are we talking something that will shake up the November election. Like he must be declared unfit because he's deteriorated to the point of dueling?
