I think Pence sees Trumps

I think Pence sees Trumps resignation as a lose, lose situation for himself. Pence wants to be President someday, but not today, not for just two weeks. He would be expected by Trump’s base to issue a pardon which he doesn't want to do. If he didn’t he would lose Trump’s base for 2024.

Don & Rudy's Excellent Adventure will not be interrupted by Mike's Anthony Perkins impersonation. [curious, is Rudy Thelma or Louise? Also, does Don know how to drive a car, not that stomping the gas pedal next to a canyon's edge requires driving school or a license] And as important trivia (sure, Jan) how much was Trump influenced by Dion?

Pence has no good reason to pardon him.

Aside from a weird "Acting Prez for 10 days" Roger Maris-like asterisk, Pence gets little in taking over Trump's shitshow

(tho could do it for the country, if that's not too cliché)

An interesting possibility.

An interesting possibility.

If he was pulled out immediately, he wouldn't be able to give out anymore. On the other hand, if he had the good sense the Lord gave to turnips, he would resign in exchange for pardons from President Pence.

In reply to [25th Amendment talk] White House Counsel has advised all staff they need to stay away from Trump

Rep Clyburn points out that there is not enough time for Impeachment to pull Trump out of office.

We need the 25th amendment to happen now. Clyburn says the cabinet heads who are resigning "in protest" are shirking their duty by leaving without doing that.

This is shocking - who is

In reply to SCHUMER on invoking the 25th

*This* is shocking - who is "they"? Why would they refuse a call from heads of 2 chambers of Congress during a crisis? Would they put Putin on hold for 25 minutes? Treasonous idiocy.

Benjamin Wittes on prosecuting him on sedition. George Conway concurs. (If that's not enough, a reminder! The top of this thread has the White House Counsel telling staff it may be sedition! Is that a slam dunk or what!?)

Correct. https://t.co/fvjyBijFcm

another "wow" confirmation of the Kelly statement:

Wow. John Kelly just told @jaketapper if he were in the cabinet right now, “yes,” he would vote to remove Trump from office by way of 25th Amendment.
