Douthat urges the cabinet and Congress to oust Trump using the 25th amendment

Close to 20 Congress Dems have used the word impeachment.

Boy who could have seen this coming. I'm glad the GOP leadership stepped in last summer and sent a stromg message about how wrong this all is.

Am I alone in feeling maybe Comey didn't lead with his best shot on drumpf's obstructionizing.

Also, lots of people auditioning for best incriminator in a supporting role.

Probably gonna have to have something on Ivanka to get drumpf to cash in his chips

That number about to increase exponentially. And deservedly so.

Fox kinda fascinating. Tucker and Hannity scraped the bottom of the barrel tonight to deflect. Hannity went in on the discredited Seth Rich story in tremendously gross fashion. But now they're running a special edition of Special Report, which I'm sure in tenor is more favorable to Trump than anything on CNN or MSNBC would be, but it is a) largely skeptical of the admin and b) a red siren that something is really fucking wrong.

Saw a tweet about Montana and Georgia internal polls not looking good for GOP. Maybe they are finally getting scared enough about their jobs to care.

Mine too! There are two candidates for two slots, one of which is currently held by the other Democrat, the other is currently held by an independent who allegedly voted Trump.

I'm for whatever gets him out of office, but to make it sound like he's a child who can't understand what he's doing or stop his behavior is such nonsense that it almost makes me want to disregard the whole idea of using the 25th.

Congrats Jodi and Becky!

As a reason for ousting him, rank incompetence/incapacity may be more politically palatable than calculated malice. So how about this compromise:

We jettison drumpf because his imbecility renders him incompetent -- then try his hellspawn and their mates for maliciously exploiting their circus-monkey patriarch for illicit gain.

Tie their prosecutions all together, and offer as a plea deal their group deportation/stripping of citizenship. Albania's nice this time of year....

I say send them to Belize. That's what I say.

They speak English in Belize, that's not poetic enough

need Wolf to hang on in 2018

recent polls came out showing he gained a little support from his lows during the last budget battle, so that's promising at least

Sen Thom Tillis - NC (R) collapsed during a race in DC, given CPR/taken away in ambulance.

May disagree with him on most things, but hope he's alright.

he's 56

hope he's alright
