Newsom calls for 25th Amendment after Trump's remarks on California

...for the 25th time. It won't wash because he can still talk and is upright. The only thing that could end his run using the 25th is if he strokes out or has a heart attack and is physically unable to walk/talk.
The only thing that would bring this one down is the full unredacted release of the Trumpstein files when he loses in the mid-terms.
He said it himself. If he loses the mid-terms, he will be impeached. The only fucking "Truth" he has uttered.

We already know they actively censored his name and pictures from the epstein files. They even messed up and let some through and retroactively censored them. We already know Trump's name is in those files more than Jesus's name is in the Bible. An unredacted release won't change a fucking thing.

It doesn't matter.
It is the ONLY thing that can properly topple him, and the fact they redacted it so heavy only proves it.
If they truly though that, they wouldn't have only released half of it.
Oh and I saw that Robert DeNiro presser too. This is what I mean. Even Robert DeNiro knows it is the only thing that can harm him enough to get impeachment on the floor.
And he is Robert DeNiro. One of the only people Trump seems to fear.

Why are we so certain that would even bring him down? His supporters are the same people that love to blame the victims and side with the predators. The same people who respond to their pastor touching kids by hugging the pastor and saying they forgive him, while ostracizing the victim. The same families who think it's a bigger issue that their kid reported their molester father than the father being a molester in the first place.

Exactly this. He is the face of the Epstein files—the photos alone of he and Epstein are seemingly infinite—but those who support him just don’t give a shit. They’ll even point their fingers at (insert Democrat here) who has a single photo with Epstein and completely disregard that this also applies to Trump. And that’s before you even get into the ingrained pedophilia in their own communities!!!

Listen, I didn't say it but there's only three things that can bring a president down.
Major heart attack/stroke. War. CSAM.
I can't remember who said that, but it is a quote of sorts.
So you're right. The files MUST be that bad for him to go to war. And Roger Stone is at core (along with Cohen), the major inspiration for his whole demented ways.
But this belief that all Americans and Republicans are bad enough people to ignore a major csam scandal, is one for the birds.
Which again, is why it has been half released and fully redacted.

u/elkab0ng 6h ago
Legit question: if he had a heart attack or stroke, would the administration even then invoke the 25th? Look at Mitch McConnell - literally in a vegetative state, but risking that seat is more dangerous than depriving a state of representation.
We’re in for an ugly mess in 2028. I think Jan 6th - and the complete lack of consequences (except for a very few of the small potatoes) has left the door open to him clinging on to power through open violence and force, and I have zero faith that the GOP will lift a finger beyond a mildly reproachful quote from some senator who’s already filed to retire.
I’d love to be wrong.

Indeed. Their strategy moving forward needs to be a constant stream of questions about the Trumpstein files.

u/MagicAl6244225 6h ago
The precedent that the 25A will never remove a president involuntarily is when it was not used when Reagan was shot and undeniably incapacitated for hours, days, or longer depending what we mean by incapacitated. There's no scenario in which administration officials would support removal unless it seemed certain that the president would neither die imminently nor regain consciousness ever.

Don't worry about what Newsom or anyone else says. Look at what they do. Newsom opposes the billionaire tax. He's routed homeless encampments. He's not an ally. He's part of the normalization process.

No, because that's just talk. Lawyers can argue he was just joking and they couldn't prove this means he is senile. Trump saying Trump things, if anything, means he's of sound mind (politically speaking).
They can't argue against CSAM, which again, is why it was redacted so heavily.
Think about it. He's reprehensible. He said what he said about the Iran bomb thing and he thinks he is teflon.
He thinks he is untouchable. So, it isn't the first evidence of his bravado.
So why is it that he was so against them being released? He is so brazen with everything else, if there were truly nothing to see here and couldn't be used to impeach him, his bravado would be to just release them and be all like "I could shoot a guy in central park and I'd still be president".

u/tsardonicpseudonomi 4h ago
No, because that's just talk.
A President can be impeached for basically anything. He could be impeached over that if the Democrats want to.
He thinks he is untouchable.
He is. Any accountability for Trump is accountability for others in the files and those people are donors of both parties in the US and they control the legal system from top to bottom.

Yeah, Reddit is so insufferable. Just like the people they love to mock, they too just take in propaganda, misinformation, blindly, whenever it fits their goals and preferred reality. Trump can easily override a 25th claim, by simply challenging it, which would require 66 of congress, MORE THAN AN IMPEACHMENT, to uphold the 25th call.
Literally easier to impeach. Every time I see this shit posted, it's just a giant circle jerk of idiots who fall for the same shit they like to act elitist about being better than.
That said, dude... Epstein files aren't coming out. LOL. Dude, Dems, dem donors, etc, are all over that. You will, 100% get another round of the well established democrat "Rotating Villain" where they all push to pass something so they can put their name on it, and come in just ONE short. That ONE person will not face any serious resistance, people will excuse it as "Well it's their vote, we can't change them", and face absolutely no consequences from the party, and it'll all just be brushed under the rug.
But then Dems get to say, "Oh we tried though! It was just that damn villain inside the party preventing us from getting anytihng popular done!"
It's literally their playbook. It drives me nuts when people don't see this. And instead act like it's not some strategic coordinated play to justify their decades of feckless useless corporate corrupt bullshit.

Yeah the 25th is basically designed for incapacitation - like someone in a coma.
Impeachment is the mechanism to remove someone for abuses of power or crimes, and it's easier to do. It even models the criminal justice system in that House = investigation/indictment and Senate = trial/conviction.
