>Weed has made you retarded.<

A lack of humor has made you insulting.

Do you not recognize sarcasm when you see it?

Or is the concept beyond your feeble intellect?

President Trump didn’t get where he is by being a quitter, in his private or public life.

They wouldn’t try ‘em if they weren’t ready.
So if you see them them trying ‘em, that means they’re ready for us.
So take it easy and assess the situation very carefully before responding.

I saw where Pence is coming back Thursday night instead of Friday. I don’t see the big deal.

I'm starting to see it. They have the 67 Senators lined up, almost (I count 64-65). They also have a majority of the House--so impeachment is very close to a done deal.

They will need 2/3rds of the House (of those sitting and present, I believe) for a 25th Amendment move, but Trump will be under arrest for 27 days, martial law will be declared, Internet sites like this one will be shut down...enough time to put out lots of disinformation and sway the remaining congressmen. Worse case for them, they let the 25th amendment process slide and go for impeachment.

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

He also cancelled his plans for Saturday.

Why is Pence coming back early? What about the current situation calls for Pence to be present? (And, it seems, in Washington, while Trump is in New Jersey.)

I take it back, there is at least a plan:

The White House announced Wednesday that Pence would travel to Camp David with the president on Friday to meet with the White House national security team to discuss South Asia strategy.

South Asia = India. Is this about the Indian/Chinese border dispute?

Exactly.

The fake news implies a causal link where there is none.

My hope is that the MSM over doing it with the fake news will cause people to get wise and tune it out.

North Korea is not over yet.

Evidently a pow-wow at Camp David this weekend to review plans.

And here we are self-immolating ourselves as a country over statues of dead Democrat.

A new poll came out...
Should statues be removed? 62% no, 27% yes
African-Americans only: 44% no, 40% yes

I’ve always said that the far left is only about 25% of the population. They just get a big megaphone from the media to make them look bigger.

And of course, the GOP RINOs fall for it every time.

The artical on the Drudge Report says that VP. Pence is voing to Camp David with President Trump.

It may have something to do with North Korea.

A possible military move on the US’s part to deal with North Korea ?

Just because Kimmy has backed down from threatening Guam doesn’t mean this isnt over.
