Don’t be comparing The Won to Hitler.

Hitler didn’t need a Teleprompter.

Someone alert the Senate president pro tempore. Somebody call the speaker of the House. And let's all dust off the 25th Amendment.

And read it while you're at it. Section 4: "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."

Good luck with that.

Here’s one idea, I doubt that it is original to this post but I don’t recall hearing it before.

Start a national petition asking the President and the Vice President to resign. Nixon and Agnew resigned (not at the same time). Neither one of them was anywhere near as incompetent and dangerous to national security as this Administration.

Then Paul Ryan could be a temporary president during the election campaign. I don’t know if the constitution could easily be amended to allow for that election to take place in September with an accelerated schedule of primaries and conventions, then swear in the new president two weeks later so Ryan doesn’t have to serve very long.

Why not? Should a great nation be further humbled and placed in peril by the vagaries of the calendar? That early election could be a one-off thing and the term would run to November 2020.

Funny how little things change history. He was supposed to have the meeting in his concrete bunker also on the site. But due to the extreme heat they chose a wooden hut. The windows were open and thus the blast was allowed to dissipate. Also at the last minute the bomb was moved to the other side of a thick oak table support. If the bomb had not been moved he surly would have died. The design flaw was von Stauffenberg not being willing to trade his life for Hitler's. If he had stayed he would have been in a position to make sure the bomb killed Hitler. The luck was changing the local of the conference.

Stop saying that! I’d rather have incompetent, dopey Joe who would actually do nothing in the last few months than vicious, venom-spewing, cut-throat, Islamo-fascist sympathizer.

What other evil plots does he have for this country before he’s out of office?

Has any President used a podium in the Oval Office to address the nation before?

Green screen? (I dunno, I didn't watch) He could have been anywhere, and there, nobody is going to ripple the backdrop.

Hollywood uses it all the time to set up the actor on the background CGI.

The administrators would lie for him and probably already have a refrigerator full of clean urine samples for just such an occasion.

> That Hitler survived that attempt seemed supernatural to me - like Hitler had been spared because his job wasn’t done yet.

it's called satanic protection and for good reason.

I can’t help but wonder if the behavior being witnessed is what is meant by “nastying away”.

Good Riddance.

If there is anything left by the time the 2016 election happens and Trump wins it will be a huge task to return America. So huge I could not even guess where to start. Trump should immediately appoint his cabinet and immediately disband most of the current bunch. Immediatly select the new DOJ boss. Eliminate the useless BLM, DHS, etc. Clean them all out and fire most of the employees.

This is wasted time and effort. This muslim thug is not going to be impeached or removed from office. The Republicans have not opposed him on anything why in God’s name would any sane person think they would dare impeach el-presidente!

We are stuck with the great destroyer until Jan. 2017, we have to deal with it. We are at the mercy of islamic terrorist until that date. The congress has ceded it’s authority to el-supremo and he has made it clear America deserves what it has been getting. Just pray that el-supremo decides to leave in Jan17. I am not sure he will and if he didn’t who would oppose him? Certainly not the congress or anyone else in Washington.
