With all of these cabinet members resigning, I wonder if they’re leaving in protest of a 25th Amendment coup attempt?

DeVos has probably been Deep State the whole time.

I read a theory elsewhere that the cabinet et al already invoked the 25th Amrndmemt on secret, giving Pence control, and resigning so it can’t be undone.

Rush said that many Republicans are being told that if they want a future in government/DC they have to distant themselves from Trump.

Sounds about right

Very sorry to hear that. I thought she was made of sterner or at least smarter stuff.

With Trump’s support, she did a lot of good in expanding charter schools and protecting religious schools in order to give all kids more opportunity..

Buh bye.

Don’t let the door hit you in your virtually-signalling butt.

So many betrayers. It’s hard not to be demoralized.

Resigning Cabinet Secretaries lowers the majority threshold for invoking the 25th Amendment. Maybe the next step is invoking the 25th with a majority of 3 or 4 cabinet secretaries still serving.

Team Jeb.

Trump showed good faith and put GOPe RINO on the team but they never returned his good faith.

I see it as the masks coming off. It’s good to know which side they are on.

It appears to be over. No counter-intelligence operations to the rescue.

I believe cabinet secretaries are immediately replaced by their deputies. The Deputy AG, for example, became acting AG upon Barr’s resignation.

If she’s leaving because she did not want to be coerced into supporting the 25th amendment, then why is she saying that she’s leaving because of the riots?

And why shouldn’t she leave? Trump is leaving. He was duly elected to serve another four years. And you can list all sorts of excuses as to why he’s quitting, but the fact is, he is quitting.

apologists have no sympathy from me, seeing them for what they are - political animals afraid they’ll be nixed from the elite cocktail circuit

What should be said is, I’m resigning because I won’t serve under Biden even in a cold day in Hell, and, how dare you all try to cower me into guilt-blaming the President for the actions of a few subversives yet to be identified as to affiliation?
