Pence has not ruled out 25th Amendment, source says
CNN ^ | January 9, 2021 | By Jim Acosta and Pamela Brown

Posted on 01/09/2021 8:04:52 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Vice President Mike Pence has not ruled out an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment and wants to preserve the option in case President Donald Trump becomes more unstable, a source close to the vice president says.

The source said there is some concern inside Pence's team that there are risks to invoking the 25th Amendment or even to an impeachment process, as Trump could take some sort of rash action putting the nation at risk.

As of Saturday evening, Trump and Pence still have not spoken since the Wednesday incursion at the US Capitol that left five people dead, including a Capitol Police officer, another source told CNN. The President has also not made any public comments denouncing death threats that have been posted on social media targeting Pence.

“A source close to...”

No one with even a modicum of critical thinking skills should believe anything coming from CNN.

You’ve never heard a president can’t fire a vice president? Seriously? I just wanted to confirm what you meant.

He is on a military base in Texas and has had his internet communications shut down. The major media are not providing him with a forum but are demonizing him and his supporters.
What would YOU call that?.

I call that a preview of what is to come for us. And richly deserved since we refused to fight when we had the opportunity.

Trump won.
They outvoted him through fraud.
Regardless of the figures who actually voted for Trump, the mail in scam and Dominion would have assured his defeat even though his margin of victory was close. If Trump beat out Biden by 1 million votes, the system they set up would generate 2 million fradulent Democrat votes.

I really hate SCOTUS at this point.
Barrett, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh- a REAL Coward - will fold on everything

There was no doubt that President Trump won. Both the Republican and Democrat Parties, aided and abetted by the media, along with fools conspired to get him out of Office. They were successful. They sowed to the wind. Over time they will reap the whirlwind. I hope the harvest is bountiful.

My post stated, “I would like to believe something bigger is going on.” Which contrasts that something big is going on.

I hope that something is being done, but I doubt it

Well, I call it gossip and innuendo if you can’t cite a source. This may be a surprise to you, but people can actually communicate WITHOUT the vaunted Twitter or even the internet.

We need to help in whatever way possible.

Both parties need to pay for this but specially the GOPe as their collaboration with the left generated this defeat.

Trump should start a third party and drain the GOP of populist and conservatives. He could probably pick up independents and even some Dems.

But make no mistake about this - the GOP is cannot be salvaged.

We gave them the most successful president and candidate in history and they destroyed him.

People like Nikki Haley and even Marsha Blackburn, cut and ran from the pressure.

Dems would NEVER do that.

A party which expects to defeat them politically must be as determined and courageous.

The GOP is not and never will be.

It’s run by a collection of collaborators and cowards
