“Lightweight Jamie Raskin is a stupid person’s idea of a smart person,” said White House spokesperson Davis Ingle.

Trump is a poor white trash person's idea of a rich person.

I was about to complain yet again "that's not how it works", but then I looked up the text again and this is explicitly allowed. Congress can set up a commission that basically takes the place of the Cabinet for 25th Amendment purposes. So now all this talk of the 25th amendment makes a bit more sense to me.

They still need a 2/3 margin in both houses even after the commission makes their determination, because the idiot is guaranteed to contest it. But maybe there is some truth to the idea that Republicans won't vote to impeach but would vote to declare him incompetent, based on his dumb tweets

Oh great another 2 year circus side show.

A commission to assess?

Ffs.

Nuke us from space.

Has anyone noticed that the "both sides are the same so don't bother voting" crowd have tripled efforts since we neared another important election time frame, funny how that happens.

Especially pitching that in the face of Hungary's recent transition.

His craziness needs to stay in until December.

His mental fitness is being assessed constantly. They just don't care about his decline. Putin will have him as long as he think he can serve his purpose as being a useful idiot.

Wow. What an uphill battle the Democrats have before them. How will they EVER be able to prove how unfit for office Trump is? Wow. A commission!

What a colossal f*cking waste of time. Just 25th him, already. You've got every damn day Trump's been in office for the last 10 years as evidence. Quit jerking off and do your jobs.

Man, woman, felon, camera.

Sure let's do everything but useful stuff

That's basically saying "No u".

Gross
Old
Projection

Seriously, people have (rightly) been saying this about Trump for decades!

Another performative stunt. Dead on arrival and everyone knows it.

I knew the dems would form a committee eventually. It's only a matter of time now. /s

"We finally got him!" - The same people saying this 10 years ago.

Does the 25th also work to remove Schumer and Jeffries from office?

Jesus Christ just go for impeachment. If you can 25th, you can impeach. What a waste of time.

"We are going to file a request to create a vote in order to create a commission, that can create a petition to allow us to file the article to vote on whether or not we can impeach the seditious, blackmailed. child raping, human trafficker that sold out our country".

The rules are pretty hilarious at this point.

They REALLY WANT HIM GONE GUYS

Hilarious how everyone here complains they take the (slow) bureaucratic route.

This is a political party and that's how they can act.

If you want fast results, take it to the streets. Kicking him out outside of bureaucratic procedures is everyone's responsibility, not specifically the elected parties

I haven’t seen this on Reddit yet. It’s interesting to compare what’s posted on lemmy and reddid.

He's already told you he's taken mental tests and done well, like Mensa level well, like they thought he cheated but he didn't well. What more could you possibly want and how the fuck do you think you are going to get it? A move like this doesn't work when you don't have the cards, and you don't have the cards dems.

he's going to ace it! it'll be the best 25th amendment commission they've ever seen! Maybe even the most they've ever seen, who knows? lots of people were saying "wow you aced it mr president"

Wasting more funds and time. Gear up for the elections, select the proper candidates who are younger and healthier, get rid of the old shitbags and re-take the executive, administrative and judicial branches. Then prosecute the fuck out of every corrupt MAGA turd. If you clowns let them get away with it again, shame on you.

I co-chaired the committee that reviewed the recommendation to revise the color of the book that regulation's in... We kept it grey!"

Bureaucratic babbel at it's finest.
