The 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides for removing a president who is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” That describes President Dustpuppet to a T.
Of course, the amendment also spells out the players who are authorized to make this decision and the process by which it must be done, but such considerations are part of the Old Rules. Remember New Rule #1: Expediency.
We’ve recently learned that a single actor can unilaterally invoke any clause or phrase she cherry-picks from the founding document, skip over the inconvenient bits, declare a candidate unfit, and strike him from the ballot. This is what Maine's childish Secretary of State did:
At Da Mail, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows met with Biden and called Electoral College 'white supremacy' before barring Trump from ballot - as she reveals her home was swatted. I invite her to call MTG to learn how to cope. Or Rick Scott, or maybe Jonathan Turley Legal scholar Jonathan Turley becomes latest ‘swatting’ victim after false report of shooting at his home (NYPo).

At WaEx, Democrats are switching parties in Pennsylvania twice as fast as Republicans.

From Althouse , "Trump’s victory is by no means assured...." "But the past few years of Trump, Trump, Trump have taught me, if nothing else, that hoping for the best is not necessarily a winning strategy. With American democracy on the line, I’m taking the only defensible position toward the New Year: full-scale dread. I plan to pull up the covers and hide under my pillow as long as possible come January. It’s going to be a long twelve months. . . . Writes Susan B. Glasser, in "The Year We Stopped Being Able to Pretend About Trump/The story of 2023 wasn’t the search for another Republican leader—but the Party’s embrace of the one it already has" (The New Yorker). Dread as the alternative to hope. How could dread be a "winning strategy"? Are Democrats arriving at the belief that Trump is inevitable? What strange power that man has!" Silvio Canto at Am Think thinks The Trump comeback is the story of 2023. At Am Great Fred Fleitz worries the Upcoming U.S. Presidential Election Could Fuel Global Instability in 2024. Mark Tapscott at Insty, HIDDEN ‘TRUMP OR BUST’ VOTERS MAY DECIDE 2024: "Janice Hisle of The Epoch Times points to the millions of voters who only vote when Donald Trump is on the ballot as the key voting block in understanding the 2024 election. Quoting pollster Rich Baris, Hisle writes: “Many pollsters might label these people ‘unlikely’ or ‘less-likely’ voters and may discount their responses or weed them out, based on the assumption that they won’t cast ballots.“But Mr. Baris said that in the case of President Trump’s voters, that premise is flawed. He sees a pattern: These previously unmotivated, sporadic voters now seem to behave rather predictably.”"

At Mediaite, X Doesn’t Need Advertisers: Elon Musk Is Rich Enough to Fund Its Losses. Capt. Ed, "I’ve never been convinced otherwise. Musk bought Twitter for the same reasons Bezos bought the Post — influence rather than profit. Musk has already achieved far more relevance than Bezos in uncovering the Big Brother-esque combine of Big Tech and the federal government to suppress dissent. Musk will only run into trouble if his other businesses decline so far that he can’t carry Twitter’s debt without losing control of Tesla, SpaceX, and other holdings. But he has plenty of space and time to deal with that vulnerability." Jonathan Turley asks Are You in an Anti-Free Speech State? We Now Have The Definitive List. Of course MD is on the list.
