Damn! Nancy is done playing!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday announced legislation on the 25th Amendment that seeks to effectively strip “future presidents” of presidential powers.
Pelosi, who is second in line to the presidency after Pence, held a mid-morning press conference with Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin on introducing the Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office Act, which would evaluate Trump’s fitness for office.
“This is not about President Trump,” she insisted. “He will face the judgement on the voters, but he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents,” she went on, referring to his diagnosis with COVID-19.
The commission would consist of 16 members appointed by both Republican and Democratic lawmakers — eight of which would be medical professionals and another 8 former members of the executive branch like past presidents and vice presidents, Raskin said.
The speaker was pressed on the timing of the bill, which comes just 25 days before election day, but denied the commission was politically-motivated.
“It’s not about the election at all,” she said. “Again, this is about any judgement anybody has on anybody’s behaviour. This is about a diagnosis, a professional medical diagnosis.”
Make no mistake, this is definitely about Donald Trump.
I just think that Pelosi realizes that this thing will not be in place in time to be used against Trump so she is framing it as a tool to use against any future Donald Trumps.
I think it is a sound idea since I have been very frustrated by the fact that right now nobody seems to be able to stop this lunatic.
Of course, we would not need this if voters WOULD STOP VOTING FOR THE CRAZY PEOPLE!

Trump stepped on a land mine when he decided to insult GOP strategist Steve Schmidt, who famously ran John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign and is a co-founder of The Lincoln Project,

I think Congress is going to be very busy next year passing legislation to prevent the corruption and lack of ethics displayed by the trump administration for future presidents.
Sorry donnie jr, won’t be able to swindle the tax payers like daddy did.
OMG, I thought the trump PR stunts department had done it all, but NO, tonight donnie is going to have a medical exam on Tucker’s program to prove he is fit and recovered. LOL
donald trump has no dignity and I didn’t think he could possibly do anything more to degrade the office of the presidency, but then like the weather in MI, you only have to wait an hour.
I think the jokes will write themselves !!!!
Just wait until the “doctor’ arrives with one of those toy medical bags with the plastic stethoscope. Sure hope this visit doesn’t include a prostate exam.
But he won’t be live in the studio with MFTucker. Pity. He could have given Tucker Covid.
A judge ruled that Carlson isn’t news, it’s entertainment and Carlson is free to lie as much as he wants. So no credibility there.
“Of course, we would not need this if voters WOULD STOP VOTING FOR THE CRAZY PEOPLE!”
And that right there is exactly thin insane ideology of the Democrats who have all but turned into Marxists.
You don;t want freedom o the people, you don’t want the constitution that protects your freedoms, including thee freedoms and protection of your vote.
You want this imagination of utopia in a communist run state, that you are too stupid to realize will kill you and or ruin 95% of your lives. And then you don’t have a choice back.
The you’ll have a Putin run country. Trump is just another President. Get the fuck over it already you dumb pieces of shit. And Hillary your queen.? Total fail and failure. Accept it and move on.
LOL, maybe you should get off the booze and spend some time working on your English instead of being indoctrinated by your Dear Leader.
We already have a Putin run country and trump is his asset.
Wow, you sure have drunk the right wing koolaid!
Chelsea sends you thoughts and prayers.
I think Pelosi is doing this to rein him in during the time after the election that he is still President.
Considering he was treated with cells from an aborted fetus, he might be mutating. 😂
One of those ‘post-birth abortions”?
So trump is now murdering babies for profit?

“Under the 25th Amendment, which was ratified after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Congress has the power to set up an independent body that would help determine if and when the president is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,” and thus the vice president must take over temporarily. It’s “a safety valve option,” Raskin said. The proposed commission would help lay out the details of that process and assess the president’s fitness, in consultation with the vice president and Congress.
“The Constitution is designed to give us the tools that we need to deal with the many crises of human affairs that can affect the continuity of democratic self-government,” Raskin said. “We are in the middle of a momentous election, and as the speaker said, the people will decide that. But when we get through this, the problem that we’re talking about today is something serious that we have to face.””
The 25th amendment gives them the power to set up an independent body. They haven’t to date. But they’re going to now.
Keep hoping this will be the straw that gave the camel a stroke.
