Be the first time in a long, short-long, short-stumpy-long, time.
“Here’s what Manafort’s indictment tells me: Mueller is going to go over every financial dealing of Jared Kushner and the Trump Organization,” said former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg. “Trump is at 33 percent in Gallup. You can’t go any lower. He’s fucked.”
The first charges in the Mueller probe have kindled talk of...the endgame for Trump...according to conversations with a half-dozen advisers and friends of the president. ...the prospect of impeachment is being considered as a realistic outcome...One person close to Dina Powell and Gary Cohn said they’re making sure to leave rooms if the subject of Russia comes up.

According to two sources, Trump has complained to advisers about his legal team for letting the Mueller probe progress this far. Speaking to Steve Bannon on Tuesday, Trump blamed Jared Kushner for his role in decisions, specifically the firings of Mike Flynn and James Comey, that led to Mueller’s appointment, according to a source briefed on the call.
Have you noticed?...Yes, you have, there is always SOMEONE ELSE to bitch about, to blame, he takes NO responsibility. EVER. Complaining about his lawyers "for letting the Mueller probe" get this far!, like they have had it in their power all along to just call up Mueller and say, "Arright, that's enough." He's nuts. Trump the Nut.
...
Bannon’s sense of urgency is being fueled by his belief that Trump’s hold on power is slipping...Two weeks ago, according to a source, Bannon did a spitball analysis of the Cabinet to see which members would remain loyal to Trump in the event the 25th Amendment were invoked, thereby triggering a vote to remove the president from office. Bannon recently told people he’s not sure if Trump would survive such a vote. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/11/the-west-wing-trump-is-apoplectic-as-allies-fear-impeachment
This is the second time I've read about the 25th Amendment (Come to think of it the first time may have been in Vanity Fair) and if I know anything (and I don't) the 25th Amendment is, right now, impossible...Come to think of it the first time may not have been in Vanity Fair (or it may have been) but it definitely came from Bannon. Bannon once told Trump the Illegitimate that he didn't have impeachment so much to worry about but rather "the 25th Amendment." I remember because Trump's response was, "What's that?"
As I was saying. There is no way in goddamned hell that Pence AND a majority of the Cabinet are going to put in writing that the Great Pretender is a disabled Lunatic, I don't give a good goddamn what Bannon's "spitball analysis," which I don't even know what that is, says, T'AIN'T gonna happen. All you have to do is what Trump has done, fill your Cabinet with Retards like Pence, Rick Perry and Ben Carson, and you're home free.
Plus, have you ever read the 25th Amendment? I will excerpt it to keep it meaningful:
"Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the [Cabinet]...or of such other body as Congress may by law provide,"
Which I don't know what the fuck that is.
"transmit to the President...of the Senate and the Speaker of the House...their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of...office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the [presidency]."
But that's not all!
"...when the President transmits to the President...of the Senate and the Speaker of the House...his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume...powers and duties..."
Oh, that's real hard. "You're a Lunatic." "Am not. I win, you lose now you get a big bruise."
But wait!
"...unless the Vice President and...majority of [Cabinet] [do it all again!]."
"You are a Lun-a-tic." "No, I'-m-m not-ot." "Yes, you-ou ar-are." It's a Battle of the Transmissions.
THEN:
"Congress shall decide the issue...by two-thirds vote of both Houses [that prez is lunatic]"
So...You're welcome.
