I part company with many thinkers I esteem on the right when I say: What happened yesterday does not call for invoking the 25th Amendment. We all know the history of this amendment, we know why it was passed (memories of Woodrow Wilson’s stroke, which left him largely incapacitated and effectively made his wife the unelected president, followed by fears surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy), and if we’re being honest with ourselves, we know that it does not apply to Donald Trump.
The attraction of invoking the 25th Amendment is this: It would remove Trump from office immediately before he is able to do any more harm

Even TALKING about this is criminal, treasonous and insane.
Trump is THE BEST PRESIDENT OF MY LIFETIME, and the traitors and corrupt thugs running DC are in serious fear for their criminal conspiracy, frightened to death that a good man may yet expose their hideous, criminal treason.
If the Repubs do this, I will change my voting registration immediately and never vote for a Republican again. Not any of them.

This makes no sense other than providing insight into Omar's effort to impeach - rendering Trump unable to run again. If true, this means Trump is more than potent. Otherwise, why bother?

I agree with the author, the 25th doesn't apply. Beyond that there is much to take issue with here:
"he would not be able to do any more harm to the republic" - uh, no. Trump has been the lone voice trying to save the republic. "Trump could...calm tensions by simply ceasing to claim the election was stolen" - Mr. Smith, have you ever heard the saying "The truth hurts"? "an unpopular figure", um, actually Trump is incredibly popular beyond the UniParty members. "It would amount to an unconstitutional coup" - like Russia Russia Russia, fake impeachment, lies about Covid, and a stolen election are NOT an unconstitutional coup Mr. Smith? And then he goes on to argue for impeachment, to protect Republicans from "the threat he represents to Republicans". I guess this is par for the course for NR. Can't have a threat to the Republicans, regardless of what the mere voters want.

But the election WAS stolen. Plain as daylight. This is a Gallilian moment. As each day of the incoming Biden "administration " advances, more and more undeniable evidence is going to come to light. Creating a national nightmare. That is what they should be more concerned about.

Kyle went to Yale. You'd think he would be slightly smarter than he seems to be. Doesn't matter. I'm taking his soup when we are in line at the future bidenville camp.

There is no reason for "the president to stop claiming the election was stolen".
The election WAS stolen, clear as anything. And ALL the courts and ALL the official people made CERTAIN that via any possible fake technicality, NOTHING was ever able to be presented as evidence in a court. THAT was their biggest effort, clearly. If ANY case had made it to the evidentiary stage, the tons of evidence would be forever on display as proof of the fraud. By stopping all cases outside of the courthouses, the criminal class avoids the evidence of their crimes being locked in for history, officially.

Ending the GOPe is up to us. I urge poster #1 to DO IT!! That is my plan as well. Clearly, our votes are no longer our voices. Can they hear us when we revoke our registrations or at least change to Independent? This is no longer about Trump - it is about the treachery of the Left. I no longer believe ANYthing offered up as news. It will be difficult to discern 'truth' in the coming seeable future. But I'm done with Republicans. Their fingerprints are ALL OVER the knives in Trumps' back. (noted exception to ONE of my Senators - Josh Hawley. Ever grateful to you Sir, for having the 'stones' to stand against the travesty at hand. To little avail, but thank you for trying.)

So they want to make sure he can’t run in 2024 - he scares them, we scare them. Not the first time Democrats have done something stupid for it to bite them in the back side later. If they keep piling it on they’ll pay deeply once we get the chance, and we will.
Kyle Smith, never Trumper - who reads National Review any more any way?

Trump restored the economy, made us energy independent, replaced NAFTA, curbed illegal immigration, was an anti-war President that produced the Abraham accords to bring peace in the middle east AND some "Republicans" are still not satisfied. I definitely want to end this Republican nightmare by throwing out every spineless Republican in congress.

RE #'s 1 & 14:
We absolutely should change our registrations to either Independent or Unaffiliated. I, for one, can't wait for the next fund raising phone call from the national GOP. I intend to let whomever calls exactly how I feel about the cowardly way the GOP shrank from defending not only one of its own in President Trump, but also the more than 74 MILLION GOP voters who had their votes disenfranchised by fraud and outright cheating in FOUR leftist cities!!!

If Pence were to engineer a 25th Amendment removal of Trump from office, under current conditions, it would be the end of Pence’s political career as the 75 or so million Trump supporters would ensure that Pence would never make it through the Republican primary elections in 2024. That would also happen to any Republican Senators who vote to remove Trump from office in an impeachment trial that would wipe out both Romney’s and Sass’s chances in 2024 and beyond.

Nancy Pelosi,. The squad has her by the short hairs.

#15 I don't understand why Trump would scare the dims for 2024. They have an iron-clad, unbeatable way to win elections, from here to eternity. Its tried, true, proven-to-work. In 2024, the senate will be 94:10 in favor of dims (DC, PR statehood) and probably 90% dimocrat congress. Why not? GOPe won't do anything about it.

Sorry 2nd post. Yes #1, I am done with US Fraud elections. They are the world's most corrupt. Even N. Korea has the integrity to put only one name on the ballot. Elections are a sham. I will never allow my vote to be stolen again by an illegal alien, a dead person, or a machine. A 100% boycott of the Republican Party will put them out of our misery.

If this author can't quote an article by himself talking about taking dramatic, drastic action in the wake of 'protesters' burning cars, looting stores, and attacking police at Trump's 2017 DC inauguration...
I can only say one thing: SHADDAP.
