If there's one thing we've learned these last few years... Legolas Send a noteboard - 24/09/2021 01:25:44 PM

View original postIf the "esteemed" General and the even more "esteemed" third person in line to assume the Presidency truly believed President Trump was so unhinged he could start a nuclear war to retain power, there's a mechanism for dealing with that. And it's not secretly sharing information with an enemy. That's the cowardly, weasel way. But it would have taken true moral courage to go public with that belief and we know that doesn't exist anymore in politics.

... it's that no, there ISN'T a mechanism for dealing with that. Not unless the president in question is sufficiently unpopular with his own party, which was the case with Nixon but in the current hyperpolarized climate is increasingly unlikely.

Yes. And also, morally correct fionwe1987 - 14/09/2021 10:55:26 PM 275 Views
Morally correct would have been going public with invoking the 25th Amendment damookster - 14/09/2021 11:08:45 PM 258 Views
Right, because that was going to actually make any kind of difference. fionwe1987 - 15/09/2021 01:06:38 AM 252 Views
I disagree but acknowledge you have a valid opinion. damookster - 15/09/2021 02:03:23 AM 209 Views

I dunno if we're disagreeing, so much as talking about different things fionwe1987 - 15/09/2021 03:09:03 PM 252 Views
I'd certainly think "countermanding the CiC and giving top secret intel" would count as treason. TyrReborn - 15/09/2021 09:36:49 PM 262 Views
Who started the conversation seeing this as a civilizational struggle? *NM* Roland00 - 15/09/2021 09:52:25 PM 103 Views
