It’s not called for by the 25th amendment. It takes a law to establish such a body per the 25th amendment, AND PENCE STILL NEEDS TO SIGN OFF. A House commission requires neither a law to be passed nor does a commission have any power, statutory, regulatory, symbolic, or otherwise
This fucking behavior is the behavior of people that have no idea how to properly interpret the fucking constitution.
Seriously.
It says, straight up, it takes Pence and a majority of the cabinet OR Pence and a body established by congress in law.
A House Commission is neither
AND BOTH REQUIRE PENCE.
PENCE WON’T SIGN OFF ON THIS.
That’s a fucking amendment to the constitution. Love it, hate it, its there, and it is the word of fucking GOD, not a rough draft scribbled on a bathroom wall by some House intern saw between cocaine fueled benders.
This is the surest evidence yet that either a) The Judas Goats exist, or b) that Democrats are the biggest fucking imbeciles that ever existed, possibly both, because someone had to have given them this idea AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD ENOUGH IDEA TO ROLL WITH.

1) Alright, fuckos. I'm starting to get pissed off.
Because apparently whenever the 25th amendment is brought up people feel the innate desire to become retarded.
When Pelosi recovers from her alcohol induced coma for 5 minutes to do some meaningless gesture, the same happens.
2) I'm going to lay this out as simply as I can.
The House creates commissions.
Commissions are collections of House Members, private citizens, or a mix of both.
They have exactly zero power. None. Nada. Jack Diddly Fucking Shit. NOTHING.
3) Do you know what else a commission doesn't have?
Any influence over the Senate.
Sure, they can include Senators. But they can't compel membership. Membership in a commission does not excuse or take priority over any other duties. And the Senators have even LESS power in them
1) Just for everyone's edification, I'm going to go ahead and explain what's about to happen.
The a bill to create a Commission is a special kind of bill in that it doesn't actually need to go to the Senate. It just needs a majority vote in the House.
2) This Commission is basically a group that is empowered to hold hearings and study whatever topic the bill dictates. In this case, 'Presidential capacity to discharge the powers and duties of office'.
Basically, they're going to hold hearings with people who hate Trump.
3) They are then going to use these hearings to generate a report that says that the President is unfit for office.
And this is how the Democrats will be hoisted by their own petard, so to speak.
3) Remember, in 2016, in the Blue Wall that is now a crumbled bombed out ruin with MAGA Lion flags all over the place, the people that were alerting the Hillary campaign to the shitshow that was about to ensue were the canvassers themselves.
1) It’s been a day, so I feel safe doing a full reaction. Had some kneejerks last night, fueled by bourbon, but after a day to collect myself and focus on other things, I’m good now.
I’ll start with this gem. This is the absolute state of the Democrat prty.
2) Ossoff, if you don’t remember pajama boy millionaire, was the one who lost a special election back in 2017 that the Dems were treating as a surefire part of the upcoming 2018 Blue Wave.
He lost.
And now they’re trying to run him for the Senate.
3) This isn’t the only failed Dem House candidate turned Senate candidate!
Amy McGrath lost to Andy Barr in KY-6 in 2018, another alleged ‘Blue Wave’ flip, and she was a poster child of the Blue Wave. BIDEN came down to stump for her (this is how I knew Biden was running in 20)
Remember: Fox News has a financial incentive to make the election seem as close and exciting as they can, to keep people glued to the tv.
Chris Wallace carrying Biden that whole debate shows exactly how weak Biden is.
Notice: the segments were each going to have 2 minute answers to questions for each candidate, then free discussion for 15 minutes.
Wallace stopped the free discussion when Trump beat the TAR out of Biden the first segment, and it was over by the third.
By the third round, it was just q and a’s, with Biden being given chances to respond. If Trump had been allowed to do in the third and fourth segments what he did in the first, it would have been a fucking massacre. Trump had to adapt to new rules on the fly, still got shots in
1) The Democrats are desperately trying to throw as many haymakers as possible before the debates Tuesday. This is not the activity of a party that is winning and confident in their candidate. This is the abject hysteria of passengers on the Demdenburg.
2) Leaked taxes that the NYT won’t show but will have us trust them to be entirely truthful?
The full court press on ACB?
The kung flu hysteria?
Honestly, this is why I do the 48 hour rule.
3) Their goal is to make conservatives react poorly. They want to apply a constant pressure of bad news and social pressure to make conservatives break.
