Confidentially incorrect as usual…

On the plus side. You e been learning a lot since I unblocked you, not sure how long it’ll last tho…

Section 4 addresses the case of a president who cannot discharge the powers and duties of the presidency but also cannot, or does not, execute the voluntary declaration contemplated by Section 3.[3]: 117  It allows the vice president, together with a “majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide”,[note 3] to issue a written declaration that the president is unable to discharge his duties. When such a declaration is sent to Congress, the vice president immediately becomes acting president,[note 4] while (as with Section 3) the president remains in office, temporarily divested of authority.[9]

John Feerick, the principal draftsman of the amendment,[3]: xii,xx [4]: 5 [10] writes that Congress deliberately left the terms unable and inability undefined “since cases of inability could take various forms not neatly fitting into [a rigid] definition … The debates surrounding the Twenty-fifth Amendment indicate that [those terms] are intended to cover all cases in which some condition or circumstance prevents the President from discharging his powers and duties”. [3]: 112  A survey of scholarship on the amendment found no specific threshold—medical or otherwise—for the “inability” contemplated in Section 4. The framers specifically rejected any definition of the term, prioritizing flexibility. Those implementing Section 4 should focus on whether—in an objective sense taking all of the circumstances into account—the President is “unable to discharge the powers and duties” of the office. The amendment does not require that any particular type or amount of evidence be submitted to determine that the President is unable to perform his duties. While the framers did imagine that medical evidence would be helpful to the determination of whether the President is unable, neither medical expertise nor diagnosis is required for a determination of inability … To be sure, foremost in [the minds of the framers] was a physical or mental impairment. But the text of Section 4 sets forth a flexible standard intentionally designed to apply to a wide variety of unforeseen emergencies.[4]: 7,20

Among potential examples of such unforeseen emergencies, legal scholars have listed kidnapping of the president and “political emergencies” such as impeachment. Traits such as unpopularity, incompetence, impeachable conduct, poor judgment, or laziness might not in themselves constitute inability, but should such traits “rise to a level where they prevented the President from carrying out his or her constitutional duties, they still might constitute an inability, even in the absence of a formal medical diagnosis.”

If it is triggered, all the President has to do is transmit a message to Congress stating “Nah, I’m good” to get his office back.

But Congress can just as easily disagree…

And it’s for any situation, left open by design. You can 25th a president for not liking glizzies (any kind) and it would be totally cool and totally legal.

It’s the emergency eject button, applicable under any situation.

And because of all that, the president has no say in the process. It’s the VP and cabinet that have to keep renewing it, and if they don’t, or if they do it too much, then it does go to congress for the 2/3s vote in both.

It’s too much to quote, but just read all of Section 4 if you want more details.

Longer than that, at least back before McCarthyism

Sure, not saying you shouldn’t do it…

But slapping that on an AR is not going to make it feel like an AUG.

So for people who want that feel for cheap, you want a nylaug or even a keltec rdb (what I did)

“I refuse to vote if it’s not my candidate I voted for in the primary

Well, the great news is the last time that happened was 2008 when Obama beat the neo liberal.

It’s just when neolinerals lose the primary, it literally doesn’t matter what they do in the general

The meh news is now that we finally have a non biased DNC, the neoliberals will do it again But like I said, when we have a popular candidate in the general, we don’t need neoliberals in the general.

You should read up more on modern American political history …

You’re just repeating billionaire talking points.

You can just get a nylaug for like $800.

You can get a 5.56 nylaug and a 300 BLK barrel for like $150 and have both.

Aug barrels are like $800 alone

No, the reason neoliberals lost the messaging war, was they think like conservatives instead of like the Dem voting base.

They see what works on trump voters, shove it down Dem voters throats, and act fucking shocked a decade later when it’s still not fucking working.

If what works on Republican voters worked on Dem voters, wed all be Republican voters already.

This shit doesn’t work on Dem voters, and Republicans are so far up Trump’s ass, they’ll literally never see it

All it does is piss off the actual “middle” who aren’t loyal to either party and think the main problem is neoliberals are too similar to Republicans.

We win their votes by being not Republicans not acting more like Republicans.

This has been a problem longer than trump…

We can’t settle for getting 2015 back, we gotta aim higher and get a more stable system

Hesitant to give them clicks, but they have video and audio of it in the article.

But this is some shit we used to only see from republicans as far as accurate reporting.

trump obviously is unwell…

But Johnson’s sure as shit didn’t admit it in the clip they posted, or really in the quote:

The new footage, aired by MSNBC’s All In with Chris Hayes on Wednesday night, shows Dean telling Johnson, “The president is unhinged. He is unwell.”

Johnson then responds, “A lot of folks on your side are too, I don’t control him…” seemingly conceding Dean’s point that the president is unwell but arguing that he isn’t alone.

Seemingly by the greatest stretch of imagination.

He’s nodding his head anxiously and shrugs right before.

He’s not admitting anything, he’s deflecting. The only thing shocking is he didn’t say Biden’s name, because that geriatric fuck normalized trump

I’d love to live in a country where two homeless people living in the woods passed the threshold into “world news”…

They’re not running IDs, or looking people up tho.

They’re grabbing brown people and throwing them in a hole for weeks/months then maybe try to identify them.

In one instance, five youth in a detention center were strip-searched because one of them might have been charging a vape pen in a computer classroom, the review found. In another instance, a 14-year-old boy was held in a room by himself for more than 10 hours until he consented to a strip search. Another time, a youth was strip-searched three times in one day because staff believed he possessed drug paraphernalia, the report found.

Nothing was found during any of those searches, the office reported.

If prisoners don’t like something, it will be used as a punishment and means of compliance.

This is psychological torture, and it’s not just an issue when it’s happening to children, it shouldn’t be happening to anyone

The stress and trauma are just making it even more likely they reoffend.

He slammed what he said were “fat troops” and added “it’s completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and leading commands around the world. It’s a bad look.”

Can’t believe Cankles didn’t take this personally…
