As I understand it, invoking the 25th Amendment could place Vice President Pence in charge for up to 21 days, sufficient time for a peaceful transfer of power to the president-elect. This is not something suggested casually, but follows a series of actions (refusing to accept multiple ballot recounts, 60 court judgements finding election disputes without standing or merit, interfering with and delaying coordination between the Dept of Defense and the incoming administration, soliciting election fraud by phone then threatening Georgia’s Sec of State, brainwashing supporters into thinking they have been victimized, calling on them to rally in D.C. the day the Electoral College count is being finalized, then deploying these armed citizens to the Capitol complex to ‘fight’) that have already led to deaths. He is no longer able to defend and protect these United States, his actions (be they purposeful or inadvertent) have become an undeniable threat to the union. If you don’t draw the line here, where do you?
The 25th Amendment is so poorly written that there's no consensus on what would happen if it was used AGAINST a president. Here a link to a long article on it. But what is sure, is what the Pelosi and he colleagues said, that Veep and a majority of cabinet would mean he is gone, is simply not the case for one who would fight it.
I agree the danger is real as much as I would like to pretend it’s not. It’s a difficult choice whether to follow events closely or to seek diversion. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Attempting to recruit Pence???? It's PENCE!!!! He comes with a mommy wife and believes god set him up to replace the non-believer as soon as he messed up!! Are they so desperate they'll ignore facts??? That the Pentagon has been hostile to the Dems for the last 4 years and even more now, is the most frightening thing as well as the deliberate lack of the most basic security that was lacking since they KNEW that Wednesday was planned!! As for diversion...there will be no such thing should this happen...ever again!!!! The world will implode as our enemies fight for the spoils of our demise!!

This site is not to reach an audience, but individuals, one person at a time. These are my thoughts that I have the hubris to believe may be unique, therefore worthy of the time of the reader. Some will be tough going, especially for those who try to identify where I'm coming from, what I represent -- as they will be stumped. They reflect my own struggle to make sense of things, rather than to convince the reader of the merit of my solutions, if I have one.
These articles are written for those of all political persuasions, unlike a larger set of articles that I wrote for the Liberal website Dailykos. com under the user name of ARODB. These were written for that audience, even though I often was presenting a position that challenged their core beliefs. Yet, some were just comfortable sharing of the feelings of the moment, when politics was subordinated to our common humanity.
