Re: 25th Amendment Drumbeat
But you'd have to find an overwhelming majority of the executive and legislative branches to come to the most basic conclusion that the President is exhibiting odd or off-the-wall behavior.
It's a Catch-22 isn't it?
Since he is surrounded by members of his own tribe, and they control the White House, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Supreme Court along with most governorships and state legislatures, it would be risky for them to even suggest the tribal chief might be a candidate for a psychological or psychiatric evaluation.
So we will keep our fingers crossed, hope for the best, and prepare for a crisis.
BTW, it's all too familiar to me as I watched my mother sink deeper and deeper into dementia and finally Alzheimer's disease before my dad faced the facts. Hoping against hope that my mom would recover he waited until it was too late. Confronting and dealing with someone with suspected mental instability is very, very hard as denial is a powerful human trait.

Re: 25th Amendment Drumbeat
What troubles me the most are his supporters.
They will never admit they did this.
It's been interesting watching the social patterns form.
Right now, the hardcore supporters are posting and re-posting propaganda at a frantic, almost desperate pace.
They aren't reading what they're posting and none of them answer questions.
The people on the left side of the pattern mostly seem to be in the "he's not my president" stage.
Just an aside, it's been particularly entertaining reading some of the right-wing posts about the president deniers. You know, the previous president deniers?
People are just so facinating.
If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

Re: 25th Amendment Drumbeat
We will have to rescue the nation thru the ballot box.
At the local, state, and national level.
And, that does not magically occur on election day.
Organize. Register. Educate. Resist.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

The real catch is that one has to assume that members of the cabinet and the legislature are reasonably able to detect irresponsible, off-the-wall, or downright dangerous traits or actions caused by psychological defects when those same evaluators are most likely suffering from the same afflictions.
