Just now, Momma There Goes That Man said:

So they wouldn’t need the 2/3 approval from Congress to effectively remove Trump via the 25th. 
 

If Pence and cabinet trigger the 25th making him acting US president, Trump can reject it. Pence can then just reaffirm the 25th at which point he remains acting president while congress has 21 days to vote on it. Pelosi and McConnell could just ride the clock out for 14 days leaving Pence in charge that whole time and ending Trump’s presidency 

 

I love it! Someone pull Pence away from his boyfriend for five minutes so we can get this done!

Do they have to do this in alphabetical order?  If not, just skip over PA until there is 270.

but how would they get the cabinet to vote on it when he's got so many acting cabinet members since he can't fill his cabinet with competent people?

 

I thought he needed like 2/3rds of the cabinet for it to pass

Agreed. She may also not have been the target. A Patriot with an AR 15 wasn't far behind her. I don't think that guy was the shooter, but it's plausible that he was the target.

not sure what video you saw, but there are multiple angles out there of the shooting in the Capitol.  In one it’s clear what took place.  The barricaded door the protestors are trying to break through has windows, which were broken.  She was in the process of climbing through one when she was shot.  Only one shot rang out and it knocked her right back through the opening.

 

unfortunately, based on other videos, it didn’t look like she died quickly or painlessly.  I felt bad for her.  She made a real bad decision today, and deserved punishment, but the consequence she got was truly awful.

I’m not a Pence fan, but he does have a soothing voice when reading from a script.  Perhaps he could find work post 1/20 as a flight attendant or the voice that recites movie showtimes.

I've only seen one video, and that was enough. I'll take your word for it that she was the target.

It’s been a long, emotional day.  Would be nice to cap this off with a fly landing on Pence’s head right about now.

 

I'd settle for a fly laying eggs in Trump's brain, but I fear that has happened already.

He was a talk radio host prior to his political career.

They need to invoke the 25th Amendment. Soon.

Yeah, I know that.  But I assume he shared his opinion in that capacity.  That’s outside his skill set.  He just needs to read from a script.

Sit Down, Marjorie Taylor Greene, you disgraceful wack-job.

I will give Fox News credit for this:

they are coming down hard on the individuals who stormed the capitol

”thugs” is the common descriptor. To the point where, if you’re fluent in Fox News, it’s 100% obvious without a doubt that an email was sent out that said, among other things, we are to all refer to these people as thugs

 

they lose all of that credit and more, becoming in effective in negative credit, by pivoting that into “why didn’t our national security apparatus anticipate/stop this and wow look at how poorly run and managed the Capitol police is shame on them for not knowing this to would happen” 

 

but sure they get meaningless credit for calling them thugs.

I couldn’t get the article to load.  Does it say who the other 3 were?  Terrorists or Capitol staff?  I saw on Twitter that someone tazed themselves (??)

There was an objection for Nevada but no senators signed it so it was dismissed. 
Likewise for GA as Loeffler decided not to sign after today’s events.

Hawley signed the PA objection and so they are now debating that.

Michigan was like GA and NV too.
