Would that necessarily be a bad thing for the cause given the ship is sinking and they'll likely look to suit themselves?
The Trump Presidency | Biden Inaugurated

Yes. Plus parts of Congress left town after confirming Biden.
I haven't seen any language saying actings can participate.
So all it would take is 8 of the below 15 plus Pence. The highlighted ones would be the most likely candidates.
- Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
- Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin
- Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller
- Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen
- Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt
- Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue
- Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross
- Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia
- Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar
- Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson
- Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao
- Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos
- Secretary of Energy Dan Brouilette
- Secretary of Veterans’ Affairs Robert Wilkie
- Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf
The only problem is Trump could drag the whole thing out since after 8 plus Pence were to vote to get rid, Congress would ave to vote, then Trump would get a rebuttal, then Congress would have to vote again after considering his response. All of that could take weeks.
That’s an interesting point but I doubt the amendment would have considered such an eventuality. I don’t know though.
Its only 8 cabinet members that he needs not sure if he would get them. But its clear there are discussions going on. Which is in itself interesting
The .45 amendment could take care of all of this nice and quick.
I don't think it's pointless. I think getting Rs on record about it would be a very shrewd move by Pelosi
I somehow would think that any of Mnuchin, Rosen or Ross are more likely than Chad Wolf. Also Pompeo would be symbolically important, but I don't trust him for a second. In fact all top 4 in the precedence order (State, Treasury, Defense, AG) would be symbolically important.
They're already on record from the last impeachment.
And should go on record again.
It would be pointless since their constituents would still support them either way.
You have to put this in context, even prior to the election, Trump's approval rating within the GOP was in the high 90s so if half of that support eroded over this incident, that is a very significant number. The number of self identified Republicans is 27% of the voting population. So the GOP need to calibrate if appealing to the 45% of those 27% is worth alienating the remaining 55% and independent voters.
*Golf Clap*
Power.
I see RedCafe continues to ask the important questions. Woman hot, or???
Would you do her though?
Would you do her though?
I think I'd rather feck Mitch
To be fair I was looking at her official portrait 
This seem to be a pet peeve of yours
no, I wouldn’t!
It is, I'm famously an insufferable bore. And a feminist. But mostly a bore.
To be honest, it's a bit strange thinking people are only together because of looks. 90 % of the caf' would be single if that was the case. And look at Trump ffs.
I can vouch for that!
Nah, you’re okay
Norwegians have to stick together. Except for @SwansonsTache. feck that guy.
Absolutely!
I'll keep trying, mate. xoxo
Secretary Chao quits in protest – rather than stay to support 25th Amendment removal
Elaine the fecking grifter hypocrite.
I don’t think impeachment is a bad idea at all if they can get their shit together quick enough.
Dems hold the senate now and control proceedings. They can use it to show what an absolute farce the last two months have been and bring to light just how dangerous and disgusting Trumps behaviour has been.

Just seen Colbert went live for his show last night which was unplanned so as to speak about the insurrection attempt.
Just watching on YouTube, he’s fecking fuming.

What's the status of Trump's twitter account? Hasn't the ban been lifted by now? Strangely quiet...
Isn’t it 12 hours from the time the offending tweets are deleted by the user, and they were only deleted this afternoon?
