Yeah insurrection is nothing more than peaceful protesting give those good ol boys a medal

He's reported to be 'very disturbed' right now.
“Fingers on the nukes” is a code to authorize a nuclear attack.

This assumes the Pentagon would act on an out of the blue authorization.

My opinion ... of course everything I say is ....


IF ... and its a big IF ....


The cabinet and Pence and congress could agree on impeachment ... THEN ...


I would send a lawyer to Trump and tell him it has been agreed on to impeach him and remove him from office immediately UNLESS .... he kept his mouth shut and quietly left office on the 20th. If he could do that much, he could leave office just like every other president. OTHERWISE ... if he made one derogatory comment about anyone, if he so much as breathed or tweeted one word about a rigged or otherwise stolen election, he would be impeached and removed from office immediately and go down in history as such.

Even Jerome Marcus, the campaign's attorney in PA, has filed a motion to be removed as the attorney. Marcus said:

"...“the client has used the lawyer’s services to perpetrate a crime and the client insists upon taking action that the lawyer considers repugnant and with which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement...I believe that the filing of that and other cases was used by President Trump yesterday to incite people to violence. I refer specifically to his urging people to come to Washington for a 'wild' protest...I want absolutely no part of that. Therefore I have asked the court to allow me to withdraw as counsel."

Nice imagination there. What insurrection? It's called a PROTEST.

Why is this idiot's opinion supposed to matter to anyone?

I am naive. What dangers are we talking about, beyond running his mouth?

POTUS authority is limited by those willing to board the crazy train as it heads for the cliff.

Someone would have to decide if the order is unlawful. That would take a chain of command decision. Recent Trump moves into the Pentagon and DoD raised some eyebrows. So I'd say yes it is a concern.

Codes are nothing more than authorizing a nuclear attack.

Requires people to choose to follow an out of the blue order.
