"There are adults in the room."

You don't write a piece like that in US politics without having support and a plan if the POTUS moves against you.

Someone in Trump's inner circle is making a play to take out the Don.

And Vegas is taking odds.

My money is on Melania being the writer.

Not Melania cause no discernible accent.

Wasn't Tramp cause one third of the words weren't misspelled and "best president ever" was not used once.

Wasn't Pence cause didn't close with "in God we trust" and no bible references.

Wasn't Mattis, Kelly, or McMaster cause there were no expletives used in describing Tramp.

Wasn't Voss, Carson, or Mulvaney because they are too beholdin to Tramp for their high profile jobs and he pats them on the head too much for them to bite the hand that feeds them.

Wasn't Kushner or Ivanka cause they too beholden to Daddy.

Could have been Omarosa if she was still in the WH, but she's already spilled her beans.

Wasn't McDonald's in DC because most of their DC profits come from this White House.

I say it's the WH Head Chef. Probably pissed she/he's replaced by McD's for daily dinners. And when there is a formal function, she/he's forced to cook a well done steak AND SERVE IT WITH CATSUP! Also, a formal dessert is considered to be two scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Researchguy74 did the research. Dan Coats ftw, although he denied it a few hours ago.

Only other person who fits is Mike Pompeo.

This is not treasonous, as that would require aiding a foreign enemy. Mutiny (particularly if it is someone in the military) and/or Coup d'etat are not that far off.

For those interested in what would happen if 25th amendment is invoked, Trump would likely fight it, in which case it would go to congress and require a 2/3 vote in BOTH houses of congress. So, unless Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and the majority leadership are on board from the get go, nobody else would even think about this seriously. It also REQUIRES Mike Pence to be in on it, and Mike Pence is the only member of the White house that Trump can't fire.

Interestingly, it only requires half of the cabinet and the VP to invoke initially. Here is the text, the relevant stuff is under item 4.

Amendment 25 - Presidential Disability and Succession. Ratified 2/10/1967.

1. In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the
Vice President shall become President.

2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall
nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of
both Houses of Congress.

3. Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to
discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written
declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice
President as Acting President.

4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the
executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to
the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives
their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of
his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the
office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and
the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability
exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a
majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body
as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore
of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration
that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon
Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty eight hours for that purpose if
not in session. If the Congress, within twenty one days after receipt of the latter written
declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty one days after Congress is
required to assemble, determines by two thirds vote of both Houses that the President is
unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue
to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the
powers and duties of his office.

Pence didn't write it cause the use of lodestar is too obvious. Someone's tryin to frame Pence. Only way it could be Pence is if he's too dumb to realize he's the only person who's ever used "lodestar" in a sentence in the last ten years...hmmmmm, let me get back to you on that. Seems I haven't considered all my facts. MAGA!

Who ever it it is I hope we get rid of our Zsa-Zza Gabor like first lady who is utterly and completely useless.

I keep picturing the opening theme song of the "Green Acres' with Don the Con as Eddie Albert and Melannia as Zsa- Zsa Gabor singing the theme song.

Amazing, it keeps getting worse. Whoever wrote the op ed ought to quit. If the POTUS gives an order you follow it. If its illegal you do it or quit. It seems AG Sessions will separate kids from parents but refuses to investigate trumps enemy list. I guess if they followed trumps every wacky idea it would look bad. Or impeachment would start without the dems winning both houses. Republicans want the dems to take any heat if it comes to impeachment. Meanwhile they'll be guardrails to the lunatic in the WH. Disgusting.

Free Speech is enshrined into our constitution. It's not libel or slander if it is true. Right now there are several books that document the cluster fuck that is Don the Con's administration.

#1 Fire And Fury
#2 Unhinged
#3 FEAR: Trump in the White House

Seriously we have to vigilant and put country before party when we have a Narcissistic, Sadomasochist in charge of our economy, military, and standing on the world stage.

From the Mueller investigation and it's numerous indictments to the Manafort trial to the three documented books about the Trump Administration to the New York Times Annoymous Editorial Article about Trump Administration this is more than just smoke it is a three alarm fire in progress.

Sara Huckabee Sanders benefits by being a stooge for Don The Con. If we were in World War Two Poland she would be most likely to sell out her Jewish neighbors to the Gestapo.
