Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
So are you saying that if they had been successful in taking the vice president and members of the house and senate as hostages that the market wouldn't have reacted? I'll take two of whatever it is you're having.
Sound like the movie "White House Down" with James Wood and the Vice President try to overtake the government.
@Crash, #25 and #14 take time to exercise and there is less than 14 days left. If he has the decency, he should just leave NOW just like Richard Nixon. Nixon was told he has lost all support and was about to be impeached and remove from office. He resigned the next day according the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in their book “The Final Days.”

Since the current president still has some support, I don't think it's possible to remove him by invoking the 14th or 25th amendements. Unfortunately, this man lacks a moral compass and will never resign for the good of the country.
That is a good one - moral compass! Trump never has one as his niece, Mary pointed out in her book. The only things he worships is money and power.
Pence does not want to invoked 25th amendment. Article of impeachment takes time for voting. But he has access to the nuclear arms and that can be very dangerous for the country.

And what does it tell us--- that, as you say, the Orange One still has support. The rot is not concentrated, it's widespread. The sort of "hardball," amoral politics we're seeing dates from the days of Gingrich the Newt. It's been a long time growing and spreading its toxicity.
The Presbyterian Church-USA has a rule book with a silly name: "The Book of Order." Sounds like something out of Monty Python. But in it, there is a savvy assertion made right from the start. It says that the whole interior system of the PC-USA cannot function without mutual trust and a spirit of goodwill. THAT is what's pretty much gone from the Repugnant Party today. Or maybe it's not just gone. Maybe it FLED.
