25th Amendment, Donald Trump, social media, Twitter

In the U.S. Constitution:

Amendment XXV
[….]
Section 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.

The United States cannot have all Mail In Ballots. It will be the greatest Rigged Election in history. People grab them from mailboxes, print thousands of forgeries and “force” people to sign. Also, forge names. Some absentee OK, when necessary. Trying to use Covid for this Scam!

It’s just got to be that economic anxiety. Apparently they needed to enter a crowded pool to drink at a weekend party in a resort area so that they could feed their families or something.

On Monday:

Attorney General Schmitt Joins 18-State Letter Asking Congress to Investigate the Chinese Government’s Role in Pandemic
May 11, 2020, 15:32 PM by AG Schmitt

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, along with 17 other state Attorneys General, sent a letter calling on Congress to investigate the Chinese government’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic. Led by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, the letter was sent on Friday to the leadership of the House and Senate Foreign Relations Committees, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and other House and Senate leaders asking for a Congressional investigation.

“Last month, we became the first state to file suit against China, alleging that their inaction and suppression of information during critical days early in 2020 led to the spread of COVID-19 across the globe. Here in Missouri, the impact of the virus is clear: thousands have been sickened and hundreds have died, staggering unemployment claims have been filed, companies have been forced to close their doors, and loved ones are separated from each other,” said Attorney General Schmitt. “Congress should investigate the role that China’s Communist Party and government played in this pandemic.”

In April, Missouri became the first in the nation to file a lawsuit against the Communist authorities in China, citing a “campaign of deceit” on the part of the Chinese authorities related to the outbreak of the pandemic. In addition, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch announced her decision also to file a lawsuit holding China’s government accountable.

The current U.S. death toll from this coronavirus is nearly 80,000 and the pandemic’s economic devastation has caused the unemployment rate to skyrocket from 3.5 percent in February to its current rate of 14.7 percent.

“One of our colleagues has already filed suit against China and many of us are considering similar legal actions,” South Carolina Attorney General Wilson said. “Congressional hearings are critical to our nation’s understanding of the origins of COVID-19 and efforts by the communist Chinese government to deceive the international community.”

In addition to South Carolina and Missouri, the following states’ attorneys general signed onto the letter: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.

“…the pandemic’s economic devastation has caused the unemployment rate to skyrocket from 3.5 percent in February to its current rate of 14.7 percent…” But, but, the stock market.

Now, only if he’d investigate Donald Trump’s (r) role.

Today:

Governor Mike Parson @GovParsonMO
The @Missouri_NG has been preventing the spread of COVID-19 by conducting medical screenings at government facilities throughout the state, including the State Capitol. This afternoon, I took a moment to stop by the stations and thank our Citizen-Soldiers for their hard work.

1:14 PM · May 13, 2020

Meanwhile, the Governor of Missouri is doing his damnedest to undo their good work.

There was much hilarity in the responses:

You do support Trump 100%. He doesn’t wear a mask either. Thank you for being such a great role model for the Show Me State.

All guardsmen are helping protect you by wearing masks, but you can’t return the favor?

Where’s your mask…I mean leadership?

Still missing for both.

But not ALL, MO “State Government” buildings… right Boss Hog? So is this for show? Why aren’t all state buildings that have “Essential Staff” included? Just for the “important people”?

Where’s your mask?! So selfish

Wearing a mask = consideration and respect for others. Too bad you chose partisanship over respect.

First thing I thought when I saw the pics.
So, the partisanship is in place.
Not wearing a mask means you support 45 and are MAGA.
That’s it.
I’m wearing a mask.
#TrumpOwnsEveryDeath

why don’t you take a moment to put on a mask.

So you “thank” them by breathing on them? Terrible leadership and example during an epidemic. [….]

Masks are for the protection of others. Thank you @Missouri_NG for following guidelines.

Where is your mask? Please TRY to set an example.

@GovParsonMO is NOT 6 feet away from the service members in any of the pics he’s posted. He is NOT wearing a mask OR practicing social distancing.

No mask?

No mask.

WEAR A FREAKING MASK IF YOU WANT TO SHOW RESPECT. They did it for you.

Without a mask. You continue to be irresponsible and selfish.

Freedom has nothing to do with trying to save people around you from getting sick. It’s something you should do to be a good person because you don’t want others to get sick. It’s very simple. Bringing freedom into this isn’t comparable at all.

I think that, if you care about citizen soldiers and want show it, you would demonstrate care for their health by wearing a mask. I know that there is pressure not to do so, but to stop the spread of covid-19 we should wear masks, not a big sacrifice.

Put a mask on. You are selfish.

And, a pandering right wingnut tool.

So you’re a “do as I say not as I do” kind of governor. If we have to wear masks you have to as well. You are a lousy leader.

where’s your mask? who do you think you are, trump?

Wear. A. Mask.

WEAR A GODDAMN MASK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wear the mask.

Why aren’t you wearing a mask?

Why are you not wearing a mask? You are showing no respect for or consideration to the health of those around you.

Their masks protect YOU while YOUR mask protects THEM… wait… you weren’t wearing a mask… wtf is wrong with you?! Shameful!

Governor, the president and VP are both idiots for walking around with no mask-but they are also tested every day. Are you also tested every day, or are you just in the business of endangering others with your carelessness?

Gee, if only someone in the media could ask him those questions.

Why don’t you wear a mask for their sake & to show respect to them, since they clearly prefer them being worn?! I don’t understand the outlandish need to ignore science and medical expert recommendations even if it’s your personal preference.

Would it kill you to wear a mask? You are disgusting!

What about test? They offering testing? Huh huh huh… I didn’t think so … and again your ass isn’t wearing a mask! You are shameful. EVERYONE VOTE IN NOVEMBER LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!

WEAR A FUCKING MASK

You need to stop with your daily virtue signaling posts about re-engaging safely. Because here you are AGAIN not wearing a mask. Showing complete and total disregard and disrespect for the people around you.

Saundra McDowell (r) is running for governor.

Peak right wingnut:

Saundra McDowell @mcdowellformo
What do these two patriots have in common? The Deep State tried and failed to take them both down.

Justice needs to be served. If elected I will establish a task force to root out bad actors in Jefferson City and have the same team look into the ousting of our former Governor.

First, you’ve got to believe that the Jefferson City theatre guild will have a turf issue with this.

Second, pass the popcorn, this will almost make it worthwhile to cross over to the republican primary.
