1. Can I just?

[Zoonart]

2. seconded...

[Golden Raisin]

3. Rep. Swalwell has been one of the few voices

keeping me semi-sane during the ongoing Trump shitshow. He's intelligent, articulate, quietly forceful, speaks up when others remain silent and has a backbone. I suspect he's good Presidential timber.

5. What Golden Raisin said!

Same here.

[xxqqqzme]

20. Yes, I listen when he is on

and speaking out.

[cungar2000]

6. Yep and he's free of scandals

He'd appeal to the people who didn't vote for Hillary because she was saddled with fake scandals. He'd slaughter the Orange moron in debates and on an election.

16. I agree he'd make a formidable candidate. BUT...

Let us not forget that Hillary made mince meat out of Trumpf during the 2016 debates. A lot of good it did.

12. Couldn't agree more.

I like him more every time I see him. Smart, articulate, a spine...he's got the whole package.

[lostnfound]

15. Yep. Better and better. Nt

[cp]

4. Yup. Enablers.

[TwistOneUp]

7. Hear here! nt

8. Pretty much what David Frum said yesterday in his interview with Lawrence O'Donnell

Frum said it doesn't do us much good to learn this months and months later; that they should have quit in a group, told congressional committees, told the media. He asked what were they so afraid of: an angry tweet?

Eric Swallwell is absolutely right.

Edited to correct names

13. Almost sounds like rumors of the current Op-Ed were around before its release today

[FakeNoose]

9. Truth!

11. I am so jealous of California.

Thank you

10. John Kelly Reminds Me Of Alexander Haig

Maybe a military background is not suitable preparation for the position.

14. Op Ed is, imo, heading us all to 25th Amendment.

'Anonymous' HAS stepped up and spoken out.

Now, Congressmembers should sign on to Jamie Raskin's proposal re: implementing 25th Amendment.

17. The thing is, one person quitting & speaking out won't do any good.

Many have spoken out about Trump. It has done no good, except confirm what many in the public thought.

So one more sacrificial lamb? To what end? The Republicans in Congress are in cahoots w/Trump. So...now what?

Maybe if a group of officials stepped forward. Maybe. But it's also true that maybe they have told Congress the status of things, how bad it is, and that they are doing what they can, and that is what has given them the excuse for Congress not to act.

This is a nightmare. We are having a Constitutional crisis. The problem is that Congress is part of it.

18. Perfect.

[Midnight Writer]

19. He will be found out and fired. Step out and stand up. It is your best option.

Unless, of course, you are actually trying to drive our unstable genius President into even more deplorable insane actions. That is a very dangerous game for our country.
