The events of January 6, 2021 have shocked and stunned the nation and the world, and this author and blogger will comment on it once he has recovered from the emotional turmoil he experienced watching these events unfold!
But clearly, one conclusion is evident!
Donald Trump, the worst and most dangerous President in American history, MUST be removed NOW, not on Inauguration Day, two weeks from now!
He is a danger to American democracy, and to the national security of the United States!
So Vice President Mike Pence, who asserted himself today by calling in the National Guard to Washington, DC, over the objections of Donald Trump, must invoke the 25th Amendment, and serve as Acting President, taking away all authority from Donald Trump, and the Cabinet officers have a responsibility to work with Pence to put this into effect!
There is no time to waste, and the destiny of America puts the burden on Mike Pence!
Progressive Professor,
Just one comment. Haven’t you and other commentators finally realized since before the 2016 election until this very day that Donald J Trump has been and will continue to be a Major Subversive Asset of Vladimir Putin, He is being controlled by Putin either because of a significant financial hold or some major criminal act.
There’s a growing call for Mike Pence and members of Trump’s Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, contact Congressional leaders, and remove Trump from power. Immediately. And it appears those calls are being heard. Because word out of the White House is that Cabinet members are considering exactly that.

Pence’s policies are abominable, but he seems to be (especially in comparison with Donald) a calm, level-headed person… If he were to become acting President for the last 13 days or less of the present term, I would breathe a sigh of relief. I can live with that.
Trump should have been 25thed long before now.
Mick Mulvaney is one of several Trump officials who has resigned in the aftermath of this.
Trump put out a statement last night claiming he’s going to have an orderly transition. Too little, too late for that.
Reports are that Scrump was gleeful while he was watching his mob on TV.
Ronald P Patterson, I was and many others were well aware of Putin’s influence, but the right wing constantly ignored that, and promoted everything Trump has done! 🙁
Trump and his allies in Congress and the media are lying again, claiming that some people were disguised Antifa.
Facebook has suspended Trump’s account for the remainder of his term in office.
Good! About time they did so!
Mitch McTurtle’s wife has joined the list of people resigning.
Funny how the Republicans grow a spine after they get out. They should have shown some spine before leaving.
