New in PJ Media:
Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) has said what everyone is thinking: Joe Biden is not fit to be president of the United States, and it’s time for him to call a lid for good and retire to his taxpayer-funded walled Delaware beach house, where he can rail intemperately at aides to his heart’s content. Whether Tenney’s call will be heeded, however, is quite another matter.
Fox News reported about Tenney’s statement Thursday evening, in the wake of Joe’s disastrous performance in the role of an angry old man yelling about his unimpaired competence while mixing up the presidents of Egypt and Mexico and boasting about his memory while forgetting the name of the place where he got the rosary he said he wears in memory of his late son, Beau. At least this time he didn’t tell us that Beau was killed in Iraq, as he has so many times in the past.
Tenney, according to Fox, “is calling for the Cabinet to ‘explore’ the use of the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove President Biden from office, following Special Counsel Robert Hur’s ‘alarming’ report.” This is about as likely as Donald Trump picking Nancy Pelosi as his running mate, but nevertheless, yes, if we had a sane and honest administration, this would already be in the works.
The 25th Amendment states:
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.
Thus the entire process relies upon Kamala Harris and a number of the “principal officers of the executive departments” agreeing that Old Joe is in a perpetual sundown and needs to be put out to pasture. The problem is that all those people have been appointed by Old Joe, or the people who are running things in his name. They’re not going to turn against their principal patron, who is likely still railing, in full Captain Queeg style, about his peerless abilities.
Tenney, however, wasn’t just grandstanding. She even wrote a letter to the Biden regime’s Gestapo chief, Attorney General Merrick Garland, calling on him to turn on his master, the way Stalin’s chief enforcer, Lavrentiy Beria, turned on Uncle Joe in his last days. Tenney pointed out that “after concluding that President Biden knowingly and willfully removed, mishandled, and disclosed classified documents repeatedly over a period of decades, Mr. Hur nevertheless recommended that charges not be brought against him.” This was yet another manifestation of our two-tier “justice” system, but Tenney saw in it something even more ominous than that.
There is more. Read the rest here.

I wouldn’t call it a two-tier “justice” system. But as Hur pointed out trying Biden in court would be a waste of time and money. He would be declared incompetent and that would end it. But the charges on Trump are obviously politically motivated.

Republicans need to let it go.
First, if they get him out, Camel Toe is in charge. That harridan can burn the country down in a day.
Second of all, if he’s not running this year, the republicans will lose all of the votes of the dems who are committed to voting “for the lesser evil.”
They just need to let it go.
Keith O says
That’s pretty much the discussion that the missus and I had.
Add to the mix that Killary has stated that if those circumstances occurred, she would be more than happy to take on the VP role.
How long would it take for cameltoe to have a single veh accident or commit suicide by shooting herself 5 times in the back of the head????
OLD GUY says
Followed by M. Obama as the V.P. for Hillary. Although you could throw in Pretty boy Newsom.

I’d let the Dems sort out this mess
If they cut Biden loose, they currently have to accept Que Mala: Michelle Obama doesn’t seem to be interested, and the Black Female voter is the only section of the population the Dems solidly have left, and some, like the View hosts, have said that “we’re not interchangeable”.
Which leaves the question of whether their chances are better if Que Mala becomes POTUS before the elections, or, in case Biden manages to steal it again, after the elections? Would people be more likely to vote (D) if they get a taste of Que Mala in advance?
These are questions for the Dems to struggle w/

So what, Mr. Spencer? We would be exchanging a dime for a ten cents coin.
