If the 25th amendment gets enacted, can Trump still issue pardons?

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

Updating the title by the hour as things get worse for Trump has never been more simultaneously depressing (for the sake of the nation) and refreshing.

Who is the 5th dead person? Please don't tell me it was the cop who was in critical condition.

The MAGA seditious riot incited by Trump is like Mussolini's march on Rome which led to a successful fascist coup in 1922. Mussolini's black shirt thugs were just like the MAGA traitors of today.

More Republicans are now freaking out and refusing to go through the medal detector.

Is there someone (media) showing this live?.
If so, where.

How does a Navy Seal trained on disinformation warfare fall for this?

Because "super-duper high-speed Navy SEAL trained in disinformation warfare"

translated into English:

some dude on a 6-month detail putting together powerpoint presentations for intel officers.

This. I guarantee the CIA officers he worked with were doing all of the real vetting of intelligence and he was more or less....there. Someone with this level of partisanship and disassociation from reality could never execute such a gig effectively on his own.

Don't buy this. Prior to Trump in particular the military has had a right-wing bias which colors intelligence-gathering. Freak Show like this may very well have been able to skate under the radar for years.

Plus, it's quite possible his descent into conspiracy theory Madness may have accelerated since he left the service.

Yeah, I agree completely on both points. The scariest part about the Trump cult is how many seemingly "normal", "respectable", or "intelligent" people it has sucked in.

Yea the average deplorable at the capitol insurrection wasn't some methhead living in a trailer park, it was a suburban real estate agent or a small business owner.

The fact the Republicans are not going to vote for impeachment is a scandal.

More Tea Party lunatics wanted to impeach Obama for being black, then want to impeach Trump for inciting a insurrection.

I am continually amazed at how these people seem to believe there are no consequences for stuff like this.

Florida (wo)man!

The MAGA cult committed a violent insurrection while listening to the Village People and Michael Jackson, that is a odd choice of music for the occasion.

May be time to demilitarize DC?

Yeah, at this point I'm good reducing the NG presence pretty dramatically. Maybe not all the way to zero, but there's no reason to keep DC in post-January 6th mode unless there's a specific threat.

I think it should be scaled back but still keep a sizable presence in the area.

Republicans attacked this country on January 6th, and until the threat of future Republican terrorism subsides, a military presence in DC should remain.

Why is the 'law and order' 'pro military' party being so hostile towards cops and the military?

Feds Track Down Capitol Rioter With Facial Recognition Hit On His Girlfriend’s Instagram.

Stephen Chase Randolph, federal authorities say, knocked over a U.S. Capitol Police officer manning the barriers at the building, “causing [Officer-1]’s head to hit the stairs behind her, resulting in a loss of consciousness.” He then “continued to assault two other USCP officers by physically pushing, shoving, grabbing, and generally resisting the officers and interfering with their official duties,” the federal officials said.

The Jan 6th insurrection was a historical continuation of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre
