MSNBC Commentator Calls For Trump’s Removal Under The 25th Amendment Over The Disinfectant Controversy

MSNBC commentator Mike Barnicle this week called for the removal of President Donald Trump under the 25th Amendment for his bizarre suggestion that disinfectants might be injected into patients to clean their blood in minutes.  Many of us criticized the President for the comments and found his later claim to have been speaking “sarcastically” to a reporter as clearly untrue. Trump later suspended further briefings, which have served as a critical avenue for information from task force members like Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx. Yet, despite my respect for Barnicle, it is important to be clear about what is a constitutional versus a political matter.  As I have previously written (here and here) and publicly discussed, the 25th Amendment was not designed and will not address this type of controversy.

Barnicle stated the view of many over the comments on the use of disinfectant, but suddenly took a constitutional turn:

“In a rational, political world, of which we are not part, we’re no longer a part of that, there is no longer a rational political world around us, I’ll tell you what might be on their minds: the 25th Amendment. Because yesterday, the president of the United States actually posed a threat to public safety, to the public safety of the citizens of this country … Those are the musings of a man who has spent a whole lot of his lifetime in a tanning bed. So, he’s been exposed to ultraviolet rays in order to look like he has a tan all the time. Those were the irrational rants of a man who, somewhere out there in this country, God forbid, some inherent of his, someone who follows him closely and adores him, and there are many people like that … will take a little sip of Clorox bleach today to ward off the potential of the virus, and they will die.”

There have been similar calls for over three years to use the 25th Amendment to address controversial statements and policies by the President.  Ironically, this type the amendment like a type of constitutional lysol that can be used wipe away a unduly elected but controversial president. That is not its function.

As I have previously written,Section 4 has, essentially, two avenues for dragging a president from the Oval Office. First, there is the mutiny option. A vice president and a majority of the Cabinet can agree that the president is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office” and notify Congress that the vice president intends to take over. If Vice President Pence could get eight Cabinet officers to sign a letter to that effect, he would immediately become the “Acting President.”  But if the president then declares to Congress that “no inability exists,” Trump could resume his powers. Pence and the rebellious Cabinet would then have to send another declaration within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House that says, more or less, don’t believe a word, he’s unfit. Once Congress had the second declaration, if not already in session, it would have 48 hours to assemble to debate the issue. It would then have 21 days to vote on the president’s fitness. To remove the president, two-thirds of both houses would have to agree. If Congress did not vote within 21 days, the president would get his power back.

In other words, the use of the 25th Amendment over this latest controversy would be unwarranted as it is unlikely.  The likelihood of removing Donald Trump under the 25th Amendment for this controversy is about as likely as his receiving an honorary medical degree.

  1. Trump is finished, and I’m sad to see him go out this way. Sure, the 25th won’t work, but there’s a good chance the GOP will lose TOTAL in November, including the senate, and kiss liberty goodbye. Pence has acquitted himself well, in a difficult spot, and he may at least prevent a Dem landslide if he topped the ticket. The ONLY chance is to get Trump to step down immediately! Buy him off, whatever.

      1. Better get to work, Squeekers. There’s always preppin’ to be done. It’s a way of life for folks like you.

        1. Anon @6:35p – Preppers ain’t so crazy now, eh? I bet Squeeky’s got a good stash of TP compared to your dwindling supply. 😉

          1. I have plenty of TP, honey, and I’m not a prepper. And I have masks, as well — masks of the right type — masks that provide good protection.

            Squeeker forgot about masks, she said. Poor baby. So much for preppin’.

            Anyway, it’s often what one least expects that gets one in the end. There’s only so much that one can do to prepare.

            And the average prepper is still pretty crazy, IMHO.

            1. Live and learn, but since I am quite content to stay at home, I don’t really need that many masks. I have a couple that I bought when I was painting something, and they are somewhere in all the hardware and tool stuff. And yes, I have plenty of paper goods. And a freezer full of meat. And other stuff. I am just chilling at home, Plenty of coffee and plenty of tea and tobacco. I sleep with a gun beside me in case Antifa or other Democrats decide to raid my fortress. I also need more liquor, so I may have to do a drive-thru liquor purchase to restock a few things. St. Brendans and Malibu Rum.

          2. Anonymous – I do not know how many of you follow Red Letter Media, however as of this morning Mike had the gun and liquor, while Jay had all all the TP and hand sanitizer.

      2. Biden won’t be the nominee. Dems know he is a mess. The Dem plans are in the works…gonna be quite a convention to watch.

  2. Polls Show Trump Taking Party Down

    Republicans were taken aback this past week by the results of a 17-state survey commissioned by the Republican National Committee. It found the president struggling in the Electoral College battlegrounds and likely to lose without signs of an economic rebound this fall, according to a party strategist outside the R.N.C. who is familiar with the poll’s results.

    The Trump campaign’s own surveys have also shown an erosion of support, according to four people familiar with the data, as the coronavirus remains the No. 1 issue worrying voters.

    Polling this early is, of course, not determinative: In 2016 Hillary Clinton also enjoyed a wide advantage in many states well before November.

    Yet Mr. Trump’s best hope to win a state he lost in 2016, Minnesota, also seems increasingly challenging. A Democratic survey taken by Senator Tina Smith showed the president trailing by 10 percentage points there, according to a Democratic strategist who viewed the poll.

    The private data of the two parties is largely mirrored by public surveys. Just last week, three Pennsylvania polls and two Michigan surveys were released showing Mr. Trump losing outside the margin of error. And a pair of Florida polls were released that showed Mr. Biden enjoying a slim advantage in a state that is all but essential for Republicans to retain the presidency.

    To some in the party, this feels all too similar to the last time they held the White House.

    1. Seth — the polls also showed Hillary Clinton winning in a landslide. Carry on.

    2. Actually Seth here’s a question for you….which scenario is more likely to happen over the next several months: 1. the economy begins to rebound, things start returning to a new normal, Trump’s numbers rebound as he wins back the support he may have lost during this crisis…..OR….2. that Joe Biden’s current support begins to erode and then keeps on eroding month after month b/c the more he is seen and heard in interviews, the worse he does and the more voters he loses…..?

      Exactly.

    1. Trump’s Tweets will provide historians with a daily timeline charting his irrational state.

  4. > In other words, the use of the 25th Amendment over this latest controversy would be unwarranted as it is unlikely.

    Turley wrote nothing that shows it’s unwarranted.

    1. The accuser is particularly flakie and erratic in her statements. She may be telling the truth or not but given that it is also not in character with any other accusations against Biden, serious judges of the situation would have to discount it.

      Ford’s accusation against Kavanaugh were totally in character with his other behavior at that time. Was he a serious rapist? No, he was a drunk a..hole who was also a bully. His erratic behavior at the hearings, including his obvious lies about his loutish youth, was more disqualifying than anything he tried to do to Ford.

    2. Absurd, tell why Tara Reade is so compelling. And explain why Me Too lawyers are so leery of repping her.

      At this point many Democrats would be fine with Andrew Cuomo as nominee. So if Reade ‘was’ solidly credible, it wouldn’t be too late to deny Biden the nomination. But only sour apple Trumpers care about Reade.

      1. Seth – rest assured that when and if the powers that be decide to take out Biden, they will. And Tara Reade will be “seen and heard”…..watch.

        1. Anonymous, Tara Reade will surely be seen on Fox News. She’s their Hail Mary pass at this point.

  7. We Knew From The Outset..

    Trump Was Out Of His Mind

    Trump’s first days in office became a frightening preview of the insanity to come.  The new president kept insisting crowds at his inauguration were much greater than reported.  This led to a days-long national argument in which Trump supporters tenaciously defended their new leader.

    That first Monday in office Trump hosted a dinner for the Majority and Minority leaders of Congress: McConnell, Ryan, Schumer and Pelosi.  The purpose of said dinner was to discuss Congressional priorities.  Russian interference was already a front page story and there was speculation it would be a topic at the dinner.

    Instead of addressing Russian interference, Trump claimed, without a shred of evidence, that Hillary Clinton’s Popular Vote victory was the result of ballot stuffing by ‘illegal aliens’.  Trump therefore demanded a bipartisan commission be formed to investigate illegal voting.

    In a normal America Trump’s assertion of illegal voting should have ended his presidency right then and there.  No proof existed that Clinton’s Popular Vote victory represented ‘illegal votes’.  It was a false assertion out of the blue.  Schumer and Pelosi should have promptly walked out.  But they were too polite.

    So instead Schumer and Pelosi allowed a sham commission to be formed.  The investigation went nowhere fast; lacking any hard evidence.  The real story was Russian interference which Trump kept dismissing as ‘fake news’.  Yet Trump’s entire cabinet acknowledged that Russian interference was based on real Intelligence.

    So America had this bizarre situation, in the earliest days of Trump’s presidency, where he kept claiming vote fraud by illegals while denying Russian interference.  Any objective observer could have seen, at that early stage, Trump was irrational and unfit for office.  Yet no one in power had the honesty to say out loud what everyone was thinking: “The new president was nuts!”

    Historians will look back on this presidency with total confoundment. “How is it”, they will ask, “that a lunatic was able to continue in office while behaving irrationally every single day?”  Historians will chart timelines noting the hundreds of warning signs.  Yet somehow a maniac maintained a lock on power; enabled by Republicans and rightwing media.

    The Covid-19 pandemic would have been a disaster under ‘any’ president.  Even with national unity and the most capable of leaders, this crisis would have been a huge challenge.  But to enter a crisis like this with an irrational buffoon as president is possibly the gravest situation America has ever faced.  

    1. We Knew From The Outset..Trump Was Out Of His Mind

      You’re getting almost as amusing as Natacha.

      1. I thought the same thing. Natacha is a trip. So is Seth. My favorite laugh out loud line was this one: “Schumer and Pelosi should have promptly walked out. But they were too polite.”

        Pelosi and Schumer? They were too polite??

        Bahahahahahahaha….omg…stop….

        1. Seth — Schumer and Pelosi are a lot of things….but “too polite” ain’t one of them.

      2. Absurd, pretends we all imagined this lunacy. In reality Trump has been a rock of stability. But only consumers of rightwing media can discern the truth.

    2. The entire country has known for years that Trump is an infantile a..hole and nothing he did from Jan 20, 2017 has shown anything else. Those who thought he would somehow make a good president are seriously confused, to be charitable.

      The tragedy is that the peculiarities of his winning the GOP nomination and then being given the Presidency he didn’t earn was that he owed no one anything and if of actual and serious populist bent could have sought real non-partisan reform and might have become a really popular folk hero, instead of the 40% cult figure he has been. He lacked the imagination and is too lazy.

      1. bythebook —

        Trump is many things, but “too lazy” is not one of them. Neither is “lacking imagination.”

        1. Trump ain’t lazy when it comes to coloring his hair. That bi-weekly project requires him to sit around with towel on his head (while watching Fox News, of course).

          1. Yeah well Trump looks pretty good. Compare how he looks to how Hidin Biden looks. No comparison. Biden looks OLD. Age spots all over his face, crazy squinting eyes. Wonder how long it takes Hidin Biden to get his hair plugs put in?

            1. PS and if you don’t think Biden has hair plugs, go back and watch some videos of him in the 90’s. He’s got the male pattern baldness ring of hair, clearly going bald on top. Plus Biden has had a lot of ‘work’ done on his face. Obviously.

  8. Whenever I hear the word “disinfectant”…I immediately search for Lysol, and hypodermic needles.
    Doesn’t everybody?

    1. Truth pretends everyone is sensible. If that were the case, consumer products would require ‘no’ warning labels. An entire segment of the legal profession would have no need to exist.

      One can only conclude that Truth is anything but.

  9. quite frankly, I do not understand why you give any credence to the nutcase barnacle (crude that sticks to the bottom of a boat.) however, my main objection to your comments surrounds the “outlandish” premise that the president “encouraged” people to shoot up with disinfectants. HE DID NO SUCH THING. may I refer you to Rush Limbaugh’s article on April 24, 2020 titled “Trump didn’t tell people to drink Drano or inject themselves.” It’s accurate reading of what happened at one of those inane fauci/berk “events.” The President was asking another member of “the team” some questions. Anyway, I think you missed the boat in your non-25th amendment discussion since your premise was totally wrong. I add that it is time for people to recognize that fauci and berk have been on the wrong track since the beginning of the virus issue. if they like to use model, send them home to make a train model for their grandchildren, if any. best regards.

  11. This is weird. If true, Twitter and youtube have removed the account and the video of the company inserting UV light inside the body:
    —————–
    Twitter has suspended the account of a Colorado biotech company which is working with Cedars-Sinai to test and develop a potential coronavirus treatment using UV light inserted into the lungs – the same week as Homeland Security’s head of Science and Technology, Bill Bryan, suggested that UV light could have a significant affect on viruses such as COVID-19.

    The suspension of Aytu BioScience’s account comes shortly after YouTube removed a video demonstrating the technology (which can be seen below on Vimeo).

    1. All the slippage at Twitter is in one direction. Funny thing about that.

      The social media companies should be told they can be common carriers or they can be publishers, choose your poison.

    2. Why scrub the info? Because, once again, President Trump was right! And they cannot let that stand. Time to Censor! Scrub it!!

    3. Squeaky, thank you for posting this!

      On Friday I saw that light video here, on these threads. And I read the so-called ‘press release’. The press release kept mentioning Cedars-Sanai Hospital. But nowhere did that press release say ‘where’ Cedars-Sanai is. Which struck me as very odd!

      The most prominent hospital in L.A. is Cedars-Sanai. It stands on the border of Beverly Hills. Said hospital is often mentioned as the place of death in the obituaries of Hollywood stars. So it was very puzzling that that press release never specified which Cedars-Sanai they were talking about. And I commented Olly that something wasnt right.

    1. Libs are making Fauci a hero. Dr. Fauc’s “model” was outrageously wrong. Fauci flubbed the model that had numbers way over blown. Fauci’s CDC flubbed the testing rollout. Fauci messed up big time, yet the Dems and their Hollywood idiot mouthpieces are making the Hillary-loving Fauci a hero. But of course they are.

      1. the word “hero” has lost all meaning; so anon you are a hero for writing the truth–keep it up!

      2. Anonymous, feel free to show your proof. And if you claim to be a medical professional, give us a hint of what you actually do. And ‘why’ you’re more credible than Dr Fauci.

        1. Will do, Seth. Here’s some “proof” for you. Have you seen the petition circulating to make Dr. Anthony Fauci People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive? Perhaps you’ve already signed your name to it?

        2. Seth — seek out your own proof….take a look at Dr. Fauci’s “model” and then take a look at actual data being collected by ER docs in the field. Look at the way cause of death is being recorded to artificially inflate covid-19 numbers. Look at the way the CDC/Fauci was flat out wrong about covid-19 until March! Look at the way the CDC testing rollout was botched. But yes, lefties and Hollywood says we should “idolize” Dr. Anthony Fauci.

        3. “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) failed to follow appropriate manufacturing procedures while developing the United States’ coronavirus test, resulting in contamination that delayed making tests available nationwide, according to an investigation by the Washington Post’s David Willman.

          News of the mishap comes as states are grappling with how and when to reopen their economies. That can’t be done safely until widespread testing is available, and experts say the US is woefully behind.

          The CDC violated its own standards when developing the testing kits in a lab that was also working with synthetic coronavirus material, the Post reported. This led to contamination of one of the components used in the tests, which is believed to have caused false positives in the first batch of tests. The CDC took more than a month to correct the issue, hindering efforts to limit the early spread of the coronavirus in the US.

          Federal officials told the Post the Department of Health and Human Services is investigating the development of the original kits, which was first flagged in January when 24 of 26 test kits sent out to public health departments showed false positives.

          The error — and the delay in fixing it — likely contributed to a delay in testing that allowed the virus to spread undetected……”

        4. Seth: Anthony Fauci sent Secretary Hillary Clinton a love letter fan emails through her aides Cheryl Mills and Lois Quam. Here is what “Tony” wrote —>>

          June 2, 2012

          Cheryl/Lois:

          Wow! Very rarely does a speech bring me to tears, but this one did it.  Talk about telling it like it is.  This was a bases-loaded home run.  Please tell the Secretary that I love her more than ever you guys too, of course.

          Best regards, 

          Tony

          He sent another email to Hillary after she testified on Benghazi. In that email he wrote:

          “…she hit it right out of the park. Please tell her that we love her and are very proud to know her.”

          Regards,

          Tony

          1. Anonymous that’s peculiar! I wonder why Trump didnt seize on that letter to Hillary as reason to sh*t can Fauci. One presumes Trump would.

            Your grievances with Fauci give us no idea why you’re more credible.

              1. Anon honey,

                Link to the actual emails on Wikileaks website, if you really want to present “the facts.”

              2. Anon @ 8 would seem to prefer the “grab ’em by the pussy” guy in the WH.

                1. Anon @8:57pm – that is correct. You prefer the lying, woman-fondling, hair-sniffing, segregationist loving, doddering, old, demented plagiarist, rapist, corrupt career politician with a crack-head son paid off by China? Good lord.

            2. “The error — and the delay in fixing it — likely contributed to a delay in testing that allowed the virus to spread undetected……”

              Dr. Anthony Fauci, got some ‘splainin’ to do….that is, if the buck stops with you….

  13. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) on Sunday encouraged MSNBC viewers to “follow their gut” instead of listening to health care experts when it comes to the Wuhan coronavirus.

    “I would push back and, no matter what these decisions, and these other folks on these task force that are being put together,” Tlaib said. “Your gut feeling, follow that. It probably is much more credible than what you might be seeing coming out of various administrations.”

    Where’s the outrage? Where was the pushback on MSNBC?

    I work from early in the morning until late at night, haven’t left the White House in many months (except to launch Hospital Ship Comfort) in order to take care of Trade Deals, Military Rebuilding etc., and then I read a phony story in the failing @nytimes about my work…..

    Trump appeared at a campaign rally on March 2, 2020 in North Carolina. He played golf on March 8th. It hasn’t even been two months that he’s been holed up at the WH (with the exception of the events listed above in his tweet). But according to him, he hasn’t “left the White House in many months.”

    “Many months.”

    Poor Donald. What a self-absorbed baby. Can’t take the heat? Then he should get out of the White House and let an adult run the country.

    There are many people who wouldn’t mind being “holed up” in a place like the White House — even for a couple of months.

    People are dying and Trump’s whining.

      Yeah, like Michelle Obama who regularly “whined” about how hard life was in her “very nice prison” called the White House.

      Or how Michelle O. “whined” about how hard it was to not be able to “roll down her car windows.”

      Or when the ingrate Michelle O. commented during an interview that there are places she would like to travel to “again” now that she is out of the White House, but, as she put it, she would like to go back and be able to “walk in the front door this time.”

      Yes let’s talk about “whining” and “complaining” by taking a hard look at Michelle Obama. You know, the person the media has NO interest in critically reporting on….

      1. This has absolutely nothing to do with Michelle Obama. Try living in the here and now.

        1. Anon @3:22p — sorry, but you cannot mention “whining” and “being holed up in the White House” and NOT bring up Michelle Obama. All she did was whine about how “hard” it all was for her.

          1. “All she did was whine about how “hard” it all was for her.”

            Said by someone who was obviously paying way too much attention to Michelle Obama, because…

            1. Because….all she did was “whine” and “complain” about how “hard” it all was for her to “endure” being criticized as First Lady while living in a very nice “prison” she called the White House…..

              That is also called being an ingratious whiner aka MichellO.

              1. While you’re fixated (for unstated reasons) on Michelle Obama, most people have more important things to do and say. But hey, carry on. And by the by, “ingratious” isn’t a word, but it would work for someone who probably calls MO an “ingrate.”

                People are dying and MO is the focus of the loon @ 6:01.

                1. And you, Anon @6:43pm, continue to add your comments here, in defense of MichellO (for unstated reasons) – which makes you an ingratious whiner as well. 🙂
