A Bay Area congresswoman is calling for President Donald Trump to be removed from the presidency under a never-before-used constitutional provision.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, said on Tuesday that Trump should be removed from office with the 25th Amendment, following his latest comments blaming “many sides” for violence after white nationalist protests in Charlottesville, Va.
“POTUS is showing signs of erratic behavior and mental instability that place the country in grave danger,” Speier tweeted Tuesday night. “Time to invoke the 25th Amendment.”
Speier also quoted from Voltaire in a tweet: “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”

She was a survivor of the Jim Jones suicide?
The war was started the day soros created BLM.
With Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi leading the pack of those with mental instability and erratic behavior.
Jackie Spier, Maxine Watters and the rest of the Looney Left is in full attack mode. They disgust me.
She was the aide to Cong Leo Ryan who was shot and killed in Guyana in November 1978 .....she then ran for, and won, his seat in Congress.
Liz, thank you for posting the truth which is in short supply in this “Twilight Zone” of Liberal Insanity. My father, veteran of CBI during WWII and veteran of the Korean War must be rolling in his grave at the Liberal/terrorist insanity that permeates this country today which includes the insane MSM and GOP Elites.
That noise you hear is all the American heroes rolling in their graves in Arlington National Cemetery.
Let her prove the absurdity.
All these people and media hypes are borderline seditionists.
Thanks very much, Liz. BTTT!
This screeching from the harridans of the left is quite tiresome.
I am in no way speaking in political hyperbole when I say that I can honestly now directly see how the great purge under Stalin, the cultural revolution under Mao, and the killing fields under Pol Pot occurred and seemed normal to people at the time in their respective society.
I stand here and am stunned as I watch much of the country getting whipped into an absolute frenzy. We are coming dangerously close to the point where the left justifies wholesale violence and bloodshed in the belief that violence is morally warranted in the face of perceived racism.
In society and in pop culture it is of no consequence to take the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, or God Himself in utter blasphemous vain, but you dare not speak the n-word — ever! — out of some absolute social code to prove you are not a racist. It is absurd.
But we can see the Left ratcheting up the rhetoric and I fear violence will be soon be breached as the rhetoric begins to turn, slowly at first, toward the justification and appropriateness of violence in the face of anything, or anyone, perceived to be held as a racist, or if they are possibly a racist, or suspected racist.
Yep, this is how a great many people have been slaughtered once the group think takes an irrational but firm grip on society.
This is what seems to be playing out right now. I hope I am wrong.
LOL
Sir, you are absolutely correct.
Agreed - I would always read the Bible and wonder how people could be so stupid like the Israelites worshipping a golden bull when God had been RIGHT THERE.
Or how the crowd picked Barrabas over Jesus.
It’s frighteningly obvious now.
But more interesting (or scary - depending on how you look at it) is it comes from the intelligentsia of the populace. Every time! Hitler was an intellectual - Pol Pot was a teacher - both the Chinese and Russian revolutions occurred because of college students and academia. The zealots riled up the crowd.
One thing is for certain - America is no longer the land of the free.
Speier doesn’t understand the 25th Amendment.
If a president is going to be removed because of political disagreements, it would be easier to do by the impeachment process than by the many steps of the 25th.
Wow...thanks. I vividly remember that mass suicide. Stepfather used to deliver newspapers at the time. It was horrible that photo on the front page of all the dead.
Ryan was killed at the airport right?
She has been around since 1978? That is another major reason we are in the trouble we are in right now.
She hasn’t even read the 25th.
That said, the antifa alt-left is as bad as nazis and use nazi violence to the point that they are the true nazis
