The Cops are heavily complicit in this coup attempt, they walked the nutters in because they know the Biden administration will reform them.
Especially as it looks the senate has gone blue with the Georgia results.

Had the Black lives protesters or similar attempted this they would have been gunned down on the steps of the capital building.

Domestic terrorism, insurrection, sedition. Any and all of these.

Section 4 of the 25th Amendment should be being actively discussed right now.

It only provides for the VP to take control if the president is unable to fulfil his duties, Trump is alive, Biden will be inaugurated soon. You don't half talk some bullshine Mr Ghost.

Ah I had no idea you were a constitutional expert.
Factually, the 25th amendment is being actively discussed by cabinet members - it requires the VP and the cabinet to agree that the President is incapacitated and the reports from inside the White House is that Trump has, to quote the reporting, "lost his mind".

Remind me who holds the nuclear codes and what damage can they do if like you they exist in an alternative reality. I guess you do not consider Trump’s mental state to be a reason for removing him from power.

I will remind you, and it isn't solely the president, Trump has clearly become a problem, but a25 does not allow a transfer of power other than to his vice president, that is fact.

I think 13 days of Pence is a lot safer than 13 days of Trump or do you disagree

I don't disagree, not given his actions in recent days, it was more the suggestion from Ghost that Biden could get sworn in sooner (which I may have mis interpreted as such). What worries me more is any days of Biden.
