’He’s mentally unstable’: Iranian American in Congress condemns Trump’s war and pushes for his removal

Democratic representative Yassamin Ansari says the war has only more deeply entrenched the Iranian regime

David Smith at The Guardian:

Donald Trump is an “evil human being” who “wants to be an emperor” and should be removed from office over the war in Iran, Yassamin Ansari, an Iranian American member of the US Congress, has told the Guardian. Ansari, the daughter of Iranian immigrants who decades ago fled the regime, spoke out after the president threatened to wipe out Iran’s civilisation before backing down and announcing an uncertain two-week ceasefire. As news of the truce broke on Tuesday night, Ansari said in a statement she was “momentarily relieved for the 90 million Iranians who just spent the worst 24 hours of their lives thinking they were about to face nothing short of a nuclear catastrophe”.

But the Arizona Democrat maintained that Trump’s dire promises of genocide and war crimes warrant intervention by the cabinet or Congress. Earlier on Tuesday, Ansari warned that the president represents a clear and present danger to Iran, the US and the world.

“There is no doubt in my mind he is mentally unstable and not all there but I also believe he is a deeply troubled, evil human being that only cares about himself and his family,” she said in a phone interview. “He has shown that throughout his entire life. He has shown that throughout his presidency by ripping away healthcare and basic necessities from the average American, while he and his family have made billions of dollars.” On the presidential campaign trail, Ansari noted, Trump promised an “America first” ideology that would keep the country out of bitter foreign entanglements such as those in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. Instead his second term has gone in the opposite direction, with the president launching military strikes on seven countries.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), an Iranian-American member of Congress, criticizes Trump’s foolish war with Iran and calls for his removal from office.

I’m hoping that we have another TACO Tuesday

I’m hoping military refuses to obey

I’m hoping the people’s anger is enough to get congress’s asses back in DC to invoke Article 2 Sec.4

I’m hoping for something, anything to be done.

If not…this may well be the end.

I can’t see any off ramp, any way to pull back. All the doors are shut.I don’t see any hope for this country or the world…and thats making me afraid.

I don’t want to give in to dispair…but what else is there to do?

Donald Trump Needs to Be Removed

He is becoming increasingly dangerous and unable to perform the duties of his office, requiring the invocation of the 25th Amendment

Steven Beschloss at America, America:

It’s useless to spotlight every crazy post spat out by Donald Trump. But his post yesterday—on Easter Sunday—struck me as reaching a new level of danger and derangement, requiring us to pause and unpack both what he threatened and the response it demands. Here’s what I said right after he posted on his Truth Social platform: Writing many hours later, my thinking has only grown more resolute. Let’s put aside for a moment the fact that this profane post was published on the morning of Easter Sunday. He is explicitly threatening to commit war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, attacks that will surely cause immeasurable suffering and growing casualties among the country’s civilian population of over 92 million. As the Geneva Convention defined in 1949, “Civilian objects shall not be the object of attack or of reprisals.” The International Criminal Court reiterated this in 1988: “Attacks must not be directed against civilian objects.”

[...] We have a constitutional mechanism for Trump’s removal. The 25th Amendment—pursued in the wake of the assassination of John F. Kennedy—was ratified on February 10, 1967. Nebraska was the first state to ratify the proposed amendment and Minnesota and Nevada were the 37th and 38th states to ratify, providing the necessary three-fourths threshold needed for it to become the the law of the land.

Successfully invoking the 25th requires the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet declaring that the president is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” Yes, Trump could (and surely would) reject this invocation, which is why the amendment sets out the role of Congress: Two-thirds of the members of the House and Senate would need to vote for his removal and the installation of the vice president as the acting president. I have no illusions that this can be quickly achieved, not with a feckless Republican-led Congress and cabinet that has decided it’s in their interests to kowtow to Donald J. Trump. But the evidence is exceedingly clear—beyond a question of partisan differences—that our nation (and the globe) faces increasingly grave danger by allowing this man to continue to control the levers of America’s awesome power. That means the responsibility resides not just with the Republicans but with every elected member of Congress—to speak up and demand the invocation of the 25th to remove Trump from power. One by one, step by step, a growing collective force can lead to this necessary change. Failing to do so makes them complicit with whatever horrors may come next.

Dementia Donnie is manifestly unfit to hold the office of “President.” It is time for him to be 25th’d out of it.
