Has someone communicated the general mechanics of globalisation and the internet to your elected leader? History might have been written by the winners in the past but unless Trump achieves world domination (and I put my trust in Putin to stop him from doing so). The vast majority of the world sees him for what he is - he cannot erase the internet...
This letter just adds to him exposing himself for what he is.
Indeed. I'm actually thinking we should drop the impeachment proceedings and invoke the 25th Amendment on his ass!

Would you favour a Commander in Chief who sends you on a suicide mission just so that he can get "dirt on the Bidens"? There is a pretty high chance that members of the US military will end up as cannonfodder for some braindead plan by your "master schemers" Trump and Giuliani.
That already happened... just a few days after his inauguration.

Loosing your mind is some serious complication, I too pray that this won't happen to any more US presidents in my lifetime...

Unfortunately it is a cult of personality .... which is impervious to facts.

There is all sorts of checked and referenced data going back decades about him. Do you think his followers care? No, he is their Lord and Saviour.

And already some people are praying for Trump like this catholic priest... and others are correcting their prayers (e.g. first answer to this tweet):

Then they wonder why atheists and people in other religions are either scared by them or embarrassed by them.

I hate my congresscritter; but sadly, while most vets I know are sane, sensible people, one is really into twitler... which, the only reason I can think for why is he's nuts [certifibale,, actually nuts - and I can talk, because I'm certifiably nuts too, just in a different way].

Got this lengthy bit of WTF in my inbox today. This was a couple of hours before the impeachment vote. And, yes, the typo in the headline was in the email:

The Daily 1600 said:
America spoke. H0use Democrats never listened.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi
and House Democrats are about to go down in history. Their legacy will be sealed tonight with an unfair, hyper-partisan impeachment vote that is unprecedented for all the wrong reasons.
  • President Donald J. Trump committed no crime. House Democrats agree: Their Articles of Impeachment against him do not claim a single criminal violation. For the first time in history, a President will be impeached for solely political reasons.
  • Also for the first time ever, an American President will be impeached without any votes from the minority party. A couple Democrats may join in opposing it, too.
  • The Pelosi-Schiff blitz will go down as the fastest impeachment in U.S. history. Why the rush? Because public support has dropped steadily throughout the process. Most Americans are against it. Democrats can’t afford to let it continue.
If House Democrats are remembered for anything else, it will be their rank hypocrisy. Obvious political double standards tend to get lost in the moment—especially with a Democrat-friendly media helping the cause—but history judges them harshly.

During the Clinton impeachment, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY)—now chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee—warned that a partisan impeachment would be illegitimate. Such a ploy would “call into question the very legitimacy of our political institutions,” he said. He went so far as to lambast an impeachment attempt that didn’t have the “legitimacy of a national consensus” as a “partisan coup d’etat.”

The amazing irony, of course, is that the Clinton impeachment was bipartisan, with five Democrats voting in favor of 3 of the 4 articles introduced. The Pelosi-Schiff impeachment of President Trump, however, is only bipartisan in the opposition to it.

Americans have delivered their verdict. A new poll from Gallup finds that support for impeachment and removal has dropped 6 points. Other polls corroborate it: Recent ones from USA Today and Quinnipiac show that a majority of Americans oppose impeaching and removing President Trump from office.

At town halls across America, constituents are demanding that House Democrats stop with impeachment and focus on the real issues facing our country.

It should be obvious, and it is to everyone outside the Beltway Swamp: Americans are sick of Washington’s never-ending partisan circus. They’re tired of the excuses for obstructionism and inaction. They aren’t buying the phony, sanctimonious lip service to our Constitution and Founding Ideals from career politicians who never bother to defend either when it counts.

Americans know House Democrats will go silent the moment they’re confronted with the Swamp’s own corruption, whether it be from FBI officials who used false information to spy on the Trump campaign or from Democrats’ own family members who got rich off conflicts of interest in Ukraine.

Our citizens simply want their Government to work for them, not against them. Under President Trump, it finally is. The working-class boom is lifting wages for blue-collar workers, dropping the unemployment rate to a 50-year low, and slashing income inequality. On trade, this President renegotiated NAFTA and held China accountable for years of unfair and abusive practices that Washington ignored.

Beyond that, illegal immigration is down, crime rates are down, and American service members are finally coming home while our NATO allies step up and contribute their fair share to the Alliance.

But instead of listening to Americans and helping make Washington better, Democrats ignored them. The left sought impeachment from day one. They chased conspiracy theories to discredit the voices of 63 million Americans. They’ve called President Trump “illegitimate” and “not my President.” They’ve turned the most sacred power of Congress into a political weapon. They’ve made it clear democracy only counts if they win.

The message of the 2016 election was straightforward for anyone who listened: Put the American people first. Tonight, House Democrats will prove they never heard a word of it.

I've not yet read the letter, but the extracts discussed in this Vanity Fair article would certainly seem to make that case!

The 25th amendment can only be triggered by the vice president in conjunction with a minimum number of members of the government or majority of the congress, but either way the vice president has to be in it - so do you really think that Mike Pence would go against Trump?

Because this is a hard requirement you cannot get around to invoke this amendment, the vice president has to initiate it!

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Or in simpler terms put:

if (VP_SUPPORT = TRUE) AND (PO_SUPPORT = TRUE or CONGRESS_SUPPORT = TRUE) then INITIATE_PROCESS

Re-read what you just wrote the result of the process would be, and ask yourself the question again :D
Would Pence want to trigger the 25th amendment? It would put more of a spotlight on him and his own misdeeds.
