Would you believe that “noted conservative blogger” Jennifer Rubin was selected by Salon as one of its “25 conservatives actually worth following on Twitter”? It’s true — and it wasn’t her pro-Trump stance that won her that accolade, either.
In her latest Washington Post column, Rubin goes all in on the “Trump’s gonna kill us all” bandwagon, calling the president “off his rocker.” We don’t know … the president looked awfully sane (and conservative) signing tax cuts into law not too long ago.
All we know is somebody is becoming unhinged:
What we have is a type of coup in which the great leader is disabled. He is propped up, sent out to read lines written by others and kept safely away from disastrous situations. This is not how our system works, however. https://t.co/R2c3C0DKJX

“Sent out to read lines written by others”? Do Obama’s speechwriters like Jon Favreau, Ben Rhodes, and Jon Lovett know about this scandal?
We’re playing with fire, counting on the ability of others to restrain him from, say, launching a nuclear war. We're pretending unelected staff can be the pres because the one we have is mentally incompetent. stop. https://t.co/R2c3C0DKJX

Noted conservative Laurence Tribe is partly on board (and has a book to sell):
Even assuming Trump is literally “unable” to execute his duties as POTUS within the meaning of the 25th Amendment Sec 4, what do we do with the reality that using the 25th Am to sideline POTUS now wd be even tougher than removing him for impeachable offenses post-Mueller? https://t.co/HmfbdUz8Nv

Ah, “use” the 25th Amendment to “sideline” the president elected by the people just in case the Mueller probe doesn’t lead to impeachment. It’s good to keep a backup fantasy in your pocket in case your first choice doesn’t materialize.
Maybe. Let me know what you think, @JRubinBlogger, once you’ve read my forthcoming book with @JoshuaMatz8: https://t.co/q7FOe9Xzos https://t.co/hO8GVnrW1S

I think it’s impeachment or wait until 2020

Does it ever occur to these people that Trump was duly elected to do a job and, by and large, is doing what he was elected to do? That tweet about the nuclear button wasn’t nearly as scary as the people on board with Rubin’s thinking:
Exactly. I've been saying it since election day. It was a bloodless coup. Though Russia helped grease the path, the GOP was complicit. https://t.co/5FbJeXTVQ5

I think this comes closer to what I think is going on. I'm a little more scared every day lately. https://t.co/eLFgLAyvgc

The yearlong nightmare of Putin's Puppet holding office represents an unending national scream. https://t.co/IvNlRPEIG5

Does Putin know his puppet is arming Ukraine against pro-Russian separatists?
Nope. We must wait for Mueller and NYAG. https://t.co/me6Paoztrr

Intellectualizing rarely make revolutions. The key is to get him the hell out of there ASAP. Now. Yesterday. He’s already spinning his way out of universal condemnation as a dolt. We’re reduced to gossip junkies. https://t.co/KiISSLAEvd
