I was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and still hold a US passport. My husband Tommy is Irish, and his opinion is that the US Constitution is the most important secular document on Earth. To cast it aside in any way is not just a crime against humanity, it is also to mock God to His face.

@@Greggsoldies That’s true too. We’ve been plagued in Wa for almost as long as you have! Not sure how to change that. Once they took power, about 40 years ago, they literally legalized every form of election fraud there is here! I don’t know anyone who votes for the current tyrants in power but, they keep “winning”! Go figure! Mail in ballots Jungle primary Ballot harvesting Dominion, ESSS machines with a weighted race feature Automatic voter registration when getting a drivers license…no ID/proof of citizenship necessary “Advocates” can vote for you if you’re homeless, don’t have to have an address to vote. They used the Seattle library for an address, for a while. Forced party registration (so they know where they need to insert ballots) And, the worst…they made it illegal to do a full forensic audit of the elections. We can’t even challenge the corrupt elections! We’re done! It’s disgusting!

When you have a situation where the ruling party acknowledges that their candidate is unfit to fulfill the role yet allows him to continue as president-reveals a significant disconnect and raises questions about political motives, governance, and accountability. Here’s an explanation of the logical inconsistencies and potential reasons for this disconnect: 1. Acknowledgment of Unfitness vs. Continued Leadership If a ruling party publicly or privately acknowledges that a president is mentally incapable of fulfilling their duties, but takes no steps to remove or replace them, it suggests a major contradiction in governance. Logically, if the individual cannot perform their role effectively, continuing to allow them to remain in power compromises the functioning of the government and the welfare of the country. The decision to retain such a leader despite concerns may suggest that the party is prioritizing other considerations, such as political optics, party unity, or maintaining control, over the actual well-being and capability of governance. 2. Political Stability vs. Practical Governance One potential reason for this disconnect could be a fear of political instability. Removing a sitting president-even if deemed unfit-could create a leadership vacuum, fuel divisions within the party, or weaken their standing with the public. The ruling party may be trying to avoid the perception of chaos or disarray by keeping the president in office despite reservations about his fitness. In such cases, the party may calculate that the appearance of continuity and stability is worth maintaining, even if the president is incapable. This would be a short-term strategy to preserve power, but it creates long-term governance risks. 3. Power Dynamics and Control Another explanation for this disconnect could be internal power dynamics. If the president is mentally incapable, they may be more susceptible to influence from key party members or advisors. This allows those behind the scenes to wield more control over decision-making without having to deal with the disruption of replacing the leader. The party may be reluctant to lose this control by installing a more capable leader who might be more independent or challenging to manage. Essentially, the continuation of the president’s tenure might reflect a desire to hold onto power through a "figurehead" leader rather than address the unfitness openly. 4. Public Perception and Political Costs The ruling party might be wary of the political fallout from admitting that the sitting president is unfit. Acknowledging mental incapacity could damage public trust, harm their credibility, and offer opportunities for opposition parties to capitalize on the perceived weakness. By allowing the president to continue in office, they can avoid public confrontation over the issue, even if it compromises effective governance. 5. Legal and Constitutional Barriers In some cases, the ruling party may be constrained by legal or constitutional requirements when it comes to removing a sitting president. Even if the party believes the president is mentally unfit, they may face hurdles in initiating a formal process (such as invoking the 25th Amendment in the U.S.) due to political divisions, lack of support, or fear of backlash. This could explain why a party might allow an incapacitated leader to remain in power despite acknowledging their unfitness. Conclusion The disconnect between recognizing a leader’s incapacity and allowing them to remain in power reflects a combination of political strategy, power dynamics, and concerns about stability. While logic would suggest that an unfit leader should be replaced for the good of the country, parties often prioritize maintaining control, avoiding internal conflict, or managing public perception, even if it means allowing ineffective leadership to continue.

Amazing, and Kammie does everything with JOY in her heart.

Separation of Powers is a "description" of how the 3 branches of government each have their own, unique function. The Legislative branch, Congress, writes the laws. The Executive branch, the President, enforces the laws. The Judicial branch, the Supreme Court, interprets the law. The idea was that no one person or branch would have complete power. The Constitution doesn't need to say "Separation of Powers" if you have enough brains to figure out that it is what having 3 separate branches with individual powers creates.
