This entire Hannity interview just reminds me of meeting my Granduncle in his care home. He's just sitting there reading the newspaper talking to himself. 'The cricket yesterday was shit. You'd think the Aussies would know how to play after they beat the British with bats during the great war'.
There was no cricket the previous day. There was no great war. But heyho. Let him ramble. Because fuck it. The below is jokes.

This article suggests that the president of the United Stares—the man who controls the nuclear arsenal—may be suffering steroids-induced mania. And not one Republican has expressed concern about this.
Trump is always the ironic President. Remember before the first debate Trump accused Biden of performing enhancing drugs. Trump is taking steroids that is giving him a "boost" to his medical condition.
Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!
Barr has begun telling the Party of Trump that the Durham report won't be ready by the election. It looks like we'll go to the polls without knowing the truth about North Carolina.
"Har har. The Durham report is the 'bombshell' about all the 'spying' done by 'worst president ever' Obama. Didn't you just post that Trump is upset that Barr won't go forward, claiming that Barr has all the evidence he needs but Barr wants more?"
Yes. Barr has also vented frustrations about being singled out for blame when, as I'm just going to predict right now based on the evidence at hand, there isn't enough evidence to make a case. It's been four years. Unless Barr is waiting for Trunks to appear and hand itover, four years of no progress means no evidence.
Granted, this could be a smokescreen and then OMG PIZZAGATE II: THE TOPPINGS. But, um, a stupid high percent of Americans have already voted, most of them Democrat. And I find it pretty long odds Biden will prosecute himself while in office.Republicans had long hoped the report, led by U.S. Attorney John Durham, would be a bombshell containing revelations about what they allege were serious abuses by the Obama administration and intelligence community probing for connections between President Trump and Russia.
“This is the nightmare scenario. Essentially, the year and a half of arguably the number one issue for the Republican base is virtually meaningless if this doesn't happen before the election," a GOP congressional aide told Axios.
Barr has made clear that they should not expect any further indictments or a comprehensive report before Nov. 3, our sources say.
The Justice Department declined to comment. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
Barr is communicating that Durham is taking his investigation extremely seriously and is focused on winning prosecutions.
According to one of the sources briefed on the conversations Barr said Durham is working in a deliberate and calculated fashion, and they need to be patient.
The general sense of the talks, the source says, is that Durham is not preoccupied with completing his probe by a certain deadline for political purposes.
Translation for a GOP congressional aide: “There’s no real case, let alone evidence to support a case. The fact that we view the potential findings of this investigation as “meaningless” if the results are released post-election means that there is no contextual pursuit of justice, and we are pushing a bogus investigation into the Obama administration purely to score political gain.”
Well that’s the thing. They have even less ammo against Obama than they did with Clinton, and undecideds/independents have seen Trump’s snake oil sales pitch for what it is for the past four years. Nothing ever came of his promise of legal action against the Clintons despite having the DoJ literally acting as his personal legal hit squad. Barr’s floundering because he and Durham literally have nothing to work with and an increasingly demented orange gasping down their necks.

The measure stands virtually no chance of becoming law. https://t.co/oxRjaoHEga
Cmon Nancy! Stop doing this stupid shit. Yes it would get blocked but this could possibly backfire in a disastrous way. The both sides of a partisan Congress doing this against any President and that party getting backlash for really trying to take out a President.

I think even Biden just doesn't give a fuck about Pelosi. He basically ignores her advice at every turn.
She isn't creating anything new. It's all outlined in the 25th amendment:
the vice president, together with a "majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide", to declare the president "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office" in a written declaration.
I think she’s attempting to “seed” the notion of Trump being too sick to serve. But I agree it’s a bit of a dramatic step. Biden (and the Democratic Party) doesn’t need to be pitching flare or governmental upset at this point. He just needs to maintain the image of a level-headed, competent diplomat in stark contrast to the trump shitshow

Words to live by.
I read that as "Congress may establish a commission to determine whether the 25th should be invoked" not "Congress itself may choose to invoke the 25th".
The power of the Presidency is meant to be contained within the Executive Branch, not the Legislative. The 25th is meant to provide a means for the Executive Branch to check itself against failures of the President (the individual), so that the office of the Presidency can still be carried out effectively.
I view the 25th (well this provision, not the "President is in a coma" provision) as the Executive Branch version of the House calling a no-contest vote and electing a new speaker.
This is one of those things where I expect the Democrats would enact it, use it solely for removing people who are incapacitated for health reasons and actually unable to do the job of President, and the next time congress swings to the GOP with a Democrat in the white house, the GOP will call the President a Socialist, claim that Socialism is fundamentally incompatible with the ability to perform the duties of the President, and they would use it on the President, VP, and we would have their hand-picked Speaker of the House as the new President, electoral will of the people be damned.

They talked about this on CNN last night, and it didn't sound like that. But either way, it requires the Vice President to be on board, so it's a non-starter. But it does bring up the issue that needs to be talked about: Are these steroids and COVID side effects incapacitating Trump enough that he shouldn't be making decisions? He certainly sounds nutty in his interviews.
