In an over-the-top chapter of political theater, on Tuesday, Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) rolled out a 10-page bill to create a wild 17-member commission to figure out if Donald Trump is mentally unfitāa group so exclusive it combines vice presidents, secretaries of defense, treasury, attorneys general, surgeons general, and yes, a physician or high-ranking chair still TBD. Over 50 Democrats RSVPād for this White House approval committee, spawning post-Iran twitters threatening ācivilizationās destruction,ā and sparking a spicy insult frenzy with White House spokesperson Davis Ingle calling Raskin 'lightweight' while defending Trump's historic energy and sharpness. But guess what? Trumpās VP loyalist, Vance, holds the key to actual booting, making this grand plan as likely as Congress doing yoga on Broadway without spilling coffee.
