The former Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan has added his name to growing calls for the president to be ousted on grounds that he is unfit for the job, arguing that the US constitution’s 25th amendment addressing involuntary removal from office was “written with Donald Trump in mind”.

Brennan, who served as head of the spy agency during Barack Obama’s presidency, told MS Now on Saturday that Trump’s recent volatile remarks about destroying Iranian civilization and the danger he posed to so many lives merited his removal from the Oval Office.

“This person is clearly unhinged,” he said. “I think the 25th amendment was written with Donald Trump in mind.”

Brennan added that Trump was too much of a liability to be allowed to continue to be commander in chief. He had immense firepower at his disposal, including the US nuclear arsenal.

Ah, or maybe it's the hyper capitalist practice of funneling all money known to human kind into three senile men and four boys that never grew up? Amid the miniscule democracy index and fentanyl fueled rampaging citizen rape feast bonanza who knows really but maybe maybe it's the hypercapitalism. It could be the justice system or it could be the hypercapitalism that enables corporate demonic entities to impel lawyers to lobby new laws that fleece the poor 99% i mean we just cannot know if that is the problem or if it is only the justice system
