Kaitlan Collins: "Mr. President, what would you say to sex abuse survivors of Epstein who haven’t seen justice”
Donald Trump: “You know, I’ve never seen you smile”
Man, that's creepy.
I wonder how many teenage girls head that after they were raped at Epstein Island?

Trump claimed in an interview with the New York Post that Venezuela failed to get their AAA rockets off the ground during the U.S.'s raid as the US used a "discombobulator" on them.
Um. . .sure.
In a bit of a defense for the deranged prince, what the military probably was referring to was an electronic jamming system. While no doubt the most recent variants are quite advanced, such systems have been around for a very long time.
Trump's incredibly racist post depicting the Obama's as apes was taken down and blamed on a staffer.
Um. . . sure.
Trump is also claiming that the US has wanted a triumphal arch for 200 years, with is complete nonsense and which is only slightly less weird than his claim that Presidents have wanted the giant outhouse he hopes to build for 100 years.

Loss of inhibitions can be a sign of dementia.
This is definitely a "get off my lawn" moment.
February 10, 2026
Trump is clearly unhinged.
A spoiled brat and a real estate developer by trade, he sees the world through a pinhole. His mind is turning to much. He needs to be removed.

I flew to Iraq. I was extremely brave. I said to my people, 'Am I allowed to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor?'…Someday I'm going to try. I'm going to test the law

Greenland has universal health care.
Greenland is presently taking care of a U.S sailor evacuated from a U.S. submarine. . . by a Danish Seahawk helicopter.
Trump is completely delusional. He should be removed.
Greenland doesn't need this, and moreover, Greenland's universal healthcare is something Americans lack. If anything, Denmark should send a hospital ship to us.
This is patently absurd. Frankly, at this point, anyone supporting Trump is not doing so out of faith in him, unless they're just willfully ignorant. So outside of that, why on Earth is anyone not demanding that he be removed?
The Supreme Court ruling eliminates the 10% baseline tariff, the drug trafficking tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, and the 145% effective rate on most Chinese goods.
Pretty predictable.
Trump of course is having a petty fit, running around calling people names, and the like.
Truth be known, while this is the right decision, and it is a blow to Trump, it probably saves him from being blamed for a tariff caused disaster.
U.S. Representative William Stiles Bennet (R-New York), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, introduced a resolution proposing that the United States annex Canada, after unsuccessfully opposing the reciprocal trade agreement with the country.
He was a sore loser.
The proposal had no chance of passage but rightfully angered Canadians, who had kicked American a** twice in prior armed attempts to annex it.
The resolution failed 9 to 1. Today Republicans would show dronish servitude to King Donny the Mad and vote to approve it.
Life magazine issued its "Socialist Number"
The illustration was by William Balfour Ker, and quite striking. The choice was intentional as Ker, who generally did illustrations, including for Life, was a dedicated Socialist, and one who lived an unconventional lifestyle as was common for radicals of the period.
What's more, Trump is insane and everyone knows it. World leaders know it. His opponents know it. And, moreover, his supporters, know it.
He's driving us over a cliff, and everyone knows that.
He's the last pathetic gasp of the Baby Boomers, as we endure a nation by the Baby Boomers, Of the Baby Boomers, and for the Baby Boomers, enduring the legacy of a government attacked by Ronald Reagan and brought into fruition by Dixiecrats.
I've predicted that the 25th Amendment would be applied to him, and moreover, his mere presence in the White House was really a smokescreen for National Conservatives. If I was right, the moment now appears too late.
The United States has come to an end as a great nation.
It might be able to rebuild, but it won't be what it was. Nore should it be. A nation stupid enough to elect Donald Trump is no longer great.
The question is, how much damage do we allow him to do?
And I say "we" advisedly. Stuffed suits like Dr. John Barrasso and castrati Mike Johnson aren't going to do anything. His cabinet has people like scared Scott Bessent in it, who sound like they're terrified to be in public, or people who cheerfully shovel his oratorical vomit. Congress could act, but the make up the GOP in Congress is 100% eunuchs who roll over to have their bellies petted by Trump or go into the corner scared and pee.
The nation's leaders have completely failed it.
The question is not, at this point, how can this be salvaged. It cannot. The question is how much can be saved so that there's something to rebuild from when we reemerge in 2028 as a minor power, second rate nation, despised by the world.
The only thing, and it is the only thing, than can really save the nation now is mass protests. An epic strike that shut the nation down completely would be something the Republicans could not ignore.
We don't even seem to have the guts for that, however. We haven't seen anything like that since the 1960s and early 1970s.
We aren't much of a people anymore.
Ironically, however, the wet dream of Donald Trump to be remembered as somebody, darned near anybody, will also fail. He'll be remembered for being a fat, spoiled, mentally ill, child who ruined his nation with the help of ignorance. His ballroom will not get built. His Arc will not either. Greenland, which he will steal, will be set free. Melania will escape back to Europe to hide the disgrace of having associated with the man. The Trump family will bankruptcy itself into oblivion.
Cont:
Okay, something's happened.
Trump at Dovos said the United States “won’t use force” to take Greenland, but repeated his dumbass claims that the US needs it for national and international security. He said he would be “appreciative” if the world acquiesced to his desire to take over the territory. “Or, you can say no and we will remember.”
What does all that mean.
Sometime over the last 24 hours somebody got to Trump with news that if he went any further, they were invoking the 25th Amendment. It's about the only possibility.
The others might be that Congress would really move to impeach, or the military was prepared to tell him to pound sand.
But something happened. He was full batshit crazy over Greenland as of yesterday, and now he's not. He was apparently actually set to over a bridge too far and something held him back, for now.
The man needs to go. This is a chance for national redemption, but it won't last long. Those who were set to invoke the 25th, if they were, need to carry forward and do it.
Cont:
Hmmmm. . . Air Force One returned and landed due to an "electrical issue" prior to his gong to Davos.
That "electrical issue" was probably a direct communication that if he went to Davos and indicated war was coming he better stay in Switzerland.
Cont:
And I know so many people from Switzerland. Incredible place, incredible brilliant place. But I then realized that they're only good because of us.
The dimwitted emperor.
We barely dodged a bullet with this guy, remove the idiot now. Apply the 25th Amendment.
January 22, 2026
Trump at Davos:
Usually they say, 'he's a horrible dictator-type person.' But sometimes you need a dictator.
So are we really still playing around with this? Trump admits he's a dictator, and its obvious to everyone he's demented. There's no excuse left whatsoever for favoring this man remaining in office.
Let's reprise where we are, after the last several days.
Let's start off with this.
Ever since Congress demanded the Epstein files be released, most of which have not been, nearly every day brings a new horror. We started off with an invasion of a foreign power and removal of its head of state with no Congressional authorization, which is flatly illegal. In spite of the widely lauded praise for that, the raid only removed one man and his wife, while killing a bunch of people. The Socialist regime that man headed remains fully in power. Some may say its cooperating with Trump, but why would one criminal regime not cooperate with another if it benefits them both?
We were told at the time that we needed to do this as Venezuela was exporting drugs to the U.S. As soon as we kidnapped the leader, however, we were told that it was a great oil producing opportunity for the United States, and we are in fact seizing tankers and selling the oil, with the funds put in a bank in Qatar, outside those prying eyes in the U.S.
No sooner had that been accomplished than Donald Trump brought us right to the end of war with NATO, believing his own propaganda that the rest of the world would sit by if we seized Greenland, just as Germany thought nobody would fight over Poland in 1939, and Argentina thought the UK wouldn't fight over the Falklands in 1982. Indeed, the Falklands example is a particularly good one as the UK was actually moving toward an arrangement with Argentina before Argentina invaded, which ended that for all time.
While this was all going on, an ICE agent shot Renee Good three times killing her in Minneapolis. The mayor spoke out and now the mayor and the Governor are under Federal Criminal investigation by a corrupted justice system. Career Federal prosecutors are being fired, and even one of Trump's handpicked flunkies had walked out, although not over that.
Trump decided to go to Davos to lecture the Europeans, but as soon as his plane took off it returned with an "electrical problem".
Uh huh.
When he got to Davos suddenly he was no longer going to invade Greenland, but he was sticking to tariffs. . . until he suddenly didn't.
What message did the would be caudillo get when that plan returned.
There's a lot here to digest, but what we know is that Trump's actions do not benefit the United States and, as Mark Carney has stated, he's destroyed the post war order. The principal beneficiary of his actions is Russia, and nearly Russia alone The Russians may have pulled off the greatest example of spycraft of all time, but assisted by an American electorate that was made legitimately bitter by post 1973 events and made ignorant by actions of the much praised Ronald Reagan.
Reagan, to medical professionals, was showing signs of Alzheimer's in his second term. He was 83, however, and out of office when he admitted it to the public. His last public appearance, however, was in 1994, a couple of years after that, which is one that people who have viewed it lament. His appearance at that point in time wasn't any worse than Trump's right now.
Trump's behavior in the last two months has been nearly manic. Oh, let's be honest. It is manic. He very clearly, no matter what else is going on, has dementia. There's no question whatsoever. One person who knows him well, lawyer Ty Cobb, has stated:
I think there’s been a significant decline. He’s always been driven by narcissism. But I think the dementia and the cognitive decline are, you know, palpable, as do many experts, including many physicians.
Cobb also stated:
I don’t think there’s anybody outside of the United States who believes that Trump is sane.
So that's exactly where we are. We have a demented chief executive whose minions are not releasing a major file which his name shows up in, in violation of the law. His mind is complete mush and he launched us into one small war with little effect and nothing to be proud of, and nearly launched us into a major war with NATO which, in spite of our hubris, we may very well not have won (the U.S. hasn't actually won a war cleanly since the end of World War Two). Even if we had won it, which is not assured, it would have involved combat with Canada and occupying Canada would have entailed a terrorism campaign against the US that would kill Americans at home. Any such war would have besmirched our reputation forever and the world order has already been irreparably harmed to the detriment of Americans.
The man is insane and needs to be removed.
The question is why he isn't already gone. We can be quite assured that if there were sufficient votes, J. D. Vance, who sees his political fortunes evaporating by the minute and his current name likely to go down like Goering's would support it. So would Rubio, who has been mysteriously absent recently. But invoking the 25th Amendment would require the Vice President and a majority of the 15-member Cabinet ot declare the President the batshit crazy Trump unable to perform his duties. That means eight out of fifteen would have to go along with it. Those cabinet members are:
Secretary of StateMarco Rubio
Secretary of the TreasuryScott Bessent
Secretary of DefensePete Hegseth
Attorney GeneralPam Bondi
Secretary of the InteriorDoug Burgum
Secretary of AgricultureBrooke Rollins
Secretary of CommerceHoward Lutnick
Secretary of LaborLori Chavez-DeRemer
Secretary of Health and Human ServicesRobert F. Kennedy Jr.
Secretary of Housing and Urban DevelopmentScott Turner
Secretary of TransportationSean Duffy
Secretary of EnergyChris Wright
Secretary of EducationLinda McMahon
Secretary of Veterans AffairsDoug Collins
Secretary of Homeland SecurityKristi Noem
Administrator of the Environmental Protection AgencyLee Zeldin
Director of the Office of Management and BudgetRussell Vought
Director of National IntelligenceTulsi Gabbard
Director of the Central Intelligence AgencyJohn Ratcliffe
United States Trade RepresentativeJamieson Greer
Administrator of the Small Business AdministrationKelly Loeffler
So, until he's drooling and hitting on Kristi Noem, this is just going to get worse.
Congress could act, and if it was a Democratic Congress it undoubtedly would. Trump's only in office as Joe Biden moronically believed that his own dementia was somehow not there, a common trait of those who have dementia and the electorate blamed the Democrats for a lot of things, like inflation, that were outside of their control, and some things they really didn't like, like the whole transgender thing, that they were in control of. A totally befuddled Trump still knows that this November the GOP is going to be punished for the economy, for average people, getting worse, and he can't gasp that people really don't care if fat cats get fatter, which is the only sort of economic news that means anything to him. By this point in time an American electorate, which has a notoriously short memory, sees ICE in the streets, ICE shooting women in the head, Trump insulting the entire world, and their economic future going down the toilet. His plan is to try to disrupt the 2026 election, or even suspend it if he can, which he can't.
A sane group of Republican members of Congress would act right now to impeach Trump, like they did when Nixon was in office. But current Republicans in Congress are nearly all anemic castrati, with those at the top, like John Thune and John Barrasso providing prime example. Barrasso couldn't find his courage if he'd deposited in a safe deposit box. They're depending on the Democrats taking control i November so they can return to the more comfortable role of complaining about Democrats, and if the country goes in the shitter in the meantime, well at least they can hope to retain their careers.

A former Trump staffer from his first term is expressing concern that he'll launch a nuclear war, and reveals that in his first term the country came close to a war with North Korea.

While the country reeled from the shooting of Alex Pretti, the Mad King Donny was musing on the ballroom that will never be built.
Absolutely insane. Blood literally in the streets and this doddering buffoon is babbling about a structure whose refuse is going to be shoved into a big pile by a D11 and then dumped in a refuse pile.
How pathetic.
The NYT editorial from yesterday:
January 28, 2025
We stopped the conflict between Cambodia and Armenia. It was just starting and it was a bad one.
Donald Trump.
Cambodia and Armenia couldn't fight a war against each other if they both wanted to.
His mind is completely shot.
And with that really weird comment, we'll close out this portion of the roller coast ride with Mad King Donald.
February 3, 2026
King Donny hasn't seemed to notice, but his endorsement is becoming the golden kiss of death all over the country. This past week a solidly Republican Senate district in Texas voted overwhelming for the Democrat, the Trump endorsement meaning nothing. In Wyoming Megan Degenfelder is sort of nervous, rather obviously, about Trump's embrace, and she should be.
Which brings us to this:
Trump has been going after Thomas Massie as he's not a Trump toady like crazy. He's criticized the marriage before, which is pretty rich for a man of Trump's obvious disregard for the meaning of marriage.
Who knew Carolyn would also get free rent in Trump’s head when she married me! I guess that’s just one of the perks.

Trump is clearly unhinged.
And with this latest disgusting outburst by Donald Trump, we'll close this edition.
Yesterday the United States mounted an early morning military operation and removed the chief executive, arguably an illegitimate chief executive, from office and brought him to the United States to face criminal charges, even though the real ability of the US to charge somebody overseas with a crime is dubious and we ignore that when people do that to us.
Later in the day, Donald Trump, also an illegitimate chief executive, gave a press conference.
This demonstrates senility. There's no doubt about it.

There is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me,. . .

The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked now.
January 10, 2026
At a meeting with oil company executives, which was odd in and of itself.
"Hold on, I need to look at my beautiful ballroom” — then got up and walked to the door.
Wow. What a view! This is the door to the ballroom!
The man is a child, but then, that's what senility does.
It's worth finding the video. Trump is clearly senile and its at the point where nobody can hide it. Rubio is sitting there grim faced, because that's all he can do.
It's not, I'd note, just me that's been noticing a rapidly declining cognitive ability in Trump.
If Trump was a partner in a law or accounting firm, he'd have been wheeled out the door by now. If he ran a business on his own his employees would be jumping ship. The man is mentally gone.
At this point its absolutely the case that these conversations are, beyond a shadow of a doubt, taking place behind Trump's back. Rubio, Vance, etc., are discussing his mental incapacity. Rubio is full blown on correction mode all the time. Vance is hiding most of the time. The big question is who is angling for what. We have no reason to believe that these characters all get along with each other, and we know that the Trump administration basically breaks down into 1) National Conservatives, using him as a distraction (Vance, Miller), 2) New Apostolic Reformation Evangelicals who figure that Trump is divinely charged with a mission to bring in a new, Evangelical, Christian age (not in the admin, but think Mike Johnson), 3) rank sycophants who worship Trump unthinkingly and 4) rank opportunist (Marco Rubio). Any one of these groups save for the sycophants would have pushed Trump out by now, but no one group is really in agreement with what comes next. Opportunists don't want the NatCons or the NAR people in, the NAR people don't want the opportunists or the NatCon people in, the NatCon people know that this is their only chance.

Invoke the 25th Amendment you cowardly bastards.
January 17, 2026
He's completely unhinged:
The 25th Amendment needs to be applied now. Trump is a madman. This is utterly insane and anyone supporting it is a complete moron.
Congress, step in.
Section 4
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
Do your duty. Congress can declare itself to be the body that declares Donald Trump to be Bat Shit Crazy. If it was a Democratic Congress, presumably it would. It only requires a few Republicans who are sycophantic toadies to go get it done.
Get it done.

Okay, MAGA adherents and Republican politicians, explain why this isn't batshit crazy:

The Atlantic.
Trump’s Letter to Norway Should Be the Last Straw
Will Republicans in Congress ever step in?
The man is bat shit crazy. He needs to be removed.
From that article:
Yet what matters isn’t the specific phrases, but the overall message: Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee, not the Norwegian government and certainly not the Danish government, determines the winner of that prize. Yet Trump now not only blames Norway for failing to give it to him, but is using it as a justification for an invasion of Greenland.
Congress, screw up your courage and do something.
January 20, 2026
Trump gave a long, rambling, completely unhinged speech today in Europe.
This is effectively the final constitutional test. The Emperor Has NO Clothes. He's batshit crazy and everyone knows it. If the cabinet will not act, it's because their souls are corrupt. It's up to Congress at this point, and the Republicans are gutless cowards.
If they don't act, this is the end of the United States as a great power, and likely the end of the American economic era. It's a disaster.
It's also the end of this edition. Trump's dementia is now in the rapidly accelerating stage and we've entered a new stage of frightful senility. I had predicted the application of the 25th Amendment over a year ago. What I hadn't counted on was evil men like Stephen Miller, or complete fools like Scott Bessett. It's doubtful that it'll be applied now. Like Hitler's minions, they're rather go down in the bunker, or can't realize that they are.
