What we’ve done in our politics is create a situation where we’re electing idiots.
Liz Cheney
Section 1
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
Section 2
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
Section 3
Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
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.

Trump calls in and Junior puts him on speaker (in Greenland). He says we need to take over Greenland because there are “ships sailing around and they’re not the right ships.”
Ron Filipkowski
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
Reporter: Can you assure the world that as you try to get control of Greenland and the Panama Canal, you are not going to use military or economic coercion?Trump: No.. I can’t assure you on either of those two.
And:
The windmills are driving the whales crazy. Obviously.
Trump also stated he'd use "economic force" to compel Canada to become a 51st state.
And:
It's called rain. It comes down from heaven. And they want to do no water comes out of the shower. It goes drip drip drip ... you can have all the water you want. It makes no difference.
And, he claimed at his press conference that Hezbollah was at the January 6 riots.

The head of a country that lives in forest. A number of them, actually. Finland told me this. Austria told me this. The head of Austria, the head of Finland. And it was beautiful they way they expressed it. They said, 'We live in a forest. We are a forest nation.'
and;
We're gonna be demanding respect from other nations. Canada, we have a tremendous deficit with Canada. We're not gonna have that anymore. As you probably know, I say you can always become a state. If you're a state, we won't have a deficit, we won't have to tariff you.
and;
REPORTER: You would agree it's never acceptable to assault police officers?
TRUMP: Sure
REPORTER: Among those you pardoned is a guy who used a stun gun on a police officer. Why does he deserve a pardon?
TRUMP: Well, I don't know

I'm signing an executive order to open up the pumps and valves in the north. We want to get that water pouring down here as quickly as possible ... you're talking about unlimited water coming up from the Pacific Northwest, even coming from parts of Canada.
Um. .. there aren't any such valves. This is pure batshit crazy.
In any normal time, this would send Donny to the retirement home. It's completely nuts.
Also, fwiw, water flows from the Continental Divide, west. Not from north to south.
cont:
We may be a very substantially enlarged country in the not too distant— Isn't it nice to see -- for years, decades, we’re the same size to the square-foot, probably got smaller actually but we might be an enlarged country pretty soon.
I actually figure at this point there's a good chance he's going to order the military to invade Canada.

Okay, there is now this by the person who (illegitimately and illegally) claims to be the head of the most powerful nation on Earth.
No serious nation does this. The man is a dangerous fool.
25th Amendment.
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.
Of course, this is aimed at the American public, with the presumption that being a mob tough guy is cute or admirable, rather than this depiction being childish and repressible.
The American public may disagree, in which case, truly, it has become childish.
When we are past this era, and it won't be soon enough, the long lasting American anti intellectual streak in the culture has to end. Yes, some people really are smarter than other. No, collective widom doesn't trump intellect. People need to get educated.

We identified and stopped $50 million being sent to Gaza to buy condoms for Hamas. And you know what's happened to them? They've used them as a method of making bombs.
We didn't appropriate $50M for condoms for Hamas.
Truly, this is rather weird, even for Donald Trump, and some people will believe it, which is pathetic.

A helicopter/aircraft collision occurred last night near Washington D.C. The helicopter was a Blackhawk, and therefore a military helicopter.
Trump took to social media:
Let's face it. Trump is simply stupid. The nation has elected a wealthy, dimwitted, vengeful, ignoramus.
January 31, 2024
This is simply surreal:
This one is shameful beyond all measure:
This is, frankly, shameful in the extreme:
Trump is pitting people against each other on racist grounds. He's an embarrassment to the country.
It's worth watching when it's signed. Trump has the appearance of a profoundly stupid man.
On his appearance, his physical condition is rather obviously declining quite rapidly. He can no longer hide that he's bald and his hair is white. The orange tan stuff, which was always disgusting, isn't working.

Trump proposed the Gazans be cleared out of Gaza and given new land, and the existing area become a real estate development belonging to the United States.
This came in a conference with Prime Minister Netanyahu, who pretty clearly thinks Trump is nuts.
If the Gazans could be resettled in a viable location, which won't happen, it would address much of their problems. The US then owning Gaza as a sort of Levantine Club Med is bat shit crazy, however.
Trump claimed Middle Eastern leaders thought this was a great idea, which they immediately denied. It's pretty clear the major Middle Eastern powers also regard Trump as a lunatic.
This does provide, however, a real insight into his senile way of thinking. Trump, a real estate developer who really has nothing else to his credit, and lacks any moral character, thinks the whole world is just one big real estate developer. Essentially he's a collision of amorality, senility, and capitalism.

The Congo in Africa. Many, many people come from the Congo. I don’t know what that is, but they came from the Congo.
Donald Trump, in a press conference with Giorgia Meloni.
My guess is the following set of photographs might be copyrighted, as I don't know who took them, but I'm posting them under the fair use exception for what they illustrate.
Meloni is exactly the sort of right wing populist leader MAGA people claim they want. She's genuinely a far right politician, but not a babbling vengeful incoherent old guy. Her expressions, and she's notoriously expressive, say it all. She can hardly stand being there.

WOMAN: It's an ice fishery, and it's been around since the early 1900s

While this thread is focus on Donald Trump, we can't help but note that Lauren Boebert stated Wall Street "is full of Communists selling their stock to hurt President Trump".
Truly, Republicans ought to really stop and think. That's amazingly stupid.
And then we have White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt who comes across as a total ditz. In her defense, her job is shoveling shit, but none the less.

Trump's social media Easter post.
Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country. Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten! Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America. He was, by far, our WORST and most Incompetent President, a man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing -- But to him, and to the person that ran and manipulated the Auto Pen (perhaps our REAL President!), and to all of the people who CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election in order to get this highly destructive Moron Elected, I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!

This is extremely weird and ought to be evidence enough that Trump isn't well, and should be removed immediately.

You know, the cost of eggs have come down like 93, 94% since we took office. They are pretty much normally price now.

This is a complete lie. And its such an absurd lie, that it once again raises questions about the sanity of the person saying it.

There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along.

Trump, in an interview with Stephen Smith, a black reporter, about Harvard:
We had riots in Harlem and frankly if you look at what's gone on and people from Harlem went up and they protested, Stephen, and they protested very strongly against Harvard, uh, they happened to be on my side. ... I got a very high Black vote.
Uff.
Yesterday, a cabinet meeting was held which turned out to be a praise session of sycophants, with Pam Bondi's praise, claiming Trump had saved the lives of over 250,000,000 Americans the most bizarre and extreme.
The entire cabinet is basically nuts.
And so, after 100 horrific days, we'll make that the fitting close to the first installment of this 25th Amendment Watch List.
