“Lightweight Jamie Raskin is a stupid person’s idea of a smart person,” said White House spokesperson Davis Ingle.
Trump is a poor white trash person’s idea of a rich person.
Judging by how much the billionaires back him, I don’t think that’s true. The idea that billionaires are anything other than scammers and abusers like Trump is pretty obviously false. He just doesn’t mask it.
He’s a useful idiot. Back in the 90s when he was doing fast food commercials, he lost massive amounts of money. The appearance of bring a billionaire helped him become a billionaire again. The dude’s a grifter and a puppet.
When Trump opens his mouth, you can SEE Putin’s hand.
No he’s right. Trump before becoming president likely wasn’t a billionaire. Trump is gold leaf trash amongst his peers, he’s the bullshitter his peers play golf with to make fun of. He’s the stupid face for the real Billionaires with tens and hundreds of billions. A Tool of no pedigree, his grandpa dodged the draft and made it opening a whore house.
The billionaires don’t see him as one of them.
Well he’s getting the last laugh then because he’s enriching himself by an obscene amount right now.
Not compared to Elon Musk, Bill Gates, MBS, Peter Thiel, Larry Ellison, Zuck, etc… Trump only now has Arnold (Bubba) Palmer Billions and it’s not very liquid.
Are they just now catching onto and parroting memes from his first term? Lemmy needs a “the right can’t meme” comm if there isn’t one already.
Yeah, pretty big “2016 called and wants their Trump meme back” energy from this one.
Oh no he didn’t just insult my favorite congressman!
It’s not even true either. Jamie Raskin is highly intelligent, and professional, and he even kept serving while undergoing cancer treatment. He’s a hero.
trump on the other hand, is trash.
Yes, I would think stupid people would think a constitutional lawyer is a smart person.
I’m not sure David Ingle is too bright, though.
Oh great another 2 year circus side show.
A commission to assess?
Ffs.
Nuke us from space.
Your request for “nuke us from space” has been filed. It may take up to 15-20 years before you get a reply.
And if you follow there may
Be a tomorrow but if
The offer’s shunned
You might as well be walking on the Sun
Not good enough.
…after which a commission may be formed to assess whether this would be the right move. And after that, it’d probably be DOA in the senate if it gets that far.
I’m fairly sure it’s already been denied, properly filed in a disused lavatory with “beware of leopard” sign as is due process.
Concepts of a plan.
I was about to complain yet again “that’s not how it works”, but then I looked up the text again and this is explicitly allowed. Congress can set up a commission that basically takes the place of the Cabinet for 25th Amendment purposes. So now all this talk of the 25th amendment makes a bit more sense to me.
They still need a 2/3 margin in both houses even after the commission makes their determination, because the idiot is guaranteed to contest it. But maybe there is some truth to the idea that Republicans won’t vote to impeach but would vote to declare him incompetent, based on his dumb tweets
If I were a Republican I’d be arguing that there’s no way Americans didn’t already know he was incompetent when voting for him.
Yea, no backsies!
Maybe the dementia will progress far enough that he’ll forget he needs to send in a letter
I think the chances that republicans will admit their guy is incompetent is close to 0. They will rather lock him up in the white house basement for 2 years.
Man, woman, felon, camera.
Sure let’s do everything but useful stuff
Congress doesn’t use the 25th amendment, it’s the president’s cabinet.
Dems can’t get anything done in Congress, so they might as well poison the MAGA well for the Midterms.

I mean, it’s moderately encouraging to see Dems doing something to fight Trump, but Congress doesn’t have the authority to utilize the mechanisms in the 25th amendment to remove Trump. They can issue articles of impeachment (again), but there are too many conservative senators and representatives protecting Trump for that to be viable, either.
This bill won’t go anywhere, and even if it did pass, it wouldn’t have any effect.
At this point, most of the power they have is performative. They can’t actually do much of anything, but they can make noise. It’s nice to see them doing that. The only shot they have at convincing the MAGA politicians to flip is by flipping public opinion more than it already is.
Even then, I’m not sure it would matter. What are people in red states going to do? Vote for a Democrat!? The mere thought of such a thing!
If there were viable candidates available to actually promote it might happen. I know plenty of people in a red state that were talking about Sanders when he ran. Instead you have the Senate race in NC where during the primary Roy Cooper only ran on “Make Stuff Cost Less” (his actual fucking only campaign proposal at the time to lower food/grocery prices). Luckily he has updated his page with healthcare and utilities now.
This is slightly incorrect. Congress can pass a law forming a body which can then determine if the president is unable to perform their duties and invoke section 4 of the 25th amendment.
Passing such a law would almost certainly require a veto override, and even then, Congress would still need a two thirds majority of both houses to make section four stick.
This bill’s primary purpose is to force Republicans to be on record that they are just fine with whatever unhinged things Trump is doing. Just like the war powers bills.
Another performative stunt. Dead on arrival and everyone knows it.
Until November.
His craziness needs to stay in until December.
I hear ya, but nobody is going to willingly elect JD Vance. It’s better to remove Pedonald as quickly as possible imho
Why?
47 needs to go ASAP, if vance has to serve more than 50% of the remaining term then he can only run for reellection once. If 47 croaks or is removed after that point, the couch-fucker can run with some incumbant advantage twice
Isn’t that exactly why we’d want him removed before December?
Useless noise for headlines. We need to focus on voting MAGA and turn-coat dems out.
…out of everything this is what they choose… Wtf is wrong with usa. It’s like the culture and country are all mentally ill.
What, exactly, would you have them do? Seriously, what should they do instead?
This is even more worthless than a strongly worded letter.
The Democrats are the minority party, there’s not much more than strongly worded letter that they can do.
