It’s Time for the 25th Amendment

Monday, January 19, 2026

Trump's insane letter leaves not doubt. Even by Trump's standards, this letter is so dangerous and so delusional that there is no longer any question that the president is mentally "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office," as laid out in the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.

The 25th Amendment, Section 4, requires as an initial step that Vance and a majority of the Cabinet (www.etsy.com) inform Chuck Grassley (abcnews.go.com) and Mike Johnson (www.amazon.com) that Trump is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."

How many spines in that crowd?

No spines, but a few vicious wannabees who see the proverbial writing on the wall (his polls, mostly), and might just try something.

Personally, I don't think it would werk anyway; the far right, having gotten this close to total power, isn't going to go quietly into that good night.

They've been locked and loaded since Rush and Newt.

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."

#9 shrimpsized(30-40)genitaliahiddenbyataco"Danielle" is threatening to doxx people:

"Doxxing" (or "doxx") means publishing someone's private, identifying information (like name, address, or workplace) online without consent, stemming from "dropping docs" (documents), primarily to harass, intimidate, or shame them, often escalating to real-world threats, stalking, or "swatting," and is a serious form of online abuse involving gathering data from public records, social media, and other sources.

What a chicken manure "kitty" coward" you are, shrimpsized(30-40)genitaliahiddenbyataco"Danielle" (28 29 30 plonks).

I've marked it Abusive.

I have a feeling our host will not take such threats lightly.

Ouch, something stuck in your cloaca?

I expect a registry of ICE participants starting directly after Trump's arrest.

Did you even bother to check out William Sascha Riley's testimony?

Trump is a pedophile sadist, that is what your party functions to protect.

If you are banned, know that gift is well-received.:]

Freakin' Mendoza is amazing!

Last game he threw the ball like a Pro, this week he's toughing it out (so far).

The Refs are helping Indie at all.

I can't watch the game so I will have to defer to you Corky. I'm not an Indiana fan. I'm just rooting for them to win because they are Midwest. Just FYI.
