If only there was some sort of protocol for this situation
It would take an act of congress to devise such a protocol
And those experts will be classified as having the bullshit thing the cons call "TDS" in a classic conservative, "no, you!" retort.
I would note that the Soviets would classify those that didn't agree with their regime as having a mental disorder:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_abuse_of_psychiatry_in_the_Soviet_Union
And so of course the cons are trying to get "TDS" classified as a real mental disorder, since having a leader under the sway of the Russians is not enough, we need to copy the worst tactics of their past. Of course the mouth-breathing idiots that are the marks for this level of disinformation eat that up - anyone that points out what an idiot and a criminal that Donvict is must have "TDS"; that's just science.
Repubs will get rid of him but the plan was, and so far apparently still is, to wait until after January next year, after the midterms and so that Vance will take over with less than half the term remaining, allowing him to run twice more. Their hope was that keeping him around until the midterms would help them hold the majority in both Houses of Congress, more than Vance would be able to. But by now, some of them are regretting that, since he's going off the deep end further and faster than they expected. They might lose both Houses anyway and now he's started this catastrophic war. I'm sure some of them are arguing for getting rid of him sooner than planned at this point.
You know, I think we've heard this before a few hundred times. Am I crazy or have we known he's crazy for over 6 years? Before his first administration ended, he was experiencing some dementia problems, or am I misremembering this?
Also, dozens of astronomers have testified that the sun is bright and yellow, and is visible during the day.
I'd been wondering what the bright yellow thing in the sky was
Which means it's always visible, since it's always day somewhere.
Actually it's green
I thought it was a reddish yellow but Im pretty racist.
The letter, entered by Senators Whitehouse and Reed of Rhode Island on April 30, represents an unusually direct intervention by medical experts spanning conservative and liberal ideologies, multiple religions, and diverse backgrounds. The press release announcing this action was published Tuesday night (May 5).
It's rare to read that in published form. A potential problem is that it may be useful to someone near Trump for him to remain there. Perhaps Vance, perhaps Vought, perhaps someone else, or a group of them. I don't believe Trump is making these continually bad and harmful decisions on his own. "The power behind the throne."
Vance wants him to stay in through next year. He wants to be the longest serving president since Roosevelt.
Yeah. If vance can get trump over Day 713 then he has 10 years to dismantle voting and term limits.
Vought?
This is as useful and effective as:
"Dozens of security experts testify that Windows 11 with Copilot is spyware and must not be used."
this is one of the reasons why the GOP has spent the last few decades demonizing experts and dismissing science as "fake news," other reasons being racism, climate denial, 'trickle-down' economics, etc
Reality has a liberal bias, so they have to wage war on reality to survive.
Who could have guessed that kindness was objectively the right thing to do? Feelings? Data? Science? Nah... /s :/
Facts are very inconvenient for them.
Idk what I'm supposed to do with the advice of dozens of mental health experts. Anyone with the ego to run for President of the United States is arguably mentally unstable to begin with. Trump's always been a degenerate little freak. And now he's a senile degenerate freak.
But he's hardly the first President in US history to suffer from Old Person Brain and get shepherded around by a gaggle of scheming viziers while the country crumbles around them. What is anyone going to do about it? The Senate is packed with people exactly as senile and corrupt and petty as Trump. And nothing in the next election cycle seems like it will change that.
Hell, Democrats were working kinda-sorta hard to put an 80-year-old woman into Susan Collin's Senate seat barely more than a week ago. In NC, they're running Roy Cooper at 68 years young. Meanwhile, 73 year old Sherrod Brown is looking to reclaim his Ohio seat for another six years. These are the Fresh New Faces we're supposed to rally behind to defeat the Trump Gerontocracy?
Agreed. We've had multiple wake-up calls that we don't have any guardrails against an unstable President, and we've done nothing about it. I mean technically we have guardrails. But the reality is our elected officials are a bunch of feckless cowards who value being in power more than they value wielding it responsibly. And since impeaching a President is tantamount to a nuclear bomb enema, politically speaking, no one is willing.
We are electing the fundamentally wrong sorts of people. It's not just age.
Status quo right? Fuck old pricks I'm 51 and hate a majority of my peers
62 here. Ditto.
You're right.
Bet. Check it, we need young blud runnin' dis shiz rite hurr. Deez old fucks gon up n die soon n leave wut? A wasted shit land fer all us n shit? Naw bruh, bet.. 2028 im finna run for prez up in this bitch n git shit dun son! Bruh, these old fucks gotta go, yo. Vote Dillon Breeze 2028. Peace.
New age campaign slogans for the next generation of government.
Vote Dillon Breeze 2028.
If Pete Buttigieg thought he could talk like this an become President, he'd do it in a New York Minute. If Ted Cruz thought he could win like this, he'd do it in a split second. If Bernie Sanders thought this would guarantee a win, he'd probably give it a shot. What does it prove, though?
What you've illustrated is the superficial nature of retail democratic campaigning. Is Dillon Breeze a good bureaucrat? A savvy diplomat? A patriot more interested in the interest of his fellows than himself? Fuck if I know. I just know he doesn't talk like a Boomer, so he's not going to win the GenX+ vote.
My guy could be the next FDR or the next Donald Trump. I have no useful information from your word salad. There's nothing in this to actually make a political decision on, and yet I'm expected to... not like this guy, because he uses GenZ slang words, and that's just about it.
Okay boomer.
No mention of 'W' or 'rizz'? Let alone aura farming or mogging. You're reaching teens in the early 2000s lol
For some reason I pictured the skinny white kid from Idiocracy saying that. The Secretary of Energy.
Tired of these headlines, it's been years and years. Rawstory.com is just ragebait for liberals.
You don't need a mental health expert to see that. Millions of people see it.
ohh yeah because this is what will get them to remove him
Has been for st least over 20 years now.
