"Oh, so now it's illegal to be unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office?" Mike Johnson, probably.

While I admit to not being a constitutional scholar, a lawyer, or fully informed on this issue...and also that I may dip into hyperbole at times, I do think that Congress has the ability to decide the issue if he has an inability to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Is that not so?

I gotta be honest, the association with monarchy is heretical and outrageous, but the thing that really sticks in my craw is how quickly and steadfastly they stood by "everyone I don't like is Mexican."

Terrorizing random innocent humans as well as the horses over which they are supposed to be caregivers is bad bad. Neither hunting and terrorizing humans nor terrorizing horses in the process is acceptable and should be a criminal offense. I suspect it is.

My one feeble hope is that he saw footage of that one protester dressed as him and their sign.

Kind sir, it's not just loser behavior. It's 25th behavior. He is the President of the United States. It's absolutely unacceptable, yet astonishingly, it's just what we accept that he does on another day ending in "y."

I feel that in 'the before times,' I'd be making jokes about the shitplane.
It pales in comparison to torture, disappearing people, and murder. Yet, somehow, THIS is a tipping point for me.
We absolutely can not keep accepting the actions of this executive branch. 25th or whatever, weed them out.

HOLD UP. George Santos is the lead story on the @nytimes.com website on Saturday night? Not the millions of Americans protesting Donald Trump today at 2,700 events in all 50 states? Come on.

Not to be all "if Biden did this" because the hypocrisy is the point, but people would rightly call for the man to step down if he had done this. And I'm not even talking from a political perspective here.

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

Protesting is hard work

Me in a green sweatsuit onesie with felt frog eyes pinned to the hood, holding a circular sign that reads “Frogs against fascism.” I’m holding a cute baby in a tie dyed green outfit, a hat with frog eyes, and green felt froggie feet. She has a button pinned to her that says “tadpoles against tyranny”

Same as before, but baby is yelling and has a fist raised

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”
