This HCR piece points to an escalation in presidential paranoia. Americans have become accustomed to presidential shit posting, but the pace is increasing as public dissatisfaction with Trump becomes more overt. This account👇 points to an increased tempo of absurd behavior. Increasingly the possibility of a 25th amendment palace coup seems likely #USPol #Politics #Invoke25 #TrumpIsNotWell https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/may-12-2026

@mnutty@mastodon.ie Are there people who really believe that JV Dunce, plus no fewer than 8 of his psychopathically sycophantic colleagues might all stand up simultaneously and publicly defy Stinky? And that Congress, led by an insane GOP cult, would go along? Is that really believable to anyone? Because that what 25A REQUIRES. It's not going to happen. People need to stop fantacising about this, and instead focus on actually workable ways forward. No one's coming to save us. DEFINITELY not the Cabinet.

@mnutty@mastodon.ie I should offer a caveat. There is a very tiny possibility of 25A arising IF -- and ONLY if -- Stinky proves himself, beyond any possible rationalization (and the Right is extremely good at that), of being genuinely incapable of even FAKING competence for a very large proportion of conservatives. I think it's more likely he'll just die, in which case this is still moot.
