“Whether you’re a military analyst or a political analyst, whether you’re in the Democratic or Republican party, there’s a reality here. Donald Trump has met the moment of truth. The kind of fictional life that he’s led and evoked over the last four or five decades has now been unmasked as a deadly drama. It’s going to cost the lives of so many people. It’s going to devastate the US economy and the regional economy. It’s going to set back America and its standing in the world. It’s a horrific moment.”
Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota.

I think the amendment is going to struggle as it is for completely incapacitated Presidents, not ones who fight back. Trump is showing up so many flaws with the Constitution, we can only hope someone is actually taking notes.

Wipeywipey · 06/04/2026 10:04

I think I am right that the only person he can't fire is Vance - so anyone suggesting he should go is a sitting duck. Vance will effectively have to order a coup?

I saw that a Iranian condition for a cease fire is regime change in the US.

I can see a future where Iran holds the SoH closed until someone has paid for the damage Israel and US have done. With the implication that if damage is ongoing, then the costs will be ongoing.

That will eventually be translated into the rest of the world doing what they can to pressure the US and Israel to stop.

MsJinks · 06/04/2026 10:14

Hesitant to support Iran - but a US regime change would be amazing! I know it’s a troll.

But perhaps both Iran and the US could agree to both change their regimes - overseen by a world vote, or someone like Gandhi maybe 🤔

DH and finally got round to watching Nuremberg last night. Good film, so many prescient warnings about our current times…

(Disclaimer - I am not comparing Trump et al to Nazis: more the parallels of people sitting back and doing nothing while the charismatic loud mouths say all the “right”/most appealing things to the wider public who seemingly lap it up.)

Any plans for a bingo card on the ceasefire deal?

How about this ?

I'm not holding my breath for the 25th, but right now it seems the only way to resolve the war is to cart off the big orange loon and put the adults in charge.

The damage he's done since being let loose in the White House is incalculable and probably irrecoverable.

A reminder that there are alternate ways to the 25th. Where is that Trump doctor photo I made found the other day...

Then the mob needs to step in and slip him a mickey.

DancingFerret · 06/04/2026 10:28

If they go down that road, the possibilities are endless.

Wipeywipey · 06/04/2026 10:29

Possibly the only country benefiting from this war is Russia though, with the lifting of sanctions, not to mention the nose dive in American popularity globally and in Iran which was previously possibly one of the most pro-American countries in the area, so I doubt that is likely.

logicisall · 06/04/2026 10:30

Re the bingo card, there's no way Trump can pronounce the words 'thermo nuclear device' even after several tries.

Prediction markets tracking the likelihood that President Donald Trumpcould be removed from office under the 25th Amendment saw a steady climb this weekend, reflecting heightened public speculation as the Iran war intensifies and the president's recent statements draw widespread scrutiny.
On Kalshi, one of the largest regulated prediction platforms, trading volume rose as users bet on whether Cabinet‑level action to declare the president unfit might occur.
The increase comes at a moment of global crisis, with the Iran war reshaping U.S. foreign policy and raising questions about decision‑making at the highest levels of government.

I can easily believe that even ordering a nuclear attack would not be enough to trigger the 25th.

People might want to remember what a dirty bomb can do. I am sure Iran has.

To think people used to find it endearing when GW mispronounced it. He even took the piss out of himself over it. And we thought HE was bad.

Erm, actually, he was bad. A million Iraqi.

He won't mention Epstein (and if he does, then it's a clear indication that he's losing his mind).

Strange that. Or may not, given Trump's position; lodged up Putin's anus.

TirednessOnToast · 06/04/2026 10:48

At church yesterday morning we had a visiting bigwig (keen we should know he usually preaches at a Cathedral). He attempted to address rhe 'state of the world'. Like rhe Pope in his inorgural Omni et Urbi address, he didn't specifically mention DJT, but it was very clear that he considered current approach as main problem. He didn't come to any radical conclusions other rhan: 'love one another as God loves you'. He tried?

I'm quite sure Putin has been popping the champagne at this shambles.

We know he has direct phone calls with Trump, and we've seen over the years how skilled he is at directing Trump – to the point Trump publicly announces he believes Putin over the FBI, never mind his utterances on Ukraine.

I've long believed Putin to be egging Trump on in his imperialist ambitions – Greenland, Venezuela.

But the current situation must be beyond Putin's wildest hopes.

There are a few on the unhinged thread in aibu, and a few sock puppets

The more outspoken ones still haven't re-emerged.

The more outspoken one is just posting on other threads atm.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.
