I watched an episode of Veep today where the vice president's staff was panicking that she nodded off at a senate meeting. This aired in 2012

trump, 79, Triggers Fake 25th Amendment Calls Absolutly No One Will Do Anything About Because They Are All Cowards With Sleepy Oval Office Slump. FTFY
How many times are politicians going to call for the 25th and then do nothing to enact it? Either shit or get off the pot.
For as long as merely suggesting someone does something about it continues to satiate the American people’s appetite for justice. I guess.
They should stop letting this sleepy fat pedophile sit down for these press events. Just stand up. I mean he keeps saying he's in perfect health, ok then stand up for 10 minutes so you don't fall asleep. Shouldn't be a problem, right?
Have you seen these sleeping videos? I've gone and watched them. It's a nothing burger.
Why can’t he just stroke out already.
Because only the good die young.
David Attenborough is still alive!!
I didn't say ALL the good die young.
Mel Brooks is turning 100 this month!
He is neither good nor young.
He's having a hard time getting some little kids.
His hatred sustains him
Look how far it got Kissenger
Hypothesis, this is god punishing the US for not following him/her/its true christian values. Why send locusts when you have this POS at your disposal
Well they already sent gnats, bed bugs and swarms of angry bees to the white house.
I personally think it's more disturbing how the only time he can stay awake is when grown adults line up to praise him to trade their most creative sychophantic fantasies in for real world power points in the Republican party, but I guess whatever it takes.
Hey that's not true! He also woke up to talk shit about trans women and then fell back asleep.
then fell back to sleep
but not before shitting his pants!
Or when he's ranting and posting AI slop on Truth Social in the middle of the night.
Wake me up when the people that can actually do something about this mess do something about this mess.
The only person who can start the 25th Amendment process is J.D. Vance so, um... yeah.
Maybe if somebody offers him a really NICE couch?
Hol'up, I know a guy!
This is the only time I have hoped a picture was LLM slop.....
Do not attribute to slop what could simply be incredibly bad design. Let bad designers still claim credit for their abominations and crimes against humanity.
Agreed. Bad design is a art form unto itself and should be celebrated. Especially when we can use it against these cunts.
In case you didn't know about them:
/c/assholedesign /c/crappydesign
Might have flipped the names in all my tabbing around on mobile.
This is just called good living, friend.
Love this classic. I can't help but believe there was some maliciousness going on here.
Tin foil hat theory? They are waiting until 2027 to 25th him. If they wait until then Vance would serve less than 2 years and be able to run in the next 2 elections.
He's about as likeable as Ted Cruz, most likely less. Why would they want him running, I wonder?
Sure, right now he might top their hypothetical polls, but wait until they see this dingus on the usual rounds.
Say what you want about Pumpkinhead, he seems to be liked by a certain kind of person. "JD" "Vance" seems so awkward and weird...do people see others showing up this weird guy's rallies? Wearing "JD" gear?
Once Dozey Don is out of the picture, there will be no hiding for this guy and I doubt even the teabagging bircher magamushferbrainz are going to be wild about him.
I'm not even sure they want Vance to run again. But they definitely don't want to 25th Trump before the midterms.
Vance needs the support of both the Cabinet and Congress to complete his 25th coup. If he doesn't have Congress, the Cabinet isn't going to back him. And he doesn't (currently) have Congress. He won't have Congress until the incoming congress is seated in January.
Trumps cult was ready to hang the last vp for less. Maybe that keeps him in line.
I am sorry, this is something akin to clickbait trash.
Shhh... let us enjoy The National Equirer
Trump slump affects the “man” himself!
