After former FBI Director Andrew McCabe revealed on Thursday that the Justice Department discussed invoking the 25th Amendment with members of President Donald Trump's cabinet, the president demonstrated he does not know anything about the 25th Amendment or really about how the constitution works.

Trump took to Twitter Thursday night to repeat a bonkers line from Alan Dershowitz during an appearance on Fox News (of course):

“'Trying to use the 25th Amendment to try and circumvent the Election is a despicable act of unconstitutional power grabbing...which happens in third world countries. You have to obey the law. This is an attack on our system & Constitution.' Alan Dershowitz. "

Alan Dershowitz is a Harvard Law professor and Trump defender whose complaint to Fox News is a total distortion of the 25th Amendment, which establishes the means to remove a president who is no longer fit to serve.

The 25th Amendment, does not, however, list specific circumstances under which it should be invoked. Instead, it leaves the decision up to "the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress."

Pause for a second to appreciate where we are.

Dershowitz's claim that using the Constitution is an attack on the Constitution is really quite remarkable.

For obvious reasons:

Fail.

I mean...

McCabe's revelation must have struck a nerve.

Author and lawyer Seth Abramson thinks there is something sinister afoot.

On Friday morning, Abramson offered a sobering analysis:

"What Alan Dershowitz said to Tucker Carlson has nothing to do with the Constitution or rule of law, but with inoculating Trump against the findings of a wholly legal and responsible federal criminal investigation by implying, without evidence, that its intent is an illegal coup."

This has people asking what on Earth is going on with Dershowitz.

In other words, crimes are not crimes.

None of this is normal.

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

Woman In Labor Times How Long Her Husband Takes To Poop To See If She Can Push Their Baby Out Faster In Hilarious Viral Video

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
