Doomed, we're all Doomed : And yet the world still turns.

I think he might have dementia of some sort. I don't think anyone that's lucid could be so erratic.

Elon Musk has repeated his claim that the british diver was a pedo for the third time. He's lost it.

Just fucking replace him with that Mike Pence guy

Yes his views are regressive and dangerous but not so dangerous as this impulsive idiot. Now that it's clear he isn't even fit to lead, that it's a shadow presidency. And he knows it and can vindicate whatever dumb shit he decides to do next.

Take it away from the Twitter addict, god why is this real

That they've entertained the 25th amendment just shows that they all acknowledge what everyone knows, guy is an unsuitable basketcase. So how does it continue.

There's a theory that the staffer who wrote the NYT op-ed is either a Mike Pence staffer or someone close enough to him that he borrows a lot of the same turns of phrase.

In either event Trump looks more and more isolated now.

Another take I've seen is that this is preemptive image cleaning by the GOP 'resistance' against the onslaught of allegations soon to come out of all these indictments which will only accelerate if November mid-terms go a certain way. Pence has already distanced himself from the attacks on Sessions.

Trump would be well right to fire all these people surely, for once in his administrations life.

It's like a WWE plotline

Cmon wtf

Kim Jong Un of North Korea proclaims “unwavering faith in President Trump.” Thank you to Chairman Kim. We will get it done together!

Isn't NK the baddies lol

Also that story about the guy setting his shoes on fire while wearing them isn't fake news, there's a picture out there of him with very serious life changing burn scars on his feet

[maf-me-quick]

In fairness I know someone who set fire to their leg so it’s not that uncommon

Oh, so that's why Glenn Jacobs (aka Kane) has just become a local mayor in Tennessee.....

I once set my feet on fire by accident. It's not an interesting story, but it learnt me an important life lesson.

Really ?!?!

Having never set my feet on fire, I'm pretty sure that I've no inclination to ever do so, regardless of not having done it before. Some things seem pretty obvious without needing to learn them from personal experience.

[Sly Reflex]

Yes really. It was nearly 30 years ago, but it happened.

[regemond]

I'm entirely entertained by this. Gutted I can't get into the city centre tomorrow.

So this data has been extracted from previous voting data.

This reminds me of a the way politics in the USA is going. Although in a very prominent position the Republican party are going to face a stiff challenge because the demographic as a whole is rapidly changing. States that were previously red states will flip to blue ones as they become more diverse if the more conservative side of governance there adapts to what's happening.

It's going to be the same here. There's going to be blips of madness where there's a bit or turmoil, but as a whole the younger side of the country has had enough of the conservative way of governance.

For what it's worth I don't think the Tory party will vanish over night, they'll probably end up leaning into more dominant parties to get some votes there.

Of course this is all based on people not changing their minds somewhere down the line of the parties in question not having blow outs. You could extrapolate the data in multiple ways as seen in the tweets at the bottom of that article, but as long as there's some sort of stability with the generations following this one it could get very messy for the more conservative parties.

I think it'd be interesting to see where the tipping point is as well, look at the data that shows where the Tory voters become the majority and see if when this bracket reach that age if there's any change of decision on behalf of the voter.

People generally turn more conservative as they get older though, don't they.

I'm not sure how much Brexit would upset that trend though. Probably by a lot.
