We're not sure why Keith Olbermann has a bug up his butt Thursday. There's plenty going on in the Senate with confirmation hearings for Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard, but Olbermann is focused on President Donald Trump. He posted a photo of his TV screen showing Trump at Thursday's press briefing, which he opened with a moment of silence for the victims of Wednesday night's deadly air disaster.
Olbermann is now demanding the 25th Amendment be invoked, and Trump put in a straightjacket before sunset.
25th Amendment. Today. I want a psychiatric professional to put Trump in a strait jacket before sunset

We normally wouldn't give Olbermann the oxygen, but he reminds us so much of CNN's Brian Stelter, who repeatedly invited a psychiatrist, Bandy X. Lee, to his show to demand during Trump's first term that he be placed in a 72-hour psychiatric hold over a tweet warning North Korea about aggression. The only problem she could see physically restraining him was that it would "really look like a coup, and while we are trying to prevent violence, we don’t wish to incite it through, say, an insurrection.”
We haven't seen Lee this second term yet, but now we have Olbermann demanding Trump be restrained in a straightjacket. Would Olbermann care to elaborate on why he feels this way, exactly?
Let me know how that goes for you.

Are you okay?

Oh, you discovered the 25th Amendment. Would have been helpful the last 4 years.

If anyone needs a psych evaluation …
Why before sunset? Is that when your TV time is over before going back to the safety of your padded room?

Yes, we'll get right on that, Margaret.

All Keith has is hate posting on X. All he can do is cry into his phone. Sad. 😔

Did that other site kick you out, or is it still super boring?

Is Trump in the room with you now? Is he touching you?
— Dan Macgowan (@danpcman) January 30, 2025
Olbermann is "touched."
Spoiler: the days of you crying to get what you want is over.

After reading this I want a psych evaluation on you.
— Jodi (@APLMom) January 30, 2025
Really. You are completely unhinged.
You're really just going to spend the next 4 years screaming into the sky, aren't you?
— RUM (@MAGAglock) January 30, 2025
I think you're exhibiting alarming signs of toxic shock syndrome, Keith. Please change your tampon immediately.
— Lili von Shtupp (@LvS_Redux) January 30, 2025
This can't be right. Krazy Keith vowed not to post on X. Which leftist nutjob has taken over this account?
— American Made (@Brain_Pwr) January 30, 2025
About that, he said he was giving up on political posts on Twitter and only posting about his dog rescue efforts. When he inevitably started posting about politics after a week or so, he argued that he'd never said he wouldn't reply to tweets. He gets this dopamine rush from being a douche on social media — that's our psychiatric analysis.
