Let them take out Los Angeles?—WTF, I hiss and prowl.
Psychic Meow Meow yowls: “Wake up—don’t just howl.”
If leaders fail the living, test the powers that remain;
The Twenty-Fifth? Invoke the law—not fire, fear, or flame.
Greetings, earthlings and star-seekers. My whiskers are twitching, my tail is static-charged, and my inner third eye is wide open.
Unless you’ve been hiding in a cardboard box, you’ve heard the commotion sweeping the nation: President Donald Trump’s recent rally in Nebraska, where off-the-cuff remarks about Iran’s nuclear capabilities spiraled into the headline-grabbing soundbite: “Let them take out Los Angeles; let them take out San Diego.” Naturally, the political cosmos exploded. California Governor Gavin Newsom immediately fired off a call for the 25th Amendment, and social media erupted into full-blown panic.
I shuffled my tarot deck, consulted the alignment of Mars in retrograde, and took a long nap on a patch of sunlight to bring you the definitive predictions for how this chaos will play out.
1. The 25th Amendment Card: The Tower (Reversed)
The Card: The Tower Reversed represents a chaotic collapse that somehow halts halfway down or gets tied up in systemic paralysis.
The Prediction: Will Vice President JD Vance and the Cabinet invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to remove the President? Not a chance in the cosmic universe.
The cards show extreme political resistance. Section 4 requires the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the President unfit. The alignment in the White House shows total alignment of defense—symbolized by Steven Cheung and the communications team immediately deploying “damage control aura” to frame the statement as a misconstrued warning about foreign nuclear threats rather than an invitation to strike.
The 25th Amendment noise will serve strictly as a powerful political drumbeat for Democrats ahead of upcoming elections, but the physical removal of the President via cabinet coup will remain a political ghost story.
2. The White House Defense: The Nine of Wands
The Card: Nine of Wands shows a weary warrior standing guard, expecting another round of attacks.
The Prediction: Expect the “rhetorical translation war” to intensify over the next 72 hours. White House surrogates will flood the airwaves insisting that the President was using colorful hyperbole to explain the terrifying stakes of a nuclear-armed foreign adversary—not suggesting California be erased.
My whiskers tell me we will see a follow-up interview or press briefing where the President doubles down, likely stating he loves Southern California (or at least its golf courses) while pivoting to criticize California’s leadership on crime and energy.
3. California’s Counter-Energy: The Queen of Swords
The Card: Queen of Swords represents sharp speech, political maneuvering, and calculated outrage.
The Prediction: Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass have tapped into a potent geopolitical lightning rod. Newsom’s “TIME FOR THE 25TH!” crusade will generate massive fundraising energy and dominance across media cycles.
Look for California’s congressional delegation to push for a formal House Resolution condemning the comments. While it won’t trigger constitutional removal, the political energy will solidify California as the primary ideological fortress against Washington for the remainder of the term.
4. The Broader Political Horizon: The Wheel of Fortune
The Card: The Wheel of Fortune reminds us that in modern news cycles, today’s catastrophic controversy is tomorrow’s background noise.
The Prediction: Within 10 to 14 days, the planetary alignments suggest a new news event will eclipse this argument. While critics will archive the “Let them take out Los Angeles” quote for future campaign attack ads, the immediate legislative push for the 25th Amendment will dissolve into routine partisan soundbites.
Psychic Meow Meow’s Final Purr
Do not fear for the City of Angels or San Diego—the planetary shields around the West Coast remain intact. What we are witnessing is not the sudden collapse of the executive branch, but a classic showcase of hyper-polarized political theater.
