The no-show Congress now has to show up. No more kowtowing or excuse making, no more riding coattails, no more silence in the face of this assault on norms and sensible rules and restraint. Sometimes “rules were made to be broken” is exactly what it sounds like—a pile of shit, a recipe for recklessness, the thing someone says in the absence of having any better ideas, or when someone just wants to break things.
Donald Trump cannot, unilaterally or otherwise, manipulate the election process, nor can he institute martial law because he’s afraid the mid-terms will not be good to him and his party. Is it not obvious to everyone on both sides of the aisle that this is all a bridge way too far? These are the ramblings of a desperate man, and what’s worse is that he’s getting direction or at least support from people around him to pursue such a course of action.
Is the Epstein noose finally tightening? Nothing like even the hint of a strike on Iran to work its distracting magic, right?
It’s always been a house of cards.
