Smells like Watergate X10. Constitutional crisis imminent?

The amp went to 11 in Spinal Tap. Somehow this criminal cabal takes it far beyond... reason, sanity and decency all stretched at an ever increasing rate. The news cycle is no longer measurable!

Chris Matthews has been calling it a slow-motion Saturday Night Massacre.

I wish someone would explain exactly what constitutes a "constitutional crisis" though, and whether there are any remedies besides waiting for November.

a boiling pot of water.

It's starting to boil now.

Things are going to get horrible real fast. Cornered rats and all that.

I'm starting to completely understand the feeling I had the day after election day.

I’ve been watching Nuclear War stuff on YouTube as it seems more likely as trump becomes more cornered.

Probably a lot longer ago than most of us realize.

But Monday's dual threats of the Trump admin refusing to implement Russian sanctions and the House Intel RepubliCONs voting to release that memo both qualify for the latest dramatic pieces.
