67. If you want to be cynical, then how about this?
Politicians will always try to stay in the good graces of the people with the most power...it's necessary to stay alive, politically. They're also extremely quick to disassociate themselves with anyone who's going down. It takes a long time for someone as high up as * to go down, but they can go down. * has been making lots and lots of enemies over the last 4 years...in the military, in the intelligence communities, in Congress, everywhere. He's got lots of negative political capital built up. That kind of stuff matters in Washington. It matters a lot.

All that negative political capital all builds up, sticks together with the election fraud stuff like a snowball. Right now it may feel like we're pushing the snowball up a mountain, but sooner or later, we have to hit that peak. Once that snowball starts going down the other side, we're going to see some spectacular avelanches.

I don't know if we'll hit that peak by Jan 6th, or Jan 20th. But godammit, I know it's there and I know that all we have to do is keep pushing. Pessimistically, I give the * 6 months max. He's got more snow than Santa. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
