Every day I realize it is just getting worse.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Every day I realize it is just getting worse. Trump creating "drama and suspense" by sending both nominated SCOTUS men to DC for TV cameras to follow around all day long was lame. Trump must think that Nielson Rating company is tracking his every move.

Let me brighten up your day
Steve Bannon is consolidating power in the WH and is running an off the books shadow security council which apparently is the source of new foreign policies. As an indicator of possibilities, it does not bode well for the future.
And you thought it was getting worse

Just saw a chilling interview of Sebastian Gorka and Tapper. Then I read several other interviews. This guy is scary and now he is on Trump's inner circle of security advisors.

And you thought it was getting worse At what point does this become legally actionable? I suspect that IN REALITY, it only ACTUALLY becomes actionable in a real sense AFTER terrible damage is done in some way. But in a LEGAL sense, at what point does the line cross into criminality, unconstitutionality and impeachability?

It is my belief that there have already been actions that are extra-constitutional. Given the loose organization, and the utter amateur status of the staff, and the penchant some already have for illegality (or at least questionable legality), illegal acts have, and no doubt will take place. The real question is, will there be enough evidence preserved to be accumulated to bring charges. It will start with underlings, but a pattern will have been established to demonstrate a deliberate effort. Only then will impeachment be possible, but it will not happen. Impeachment is a political act, and until Congress changes substantially, the GOP will not find sufficient cause. That means at least two years of this lunacy, at a minimum. The damage will have been great by then.

The damage will have been great by then. Unfortunately, I believe that it will be much longer than that. The gop has gerrymandered so many of the congressional districts that there is no way that they will loose any substantial number of districts, they basically have no accountability and are spineless turds. So, the next two or three election cycles will see no effective change in the House. The only hope is with the Senate since they are elected statewide. I shed tears of despair.
