One view (mine) - things can't happen fast enough for we here at DU - it is so horrific. BUT....

When we ponder how long politics typically takes to unwind - think Watergate - and probably catalyzed by the scorched earth tactics of the bumbling yet fully destructive cabal now in power, things are moving really fast.

I cannot think of ONE DAY since election night when there hasn't been some sort of train wreck occurrence - typically many of them - in the news.

But - and I've only been on DU for a few minutes yet am stunned by a few headlines - the Comey Russia thing, the Maddow tax thing - I have to think...just HAVE to think - that enough "adults in the room" (overt or covert) in some sort of power position are sufficiently freaked that things are being put into motion to make it all go tumbling down. Perhaps it is the Bannon shit - perhaps the ICE stuff - certainly the tax stuff...or the spying allegations against Obama - but...

I think that one or more straws is finally breaking the camel's back.

At least one can hope....really really hope. Because we lost our 8 year beacon of hope and it has been entirely absent since about 8 PM election night.

BOINGGGGGG goes my schadenboner!!!

I guess it just my evil conservative black heart that find true joy every morning to look at drudge to see what presents President Trump has brought decent and civilized Americans.  Having the DUchebags lament and writhe in pain is a cherry on top.

Let me try to make this reeeeeeeeally simple: Nixon fell because the Watergate burglary was a real (incredibly STOOOOOOOOO-pid) burglary, and Nixon was stooooopid enough to try to protect and cover up for the WH staff people who engineered it. A REAL burglary, and a REAL cover-up.

Now, in 2017:

Russian hacking?  -dreams.

Trump's taxes? A Fantasy Fishing Expedition gone stupid.

Bannon-is-an-anti-Semite? Slander so STOOOOOOOOO-pid it can't stand in the face of searching "Israel" or "Jew(ish)" on Breitbart.com.

Obama Administration spying on Trump? You will not like what is revealed if it all comes out!

Flinging truck loads of stupidly false mud didn't bring down Reagan. Flinging truck loads of stupidly false mud didn't bring down G. W. Bush. The Pedestrian Petenak foresees flinging truck loads of stupidly false mud won't bring down Donald Trump.

Because we lost our 8 year beacon of hope and it has been entirely absent since about 8 PM election night.

As the late Lee Rodgers used to say: Don't EVER fall in love with a politician. They WILL break your heart. That said, Obama was the most pathetic political messiah in US history!
