I honestly thought nothing was gonna happen, but I think they're gonna do it. It's the most lib thing possible: removing a president two weeks before he leaves anyways and claiming they saved democracy. The round of applause they'll give themselves will be insufferable.

    His base will be waiting and will latch onto the next bat shit crazy far right figure that emerges. Trump is just the beginning. Somewhere out there, there's someone much worse than him sitting down and vowing not to make the same stupid ass mistakes he has made.

      Good point but I don't think this decaying empire is capable of producing someone like that anymore. We're culturally and ideologically down so bad, the privileged class couldn't even mount an argument grand enough to justify what happened today outside of vague ideas of liberty and freedom, not to mention all the #SaveTheChildren pizzagate detached from reality stuff. We've drunk too much of our koolaid. The people who invented this reality are long dead and the only people left are those who believe it. Some Machiavellian type who can seize the moment and capitalize on them is unlikely because, who? From where? Hitler was at least somewhat prominent before he was brought into power.
