The constitution’s already gone to my eye. We’re hoping for a Hail Mary via judiciary but likely will ultimately fail since the President, cabinet, & congress support him. He’s got militias to fall back & has most of the cops.

I’m planing for a long hard conflict.

Oh, they both realize that there is a constitutional crisis. The prestige political press looks at it as a money generator, and the opposition party leadership is just too comfortable with the trappings of power. Both are just playing along to get along, hoping that keeps the out of the gulag.

It strains credulity that Dem leadership don't privately understand that Shit Is Fucked, separately from their public messaging, so part of me wonders whether there's other blue-team pieces on the board that are making their moves more quietly

I don't like to personalize things, but, of the 3 co-chairs of Hakeem Jeffries' new "rapid response taskforce", two* are 81 and 74 years old, and the younger one started undergoing treatment for cancer 3 months ago

* Also ranking Democratic members of House Appropriations and Oversight committees
