Two Crises: One at Home and One Abroad

The first, with Articles of Impeachment sitting on the desk of Nancy Pelosi, waiting for some type of plan from McConnell and Schumer. The crisis being that one branch of Congress, the Senate, refuses to look at the evidence and refuses to call witnesses that might say something detrimental about Donald Trump. The crisis being that the Constitution is being challenged and corrupted by these Republicans in the US Senate.

The second, with the assassination of the leader of the Revolutionary Guard of Iran. It has united Iran against us, with threats and votes to throw American troops out of Iraq. The crisis being that if US troops are forced from Iraq, it will open up the area for re-newed violence and the re-appearance of ISIS, who coincidentally, was almost wiped out by the militias under General Soleimani, the same general assassinated by Donald Trump.

How many more crises can we handle? There's a loose cannon rolling recklessly around the deck.
