Trump has been trying to govern by impulse, on whim, for personal retribution, for profit, by decree ― as if he had been elected dictator. It doesnt work, and the wheels are coming off the bus. After a week!
Impeachment is gaining ground because it is the only way to get him out, and because Republicans are already deserting this president in droves, and because the man is psychiatrically incapable of checking whether something is legal before he does it.
Impeachment is gaining ground because its so horribly clear that Trump is unfit for office. The grownups around Trump, even the most slavishly loyal ones, spend half their time trying to rein him in, but it cant be done.
They spend the other half fielding frantic calls from Republican chieftains, business elites and foreign leaders. Trump did what? Poor Reince Priebus has finally attained the pinnacle of power, and it cant be fun. It is one thing to live in your own reality when you are a candidate and its just words. You can fool enough of the people enough of the time maybe even to get elected. But when you try to govern that way, there is a reality to realityand reality pushes back.
Heehee! Love it!

(901 posts)1. Republicans are already deserting this president in droves...
Seeing some of this, but how much? I'm hoping it's substantial!
