Agreed.  People, mostly of my party, seem to be celebrating this moment as what shall be predetermined as the fall of Trump.  I don't think so and, in fact, caution them from celebrating so hard and so fast.  I do this for a number of reasons not the least of which is the understanding that justice is not swift.  It never is.  It took two years between the Watergate break-in to when Nixon resigned.  It wasn't a matter of days, weeks or months.  It was years.

I also mention the "echo chamber effect" insomuch as just because you disagree with something so strongly and with such conviction that all of your friends do as well, that doesn't mean that's the perception of the general populace.  We saw that with the election, no? Where the firing of Comey may be the final domino for some, it doesn't amount to a hill of beans for others.  

Finally, I'll make a cautionary statement: be careful what you wish for.  Mike Pence is no gem.  He's an ideologue.  He's a guy that will appear better than Trump simply because he's in the shadows, doesn't wear his opinions on his sleeve (at least not as much as Trump) and, more importantly, is not Trump.  But he's every bit as dangerous and, I dare say, more so than Trump because he can get things done given the highest position in the land.  He's a politician.  He knows how to game the system and work things to his advantage.  You may replace the devil you know with one you don't and, quite frankly, that scares the shit out of me more than having to deal with shitty Tweets and absurd, irrational decisions that are made in the open. 

Landslides are not slow. They are swift, uncaring and devastating.  I do not think that the Comey firing or anything that Trump has done will prove to be as fast as some may desire.  Our only political equivalent is Watergate and it took two years, TWO YEARS, between the break-in and Nixon's resignation, for things to change.  That's not a landslide or mudslide.  That's lava.  Slow.  Methodical.  Unstoppable.  

Don't get swept up in the notion that Trump will be out by the end of the summer let alone by the end of the year.  This is a battle, not the war, and it will take as much time as it takes.  So I'd advise to gird yourself for the long game rather than tally a win for every misstep or downright stupid thing the administration does.  

Trump's window is closing... and its not 4 years. 

Trump recently stated that he missed his old life. Maybe he's actually trying to get impeached so he can get back to that life.

Something tells me sometime soon he will be impeached or forced to resign.

-C!
