Lord Dampnut, the Doucheviks and the whole GOPhux have "crossed the Rubicon." That is, they are "all in," and they're not backing up a single fucking step. They have taken measures from which there is no way back.
And Woody'z pretty sure that our vaunted, touted 'System of Checks & Balances'--which have done fuck all, so far, to restrain Lord Dampnut--won't save us, this time, because they CANNOT: they were never devised to deal with such a scenario as this... We, the most powerful Empire ever to bestride the planet, have "shit the bed." We have done that for which there is NO "undoing." There's the old adage...
Ol' Pal and worldly observer Prof. Wombat (Michael Kempster) opined:
"(T)he Constitution and the law have proven themselves utterly inadequate to stop a determined, ruthless, relentless minority party from seizing control of every lever of power in the country.
"And a constitutional convention, which would again be constitutional if called by the states under Republican control, would be the death of the republic, nothing less."
And folks call me a "fatalist" and a "nihilist" and a "cynic" and a "pessimist" for harboring--and worse, expressing--similar observations and conclusions.
But it seems to me one would have to be willfully ignoring the signs and portents NOT to have such concerns...NOT that there is anything ANYBODY can do about it.
And, anyway, what could possibly go wrong?
