This morning I phoned my old friend, a Republican former member of Congress.

Me: So what’s up? Is Corker alone, or are others also ready to call it quits with Trump?

He: All I know is they’re simmering over there.

Me: Flake and McCain have come pretty close.

He: Yeah. Others are thinking about doing what Bob did. Sounding the alarm. They think Trump’s nuts. Unfit. Dangerous.

Me: Well, they already knew that, didn’t they?

He: But now it’s personal. It started with the Sessions stuff. Jeff was as loyal as they come. Trump’s crapping on him was like kicking your puppy. And then, you know, him beating up on Mitch for the Obamacare fiasco. And going after Flake and the others.

Me: So they're pissed off?

He: Not just that. I mean, they have thick hides. The personal stuff got them to notice all the other things. The wild stuff, like those threats to North Korea. Tillerson would leave tomorrow if he wasn’t so worried Trump would go nuclear, literally.

Me: You think Trump is really thinking nuclear war?

He: Who knows what’s in his head? But I can tell you this. He’s not listening to anyone. Not a soul. He’s got the nuclear codes and, well, it scares the hell out of me. It’s starting to scare all of them. That’s really why Bob spoke up.

Me: So what could they do? I mean, even if the whole Republican leadership was willing to say publicly he’s unfit to serve, what then?

He: Bingo! The emperor has no clothes. It’s a signal to everyone they can bail. Have to bail to save their skins. I mean, Trump could be the end of the whole goddam Republican party.

Me: If he starts a nuclear war, that could be the end of everything.

He: Yeah, right. So when they start bailing on him, the stage is set.

Me: For what?

He: Impeachment. 25th amendment.

Me: You think Republicans would go that far?

He: Not yet. Here’s the thing. They really want to get this tax bill through. That’s all they have going for them. They don’t want to face voters in ’18 or ’20 without something to show for it. They’re just praying Trump doesn’t do something really, really stupid before the tax bill.

Me: Like a nuclear war?

He: Look, all I can tell you is many of the people I talk with are getting freaked out. It’s not as if there’s any careful strategizing going on. Not like, well, do we balance the tax bill against nuclear war? No, no. They’re worried as hell. They’re also worried about Trump crazies, all the ignoramuses he’s stirred up. I mean, Roy Moore? How many more of them do you need to destroy the party?

Me: So what’s gonna happen?

He: You got me. I’m just glad I’m not there anymore. Trump’s not just a moron. He’s a despicable human being. And he’s getting crazier. Paranoid. Unhinged. Everyone knows it. I mean, we’re in shit up to our eyeballs with this guy.

If you want to believe that it's all false unless somebody agrees to be quoted by name, that's your choice.

I see. You're circle-jerking the same story a few different ways. Notice the date of the article below. You must have watched Morning Joe this morning and figured you circulate it another way.

And who cares if the other article is “old”. Trump is still a dangerous psychopath who should be impeached.

The vanity fair article just came out today. But it was posted to the Trump Alzheimer's thread and I think the adult daycare thread. We have umpteen threads basically pointing out that Trump is not "of sound mind" as Fox News put it today.

Isn't Vanity Fair simply stating the obvious?

Risking nuclear war for a tax plan that would blow up our economy?

The entire lot of Republicans needs to go. Seriously. Dereliction of duty.

Get the money out of politics and raise qualifications for candidates. Start over. I bet they’d be relieved to go.

That's what gives the Reich posting the ring of authenticity.

Hard to do with the current status of our Supreme Court. It's Citizen's United that started this mess with the influx of dark money and the Mercers and Kochs of the world buying up candidates with their hedge fund billions.

It doesn’t seem like they’re much enjoying their jobs as trained but leashed lap dogs.

Meanwhile, I’m thinking What’s the Matter With Kansas will be the story my seven year old reads in some high school class about the fall of the American empire.

If we can afford high school at that point, because at the current trajectory there will be no more public school options.
