several guests on the cable news say we are in a Const. Crisis over the past two days. I have heard this term thrown around a lot over the past 6 months but not as much as this week. The shit has hit the fan.

Now the rest off the country is waking up to it.
This fraud worked with Russia to come in second and steal an election as we have sat by complacently and just watched.
Shame on us. This newest Constitutional crisis was simply a matter of time.
