[Peacetrain]

2. MM what happened... just got back online..

Not near my TV...

[MineralMan]

3. Sundland Happened!

Blew up a big-ass hole in the White House. Or maybe it was a big asshole. I'm not sure.

5. ROFL... he was happening when I got off line an hour or two ago.

4. Some of them will go down with the ship

because they can't or won't believe it's sinking.

"Does it seem a little damp in here?"

"Why are my socks wet?"

"Why are fish swimming down this aisle?"

"That's odd, I smell seawater."

[MineralMan]

6. There are always some casualties.

Can't be helped.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

7. I may have to get this game

[LanternWaste]

8. Naive to think they'll abandon Idiot trump en masse

Critical mass has not yet been reached.

One and a half to two weeks from now, yes. Today? Nope.

[gratuitous]

9. I agree

But once that point of no return happens, it will happen fast. Hard to say just when it might be. We're going into the end of the year holiday season, so some momentum might be lost. But if the House strings things out until January (and it shouldn't be difficult to do so), they can spend some time greasing the skids until then.
