I write this not to explain in detail exactly what we need to do to end this ongoing

29. It's unbelieveable

I spent the first year waiting for the cracks in Congressional GOP support. Instead, we saw weak protests and a whole bunch of retirement. I spent the second year shaking my head over the depths of their hypocrisy. All they care about is power.

So my hope is they find some financial crime soon which will also draw a nice arrow pointing to the reason for all of this obstruction and begin impeachment inquiry. When he’s really rattled and refuses to govern, his numbers start to drop. When his numbers start to drop, we will see more Republicans grow a semblance of a spine. At this point, I don’t even care if it takes until the election, I just want to see his numbers drop. In fact, it would be better if it weren’t too dramatic so he doesn’t feel driven to the point of starting a war.

But the other question that has me stressed is why this rightward swing all over the world? I think it’s these virtually stateless billionaires driving income inequality. They’re all in the same club and are really competitive with each other. Faster means of communication has made them more aware of each other and how to best manage structures to increase their wealth. I think we’re going to boomerang to a more effective tyrant unless we do something about this. Income inequality correlates with every social ill, including deaths of despair and, I suspect, a swing towards totalitarianism.
