I agree with you, and the sentiment expressed on Reddit. But, I am nonetheless feeling relief this morning, because I believe I can feel the end game here. Yeah, moments have come and gone, time and again, and Trump just keeps on ticking.

But, especially with Woodward's book I feel we will not be able to so easily let the truth slide into the archives of yesterday's news. I thought I detected turning points before, and they were not turning points. But all that has transpired in the last 48 hours, and Woodward's book #1 before it's even on the shelves, and even though as much attention has been focused on the "cowardness" of anonymity, as much or more so than what its content says about the dangerous man in the Oval Office, what's important to me is that the truth of the matter, that some of us have known or suspected was the case since the day Trump descended the escalator in Trump Tower, that truth will not be effectively denied or buried under Trump's avalanche of alternative facts. I'm feeling a kind of "at last, at long last" feeling of relief.

I envy you. I wish I had that feeling. For me it's bigger than trump. Dumping donnie is, certainly, a stop the bleeding move. And necessary... but he couldn't have done half the damage if his party members didn't cooperate and agree. Putting this all on his shoulders merely makes him a scapegoat in the GOP's eyes... they'll learn nothing and overlook the fact that they made mistakes, too, and keep plugging along. They'll keep their public's trust merely because they're conservative.

Maybe I'm just impossible to please, but I want more. I want ownership from end to end.

Well, we have a long struggle ahead, as reactionary forces are in the ascendency while cultural and demographic trends are going in the other direction. A solid conservative majority on the Supreme Court is not a good development, but in the long run, reactionary forces will fail. Yes, that's easy for me to say, but I believe that. I will not live to see it, however. This struggle will extend well past my lifetime. So I need to focus on the short term goal of removing Trump. At this point all I hope for is to live long enough to witness that.

The GOP sold whatever souls they had, as far as I am concerned. If there is any justice they will reap their just reward for having cowered in the face of a man that has assaulted our institutions and driven divisiveness to heights not seen since the Civil War. They will reap their just reward for what they are doing.

But it is likely a generations long struggle. I don't think for one minute that the forces in our society that Trump helped to ascend will just go quietly into the night once he is no longer president. So I tell the youngsters in my family to carry on the struggle. The Good will out. This I believe.
 
I think the true turning point comes in November. That's when the Republicans will be able to throw their hands in the air and say "The Democrats ousted Trump from office and there was nothing we could do about it." That way they don't completely lose the support of Trump's most rabid supporters.

Bartlesville, OK – A Bartlesville man has been arrested after he accidentally burned down his home by attempting to burn a pair of Nike sneakers in protest of the latest Colin Kaepernick Ad.
According to authorities, Jason Helms, 26, placed a pair of Nike sneakers in his garage and soaked them in Kerosene before lighting them on fire and filming it with his iPhone. The fire ended up spreading to the garage walls and ceiling before spreading to his actual home. Helms called 911 but by the time firefighters arrived they were unable to save his home.

I clicked on the link and got an "account suspended" message. How could that happen when it's a usatoday link I wondered. So I did a google news search and discovered the story is actually a hoax:

Wasn’t sure where to put this, but this is a main political thread so it fits.

Some of you have probably seen the Kamala Harris video where it appears Kavanaugh is talking about birth control. The video Harris posted has Kavanaugh saying this: “Filling our the form would make them complicit in the provision of abortion-inducing drugs”

Now what Kavanaugh actually said was this: “They said filling out the form would make them complicit in the provision of abortion-inducing drugs.” Makes a world of difference.

Sad that Harris would purposefully exclude those two words.
