Every member of the administration should resign; every Republican in the Senate should demand immediate impeachment and removal. It is not an exaggeration or hyperbole to say that he is an authoritarian bent on destroying American democracy.

It is the third time he has personally ordered an open-ended criminal investigation, each against a perceived political foe.

Or perhaps, get to know Arab/Israeli term Fauda
I think everyone should get to know the west African term “wahala”.
It generally means “chaos”, “confusion”, or “drama”. A clusterfuck.
I’ve been on a mission for years to use it more regularly in my work.
Because—- *gestures at everything*
