Will SOMEONE in this godforsaken Congress actually take their oath to protect and defend the United States constitution with the same degree of seriousness as every person in Minneapolis?

Giving in to a force of heinous evil is one thing, but giving in to a force of heinous evil that is also a total goat rodeo is another altogether. It's pretty hard to rationalize the second one as anything but setting yourself up for disaster.

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender

Whatever the immediate fallout of the scandal, what is going to stick around is the impression it gives, of hapless idiots doing ridiculous things. And I think that seriously reduces the appeal of capitulating to these jokers.

The regime showing everyone in real time just how weak and afraid they are.
This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

Reality keeps asserting itself whether we’re ready or not. We are watching sea urchins collapse across oceans, another reminder that Earth systems don’t care about our attention, consensus, or permission. A dramatic rethink of security has never been clearer.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.
