The fever has broken...

[kentuck]

America has been a patient in a very serious condition for the last two months. Today, with the Nunes dash to the White House and the Schiff declaration that there was now more than circumstantial evidence, the patient batted her eyes and appeared to be coming out of unconsciousness.

1. I'm scared shitless. nt

5. The next few weeks, maybe months, are going to be very rough

so if you don't have nerves of steel, consider switching the broadcast news off for the duration and just get your information in print, either a digital subscription to one of the decent newspapers left in this country or just reading here and there online, starting with the BBC.

If you do have nerves of steel, join me in a nightly bowl of popcorn. I'm going through a short nutritional yeast binge, makes the popcorn taste cheesy and gives me a lot of B vitamins in the bargain.

7. I chase my popcorn with bourbon. I take breaks, watching stuff like this .....m

14. I just finished watching a very, very long costume drama

about the British Civil Wars and the miserable rule of Oliver Cromwell that got people so disgusted with an incompetent and repressive theocracy that the Restoration (which did most people little good except get rid of the Presbyterians in a lot of the chapels) was done quickly and almost as an afterthought.

A palate cleanser is "Rude Britannia," a series about hundreds of years of scurrilous political art, music, and popular culture that makes me feel like a rank amateur even on sites that haven't had language prissified by the resident SJWs. I can no longer really let fly here.

You Tube is an amazing place and one I've had to rely on heavily since TCM started to suck.

15. what was the costume drama? That's my 2nd favorite English era?

8. Great idea! I need to pick up some nutritional yeast.

6. We should all be. Their long-term plans are no longer long-term...whatever the end game is

will be rushed. That is where it can get dangerous for all of us.

[enough]

2. We ain't seen nothing yet. NT

3. If they reacted like this to Comey's testimony...

You're right

[roamer65]

9. Yep. It's early 1973 yet.

17. The deaths I have been predicting are more likely now

Since the day he was elected (*cough*, *cough*) I have been asserting that once he is unmasked, our new overlords will drop all pretense and kill people openly so we know who's boss. I originally thought it would happen within 30 days, but they are too disorganized and hateful to garner the support they need to pull it off.

I am convinced we will prevail in the long term. But now that the pressure is on them and they are getting cornered, there is going to be some innocent bloodshed.

4. An interviewee on CNN said how he witnessed Nunes pouring gas on himself and lighting the match

It has been an amazing day.

[roamer65]

10. I'm guessing the "smoking gun" is treason level and Nunes saw it and is involved.

[dawnie51]

11. This idiot Nunes seems to be really ignorant.....

all he accomplished by his little stunt today was to implicate himself in this madness. Either he's an active participant in the matters being investigated, or he is just a fool who is trying to ingratiate himself with the orange anus by giving him fore warning of the ton of crap that's about to hit him. Either way, not smart.

12. Let's also hope the launch codes are kept away from 45 nt

[kentuck]

13. For real.

I hope Mattis is doing his job?

[Horse with no Name]

16. an earlier post said he was surrounding himself with Obama people

so that gives me some comfort.

[Maru Kitteh]

18. That is encouraging. Perhaps he is getting ready for

the inevitable removal of Trump, building a steady, sane island in the middle of the madness.

One hopes.
