Back to when similar predictions were being made about how fast the repubs would start impeachment proceedings against Obama after (1) his election in 2012 or (2) the mid term elections of 2014.

It ranks up there with the October surprise war on Iran threads of 2008. But behind the Karl Rove indictment/24 business hours threads of 2006.

This place can be a real hoot sometimes.
