This has gone way past political points, very quickly. This is throwing the entire global strategic calculus into chaos.

This needs an endgame. Now. A nuclear power can't have this kind of uncertainty.

They selfishly want to hold onto their jobs while making the self-absorbed assumption that only 'they' can save the country from this dangerously unfit President. The group of them ought to call the media tomorrow morning and march down to Congress to demand Trump's impeachment. Or do what they need to do to invoke the 25th. They need to do what Nike has prescribed for decades. They swore an oath and need to put country over their own self-interests. Just do it.

one another. Fortunately, for us, they do not play well together. The op-Ed will make Twitler even crazier than he is already and the writer will spend every day looking over his shoulder wondering if he's been found out. They truly deserve one another.

By working to advance Trump's agenda and shielding his idiocy from the public, the Op-Ed writer is working for Trump's reelection.
