Zeno's "Constitutional Crisis"

     According to the enlightened "alfa-humans" nightly contextualizing @MSNBC, we are weekly, and even sometimes daily, getting ever closer to the fear-gripping world crisis that Trump is inevitable going to deliver.  Closer, and closer, but never quite there, it is obvious that we will have only gotten "THERE", when they report that we are "THERE".  Likely, this day will not come.  Half of the population is A-Political, which in today's "on the brink culture" means A-Conscious", and the remaining half are divided at the deepest epistemological level about meaning and values.... but, as it turns out, "everyone" just dearly loves their present lifestyle.  No boat rockers on board.  The A-Conscious people have no idea that they are on a boat, the Trumpers have rationalized that this boat offers the ride of their lives, and the liberals are so timid that they are only able to mildly scare themselves by obsessing about the boat's durability.

     There is of course some chance that Rachel is Right and that the "Great Crisis" will come to past.  A few of the more daring liberal pundits, David Frum, Paul Krugman, etc., seem convinced that "the sooner the better" is better, and are openly fanning the crisis fire.  Most, however, are content to await their next Salvation Event. Currently they are really hoping for the Special Council to deliver a late inning home run.  If they don't get it, well,  they will tearfully shift their hopes to the mid-term elections.  If that fails or it proves hollow, as almost surely it will,  (Trump + DOJ trumps Congress) then they will find some new Lancelot...maybe they will make Michael Avenatti the President in Exile.

     Regardless, no one is going to the mat over bribery, extortion, treason, gun control, racism, misogynic ism, torture, or any other moral aberration.  Nuclear Winter, Weaponized Ebola, Extreme Ecology...those are another matter. #MSNBC
