How are voters meant to understand how serious things are if in lieu of shouting fire AND going into building with hoses, you're simply posting fire safety suggestions on social media?

Whatever the exact opposite of rising to the moment is, it's what Chuck Schumer will do.
Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

The President unilaterally invades a country, kidnaps its leader, and asserts the US is in control of it. Yet, the media is treating it as a reasonable course of action.
The Overton Window is completely unbounded on one side.

That so much money was made in prediction markets (clearly based on insider information) shows Trump's justification for not consulting Congress (he was worried about leaks) is bullshit.
A side story is there’s a ton of insider trading on these prediction markets. New accounts making hundreds of thousands on their first and only trade, that maduro would be ousted. Seems like insider trading is legal if not encouraged on these platforms

Trump ordering the invasion of a country in an unsecure "room" (it's just black curtains as walls) with his unqualified Secretary of "War" while searching Xitter for "venezuela" is his awful presidency in a nutshell.
