here's some more stuff for those people too stupid to understand that their are gradients of horribleness in politics, and one party has a capacity to do as little for its citizenry as possible, or worse, they actively do things to make American citizens lives worse.

I'd be fine with counting from the cover-up, which would put us at, say, day 3 or 4...?

agreed - that takes us even further back.

I'm open to being persuaded that drumpf has opened the door to nailing him on the 'coverup', vs the underlying 'crimes' - the same path taken to oust Nixon. That approach would give us a more recent countdown start date

It would probably be better for Trump if he was nailed on the coverup rather than the actual crimes. In fact, they may leave him off the hook to do just that. Admitting that our president and/or those close to him have committed treason would probably be worse for the country. I'm half wondering if that's what happened to Chaffetz. Dude has a career on the rise and then suddenly bolts amid rumors of being under russian influence. Maybe they left him off the hook in exchange for flipping on the Trump gang and agreeing to never hold public office again.

Speaking on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Sasse said he was “disappointed in the timing” of Comey’s termination.

“Why do you think James Comey was fired?” John Dickerson asked.

“I’m not sure how this president makes lots of decisions, so I honestly don’t know,” Sasse replied.

He said the way Trump fired Comey “exacerbates the erosion of trust in our institutions.”

“We are in the midst of a civilization-warping crisis of public trust,” Sasse said. “We’re going to need to have some institutions that we can rely on and believe are apolitical, when the public has more and more doubt.”


That erosion of trust isn't a bug, it's a feature, and your whole party has been in on it for years, asshat.

RICHMOND, Virginia - Self-proclaimed white nationalist Richard Spencer led a large group of demonstrators carrying torches and chanting "You will not replace us" Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia, protesting plans to remove a Confederate monument that has played an outsize role in this year's race for Virginia governor.


"What brings us together is that we are white, we are a people, we will not be replaced," Spencer said at an afternoon protest, the first of two rallies he led in the college town where he once attended the University of Virginia.


At the second rally, dozens of torch-bearing protesters gathered in a city park Saturday evening and chanted "You will not replace us" and "Russia is our friend," local television footage shows. Spencer was not shown addressing that gathering, but he tweeted a photo of himself standing in the crowd carrying what appeared to be a bamboo tiki torch.


The evening protest was short-lived. About 10 minutes in, an altercation between Spencer's group and counterprotesters drew police to the scene, and the crowd quickly dispersed, the Charlottesville Daily Progress reported.


The statue has become a rallying cry for Corey Stewart, a Republican gubernatorial candidate. Stewart, who is chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, was chairman of Trump's Virginia campaign until he was fired.

There was no indication that Stewart, who has alienated some supporters with his focus on Confederate symbols, attended either rally. In defending the Confederate battle flag and monuments, Stewart has said that he is not promoting symbols of hate but battling "political correctness" and "historical vandalism."


Stewart did not respond to a request for comment Sunday. He kept a relatively low-profile on Twitter.

a man running for governor wants to perpetuate white supremacy
