[National Review] Goodbye to the peaceful transfer of power.

The frenetic opposition to Donald Trump by the Washington establishment, the new progressive, hard-left Democratic party, and in particular the veterans of the Obama administration has led to the ruination of a number of hallowed protocols and customs.

Impeachment has been redefined as a mere vote of no confidence and will become a rank political ploy for years to come once an opposition party gains a majority in the House. It is taking on the flavor of a preemptory device, a vaccination, rather than a medicine, as if to prevent future hypothetical crimes in the absence of current impeachable offenses.

#9  #6 Can I get my ticket now for the next Dem impeachment?

"Can I get my ticket now for impeachment of the next Dem POTUS" would have been a better, less confusing way to state this.

#8  Sure, #6 JohnQC - might at well beat the non-rush. ;-)

#7  "War cry of the eunuchs" - Nice.

There is no "civil war" looming.

90% of this is just theatrics: a buffoonish show that has zero connection to reality.

"Impeachment" that has zero chance of succeeding.

"Resistance" against "Russian aggression" by a party whose leader spent most of 2012 disparaging as "warmongers" and "Cold war fossils" anyone who criticized his "flexibility" re Russia.

It's like listening to Weinstein and Billy Jeff posture as feminists. Oh wait...

#5  Bloody civil war has a tendency to clean out a lot of institutions that thought themselves centers of power and beyond accountability. Humans seem to have a reaction to alter behaviors in such circumstances.

#2  Serious revamping of both the educational system & civil service are in order - but, is it possible?

#1  Sharyl Attkisson; the deliberate nullification of the constitutional treaty-making prerogative of the Senate during the Iran deal, whose secrete accords were never disclosed to the American people; and the warping of the CIA, DOJ, FBI, and National Security Council

Warping? Don't be confused by the natural curvature. It's the way they roll.
