It’s a big week for American history:

But CNN analyst Asha Rangappa isn’t in a celebratory mood, unfortunately:
Thanks, guys — it was great while it lasted https://t.co/TkF9pGxjWx

Neither is Rangappa’s CNN colleague, national security and legal analyst Susan Hennessey:
It all seemed like an very good idea on paper.

That’s it, everybody. Go home. America’s as good as dead.
No joke, Asha.

Oh my God, that is so depressing! ?

75% of the public cares more about their weekend BBQ than the state of our democracy. Sad.

I wanted to laugh along with your joke, but ended up crying instead.

Please don't make me cry so early in the morning.

Feel that rumbling underfoot? It’s these guys rolling over in their graves

The sad part is all of these old white men that are making this happen will die off before the really bad part kicks in.

We lose our speech, equality, access to heathcare, and likely social safety nets – but we still have our guns! Yeehaw!

I've wanted a Constitutional Convention for years.
Party like it's 1791. Guillotines and all.

Oooookay.

Resisting with class!
Why I am hearing taps ?

Because your grasp on reality is slipping? Seriously, these people need to get a grip.
We've got an embarrassment in the White House. But there was an election last year, and another one in 2020. Calm down.

I think Trump is doing a lot of dumb things…but the constitutional process IS WORKING.
People seem to think the constitutional process is devoid of conflict; in fact, its built to SUSTAIN CONFLICT between the three branches, in an organized manner.
That is what is happening.

Now, if there is a real constitutional crisis (like Trump ignoring an order from SCOTUS) then give me a call.
Otherwise… pic.twitter.com/mzLpmiSNFh

These are children that fainted when their parents told them they weren’t getting dessert.
