I wonder if all the rage is really about their fear that what they started will come back to haunt them. They tried a former president, which had never been done. Then SCOTUS said sure, you can do that, but you must pass this three tier test. "Before you pass this bridge you see, answer me these questions three."

We have this supreme court because Harry Reid chose the nuclear option. One of the defining characteristic of children is that they lack the ability to imagine what consequences might result from their current actions. I think when choosing hyper lawfare against Trump they weren't thinking about any future consequences. The long game is well worth playing if you play it well.
We give them credit, usually rightfully so, for playing the long game especially involving cultural issues. But over the last few years it's seemed more like they're burning everything down with no thought for the future.
In some ways, it's like an NFL team that feels they're so close to getting to and winning the Superbowl that they put everything, even mortgaging their future, to win RIGHT NOW.
I think they felt like they were so close to winning it all and having permanent, total control that everything could be justified in that light. Win, and nothing else matters. That also explains why every setback for them is cataclysmic and world shattering. They CAN'T lose. They've broken the rules and destroyed the processes going all in. If they lose, there's nothing left for them.
Which makes them even more desperate and dangerous.
Right Jason. Love your 'about to win the superbowl' analogy. Really fits.
Your final sentence really struck me. Desperate and dangerous indeed. We should be on our guard. A cornered animal is much more dangerous, and this beast is backing itself into a corner.
Indeed. Watching the presidential hostage negotiate stage and stairs, I keep thinking of the "ministry of silly walks" and John Cleese's brilliant physical comedy. When real life starts mirroring the Pythons, we really have reached DEFCON: Farce.

I think the devil knows his time is short and is trying to create as much chaos as possible while he still can. He's desperate.
Excellent points!
Monty Python! Lol!!!
