Trump just had one of *my* days yesterday.
Nothing of note will really occur until the 2019 House of Representatives takes it's seats. Even then, it's all noise, as the Senate will not convict. And, there will be two more Supreme Court seats filled. The 2020 general election is the next 4T event to look forward to.
Until the next Twitter, that is. Remember Reagan joking that he had ordered nuclear release?
I don't see any of this resolving in any fashion that might be called progress. The game is rigged to favor rural over urban and small states over large ones. As someone noted recently in the NY Times, 50% of the Senate represents 18% of the people. The chance that this will change is a negative number.
So that leaves disaster as the primary motivator … just as it did in the last 4T. I don't see another major war -- too risky. An economic collapse, on the other hand, seems inevitable I may live to see the collapse, but I doubt I'll see the renewal.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
