Is Trumps epic downfall coming soon? Watch your phone -- By Mark Morford

[madokie]

Are you one of the millions of Americans facing a new and sickening peril? It’s called “home screen fatigue,” and it’s what happens when the relentless firehose of Trump-stabbed news alerts seem to turn your device into a single-minded spigot of misery and moral dread, interspersed with the weather.

As someone working in (well, near) MSM for nearly two decades, I’m probably more of a glutton than most: I currently allow more than a dozen news and culture outlets to throw alerts onto my iPhone’s home screen, from the NYT to WaPo, Slate to Apple News, and I can fully attest: reaching for the thing every morning has become a bit like inhaling a fistful of broken glass for your first morning yawn. And that’s before I open my Twitter feed. Holy god.

It’s easy to feel trapped, crushed, overwhelmed. It is easy to wish to avoid the frantic, newly supercharged media entirely, going so far as to turn it all off and go play in the woods lest your soul shrivel into a numb raisin of quivering dread.

Here’s my advice: Don’t do it. Not completely. Not just yet. Because you might miss something good. Really good.

1. I had pretty much given up on MSNBC and other cable news.

Now it's on in the background whenever I'm home -- waiting for the bomb to go off.

Waiting for the "Trump resigns" banner.

2. These things rarely occur the way we expect.

So maybe it will be something like, "Trump Takes A Leave Of Absence" to reassess FBI findings. Pence will be in charge and then a month later, Trump's resignation will be thrown out almost as an after-thought.

3. I like that scenario and it would probably appeal to him..n/t

4. True. But.....

Knowing Trump's history, it will be loud and grand and fast. AND everyone else's fault.

Also, he will publicly delude himself that he won.

If you haven't caught the PBS Frontline piece on him, check it out. They interviewed some people who were associated with his Atlantic City debacle. It's pathological with him. He insisted his massive failure, that serious people warned him about, was actually a good thing.

This sending out his people to tell bald faced lies about vote counts and crowd sizes are all part of his delusions.

The guy is a head case. For real.

7. Maybe he will ride an escalator going UP. nt

5. Same here.

It's on almost around the clock.

6. Don't hold your breath. nt

8. The closing PP ...

And oh, that RussiaGate. In my daily skim of all those voices and channels, investigations and Twitter sub-threads, one thing becomes gloriously clear: The noose is tightening. The vultures are beginning to circle Trump’s little cardboard fortress, from Devin Nunes to Mike Flynn, Kushner to Manefort, Bannon to, well, just about anyone who’s willingly been in the same room with Trump for more than 10 minutes.

This is the “good” news, inside a horror-show of bad. The center cannot hold, because there was no center to begin with. Trump isn’t unraveling, because he was never remotely raveled. It was always just a matter of time until some feral collusion of federal intelligence, civic disquiet, deep reportage and vulgar revelation about Russia, his taxes, his sexual abuses, his mob connections, or any of a hundred other festering scandals and moral perversions all joined together to take him out of office. And, with all due luck and journalistic skill, that time is fast approaching.

9. You introduced me to Morford

Love his writing

10. With Republicans in control it's going to drag out for months or years.

Any major revelation will be like the myriads of recent bombshell revelations
They will all be ignored and swept under the rug
Unless Republicans see their agenda blocked there will be no serious action against Trump.

11. It will have to be truly horrific

For them to let anything happen.

12. How about ."Trump wins 'Survivor". Will be placed on remote island"
