The president's Chief of staff. told the Democrats to Get Over It, in the most confusing way. On the one hand, he provided significant new and clarification of old evidence of at least 2 of the most indefensible impeachable offenses. On the other hand, he seemed to be saying to America this as the new normal.

Self Lynching

An unbelievable projected image of self-martyrdom by someone clinging to their position of power. A person who is being hounded by a pack of whistleblowers, and who desperately needs to elicit sympathy from their fanatical, conspiracy believing, racist supporters who need a shred of evidence to activate their support.

All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a Self Lynching.

early-stage fascism

Attempts to develop dictatorial powers by a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist To rule as if there is a one-party government that tries to suppress opposition by rigging the system and intimidation or ignoring the responsibility to represent them. The latest rigging favors a military that protects special interests and the military-industrial complex.

The President is showing early-stage fascism. But it is likely the Senate will make him feel secure doing as he wishes with out a threat of needing to resort to later-stage fascism.

Medicane

An extremely rare hybrid low-pressure system that occurs in the mid-latitude Mediterranean Sea. Medicanes are similar in virtue to a tropical cyclone but have the characteristics of a mid-latitude storm. Medicanes possess a warmer core than most Mediterranean low-pressure systems. Typically the cooler waters of the Mediterranean don't have warm enough water to generate the energy necessary to fuel tropical waves and related thunderstorms that spawn a tropical cyclone. Medicanes have the potential for tropical-storm-force winds, heavy rainfall, and coastal flooding .

Rare storms like a Medicane may become more common if climate change makes the Mediterranean Sea warmer.

staying woke

To continually be mindful of important issues of racial, gender, ethnic, cultural, social and economic justice. To raise the social and cultural consciousness

For many staying woke has created a collective social consciousness that has protected marginalized groups and communities. For a small segment who doesn't have a clue as to what staying woke means, they have devolved into a divisive call-out culture which has created a new form of social divisiveness.
