What do you mean, "what would it look like?" We're living it!

Dmitriy Briskin did you read the article where it defined 'Constitutional Crisis'?

Jason ON I did, and I don't agree with it. Just because it's unfolding in slow motion doesn't mean it's not real.

"Constitutional rot" is a misnomer, and so is "infection." We could call it different words to make ourselves feel better, but we'd be deluding ourselves. Again. Sure we can laugh at Trump's ineffective (so far) attempts to stop Mueller and divert our attention away from actually important things with daily scandals. But I still remember laughing at candidate Trump, then at the nominee.

Yeah, I ain't laughing any more. Trump has already caused the crisis, and the GOP is complicit in undermining every article and amendment of the Constitution that doesn't serve their end goal - total eradication of representative democracy and installing theocracy/corporatocracy.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
