Wahoo - Sort Of

November 6 and 7 were memorable.

First, Democrats regained control of the House of Representatives, by what looks like a reasonably comfortable margin.

Then, Donald Trump demonstrated that he's lost a lot of what was left of his connection to reality by claiming victory in the midterms, and by humiliating Republicans who lost their bids for re-election.

Finally, also on the 7th and within minutes of his press-conference / meltdown, Trump significantly substantiated the idea of his having colluded with Russia or other entities to influence the election in 2016 by firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and appointing Matthew Whitaker, a Trump loyalist, as Acting AG and therefore head honcho of the Mueller investigation.

Shades of Watergate ...
