The Emperor has no Clothes and the Sky is Falling Down, what next?

In Opinion

This is burning up the Twittersphere today. From the Op-Ed linked in the tweet:

This isn’t the work of the so-called deep state. It’s the work of the steady state.

Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president. But no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis. So we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until — one way or another — it’s over.

It's not as though a lot of us didn't think this was going on. How could it not be? But now it's out in the open for all to see. The little boy has spoken: "The Emperor has no clothes and we're doing all we can to manipulate his behavior so he doesn't find out he's naked and so he doesn't destroy the Empire." This is no way to run a government.
