We have reached that point in the American experiment where we can directly observe the boiling point of the various elements in our democracy.
For example, Liberals will boil at Obvious Treason. Around 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
Democratic House Leadership will boil at 214 degrees. Obvious Treason...as long as it's done repeatedly in plain sight on national teevee.
By a fun coincidence, Chuck Todd's boiling point just happens to be the same as that of the chemical element antimony. 2975 °F.
And today on Meet the Press, Republican in-your-face perfidy hit 3000 degrees.
Something has happened to Chuck Todd. I view @MeetThePress almost every week. Today his tone — I mean his voice itself — was different, as if the gravity of events had sunk in and his patience with denial had run out. Now go to 0:32 in this clip and watch. pic.twitter.com/e7h7VpxFx5— Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu) October 6, 2019
Apparently, there is a Twaddle Saturation Level beyond which even a professional GOP Talking Point political piss-trough like Chuck Todd will not go.
You know your democracy is cracked right down to the keel when the Political Director for NBC News is top-trending on social media all day long because for one, brief moment, he acted like an actual journalist.
Scientists have yet to discover the point at which Republican base voters will start to vaporize. They theorize that once the temperature reaches what they call the Penguin Threshold -- President Stupid on the White House lawn, machine gunning reporters and bragging about how he played his chumps like a harp from hell --

Bonus footage: John Henry (Arliss Howard) explains exactly why the Beltway media has always despised and ignored Liberal bloggers and podcasters. Of course, since there are no Liberals with deep pockets interested in mounting any real competition to the Beltway media punditocracy there will be no yowza job offers, but the rest of it is spot on.
Behold, a Tip Jar!

Funny, that's what passes for 'meltdown' for Chuck Todd. I'd call it push back. Question, why would Chucky invite Ron Johnson on his show and be surprised he'd be anything but dodgy and argumentative?
Frequently widely utilized GOP Trump defense talking point. Even my GOP congress critter has adopted.
" Democrats letting their Trump hate radicalize them and rush to judgement".
* "Where is Obama's birth certificate" , As Billy Crystal in his well documented video of psychiatric mental heath. Video titled, "Analyze this.
Where Crystal makes the profound observational statement, "YOU WANT A FRESH ONE?".
The rush to judgement espouses are rushing to judgement.
It is as the GOP uses state rights to circumvent laws they want as Federal banning of Abortion while holding in the same brain cell, legal prostitution in Nevada is a state right and nothing they can do.
The morality of taking money from the wealthy casino owners whose tourism relies on that prostitution.
I've said it before, maybe here, certainly on Twitter, but I'll say it again:
His name is Ron Johnson
He comes from Wisconsin
He works in a bullshit mill there...
"Why does somebody always have to bring eggs and tomatoes to a speech?"
Oh YAY!
