The Inflection Point Is Here: The revolt of the courts meets the mutiny of Senate Republicans.

3. "politically, the vote of no confidence against a disastrous and needless war will be real."

IMO, there are three primary drivers of events over the next twelve months:

1. The felon is incapable of ending the war. He is incapable of sucking up the loss.

2. As the war/stalemate continues, domestic and international harms will escalate, ultimately becoming utterly unsustainable. (And it will continue. While a no confidence vote will be a rebuke the likes of which could send him into complete psychopathic/narcissistic decompensation, he will veto it.)

3. Sooner or later, a growing number of trumpublicans in the House and Senate will "get" 1 and 2, and recognize that the only "way out" is to push trump out.

If enough wake up to reality to vote to remove, the threat will be "Save face and resign for whatever reason you want, or you will be removed. There are enough of us now."

If that were to come to pass, I'd bet he would continue to delude himself that "they'd never do that" and force their hand.

And if I were a betting person, I would bet that after a rout in the mid-terms, as we come up on the one-year anniversary of his criminal war it will be clear the situation cannot be allowed to continue -- that he must go, one way or another.
