The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Sure, all of that is possible, but more so I meant that his presidency has given form to previously uncollected or sublimated political sentiments that will now shape the future of both parties. There will be no going "back to normal," for better or for worse and no matter how much mainstream politicians want to do so. I think yesterday is a testament to that.
The second is that blaming this on Donald Trump isn’t just too simplistic, it’s whistling past the graveyard of our norms. Of course, he egged on his crowd to go up to the Capitol and be loud and irritating. But he didn’t tell them to break down doors and crash the gates, and he didn’t need to. Blaming this on Trump assumes this type of attitude will go away when Trump himself does. That’s way too easy — it’s wishful thinking. The iconoclasm of the right is a real development, and it is here to stay. You’ll wish for the old man in the tricorn hat waving a Cato Constitution when you see the new right blasting statues with graffiti.

A party of the right that rejects the mob of people who spent their hard-earned, working-class money to drive to Washington, D.C., and wave a flag as deplorables will never win, or deserve to, any more than a party of the left could reject naming something Black Lives Matter plaza.
who knows maybe there will be another big terrorist event from foreigners for Americans to rally around together
that could harness the anger of the mass of slobs

100%. Can't Deny Me will forever be viewed as a failed experiment, and he would never muster enough support to extensively tour the South moving forward.
Im not sure Can't Deny Me will be viewed as a failed experiment at all. He has a rabid fanbase, what happened yesterday is a proof of that.
He eroded Pearl Jam enough to strip them of national power, and elevated drummers within the band that will continue to limit its musical maneuverability and repel stone's ideas. Beyond the white whale song requests, his “rabid fanbase” is just a group of idiots that go to all his concerts and buy his shitty merch

Yes, believing Trump is "over" is extremely wishful thinking.
yep. if the GOP doesn't want him, he'll just run as an independent. or more likely, start his own party.

Agreed Trumpism has woven itself in, I was responding more so to the comments that his political career was over.

Fuck her. And fuck all these republicans who are just beside themselves over what happened and are standing up to him. They’ve had four years to do the right thing and have chosen to ignore that EVERY time. They wait until he’s got one foot out the door, then grow a spine. What he did yesterday was absolutely nothing different than what he did all thru his term as president. Hell, even before. So fuck every one of those spineless hypocrites
