call-outs of Democrats. This will calm down soon. We are still in the "stunned, trying to figure out what the hell is going on and why (and who supports what)," phase, so early assumptions will be fevered and emotional. That is why I have not posted about the ongoing situation--still trying to figure it out and get past my immediate (granted negative) reactions.

It will calm down--whether through jury alerts for the worst offenders-- or as everyone figures out the landscape and implications, and the discussions become more analytical (or pragmatic) to support future action.
