America is a nation of traditions. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Fireworks on the Fourth of July. The President unleashing unhinged rants and unsubstantiated accusations on Twitter. That last one is becoming more and more a part of our nation's fabric every weekend as Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner observe Shabbat and leave an itchy-Twitter-finger-having Donald Trump alone with the terrifying hurricane of paranoid delusions that are constantly swirling in his head. But even for our demagogue-in-chief, this weekend's outburst felt different. It felt like that annoying stray thread finally began to completely unravel the entire sweater. It felt desperate.

Donald Trump's First 100 Days on the @POTUS Account A look at the apocalypse through the President-elect's soon-to-be Twitter account.

First let's set the stage. For the past two weeks, slowly but surely, more and more damaging evidence has been coming out about the Trump, administration's connections to Russia. Late this past week, the most damning bit of information yet was reported. It appears that Jeff Sessions lied under oath during his confirmation hearing to become Attorney General when he said he had no contact with Russia during the campaign, when in fact he reportedly met with Russia's ambassador to the US twice, including while in Cleveland for the Republican National Convention. This led many to call (and continue to call) for Sessions' resignation. That shoe has not dropped, but Sessions did recuse himself from the ongoing investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia. This reportedly infuriated Donald Trump.

Of course, the story was only "bull" in that what Jeff Sessions said under oath sure seems like it was "bull." But this anger from Trump might have contributed to what came next. His near-weekly unhinged rant! (FDR had fireside chats. Trump has "set it on fire" chats.)

It has now been over 24 hours, and Donald Trump has offered not a stitch of proof of anything that he said. The White House for their part issued a statement calling on Congress to investigate the President's (totally unfounded) claims, but not before saying that The White House and the President wouldn't comment further.

Now first, Sean, it's hilarious that you think you can decide what Donald Trump is going to choose to comment on. You don't get to make an unfounded claim and then say, "hey, congress should investigate my unfounded claim, but we will not be providing any proof." That's some crazy bullshit.

Now there are a few possibilities here.
