> [@Locrian](#): > > So who inserted that link in there? 😃 That is hilarious. My guess: he accidentally left out the space, so Twitter parsed it as a url. Someone noticed that and quickly registered the domain, putting up the awesome web page. Giuliani hasn’t noticed, or doesn’t care, or something. ---

[ **Mueller Is Laying Siege to the Trump Presidency** _It won’t be a single news event that takes down the president._](https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/12/no-single-news-event-will-take-down-trump/577264/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheAtlantic+%28The+Atlantic+-+Master+Feed%29) > [@](#): > > …There is no sudden bend in the path of the investigation. There is no house of cards. The dominoes will not fall if gently tipped. The administration is not going to come crashing down in response to any single day’s events. The architecture of Trump’s power is more robust than that. > > We need to stop thinking of it as a fragile structure waiting for the right poke to fall in on itself. Think instead of the myriad investigations and legal proceedings surrounding the president as a multi-front siege on a walled city that is, in fact, relatively well fortified. > > Siege warfare is not a matter of striking precisely the correct blow at the correct moment at a particular stone in the wall. It is a campaign of degradation over a substantial period of time. While those inside the fortified city may rely only on the strength of their walls and their stored resources, the attackers can take their time. Volleys of projectiles—arrows or trebuchets—pepper the city walls and those atop them, while the strength of the defending army diminishes as soldiers slip away and food dwindles. Moreover, active conflict is an episodic, not a constant, feature of siege warfare; the enemy army can encamp outside the walled city and blockade it without firing a shot. Over time, the walls and defending forces become degraded to such a degree that the invaders are able to scale the walls and sack the city. > > No, Mueller and his forces are not a Mongol horde, but the Trump White House is very much under siege. > … Good article (and long). Puts things in perspective. Makes me smile. I’m going to quote another relevant piece of the article over in the “Would anything convince” thread. ---
