I see nothing funny about death threats to someone who blew the whistle on the most corrupt deed in American foreign policy ever. Basically, help me get re-elected by finding dirt on family members of a likely opponent... if you want the military aid you need for standing up to an aggressive neighbor.

We are now in the most dangerous time in American politics since the Civil War. There is no humor possible in such danger.

The real questions to ask are two:

1. If the impeachment appears to be threatening to Trump, and that's still an open question, will he react by doing something both unpredictable and dangerous?
   
2. If yes to item 1, will the Congress -- especially the GOP members -- do anything to stop him?
   

I can't say I'm sanguine about either question.

Indeed, he just abandoned the Kurds to their fate, without warning, and congress expressed disapproval and threatened sanctions on Turkey, and then lost their nerve. That could be a model of future similar behavior of whatever kind.
