"To make an avalanche takes more than one tumbling rock. Still, the pro-Ukraine, anti-Trump vote in the House is a very, very big rock.

Frum cites other examples of "tumbling rocks" auguring poorly for the Malignant Loser (we'll be less optimistic for a change and say, at this point, he'll be in a close race with President Biden come November). But, this was a victory for Ukraine and democracy, two things the Malignant Loser has no use for, and it was accomplished in a fairly extraordinary way considering the nature of the cult and what happens to people who defy the cult leader.
