The division in America has become so dramatic over the past year that many people can only foresee it heading one place: Civil War.

After coming under constant attack from the White House in recent weeks, Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona seems to be launching a renewed counteroffensive against President Trump.  In speaking with Georgia Public Broadcasting earlier today, Senator Flake said that with the way Trump's governing and the "direction he's headed right now, just kinda drilling down on the base rather than trying to expand the base, I think he's inviting [a primary challenger]."  Per The Hill:

Yesterday we posted an epic rant from Mike Rowe on 'logical fallacies' entitled "Mike Rowe Eviscerates "Smug" Snowflake Who Calls Him A 'White Nationalist'".  To summarize, Rowe responded to a Facebook follower who tried to argue that his position asserting that maybe not every high school kid in America needs a $200,000 BA in anthropology essentially proved that he was a "white nationalist."  Can't you see the logic flow?

On Wednesday there were a lot of Trump fans who were celebrating the latest progress in the stock market. For the first time in over 100 years, the DOW gained 4,000 points over the course of 200 working days. That’s 4,000 points since Trump was elected, so it’s easy to draw a connection between the stock market’s dizzying new heights and Trump’s ascent to the White House.
