We keep looking at each event in isolation as if we are having a stew and commenting on the potato. How is this related to Ukraine, the recent ‘big deals’ in the gulf states, Syria, attacks on universities and education, travel bans, abductions by masked people, attacks on journalists, demonizing judges, threats of violence (and murders) of politicians who don’t toe the line, threats to neighboring countries, misinformation, centralized personal data by private companies, corruption and grift, the marines stationed in LA, etc.
This act of war on the whim of the president exactly one week after a humiliating military parade is just one dot in a sequence that began before the election. What are the next predictable dots? More purges, more arrests of political opponents, suing more media, alliances with more dictators….?We’re only at the start of a long road that may be leading to the calling off of elections.
I share your fear that Trump will somehow attempt to call off the mid-term elections. The recent actions of the Senate Parliamentarian may be cited as a reason why "the Senate" or "Congress" is "broken beyond repair."
The Parliamentarian of the Senate is chosen by the Senate Majority Leader, in this case John Thune (R-SD). My guess is that Trump is suggesting she be replaced.

We need a common sense civics lesson of how rules work

Very perceptive. Who made her the decider?
