    We're witnessing the death of the GOP. How much of the country can they take down with them?

We should be witnessing the death of the GOP. I don't buy that we are, because Reagan should have been the death of the GOP, and Gingrich should have been the death of the GOP, and Dubya should have been the death of the GOP, and the tea party revolution should have been the death of the GOP, and not only is the GOP not dead it keeps getting worse. The American Taliban isn't going to die until its base does which, granted, they're working on.

We should (and might!) be witnessing the death of the entire two-party system*. This just isn't acceptable. Anyone not in the top 0.7% or whatever is openly being swindled, at this point, and yeah, we have to start asking some really hard questions.

I was somewhat consoled by the Senate proceedings. What they shared today is only what they're comfortable disclosing right now. This thing is going to rapidly escalate over the course of the next several months. Anybody else scared?

*Edit: and I know Putin loves that I feel like that.
