Nemo's comment,
"I think this will do much more damage to the Dems credibility in the next elections."I agree especially when there are congressional hearings on the auto-pen drama and more about this comes out.
Just between us girls, when the Democrat party come to the realization they are screwed for at least two more election cycles, they will unleash the hounds of war later this summer. What will be the Archduke Franz Ferdinand moment?
Phase 7 of Tipping Point and Collapse:> Collapse may be sudden (e.g., a decisive military defeat) or gradual (e.g., slow territorial loss). It can result in total dissolution (e.g., the fall of a capital) or partial decline (e.g., loss of imperial status while the core state survives).
> Glubb emphasizes that collapse is often inevitable once decadence (Phase 6) sets in, as the empire lacks the will or capacity to reverse course.
As a side note, I have picked up James Rawles book, "Patriots" yet again. For you folks who have not read the book or have not read it recently, I suggest you do forthwith.
By the way, let's look at phase 6,
Cultural and Psychological Decay:> The empire loses its sense of purpose or identity. Cynicism, nihilism, or escapism (e.g., through entertainment or vice) dominate the cultural landscape.
> Glubb notes a "frivolity" in this phase, where trivial pursuits overshadow serious challenges, and the elite fail to inspire or lead.
The we also have what Felix we are in the Winter of the Fourth Turning.
