R's and D's

This is a little late but maybe worth commenting on still. The kerfuffle over the impeachment hearings - which admittedly still manages to smolder on - lacks the perceptive focus exactly where it needs to be: inward and towards the very nature of the system that is proceeding. There is a yawning cavity there, with all of the energy directed outward, toward Russia say, or Ukraine, or even between the Republicans and Democrats. As a result, the system lumbers and grinds on in the direction it has been going, the direction that has led it to this point thus far.
