Lessons In The End of Civilization

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/01/23/john-roberts-comes-face-face-with-mess-he-made/

How do civilizations end, great nations fall, and wars begin?

The "funny" part is that it is really so simple -- the leaders and the population lose their connection to reality, and especially the reality of how very very small each of us is in the scope of the universe, and especially how limited and parochial our "opinions" of this moment are in in vast sweep of history.

So supposedly "Roberts" created the "mess" of money ('influence") in politics! Amazing! A problem as old as Plato, Athens, Rome, and every civilization that has ever existed! Naturally, from the Democrat position, the "problem" is money that isn't supporting them being allowed. The totalitarian state they desire would have no political bickering -- any opposition to their rule would simply be suppressed and exterminated if that didn't quiet it! How clean and simple!

In 1998, the Republicans impeached Bill Clinton because he lied under oath to a Grand Jury. Many people are prosecuted for even inadvertently making false statements to a court (Scooter Libby got a data wrong), it is a felony, and it matters not at all what you give false statements about!

The Democrats decided that they would show their political power by refusing to enforce this obvious crime, thus setting the precedent that even if a president commits a felony, impeachment is PURELY a political (rather than legal or moral) matter!

Now they are making it even more clear, and establishing that the "grounds" are whatever the majority wants them to be!

Milbank, is the definition of a partisan political hack.  This short video gives a great insight into how the Democrat mind works -- just win baby win!
