While I appreciate everyone's good work on documenting the con artistry of these people (hat tip to Taibbi & other SubStackers), there comes a time when we must start having a different dialog. Each day is another revelation in the moral depravity of our business and political class (often one and the same), but with each step we are further mired in The Swamp.

Bottom feeders on both sides of the aisle are corrupt beyond any hope of redemption. It's time to stop crying woe is me and start asking ourselves how we can oversee a peaceful national divorce, if that is even possible.
