The beginning of the end.
I had bet on 18 months before a theatrical end to this neo-authoritarian, purely spectacular, regime. It will be shorter than that.

We can expect more drama but the outcome is pretty much set.
Some rats (e.g. Chaffetz) have already swam away from the sinking ship. More will follow shortly.
