Regarding the Bibi debacle...
At this point, I'm all for standing back and allowing to GOPers to destroy themselves.
Obviously, they should be resisted at all costs, there's nothing to be gained from joining in on their harebrained schemes.
They took the lead on this Bibi invite and it looks like it immediately bit them in their asses. Sweet! Let the fuckers fail.
Plus, while all this drama was happening yesterday, the Weeping Boner needed Democratic votes to save his ass by passing a clean funding bill for DHS. The Teabagger scheme to hold up the funding hostage failed miserably.
That's two cases in one day where the Republicans showed their inability to govern. They've never wanted to govern, we all know that. They just wanted to win. But winning carries consequences with it.
Unlike during Clinton's last term, the GOPeratti don't have any effective "scandals" to pin on President Obama. The worst thing they have is Benghazi, and that's going nowhere, because by the time it can be used as another fundraising scheme for the next election, people will be sick and tired of hearing about it. So, try as they might, they're not going to get as much out of their attempts to deflect attention from their own incompentence by scandalizing Dems as they hoped. They're focused on doing that to Hillary now, but it'll only take them so far.
The next year and a half will be chock full of one Teabagger fueled fuck up after another, simply because Boner has no control over his own caucus. So, why not wait for opportunities where Democrats can capitalize by nudging the Boner to betray the 'Baggers? All the Democrats need to do is sit back and wait for him to come running with his hat in his hand.
It's going to be nothing except more self-inflicted wounds for the 'Baggers, on one artificially induced deadline after another, because they have no real intention of doing their goddamned jobs.
Boner is going to be between a rock and a hard place until he has to hand over the gavel. He'll be lucky if his liver doesn't give out before the end of the year.

They have only two goals: to siphon taxpayer money to the already obscenely wealthy and well-connected, and to destroy the United States gov't (fondly referred by them as "Big Gubmint"
from the inside-out. That's pretty clear to anyone willing to see it.
