Wow, who coulda seen this coming?

 Not since the dark days of the Civil War and its aftermath has Washington seen a day quite like Wednesday.

In a Capitol bristling with heavily armed soldiers and newly installed metal detectors, with the physical wreckage of last week’s siege cleaned up but the emotional and political wreckage still on display, the president of the United States was impeached for trying to topple American democracy.

There was the horrific year of 1968 when the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated while campuses and inner cities erupted over the Vietnam War and civil rights.

Yup, the closest we’ve seen is 1968 when the Repubs, and their terrorist groups and assassins, had the country crippled with their illegal war and their assassinations of Dems and blacks, after they’d killed JFK in 1963. Now, they’re(R) back.
