The republican party, though is like a typical den of theives who ultimately fail because they only know how to tear down, alien to the business if sustaining anything, so they just keep dismantling and devouring everything they touch with the efficiency of an ant farm in anticipation of the inevitable storm of opposition burst in and puts an end to their crime spree.

Interesting, though how the independence of the Fed is their red line, not the fraud and insurrection they've dismissed.
