How do you refer to this current decade?
There's the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and ????

Do you call it the Aughts? The millenium?

7. The Republican Rout
After going wild for eight years, the Republicans got their comeuppance from the progressives.

We are witnessing the end of the Republican party, let's party.

11. Agreed! The irony is almost funny; those corrupting it were saying it's corrupt.
By, of, and for the people, they were only speaking of themselves.
