    Good. Republicans don’t play by the rules. Democrats shouldn’t either.

    P.S Biden is still a pussy for not having the entire supreme court thrown into jail for “national security” reasons.

      Republicans lie and cheat to advance their agenda, I’m glad Joe finally bent some rules to accomplish nothing for Americans.

          I’m saying they’re accomplishing long term gains towards their objectives.

            The wording didn’t reflect that so I was teasing. Should I have added a :P?

      When no one plays by the rules anymore, and people on both sides accept that, your democracy is dead and buried.

        Why is that onus is on the Democrats only? What did they achieve by taking the high road all this time?

        The supreme court put Bush in office in 2000. Democracy has been dead and buried for decades. It’s just theater at this point

      I give Democrats zero credit for “not playing by the rules” when that means petty corruption like this instead of anything meaningful
