“Ah say, ah say…two wrongs don’t make a right, boy” said Sen. John Kennedy* (R-La.).
Fixed to help the Oxford and law school alumnus with his rube voters.
So the Republicans are finally admitting they were wrong?
They appear to be afraid of what these hearings might reveal, don’t they?
What comes around goes around, assholes.
“This is outrageous! How dare you treat us the way we treat you!!”
As we say in Brazil… Pepper on someone else’s eyes is eye drops.
Every bit as wrong as delaying confirmation of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. They recognized that wrong when they confirmed Amy Coney Barrett, with much soul-searching as to how wrong they were. And delaying confirmation of a justice will stay wrong until the next time a Supreme Court justice dies or resigns in the final 12 months of a Democratic president’s term. It might still be wrong, but only in hindsight (and until that situation arises again). It’s all very consistent.
IOW, IOKIYAR. “Just because we wouldn’t let you speak, doesn’t mean you get to do the same.”
I hate these guys.
Senate floor. The Senate doesn’t meet on the House floor.
The House has been debating kicking out George Santos today, which has been entertaining. Matt Goetz spoke in defense of Santos, but actually said at one point, “I’m not defending the actions of George Santos…whoever he is…”
“I guess Sen. Durbin isn’t going to allow women to speak either. I thought that was sacrosanct in your party.”
Durbin could’ve then pointed out that we all thought it was sacrosanct to Conservatives that women know their place, and therefore instruct Blackburn to go make him a sammich.
Oh boy, watching that video - the outrage! Oh, what a terrible precedent is being set here! It’ll destroy the institution! If you do this, we’ll make sure to use it against the Democrats in the future! What’s that, it’s a precedent set by us, the Republicans? Well… two wrongs don’t make a right.
It’s hilarious how that was the threat the Republicans were making - until they realized it had already “come around.”
Perhaps. But it does make a proportional response.
It is utterly disgusting how ready these people are to weaponize decency. They seem particularly ready to do it when they can accuse democrats of misogyny.
…and there it is. They finally admit they want to apply two entirely different sets of rules depending on who is in power.
You mean the final 48 months of a democratic president’s term?
Yes, that’s exactly what the Chairman is saying. Shut the fcuk up. Nobody wants to hear your whining anymore.
Yeah they pretty much run on cynicism and despair so are always looking for proof everyone else in the world is just as pathetic and gross as they are.
