stopthatgirl7GOP Melts Down As Dick Durbin Uses Their Tactics For Advancing Biden Judges
"It's called precedent," the Senate Judiciary Committee chair said of violating the same rule that Republicans ignored to move forward with judicial nominees.
NastybutlerIt’s about time Dems started using the same tactics the GOP uses. Whiny hypocrites can’t stand when the tables are turned.
Hear fuckin hear my friend! It’s about damn time!
HubertManneStill I understand why they hesitate. It basically drags our government permanently into shitty behavior. This is why they don't start this stuff but reluctantly utilize it. You don't want to be known as the guy going for the balls but if that is how the opponent is going to fight whelp then I guess we are ballers.
Democracy is a fist fight. I’ve grown tired watching Democrats spend their time wringing hands and clutching pearls.
THIS? This is good stuff. Get in the fray, fight for what’s right, for us, for results. I’m enjoying this.
This is a good opportunity to do it, and very calculated. Skipping the discussion portion would have no impact as it wouldn’t have changed the vote, and it’s the third discussion, so two already occurred. Its a “safe” way to demonstrate rules can’t be dodged by one side.
StumblinbearI think until anyone in government sees consequences of their actions then nothing will change. If it’s used against them, maybe they’ll help legislate against it
Nope. Same rules should apply for both. They should not be the least bit reluctant to use the same tools the Republicans do. If the Republicans are breaking rules then the Democrats need to break the same rules. If the Republicans don’t like it, they can stop breaking the rules whenever they feel like it.
Holy cow! Is that where the term ballers comes from? I did not know that. I kinda assumed it was about pro basketball players, in reference to their wealth and success.
I get to reevaluate so much pop culture now.
no no. certainly not. I often sorta joke around with use of language, especially in regard to modern terms like that.
Oh. I feel sheepish. 😞
HM. internet should be like hanging in the basement with friends. its all good.
