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.

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?

What did this achieve? You're cheering for nothing.

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?
