Republicans, who are not showing up to do their job, are mad that Democrats are doing their job.
Love to see it.
Democrats should have been trying to piss Republicans off for the last 20 years.
The existence of anyone slightly to the left of Rush Limbaugh makes them apoplectic, if we are to be honest.
“That’s not fair! You can’t do exactly what we did! You said it wasn’t fair, remember? And now you are doing it! Wwwaaaahhhhh! Stop it! I’ll tell daddy putin, and he’ll be very mad”
“It’s not fair that you can do what you’re permitted to do! You should do what we want you to do! Remember when you didn’t get to confirm SCOTUS judges? That was more fair because it helped us!”
"Copycats!!!1!!" - the party of petulant children
Yeah? Fuck em
LOL, the qons don't have a fucking leg to stand on. Moscow Mitch unilaterally changed the number of judges on SCOTUS for nearly a year as a gigantic fuck you to Obama and the Democrats and the majority of the country, so they can just FUCK RIGHT OFF with their bullshit.
Fucking right. You need to change that account image though buddy. Sadly.
well said. their chicanery with the judiciary goes back decades. As usual they are fine with their actions but when dems emulate the way they act to the smallest degree and they get mad.
No, Republicans are mad because not enough of their own party can be bothered to show up to block or debate the picks on the floor.
They’re so overconfident in their win they’ve stopped showing up to do the job.
Would he nice if that attitude persists for a while.
The next four years would be nice, but I'll settle for two
After the SCOTUS bs under Obama then trump....cry and die mad about it HAHAHA
We don't negotiate with terrorists.
We don't but the DNC sadly does more often than not
Scratch a liberal...
Could any of this been done 4 years ago?
Apparently this is one of the things the Biden admin was doing consistently over all its four years.
This last flurry is only so that he confirms more than Trump did.

I really doubt this a dick measuring contest.
It's to stop Trump from putting more sycophants and fascists in these positions.
I expect part of it is that enough Republican senators have gone home for the season.
It would have been uncivil - and as we all know, the most effective way to fight fascism is by letting them run roughshod over you while smugly pointing out how correct you are, and that they're breaking the rules while adjusting your policies to be a watered down version of the fascists, exciting the fascists, liberals, and leftists at the end time.
If the Dems get another election and don't pick a left populist like Sanders, they're finished.
Too damn bad then, hopefully this will help
