    Yeah but this eating our own while Republicans stay in office only benefits R’s.

    I know Gonzales “retired”, but that is by and large the exception AND only happened after Dems experienced an equal loss of one, leaving the House math unchanged. We need to stop taking the high ground while the rules are unequally applied.

      He raped someone. Are you saying we should let him continue on as if nothing happened in order to own the Republicans?

        I’m saying that in this moment we should play by the same rules Republicans do. Stop beating ourselves with self imposed rules that, last time I checked, are doing jack shit to help the nation.

        Once we’ve fixed THAT problem we can return to the moral high ground.

        Unless of course you enjoy living under this fascist regime.

        Get rid of the rapist in the White House and work our way down.

          I disagree. Fewer rapists is an improvement. Getting rid of rapists isn’t the moral high ground, it’s a necessary moral imperative. Id rather have one party that acts like Republicans than two.

          Unless of course you enjoy living under this fascist regime.

          If we abandon the rules because its convenient for us, even if we win, we’d be living under a fascist regime. The only difference would be it would be one of our own making instead of someone else’s.

        Agreed; my issue is with the unequally applied rules. They should ALL be gone, but until that’s the case let’s stop shooting ourselves in the foot while Republicans laugh their way to corrupt majorities.

          As if the Republicans are even playing by the rules at this point…Are you seriously defending a guy who violently raped someone?

          At no point is it acceptable to let them off the hook, politics or no politics.

          You’d be saying something completely different if you’d ever experienced something like this.

            Okay, did I miss something? Did more evidence come out today? From what I’d heard they were simply allegations at this point. And as a country we’ve show men how we treat those cough Epstein cough.

            So again I ask, why the disparate treatment? The moral high ground means Jack shit if they take over for good.
