Obviously.

But they're hardly alone.

^^^

Has there ever been a more clear, logical, and convincing, i.e., "cogent" argument, that "both sides do it"?


BTW, anyone else remember when republicans controlled both houses of congress and the white house and chose to shut the government down 3 times in Trump's first two years? Government shutdowns when a party controls congress and the white house pretty much never happen, but Trump and his "conservative" republicans were able to accomplish the job 3 times in only two years!

If that ain't ownin' the libs, I don't know what is. And I don't think republicans get nearly enough credit for it.

Strong work! Just what Americans want from a political party that controls the strings of government!

The last time the federal government was shut down was the longest in history. It was the 3rd time in two years republicans had accomplished the feat:

2018-2019 (President Donald Trump): December 22, 2018 to January 25, 2019 - 34 days

And why did republicans shut the government down again for the 3rd time in 2 years?

Answer: Because they're so "conservative"?

No, because democrats wouldn't vote for an additional $5.7 billion dollars for Trump's wall.

Which seems kind of odd, since Mexico was going to pay for it anyway...

Yup, democrats are just like republicans.

Case in point.

Looking good, Joe:

New CNN/University of New Hampshire poll released Wednesday:

Biden leads Trump in New Hampshire 52% to 40%

94% of Democrats say they will vote for Biden.

78% of republicans say they will vote for Trump

[Shirley]

In the same CNN/University of New Hampshire poll released Wednesday:

(And what a relief that the republican party hasn't devolved into a Trump personality cult...much.)

Biden also holds double-digit leads in hypothetical New Hampshire tests against DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Pence, Scott, Haley and Christie, but substantial numbers of potential voters in each these matchups – between 9% and 16% – volunteer that they’d instead choose to vote for Trump. That comes almost entirely among Republicans, 18% of whom say they would vote for Trump in a Biden vs. Ramaswamy matchup, rising all the way up to 35% saying they would vote Trump in a Biden vs. Christie matchup.

And this is the problem the Rs have wrought: absent tricks, they can't win with Trump...but nor can they win without him.

The real question is: What does it say about the average Dem voter that they can support Mr. Burns with Dementia in the first place? That truly puzzles me.

Again, it's rich to get qualifications and capabilities lessons from someone who, faced with a binary choice between Biden and Trump, would eagerly choose the one who simply fundamentally does not believe the Constitution, and the laws that flow from it, apply to him.

Of the two, which one knows 1) what year it is and 2) what a Constitution even is?

It's Psych, why would you expect anything different?

To your point, jfish26:

...substantial numbers of potential voters in each these matchups – between 9% and 16% – volunteer that they’d instead choose to vote for Trump...

"9% to 16%" of republicans will vote for Trump even if he isn't the nominee?

Republicans sold their soul to the devil, and they're reaping what they sowed*. If, for any reason, republicans choose to nominate anyone but Trump, they're fucked, because he'll immediately do what he always does, take it personally and try to make them pay. And, it would be glorious to watch the fascists get what they deserve.

Speaking of, "reaping what you've sowed". More from the same CNN/University of New Hampshire poll released Wednesday:

By 59% to 37%, New Hampshire residents oppose last year’s Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. A 54% majority describe themselves as “strongly” opposed, with such strong opposition especially high among Democrats (90%), women (63%) and adults younger than 35 (59%). Views are more closely split on New Hampshire’s law banning abortion after 24 weeks, except in cases of medical emergency, with 45% of state residents in support and 47% opposed.


*A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:7–9).

Easy. Biden. Also he’s not the one who the court said is a rapist and hasn’t confessed to sexual assault. But you “Family Values” voters know that already

Hair sniffing and showering with one's daughter is perfectly normal, though. I'll go with the economy, the border, and inflation as my critical data points. Biden sucks on all counts.
