If lying criminals in the WH is the new normal, why is impeachment/indictment not?

If this is the new world we are living in, why should 40 year old DoJ opinions hold sway?

House rules for comity are a vestige of a patriarchal past, why can't the new Reps call out lying and racism?

If the RW wants to wipe away a past they feel restricts their individual rights why should the Dems continue to color between the lines.

BTW: am in no way saying we stoop to their level, but striking back after turning the other cheek for years is a practical reaction of self-defense.

We haven’t lived a normal day in over two years. That will not likely change for a while.

Stop looking for “normal”, and do what is required!

Any that recognize the misanthrope occupying the WH but have much to gain financially or politically from the chaos will clothe themselves with the "both sides" or "elections have consequences" banners.

The true deplorables are just glad to see someone be put in their place and if it's a mouthy libtard or tree hugger, so much the better.

The thing they don't yet understand is they are hurt as much as anyone and when the pendulum swings back they will be left grasping at straws/strawmen.
