Recess Rules: Democrats Are the Playground Bullies, and Republicans Keep Handing Over Their Lunch Money

Will Republicans Ever Grow A Backbone? – GrrrGraphics

"Traditions? Buddy, the only tradition here is the Republicans playing nice while Democrats play dirty."

"Remember when Donald Trump had everyone chanting “Lock her up!” during his 2016 campaign? During one debate, he told Hillary she should be in jail, but once he was elected he turned kind and forgiving and even said Clinton was a ’nice lady.’ Trump played nice and what did get for it? Hillary was NOT nice—she played it mean and triggered the Russia collusion hoax, which clouded his first term. He’s learned his lesson now—he lives by the acronym, ‘FAFO.’

"Too many other Republicans claim they are taking the high road and being statesmen, but in fact their non-confrontational approach is seen by Democrats as being wimpy. Republicans get swat-teamed while Democrat suspects get asked politely to show up before a Democrat judge—who promptly lets them off the hook.

"The Democrats can disrupt, threaten violence, hurl vile insults at conservatives and break the law with impunity. Obama used security agencies to spy on the Trump campaign. Nothing happened. They outright stole the 2020 election. Nothing happens. They can shut down the government and walk out on Trump’s SOTU speeches without consequences. The Democrats are the bully in a schoolyard in dire need of a punch in the nose, but the Republicans are not up to that task. They’re the skinny, nerdy kid with the thick glasses, pocket protector, and self-help books who gets threatened by the Democrats. What do the Republicans do about it? Nothing.

"That’s exactly what’s happening right now with the SAVE America Act—the commonsense bill that says, “Hey, maybe voters should prove they’re actual American citizens before registering.” It sailed through the House like a well-aimed spitball, backed by President Trump and every Republican who can count to 218. But in the Senate? Cue the dramatic music. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the GOP crew have 50 votes locked in—enough to move it forward—but Democrats are threatening the filibuster like it’s their favorite wedgie move. “You want this to pass? Gotta get 60 votes or talk us to death!” they sneer, while Republicans stand there clutching their binders, mumbling about “bipartisan decorum” and “Senate traditions.”
