If you have a pathological tendency to try to find a Democratic misdeed to counterbalance whatever Republicans are doing, seek medical help.
Wow. RT said she wants the Senate to get rid of the filibuster. I said I think they already basically did. You now call me stupid because “the Rs would have done it anyway?”
