Stop the madness and stop letting them get away with the Democrats/Pelosi bumper-sticker bullshit.
It is incumbent upon BOTH SIDES to hold those accountable in the impeachment process.

(4,387 posts)...which they dont, and I wouldnt expect them to because of the last decade of Republican idiocy, intransigence, and outright assholeishness.
Democrats are in charge of the House. They CAN get it started. They arent for asinine political reasons. Its not a double standard. Our side has an advantage here. Use it.

(1,737 posts)It's not that we are letting them off the hook, but we see that the Republicans will put party over country. The onus is on the Democrats not the follow suit. We have to show the electorate that we are the party that puts country first.

(111,111 posts)A couple of days ago, KC DC was questioning one of her guests about how they were going to get tough with those Democrats that were not in line on some subject or other?
I recall thinking: What about the Republicans?!
They have become trained by the Republican police, sometimes it seems?
