If the shoe was on the other foot-------

----and Democrats had done all that the Republicans have done:

---"our" seditionists---the equivalents of Cruz and Hawley and Jordan, etc.---would be expelled from Congress, as would anyone packing a pistol in the Capitol

---our president would now be in custody for numerous crimes and anyone in the Senate even suggesting his acquittal would be slammed in the media a d physically threatened by "patriots" in camo.

---the "nuclear option" would have been used yesterday

---our pleas for bipartisanship, compromise and unity would be met with rolling eyes and laughter.

---"elections have consequences" would precede "the voters gave us a clear mandate to do as we please".

---Dobbs', Hannity's and Carlson's nominations to the Cabinet would be approved by now.

---Newsmax would once again be longing for a nation "where liberals can be hunted down with dogs".

Things would be handled very differently, to be sure.

the show would be a lot different. Also, the show would have moved along a lot faster, and the
Republicans would be laughing all the way to the bank to deposit their increased money that they
collected on the...."show"
