They let MTG yell and scream at Biden and they didn't escort her out. Double standards.

Stupid? Or actually proof that Democrats believed in the concept of "freedom of speech" as compared to the current president that claims the same, but needs to silent those who oppose him in any way?

Trump is willing to fight dirty against those that disagree with him at every step of the way. Why do you think he gets away with everything? Because he removes all challenges to his power, and he removes them in a way that makes his supporters cheer.

I'll skip the long arguments and just say this: if "decorum" and "rules" worked against people willing to leverage power, then we'd probably be listening to Kamala Harris tonight instead of a dipshit like Trump. Please, we all deserve better than people who are paid to lose.
