35. It's just the rampant hypocrisy on here...

...and the requests (some would say demands) by certain factions and groups of people that we simply switch gears and abide by new rules depending on what their take on the situation is.

I know this place is just made up of a diverse group of flawed people (like we all are), but maybe the first step to all of this is for everyone involved to just maybe not make grand declarations as to what is and is not acceptable and whose complaints are and are not legitimate ore reasonable. Like maybe don't one day loudly accuse anyone who maybe in good faith and within reason calling for Franken to step aside of being Putin loving Republican moles, and then the next day post about how wise or reasonable it is for fellow Senate Dems to get out in front of this issue and show the country how reasonable we are.
