Also - the GOP already fired the parliamentarian at least once. They did so during the Dubya administration.

MacDonough’s decision is likely to be fateful.

There's a much higher likelihood that Santa Claus and his flying reindeers are real.

Holy mother of fuck. If the writer was a recent college grad nepobaby - I might overlook some of the stupidity. I, myself, was an idiot in my 20s. But the writer dipshit has been writing for pollitics for at least a decade.

I googled him. He's gotta be at least ~60. Good grief.

If I was a political columnist and I was structurally held back from pointing out the obvious reality of how a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie worked for decades, I too would end up thinking the Parliamentarian mattered.
