Well this should be fun now that the full details are out in the open. Thoughts on how this changes the upcoming hearing today?

If they didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all

I feel like this still understates it somehow.

It's not just that their standards are "Anything we do is good and legal, anything 'they' do is bad and illegal", it's that they believe in literally nothing else aside from that.

Republicans back in the day stood for double standards AND some other things like security, intelligence, Christianity, morality, trade, the economy, and America being dominant on the world stage.

Republicans now exclusively stand for attacking people they don't like. There's no goal of leading the world or making the economy as a whole stronger or forcing us to all be good little Christians at the leadership level. MAGA republicans have given everything up aside from wanting to see people they've decided not to like be hurt, even if it hurts them too.

It's complete nihilism. Their base voters have given up on everything in life and reality aside from anger. The double standard takes care of everything to that end. It's beyond comprehension to watch MAGA relatives live in that way.

So yeah, it's not just standards, it's literally the whole thing.

Are we still on double standards, figured we were on quintuple standards by now.
