I like how when Democrats are in power, they're unable to do anything...

But when Republicans are in power, they break the law at lightning speed, do things they're not supposed to do, and nobody stops them because actually the only thing staying in their way are "rules" and "decorum" and not "laws" and yet mysteriously the Democrats are always beholden to "laws" that prevent them from doing the same. Also it seems like Democrats hands are tied at actually bringing criminal charges against Republicans because that would be "partisan."^1 Just look at how they've slow-walked Trump's prosecution and only went for it when it became clear he would never comply.

It's a fucking farce.
