This is as simple as how one would properly raise kids... just because others do something doesn't justify the continued practice. I mean, it's basic common sense. "Dad, little Billy stole candy from the store, I was just following him". I mean... come on.
So not only doesn't your argument hold any water (unless we are discussing toddlers), the last part of your statement here really is telling. The "virtue signaling" is rampant everywhere on both sides. Yet, you believe "the other side" can't virtue signal? By your own argument the virtue signaling should be OK because "All sides do it".
So thanks for adding absolutely nothing to the discussion.
Raising kids is not a parrallel to politics, especially stealing. In this case nobody broke any laws or rules. People are up in arms because procedural rules were followed and the outcome is not what they desired. There is no way yo correlate that to child rearing.
And no sir, thank YOU for adding absolutely nothing to the discussion, especially with your last sentence.

No, people are up in arms because the republicans deliberately and premeditatedly lied. They didn't come up with some clever procedural process, they simply lied. Period.
Any of this sound familiar?:
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.
You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another.
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.
Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart.
But I tell you what, I look forward to the day the Lord comes back, calls those whom are born again up to Him, and installs his 1000 year reign on Earth where there wont be no dumb politics or rich folks with billions of dollars trying to suck more money out of poor folks.
So you're okay with the dumb politics and billionaires making themselves richer in the meantime?

Yes, within reason.
Given a choice between very rich, greedy people or a dangerously powerful government, I choose the greedy.
As C.S Lewis puts it "of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive...for they do so with the approval of their conscience. The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satisfied...To be 'cured' against ones will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on the level of...infants, imbeciles and animals".

What the R pols did was reprehensible(1).
Anyone who would approve of or give them cover for is contemptible(2).
How come 1/3 of the D's got the memo to be present?
Im not sure what the significance of the text message to the reporter was. But it's kinda moot. He could've been referring to some other vote, or maybe the vote that was taken to veto the budget bill was at 900, etc. In that text he specifically said 830. The whole context of that message wasn't presented and even so it was a message to a reporter...

Trump gives you both.
