sorry the sweaty the senate parliamentarian(whose 'rulings' can be legally ignored) said no :(

Yeah love how the mystical parliamentarian prevented a bunch under Biden but the first time they tried to stop Trump he just ignored them and we found out that it was always allowed but the dems didn’t because of “decorum”.

It was known to us the entire time that they were doing the parliamentarian shtick that they could be ignored and replaced at will. They're a powerless Rules Nerd who is there to go "um akshually the rules state..." but that's literally fucking it, they have less authority than a schoolteacher.

But liberals are blueMAGA so when their guy in office and their guys on TV tell them the sky is red they hoot and holler in the ecstasy of the truth. With a Democrat president liberals have part of their brains entirely disengaged such that they are unable to even formulate the concept of a question, much less ask one or investigate whether they're being lied to

Same thing happened under the Bush administration. Parliamentarian tried to get in the way and they just fired him
