Can’t please everyone

-

When it comes to getting rid of the filibuster or increasing the number of justices on the Supreme Court, by now we all know that if the situation were reversed Mitch McConnell and his cohorts would do either or both without any compunctio­n.

So, Democrats, have at it, whatever you can make happen do it. McConnell will whine about it. So? He’s a whiner. Our local Trumpers will also whine about it but they also whined for four years while their guy was in office.

Why try to satisfy Republican­s, either in Congress or in the Antelope Valley, when they can never be satisfied.

It’s a Republican feature. They’ve whined about Dr. Seuss, President Obama wearing a tan suit and Dr. Jill Biden using her title as she is still teaching. Or they make up stuff on Fox News like only 1 hamburger a month due to Biden.

They didn’t complain about 1/6. What prevented them from complainin­g about that horrific insurrecti­on?

Gee, Democrats shouldn’t do this or that because Republican­s will complain. If only not doing this or that would stop their complainin­g, but it wouldn’t. Nothing will.

If you’re thinking of criticizin­g Democrats for doing such things just remember that Republican­s would do it if they could. That way you won’t fall into the trap of being a hypocrite unless that’s what you do anyway.
