“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.”

      That’s the clownish thing, the Parliamentarian is appointed by the Senate Majority leader and serves entirely at their discretion

      Wanna guess who was Senate Majority leader when that all came up lol? It wasn’t a Republican
