The Republican party has lost the ability to comment on a politicians decorum or even suggest it is problematic.

Can you provide a specific example so that we can discuss whether this is an apples:apples comparison? I suspect that much of what you're talking about relates to Trump, and I doubt that Trump 'called out' many moderate Democrats whom he might expect to be open to supporting his policies and instead mostly called out people that wouldn't support his agenda if he offered free diamonds.

I would think that the Repub Senators are very aware that Trump did not advance his cause with the Dems by berating them.

If it were Trump making the call that 'they called me a bad name so I wont play with them', lad would be correct in his call of hypocrisy.

But lad only says, Repub Senators didnt call people out, they were --- silent --- when it was done by Trump. So their noting it from a Dem is hypocrisy --- because.... they were..... <silent>.

Kind of goes with the now progressive mantra of 'Silence is Violence' I guess.

Funny, lad still doesnt see the very real difference between working voting for an ideologue, and voting for an ideologue that is consistently an explicit and highly vocal dick to you.
