This is disgusting, sickening ... and normal

 

When you say GOP, you mean a ruthless, opportunistic, immoral, bottom-feeding school of worms. 

Nothing they do is surprising.  They have no compunction about taking any chance they get to bend, break, or demolish rules and decorum.

Here's the most recent example.

GOP’s Senate delays allowed changes at product safety regulator. Critics say ‘power grab’ puts public at risk.

"A short-lived Republican majority atop the nation’s product safety regulator — the result of Senate delays in confirming Democratic nominees — recently pushed through dozens of last-minute changes to the agency’s annual plan, slowing work on some safety rules and abandoning at least one enforcement effort altogether.

The changes mean the Consumer Product Safety Commission no longer plans in the coming year to draw up new mandatory rules for preventing suffocation in infant nursing pillows or carbon monoxide poisoning from gas appliances."

But wait ...

"The changes occurred during a brief period in late September when Republicans held a 2-to-1 voting advantage over Democrats on the five-member CPSC board, with two seats vacant. At the same time, three Democratic commissioner nominees awaited Senate confirmation — in part because of delays created by Republican senators, according to four government officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk with the media."

Do I have to say anything else?
