Without further delay, let’s take a closer look at how players from both sides fared during the game:...

After all, the kind of “normal” Republican behavior we’ve become accustomed to over the past 20 years or so is bananas. To pluck just one example from an overloaded tree of indecencies and escalations, the GOP-led house conducted 37 absurd hearings about the Benghazi consulate attack between 2013 and 2016 despite knowing full well that there was no meaningful wrongdoing. Between 2011 and 2017, the House passed more than 50 bills to repeal or defund the Affordable Care Act, none of which ever had even a 1 percent chance of becoming law while Barack Obama was president....
