Plus one’s Republican and the other’s Democrat.

Plus one side is cutthroat, plays to win at all costs, takes off the gloves, and ignores all the rules and laws while the gentlemen on the other side abide by the Marquess of Queensberry Rules.

Punishments are only applied to non-demonRATS.

Did you not know that?

I can only conclude you have not been paying attention for the past two centuries.

Hastings - powerful in the House? People don’t even know his name. That is a silly heading. He has not been on one single House committee hearing in recent years. I’m not sure he is even still a member of the House.

Because they did not explicitly prevent him from seeking elective office when they impeached and removed him/

Wouldn’t have mattered if they had. He’s black and he’s dem so rules and laws don’t apply to him. I’m a poet and I know it.

And for Hastings, it's reversed. Even though he was convicted, they never voted to include the punishment of a bar from office.

Because Black Democrats have been getting away with criminal acts/corruption and treason since the 1960’s (Adam Clayton Powell, John Conyers Jr, George Crockett Jr., Danny Davis, Ellison, Waters, etc.)

The barring from office vote is optional.
