GOP Shocked To Find Old Democratic Rule Works For Them Too

It appears that Senate Republicans, in a display of what can only be described as profound bipartisan amnesia, are on the verge of embracing a long-forgotten legislative maneuver. This venerable tactic, previously dismissed as an affront to democratic principles when suggested by the opposing aisle, has suddenly been unearthed and declared a vital instrument for efficient governance. The impetus? A rather pressing backlog of President Donald Trump's most crucial, if numerically vast, lower-level appointments.

Sources close to the ongoing strategic reassessment indicate that the sudden utility of this particular alteration to Senate rules became blindingly clear once its potential to expedite *their* agenda was fully grasped. One can almost hear the collective gasp of revelation: "You mean, we can just… change the rules to get what we want? Why didn't anyone tell us this before, other than, you know, everyone?" The urgency to confirm scores of assistant deputy under-secretaries and various bureau chiefs is, of course, paramount to the nation's continued operations.
