As if Bidenflation, collapsing school test scores, a demolished “border,” vagrant encampments, stool-stained sidewalks, blood-soaked streets, juvenile genital mutilation, surging sex slavery, and mounting foreign threats were not enough, Democrats just trashed the majesty of what has been called “the world’s greatest deliberative body.” Not even the Senate’s dress code could withstand the Democratic impulse to make things dirty, ugly, and dangerous. Why? That’s what Democrats do. In a major wardrobe malfunction, Senate Majority…
