Because the government is a terrorist state that sponsors genocide and the branches of that terrorist state sponsor terrorism globally.

    I can't tell if this is a sarcastic bit or not?

    I haven't read the article because it's CNN so I assume they never actually say something like "the Parliamentarian is elected for life and has an unbreakable veto", they just allude to it to make the reader draw that conclusion themselves.

    If it's not a bit I can dig up some more info on the role of the Parliamentarian.

    I'm not American so the closest the civics-equivalent class came to this process is where, if the Senate fails to pass a House bill twice, the government can dissolve parliament and hold an election immediately. Then after an election, if the Senate still refuses to pass the same House bill, the government can essentially merge the upper and lower houses for a voting session to get stuff through.

      It's a bit about how the Democrats constantly invent new and exciting reasons to explain why they can't do anything useful.
