Friday Talking Points -- Trump Tanks The Market
As is now the new normal, there were so many things happening in the political world this week it is hard to keep track of them all. But what is currently in the center ring is the vote happening in the Senate on the continuing resolution to fund the government for the rest of this fiscal year.
Senate Democrats were put on the spot because the House Republicans actually managed to pass a bill on their own. Few expected that this would happen, since House Republicans have a terrible track record for being able to pass much of anything -- especially budget bills. So the Senate was caught kind of flat-footed on this one. They had expected to hammer out some sort of agreement between Senate Democrats and Republicans, pass it, and then jam it down the GOP House's throat (which is the usual way these things work out). Instead, they were jammed by the House (who, immediately after passing their bill, adjourned -- thus making it hard to call them back for any necessary vote, should the Senate pass their own version of the bill).
This put Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his Democrats between a rock and a hard place. The C.R. bill needed 60 votes to advance, and with Senator Rand Paul voting no it meant a total of eight Democratic votes would be necessary. Senator John Fetterman made it known that he was a "Yes" vote, and then yesterday Schumer himself decided to join him. This makes it likely that the vote will succeed (which happened as we wrote this -- the bill did advance, as expected) and the government will avoid shutting down.
As the price for Democrats to back the bill, there will be votes on a handful of amendments, designed to allow Democrats to save some face. All of these amendments will fail (as will a separate one from Rand Paul).
Many Democrats are disappointed (which is charitable, since "enraged" might be a better word) at how this all played out. They do have a point -- this will be the last must-pass bill where the filibuster is in play for a long time to come, so it was really their only chance to register Democratic disapproval of what President Elon Musk has been doing to the federal government. The bill that passed will not only fund the government through the rest of the fiscal year, it will also put a stamp of approval on Musk (and his sidekick Donald Trump) slashing funding for any program they don't like. It essentially hands all the budget decisions over to the executive branch, which is an abdication of the constitutional power of Congress. Which is why many Democrats are so enraged (more on that in a moment).
The problem with being pro-shutdown, however, is the same as it always has been: what would the endgame look like? Republicans -- the ones who normally cause government shutdowns -- have learned over the years that there really is no good outcome at the end of a shutdown. This time around, the Democrats have such limited leverage (since they control neither house of Congress) that it is laughable to even envision a scenario where they forced Republicans to accept their priorities or agenda (which mostly consists of changing the C.R. to include language reining in Musk). Even if through some miracle they could get it through the Senate, does anyone believe it would pass the GOP House? Or be signed by the president?
While Democrats were figuring all this out, in the meantime Trump and Musk would be having an absolute field day with a government shutdown. That has to be taken into account as well. They'd be able to decide what employees were "essential" and "non-essential" and furlough anyone they chose to (meaning "whole departments" and worse). This would make it even easier for them to get rid of employees and departments, which is not exactly the desired outcome for Democrats. But if they had shut the government down, that's exactly what would have happened.
So they went instead with the "least bad" option, and the government will not shut down at midnight. As Schumer pointed out, on the Senate floor: "For sure the Republican bill is a terrible option. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take... much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option."
Outside of the congressional drama, Trump continued his rather schizophrenic application of tariffs ("now you see them, now you don't"), both levying and then backing off multiple tariffs on multiple countries. But this week, the stock market had had enough. Wall Street hates uncertainty, and that's all they've been getting from Trump. Unless you want to call it "complete chaos" instead, that is. So a sell-off began on Monday and continued throughout the week, until at least one index (S&P) entered into "correction" territory (down ten percent from recent highs). Fears of higher prices and plummeting consumer confidence have increased everyone's prediction that a recession is imminent, and the markets are reacting accordingly.
Just to remind everyone -- this is not what Trump ran on. He promised lower prices, immediately ("on Day One"), and now that the opposite is happening -- as a direct result of his own actions -- he is shrugging off the prospect of a looming recession. He swears any pain will be temporary, and worth it in the end. He swears every American's pockets will soon be overflowing with money, too.
The public isn't exactly buying it. One poll this week put disapproval of Trump's handling of the economy higher than approval (by a wide margin -- 56 to 44 percent), which is something that never happened during his first term. People disapprove of his tariffs by an even wider margin as well (61 to 39 percent, including 20 percent of Trump voters). As time goes on and prices stay high (or go even higher), these negative poll numbers will most likely grow. Trump's voters are beginning to realize that he conned them into believing fantastical things about the economy, and nobody's happy when they finally realize that they've been had.
This is going to hit some red states very hard, it bears mentioning. The tariffs, in particular, are going to hit rural areas in the Midwest and South very hard indeed. And Trump keeps on undermining farmers (by cancelling programs they use to sell their produce), without seeming to care about the consequences.
The only bit of good news in all this economic catastrophe (in a schadenfreude sort of way) is that Tesla stocks are down -- way down. Tesla sank 15 percent in a single day this week, and the stock is down 50 percent since the high it hit after the election. Protests -- some of them violent, some including vandalism -- have been occurring at Tesla dealerships and charging stations. So Trump decided to turn the White House into a Tesla lot in an appearance with Elon Musk, and Trump then proudly claimed he was buying one of them (after mispronouncing the company's name as "Tesler"). He urged all his followers to go out and do the same. Democratic senator Mark Kelly responded by announcing he was getting rid of his own Tesla, in protest.
This might not be the best business model for the company, it bears mentioning. Trump has long railed against and heaped scorn on electric cars (and boats, for good measure), and MAGA folks are known for sneering at electric cars and trucks too, so it's highly doubtful how many of them are going to rush right out and buy a few Teslas any time soon. People who buy electric cars generally hail from the left, so making the brand a partisan loyalty test is just going to drive consumers who are considering going electric to other brands. What we wonder is how much longer the Tesla board of directors is going to wait before they decide that the biggest problem with their company and their brand is Elon Musk, and that chucking him overboard could indeed save the company. Stay tuned!
To add insult to injury, the A.I. portion (named "Grok") of Musk's social media company will cheerfully admit that Democrats are much better for the economy, when they are in charge in Washington. That's gotta hurt!
Trump continues to do the opposite of what he promised in other regards as well. He has launched a frontal attack on free speech, by "disappearing" a permanent resident (green card holder) and locking him up without offering up a scintilla of evidence of any crime or wrongdoing. Trump bragged about it all, promising: "This is the first arrest of many to come," which is a chilling statement for any president to make. Here's the story, in case you missed it (emphasis in original):
On Saturday, immigration agents showed up at the apartment building of Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of last year's pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, and told him his student visa had been revoked and that he was being detained. Khalil is married to an American, and his lawyer, speaking to the agents by phone, informed them that he had a green card, but they said that had been revoked as well. He was taken away, and as of this writing appears to be in a detention facility in Louisiana.
. . .
But the fact that it was easy to see this ideological crackdown coming shouldn't obscure how serious Khalil's detention is. If someone legally in the United States can be grabbed from his home for engaging in constitutionally protected political activity, we are in a drastically different country from the one we inhabited before Trump's inauguration.
"This seems like one of the biggest threats, if not the biggest threats to First Amendment freedoms in 50 years," said Brian Hauss, a senior staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union. "It's a direct attempt to punish speech because of the viewpoint it espouses."
Khalil, who grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria, hasn't been charged with any crime. A dossier on him compiled by Canary Mission, a right-wing group that tracks anti-Zionist campus activists, includes no examples of threatening or violent speech, just demands for divestment from Israel. Last year Khalil was suspended from his graduate program for his role in the campus demonstrations, but the suspension was reversed soon after, apparently for lack of evidence, and he completed his degree. The Department of Homeland Security claimed he "led activities aligned to Hamas," but that's an impossibly vague, legally meaningless charge.
Khalil was arrested for exercising his right to free speech, plain and simple. Marco Rubio just decided to chuck him out of the country. No actual evidence against him has been presented, either to a court or to the American people. Just that he said things that Trump didn't like.
In other First Amendment news, a judge ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to destroy a law firm it didn't like as well. The firm had represented people Trump didn't like, so he decided to use the full weight of the federal government to punish them. Luckily, a judge halted these actions, but the fact that Trump even tried to do so is alarming:
The judge said Trump's executive order appeared to violate the First Amendment rights of Perkins Coie [the law firm that was Trump's target] and noted that the firm was not granted any due process. She said the Trump administration wrote the order in such a broad manner that it was hard to determine any goal beyond retaliation.
"It sends little chills down my spine," Howell said, describing the executive order as the president punishing a company he believes is not acting in the president's interest. “Why shouldn't we be chilled by this?"
Why indeed.
Before we begin, we have to note the passing of Representative Raúl Grijalva, a staunch progressive much beloved by the left. His presence and leadership will be sorely missed in the House of Representatives, and we mourn his passing. Requiescat In Pace.
Before we get to the main award, we have a group Honorable Mention award to hand out first, to all the Democrats in the Maryland legislature (and the governor) who are trying out a rather radical idea -- creating a state-level drug pricing board that will force drug companies to lower their prices on prescription drugs for residents of the state. Federal efforts in this area have begun, but are extremely limited so far, so Maryland decided to get out in front of the idea. This week, they beefed up the powers of this board to provide reductions in price for all residents. This experiment will be well worth watching, to see how effective it turns out to be.
Our Most Impressive Democrat Of The Week this week is also a group award. Democrats have struggled in deciding how to fight back against Republicans in the second age of Trump, and at first glance this seems like a rather minor effort, but it could be one that winds up paying off in a big way.
A coalition of Democratic groups has seen what is happening at many town hall meetings held by Republicans of late -- where GOP politicians get an earful from their constituents about all the chaos Musk and Trump have been causing. Things have gotten so bad that Republicans are now telling each other not to hold live town halls and instead do them virtually (where access can be controlled, to avoid angry questions). This cowardice needs calling out, so the group of Democrats decided to hold their own town hall meetings in districts where Republicans are too chicken to do so. Here's the story:
The tour is being organized by the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Association of State Democratic Committees. It is set to start Friday in Iowa's 3rd Congressional District -- home to Rep. Zach Nunn (R) -- and continue in at least eight more GOP-held districts. The groups aim to hold town halls in all 50 states.
The tour comes as some individual politicians have launched their own travels across the country to rally opposition to Trump, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who will be part of the first stop in Iowa. But the involvement of the national committees shows the more institutional side of the party is responding to their voters' desire for a more aggressive posture toward Trump and his allies in Congress.
. . .
"Instead of facing their constituents, they're running scared and hiding from the people they were elected to represent," Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin said in a statement. "If they won't talk to their own voters, then Democrats will."
Sanders has been drawing large crowds on his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour, which has visited competitive Republican-controlled House districts in Nebraska, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa. Walz, who was the 2024 Democratic nominee for vice president, said Wednesday he would embark on his own tour of GOP-held districts, which will include the Iowa event and another overlapping stop with the tour put on by DNC, DCCC and ASDC.
Once again, Bernie Sanders is showing the way for Democrats to tap into economic anxieties. So it is good to see that at least some Democrats have decided to follow in his footsteps.
Holding "empty chair" town halls in competitive Republican districts is a very local tactic to use in fighting back, but it is one that could help flip enough districts to the Democratic side of the aisle in the midterms, so it should be applauded.
People's feelings about the economy is a large reason why Trump won the last election, and it could be key to a Democratic revival. The more time goes on and the more prices stay high, the less patience even right-leaning voters are going to have with Trump's chaos (especially on his tariffs). And once you lose voters who throw up their hands on the economy, it is very hard to get them back.
So this week's Most Impressive Democrat Of The Week goes to the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and the Association of State Democratic Committees -- as well as Bernie Sanders -- for deciding to actually do something to fight back in the political arena. Most of these efforts won't make the front pages of national newspapers (the media, as usual, has barely lifted a finger to cover Bernie's rallies, even though they are drawing huge crowds), but they might just be headline news in the local districts, which is far more important. Pushing the message "Republicans are too chicken to face their voters" is a good idea just in general, and presenting an alternate economic message is going to be crucial for Democratic chances in the midterm elections.

We were considering giving the Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week award to Representative Jared Golden of Maine, for being the sole House Democrat to vote for the continuing resolution to fund the government for the rest of the year, but that was before Chuck Schumer entered the fray.
Schumer's announcement that he would also be voting for the C.R. has stoked a lot of rage against him. Some are even calling it the "Schumer surrender." Others are calling for Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to launch a primary challenge to Schumer. House Democrats were mostly (with the exception of Golden) united in voting against the C.R., and they urged their Senate counterparts to hold the line.
However, as we mentioned before, there wasn't really a viable endgame to all of this. Anyone who thought shutting the government down would provide enough leverage to allow Democrats to rewrite the C.R. is fairly delusional, and that doesn't even take into account what Musk and Trump would do if handed the opportunity of a government shutdown to get even more extreme in dismantling the government.
Which Schumer pointed out, in a piece he wrote for the New York Times:
For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option. It is deeply partisan. It doesn't address this country's needs. But even if the White House says differently, Mr. Trump and Elon Musk want a shutdown. We should not give them one. The risk of allowing the president to take even more power via a government shutdown is a much worse path.
. . .
First, a shutdown would give Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk permission to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now. Under a shutdown, the Trump administration would have wide-ranging authority to deem whole agencies, programs and personnel nonessential, furloughing staff members with no promise they would ever be rehired.
The decisions about what is essential would, in practice, be largely up to the executive branch, with few left at agencies to check it.
Mr. Musk has reportedly said that he wants a shutdown and may already be planning how to use one to his advantage.
You've got to admit, he's got a point. But this didn't quell the rage many Democrats felt after his announcement. Democrats wanted to be seen as fighting back, even if they didn't have an endgame plotted out. This is the same motivation Republicans have always used when they have shut the government down, and it rarely ends well for them (and they didn't even have to worry about a president who would gleefully welcome a government shutdown).
So while we personally do find it understandable that Schumer decided to choose the least-bad option available, we also recognize that him doing so sparked a whole lot of disappointment (and rage) among a whole bunch of Democrats. Which is why he's the obvious choice for the Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week this week.

Volume 787 (3/14/25)
We've got another mixed bunch of talking points this week. Keep hitting Trump on the economy, on his broken promises, and while you're at it, hit Elon Musk too (since so few people like him).
Checked your 401K?
Democrats need to continue pointing out the vast difference between what Trump promised and what he's done with the economy.
"Remember when Donald Trump said he'd create an economic boom immediately after he took office? Remember when he actually cared what the stock market was doing? Well, I don't know about you but I've been too scared to check my 401K this week, since the stock market is tanking and Trump just keeps right on making things worse. It's one thing to lay a big fat Trump Tax on everything by slapping tariffs on our closest allies, but the whole 'now you see them, now you don't' tactic Trump uses does nothing more than sow confusion and doubts about the future. So I would ask all those Trump voters out there -- are you happy when you go to the supermarket these days? Have you checked your 401K recently? Because no matter what he promised you, that is what Trump is doing to you."
It's all a game to him
A good metaphor to use, really.
"To Donald Trump, chaos and confusion and tanking stock markets is all just a fun game to play with the world economy. He doesn't care if a Trump Recession happens -- he's telling everyone it'll all be fine and they'll find their pockets stuffed with money afterwards. This is lunacy, folks. Tariffs are nothing short of a tax -- on you. Aluminum tariffs mean that you will pay more for a six-pack of beer. Is that what you voted for? It's all just a game to Trump, and anyone who claims he is playing some sort of three-dimensional chess is nothing short of delusional. I doubt Trump could play a game of two-dimensional chess, personally. No, it's not 3D chess Trump is playing -- it's nothing more than a game of 52-Card Pickup."
Good luck with that, Elon
Seriously, we should be taking bets on how long the Tesla board will put up with this.
"Elon Musk has seen his car company lose 50 percent of its stock value in the past few months. Tesla sales are way down all over the world, in fact. So his sidekick Donald Trump decided to use the White House as a car dealership lot and film a commercial for Tesla on the South Lawn. This is the last straw for many Tesla owners and for people in the market to buy a new electric car. Who wants to be a pariah just because of what you drive? So I would say to Elon Musk: 'Good luck convincing all those MAGA voters to rush right out and buy a Tesla!' Somehow I seriously doubt it's going to catch on as the new rightwing thing to drive, personally. From what I hear from Trump voters, they absolutely hate electric vehicles. So good luck with that business plan, Elon!"
Disappearing data
Of all the things Trump is doing, this is one of the most frightening.
"Donald Trump has an answer for any scientific data he doesn't like: just 'disappear' it all. Just erase it. Got documents that might say something you don't like? Burn them or shred them. Climate change data? Just cancel the program. This has started slow, but it could lead to a very dark place. What if economic data comes in as negative? Will Trump just delete it all? Or hire some toadies to come up with some fantasy numbers instead? Donald Trump is waging a war on data already, so it's easy to see him doing exactly that. Sending any data you don't like down the memory hole is the mark of a totalitarian government, folks."
Trump's for the birds? Hardly...
A minor point, but one worth making.
"Remember when Trump campaigned on how much he cared about birds? Remember that? Whenever he talked about wind turbines, he'd always darkly point out how many birds the windmills kill. But Trump just hates windmills, ever since they built some right offshore of one of his golf courses. He doesn't care about birds at all, in fact. His administration just ended the legal position that energy companies who kill birds with their activities should be held accountable. This gives not just wind producers but also the oil and gas industry a big green light to kill as many migrating birds as they feel like, without consequence. It's just one more thing Trump lied his face off about on the campaign trail, folks."
Chicken!
Speaking of birds....
"Republicans are increasingly becoming too chicken to face their own voters. They're too scared to hold town halls, because when they do they get to hear what their constituents think about President Elon Musk and Donald Trump and all their economic chaos. And they've been getting an earful! So they've decided to just stop holding town halls where people can confront them to their faces. It's a real sign of how unpopular the Trump agenda truly has been for millions of people. When politicians are too chicken to face their own voters, then it is time to vote them out of office, plain and simple."
Putin's laughing
This is going to become more and more evident.
"Vladimir Putin must just be laughing at Donald Trump right now. Trump is doing all his dirty work for him! All Putin needs to do is sit back and watch as Trump forces Ukraine to do exactly what Putin wants. Putin gets to call all the shots, and won't have to give up anything to bring an end to his invasion of Ukraine. Trump's never going to sanction Russia, and Putin knows this full well. Which is why Putin must be rolling on the floor laughing at his minion Donald Trump right about now."

part of the market issue is just what month it is. i expect mid March through April to see a bit of a rebound economically, really just because of the weather.
(after mispronouncing the company's name as "Tesler")
this i need to correct. adding an R after any word ending in a schwa is absolutely normal for anyone with a New York accent.
Like Cuber? :)
yes
any new yawk waita could tell yer
Heh
To add insult to injury, the A.I. portion (named "Grok") of Musk's social media company will cheerfully admit that Democrats are much better for the economy, when they are in charge in Washington. That's gotta hurt!
Donald Trump has also admitted that:
that's don gill the history professor.
Rep. Raúl Grijalva deserves at least a dishonorable mention. ANY Democrat who is undergoing long-term treatment for a disease which will incapacitate him/her for any length of time should NOT run for re-election.
While I feel sorry for his family it is his constituents who pay the price for his hubris. His seat will remain vacant until at least the autumn. And t add insult to injury, one less Democrat in Congress means the Speaker of the House needs even fewer Republicans present to pass legislation for most of 2025.

Rep. Raúl Grijalva deserves at least a dishonorable mention. ANY Democrat who is undergoing long-term treatment for a disease which will incapacitate him/her for any length of time should NOT run for re-election.
He did announce before the election that he would retire in 2026, and his constituents were well aware he was being treated for cancer when they reelected him.
https://grijalva.house.gov/rep-grijalva-statement-on-cancer-diagnosis/
I would wager he wasn't planning on dying from complications of treatment.

The jackboot fits.
He promised lower prices, immediately ("on Day One"), and now that the opposite is happening -- as a direct result of his own actions -- he is shrugging off the prospect of a looming recession.
Not factually accurate..
PRESIDENT Trump has KEPT his promise.. Prices ARE coming down.. Price of Eggs, DOWN... Price of Gas... DOWN
NO ONE believed he would be able to do that on DAY ONE.. THAT was just campaign hyperbole..
But the FACT remains.. PRESIDENT Trump *IS* keeping his promises..
And that just drives brain dead Democrats crazy with hate...
The only bit of good news in all this economic catastrophe (in a schadenfreude sort of way) is that Tesla stocks are down -- way down.
So, let's game this out to a possible conclusion..
TESLA is the largest manufacturer of Electric Vehicles..
Global Warming fanatics (such as ya'all) have claimed that ALL vehicles must be ELECTRIC Vehicles or else the planet will be destroyed..
Ya'all brain dead Democrats are committing terrorism in hopes of destroying the LARGEST EV car maker in the world..
What can we discern from these facts???
Ya'all and yer fellow brain dead Democrats hate PRESIDENT Trump more than you want the planet to be saved...
QED...
Having said all that, your claim is factually NOT accurate..
TESLA stock has rebound and regained ALL it has lost plus a lot more..
Once again, brain dead Democrats lose...
:eyeroll:
Here's the story, in case you missed it
NY SLIMES.. WHAT A SHOCK!!! :eyeroll:
You can safely miss it.. It's meaningless..
As to the scumbag HAMAS supporter...
He instigated riots at Columbia and attacked Jews that attended Columbia and encouraged others to attack Jews that attended Columbia..
OF COURSE brain dead Democrats want to protect this HAMAS supporter.. :eyeroll:
What IS it about you brain dead Democrats that you support terrorists like this!??
Is there ANY line you won't cross in your pursuit of your TRUMP/AMERICA hate and your PTDS???
:eyeroll:
WAPOOP and WAPOOP...
Nothing to see there.. :eyeroll:
MIDOTW.. WaPoop.. WaPoop…
Jesus, it's no wonder you Democrats don't have a LEG to stand on..
You get all your "news" from WaPoop, HuffPoop and NY SLIMES only!!
:eyeroll:
As to all the Talking Points... NONE of them are factually accurate.. Probably because they ALL come from WaPoop..
Jeeze, 2025 CW... You REALLY need to expand your reading repertoire…
It's no wonder yer getting such bad information..

No day would be complete without an exhibition of blatant brain dead woke progressive Democrat hypocrisy...
In a stunning display of hypocrisy, the Democrats have suddenly discovered new HATE for cutting government spending. It's funny because it was brain dead Democrats' darling, Barack Hussein Do Obama who first called for such measures back in 2011.
In a recently resurfaced video, Hussein Odumbo lamented the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars on frivolous projects, like a website for a folk music ensemble made up of forest rangers. He emphasized the need for "tough decisions" to eliminate wasteful programs, stating, "No amount of waste is acceptable, especially when it’s your money."
Fast forward to today, and we see Democratic lawmakers vehemently opposing similar fiscal responsibility measures proposed by PRESIDENT Trump. It’s LAUGHABLY hypocritical how quickly brain dead Democrats have forgotten their own leader’s words. Odumbo’s insistence on cutting back on "pointless waste" and holding the government accountable seems to have been conveniently swept under the rug as brain dead Democrats now rally against any form of spending cuts.
The hypocrisy is palpable and obvious. When Odumbo was in office, he recognized the importance of fiscal responsibility and even tasked then-Vice President Joe Biden with hunting down misspent tax dollars. Yet, now that the tables have turned, the same party that once championed these cuts is throwing a tantrum over them.
As patriotic Americans have pointed out, it seems that the brain dead Democrats are only interested in cutting spending when it suits their agenda. They were cheering on Odumbo when HE was making these "tough decisions" but now they’re up in arms as PRESIDENTTrump and others push for similar fiscal discipline. It’s time for brain dead Democrats to either stand by their principles or admit that their cries against spending cuts are nothing more than political theater which EVERYONE with more than 2 brain cells to rub together KNOWS that that is all it is.. Political Theater...
Cue sputtering and irrational defenses of "Er... Uh... WELL THAT'S DIFFERENT!!!!
:eyeroll:
Jesus H Christ!!! The Dishonorably Discharged Druggie Child Rapist must have been stoned out of his mind (such as it is) last night..
A half dozen hysterical posts about me... And the druggie child rapist STILL claims he is "ignoring" me..
BBBBBWWAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dishonorably Discharged Druggie Child Rapist, you owe JL an apology.. You have absolutely ZERO say in who JL chooses to engage with or not..
You are the PERFECT example of the hate-filled and bigoted brain dead Democrat...
It's no wonder you decided to join the American NAZI Party...

Another news worthy event just occurred.. Brain dead Democrat Token DEI Hire Headboard Harris poked her head out of her hole to sniff which way the wind is blowing..
As usual, she offered up a meaningless word salad that started with Nacho Cheese Doritos and ended up gods know where???
Headboard Harris's candidacy for the presidency was marked by a series of missteps and a complete and utter lack of vision, making her one of the most underwhelming candidates in recent memory. A recent video of her at an AI conference, where she struggled to articulate a coherent point about nacho cheese Doritos, serves as a stark reminder of her inability to connect with voters. After a prolonged (and VERY welcomed) absence from the public eye, her re-emergence only highlighted the confusion and disarray that characterized her campaign.
As we look back on the 2024 election, it becomes clear that Headboard Harris's candidacy was fraught with challenges, many of which stemmed from her close association with President Biden. According to the upcoming book "FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House" Harris was caught in a bind, trying to present herself as a change agent while simultaneously adhering to Biden's administration's record. Biden's insistence on having "no daylight" between their positions left Headboard Harris with little room to maneuver, effectively stifling any potential for a unique campaign message.
Headboard Harris's "strategy" such as it was, seemed to rely heavily on her identity as a woman of color and her middle-class upbringing, rather than on substantive policy proposals. This approach was not only superficial but also failed to resonate with voters who were looking for genuine leadership and vision. Her attempts to portray herself as tough on crime, despite her history as a prosecutor in San Francisco, fell flat as voters recognized the disconnect between her rhetoric and reality.
Moreover, Headboard Harris's campaign was burdened by the weight of Biden's unpopular record on critical issues such as inflation and border security. The very staff that had supported Biden's presidency also populated her campaign, further tying her to the administration's failures. This lack of independence made it difficult for her to establish a distinct identity as a candidate.
Ultimately, the quality of a candidate matters in politics, and Headboard Harris's shortcomings were glaring. Even if she had been free from Biden's constraints, it is unlikely that she would have fared any better. Her inability to craft a compelling narrative or connect with voters on a meaningful level led to her downfall. In the end, while Biden's record may have contributed to her challenges, it was Harris's own inadequacies that sealed her fate as a candidate. She did not just lose the election; she lost it on her own terms.
And ta think that there are actually PEOPLE who believe that Headboard Harris had "charisma"..
It's mind-boggling!! :eyeroll:
An EXCELLENT comment about how brain dead Democrats and hysterical Global Warming dullards are hurting their own causes!! :D
The recent spate of terrorism against Tesla vehicles and infrastructure is not just misguided; it’s downright ridiculous. In a bizarre twist of SOME KIND of logic, some self-proclaimed climate activists have resorted to committing acts of terrorism against the very symbol of their environmental agenda. By torching Teslas and destroying charging stations, these individuals are not only undermining their own cause but also showcasing an utter lack of common sense. Of ANY sense at all..
It’s hard to fathom how attacking a company that has been at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution aligns with any rational environmental strategy. Tesla, under the leadership of Elon Musk, has played a pivotal role in normalizing electric vehicles and promoting sustainable energy solutions. The irony is palpable: while these brain dead morons claim to care about the environment, they are actively destroying the infrastructure that supports it. This kind of behavior is not just counterproductive; it’s a self-inflicted wound on the climate movement.
The motivations behind these attacks seem to stem from a deep-seated animosity towards PRESIDENT Trump and Musk, which has driven some to irrational extremes. For instance, a woman in Colorado threw a Molotov cocktail at a Cybertruck, while another individual in South Carolina burned Tesla chargers, setting himself on fire in the process. Typical incompetent brain dead Democrat.
Such actions are not only criminal but also highlight a disturbing trend of violence in response to political disagreements. It’s as if these individuals have lost sight of the bigger picture, allowing their hatred to cloud their judgment. But THAT would never happen, eh!?? :eyeroll:
Moreover, the Biden administration has actively supported the electric vehicle market, doubling down on tax credits and mandates to promote EV production. Yet, instead of rallying behind this initiative, the brain dead Democrats have chosen to sabotage it. This is a classic case of cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face. By attacking Tesla, they are not only harming a successful American company but also jeopardizing the very progress they claim to champion.
As PRESIDENT Trump has pointed out, labeling these acts as “domestic terrorism” is not an exaggeration. The violence against Tesla is not just an attack on a brand; it’s an attack on innovation, jobs, and the future of sustainable transportation. If climate-loving brain dead woke progressive Democrats truly want to make a difference, they should channel their energy into constructive actions rather than destructive ones. It’s time to put down the Molotov cocktails and start supporting the very initiatives that can lead to a greener future.
Or is it that brain dead woke progressive Democrats hate PRESIDENT Trump more than they want the planet to survive???
SILENCE GIVES ASSENT......
Anyone who thinks that the brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party is a viable political entity needs to have their head examined... :D
The recent missteps by the brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party highlight just how out of touch they are with patriotic Americans. As they continue to stumble and fumble through a series of political blunders, it’s becoming increasingly clear that their priorities do not align with the values and concerns of the average American.
Take, for instance, the recent government funding debacle. While House Republicans managed to unite and pass a continuing resolution, Democrats chose to vote against it, effectively opting for a government shutdown. This decision is not just politically foolish; it demonstrates a complete disregard for the federal workers they claim to support. By voting against funding for these workers, brain dead Democrats have shown that their rhetoric about caring for the American people is nothing more than empty words.
The chaos within the party was further exemplified during PRESIDENT Trump’s address to Congress, where brain dead Democrat representatives displayed a shocking lack of decorum. Instead of engaging in constructive dialogue, some members resorted to theatrics, with Rep. Al Green shouting and waving his cane in a display that was more fitting for a circus than a serious legislative body. This kind of behavior only reinforces the perception that brain dead Democrats are more interested in grandstanding than in addressing the real issues facing Americans.
Moreover, the brain dead Democrats’ refusal to honor the guests of the president—individuals who have faced unimaginable tragedies—speaks volumes about their priorities. While they chose to ignore the sacrifices of American families, they instead praise a pro-Hamas activist, demonstrating a disturbing alignment with radical elements that VIRTUALLY ALL Americans find completely unacceptable. This blatant disregard for patriotic values is alienating to voters who expect their leaders to prioritize the safety and well-being of their fellow citizens.
Polling data reveals the extent of the brain dead Democrats’ disconnect. A significant majority of independents feel that the party is focused on helping others rather than working Americans. With only 27% believing that Democrats are looking out for their interests, it’s clear that the party is losing touch with the very people they claim to represent.
Get that!?? Only **TWENTY SEVEN PERCENT** of Independents think that brain dead Democrats are looking out for the Independents' interests..
NO WONDER brain dead Democrats got their asses handed to them in 2024..
As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the Democrats face a daunting challenge. Their inability to present a clear message or leadership, combined with their continued alignment with far-left activists and terrorists, leaves them vulnerable. If they hope to regain the trust of patriotic Americans, they must reevaluate their priorities and start listening to the concerns of the people. Otherwise, they risk further alienation and political irrelevance.
But, of course, we all know that brain dead woke progressive Democrats cannot change their course because their course is determined by their TRUMP/AMERICA hate and their PTDS...
So brain dead Democrats will continue with their hate and their bigotry and their intolerance...

A recap of exactly HOW brain dead and Hate America Democrats are would not be complete without a look back on Hunter Biden...
Hunter Biden's life has been a whirlwind of controversy, privilege, and blatant and PROVEN corruption, often overshadowed by the political machinations of his father, President Basement Biden. From his early days as a Yale law graduate to his tumultuous personal life, Hunter's narrative is one of excess and entitlement, with a troubling pattern of leveraging his father's political stature for personal gain.
Despite his numerous missteps—including being discharged from the Navy for a failed drug test (ANOTHER druggie!! surprise surprise..) and engaging in blatantly illegal business dealings—Hunter has received a surprising amount of support from brain dead Democrats. This backing raises questions about the ethical implications of his actions and the extent to which they may have been overlooked due to his familial connections. The Biden family has long been intertwined with political power and corruption and Hunter's ventures, particularly in foreign business dealings, have drawn scrutiny for blatantly ignoring and crossing ethical lines.
One of the most glaring examples of this alleged corruption is Hunter's art sales, which have been criticized as a means of laundering money and maintaining influence. After Joe Biden left office, Hunter's art sales reportedly plummeted by 98%. This decline PROVES that Hunter's paintings scheme was just another way to funnel money into the Biden Crime Family, especially considering the millions he previously garnered for paintings that many critics deemed simplistic and lacking ANY artistic merit whatsoever. The sudden drop in sales suggests that Hunter's marketability was closely tied to his father's position, PROVING beyond ANY doubt the transactional nature of their relationship with power.
Moreover, Hunter's legal troubles have compounded his woes. Despite facing serious charges, including tax evasion and lying on a firearms application, he has often escaped the full consequences of his actions. The Biden administration's handling of Hunter's legal issues has sparked allegations of favoritism, with critics arguing that the justice system has been lenient due to his family ties. The recent indictment and subsequent guilty plea on tax offenses, coupled with the Basement Biden's pardon (a pardon that Basement Biden SWORE he would never give!!) further illustrate the corruption and the lack of ANY accountability within the Biden Crime Family..
As Hunter navigates his precarious situation, brain dead Democrat Party's support raises ethical questions about their complicity in his alleged misdeeds. The apparent double standard in how political figures are treated based on their connections is troubling. While many ordinary citizens face severe repercussions for similar offenses, Hunter's privileged status seems to afford him a level of protection that is not available to most.
So... Kids, let's recap....
Hunter Biden's life is a cautionary tale of privilege, corruption, and the murky AND ILLEGAL waters of political influence. As Hunter grapples with the fallout from his actions, the implications for the Biden Crime Family and the brain dead Democrat Party remain significant, prompting a broader discussion about accountability and ethics in politics.
In other words, NONE of ya'all have ANY moral, legal or ethical leg to stand on when condemning PRESIDENT Trump of ANYTHING...
SILENCE GIVES ASSENT....
I was a little confused by this one:
"So while we personally do find it understandable that Schumer decided to choose the least-bad option available, we also recognize that him doing so sparked a whole lot of disappointment (and rage) among a whole bunch of Democrats. Which is why he's the obvious choice for the Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week this week."
Wait, what? What is the "Most Disappointing Democrat of the Week" if not your - Chris's - judgment about being disappointed on behalf of your readers, and in a larger sense, the Democratic Party community? YOU were not disappointed by Schumer, because you understood his subtle calculus of the least bad response to the budget CR - but you call him out as "Most Disappointing" on behalf of, well, of those who disagree with you on this.
That's going down the wrong road for a pundit, I kind of feel.
Chris gets to decide who is disappointed by whom.
Eliz [21]
Yes, it's his candy store.
I just don't think I remember any earlier "I wasn't disappointed, but others were" approach to this familiar Weigantian column.
I do, if my memory serves me correctly. And, Biden was probably on the receiving end. After all, it is the MOST disappointing Democrat, right ... as in the Democrat who disappoints the most, well, Democrats. :-)
Kick[10]: Thank you for sharing the Congressman's statement. You'll note it was issued a year ago.
Circumstances change and I assume at some point between April 2024 and his death date that he and/or his family and/or his staff realized that he would no longer be able to fulfill the duties of his office. At that point, he/they should have begun the process of replacing him.
The fact remains that until a new Congressional representative is appointed or elected, the constituents of his district have ZERO representation in the U.S. Capital. Their voice is missing from committees and votes on legislation. The citizens of his district are being taxed without representation; THAT is why he deserves a dishonorable mention.
John M from Ct. [20]
I thought that was a strange one, too. It almost seemed like CW wanted to have it both ways. Maybe he needs to come up with a new award when he can't decide how he feels! :)
The MDDOTW award has really never been about how Chris feels. It's about how many Democrats are disappointed by the actions or inaction of a particular Democrat or group of Democrats.
A new award is not necessary, in other words.

Apparently a Hobson's choice for both Schumer and Chris wherein there were no good roads so Chris covered them both and followed the bigger crowd. Given the choices Schumer had, he decided to choose the long road, while those upset with Schumer wanted to take a short road with no discernible map to the trip's end.
I actually believe Schumer made the correct choice of the lousy two, and I would wager a lot of those jockeying for future power actually agree with him but would never admit it.

Thank you for sharing the Congressman's statement. You'll note it was issued a year ago.
Yes, I definitely did not fail to note it was well before the November election.
Circumstances change and I assume at some point between April 2024 and his death date that he and/or his family and/or his staff realized that he would no longer be able to fulfill the duties of his office.
You assume.
At that point, he/they should have begun the process of replacing him.
At that point, someone could have challenged him in the primaries, but they didn't and he easily won with 100% of the votes of his constituents who knew full well that he was undergoing treatment for cancer and had stated he would retire in 2026.
The fact remains that until a new Congressional representative is appointed or elected, the constituents of his district have ZERO representation in the U.S. Capital.
The fact remains they knew exactly who they were electing in 2024 and would probably do it again if they had the chance. That's democracy.
Their voice is missing from committees and votes on legislation. The citizens of his district are being taxed without representation; THAT is why he deserves a dishonorable mention.
Do you think the "citizens of his district" are stupid? "Their voice" elected the man in a landslide, and they were fully aware of exactly whom they were electing, a long-term congressman they'd elected many multiple times. I'm not saying they got what they deserved; I'm saying they knew the candidate they elected.
So let's review: You're now on record opining that Chris gave a Most Impressive Democrat Of The Week award to a person who died because you didn't think a person who died should get a MIDOTW award; however, you definitely think a person who died should get a MDDOTW award because he died.
So shouldn't Chris have given him this award in April 2024 when he should have foreseen he would die in March 2025 from complications of treatment for his cancer? I mean, according to your own prior statements, we shouldn't be giving awards to people just because they die. Serious question.

Sometimes there are just no good answers to a lot of questions, and I am definitely glad you are here. Never leave, please. It's good to toss around ideas with people who have the ability to reason. :)
So let's check in with how many Americans actually APPROVE of the brain dead Democrat Party...
The brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party is currently facing a monumental and decimating crisis, as evidenced by the alarming drop in its favorable ratings in two recent national polls. According to a CNN poll, only 29% of respondents view the party favorably, while a staggering 54% hold an unfavorable opinion.
Get that, children?? ***TWENTY NINE*** percent approval rating... And JL seems to think that PRESIDENT Trump's approval rating is crashing to earth!!! :D
This ***TWENTY NINE*** percent approval rating marks a record low in CNN's polling history, which spans over three decades. The decline is particularly striking when compared to January 2021, just before President Joe Biden took office, when the party enjoyed a favorable rating of 49%.
The LOWEST APPROVAL RATING IN CNN'S 30 YEAR HISTORY!!!
The NBC News poll echoes these findings, revealing that just 27% of registered voters have a positive view of the Democratic Party, the lowest rating recorded since 1990.
And the HITS just keep on COMING!!! Only ***TWENTY SEVEN*** percent approval rating in an NBC News poll!!!
These are DEMOCRAT water carriers and they can't get the brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party up over 30 percent!!! :
BBBBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
This downward trend is compounded by the party's recent electoral setbacks, including the loss of control of the White House and Senate, as well as ZERO influence in the House of Representatives. Notably, Republicans have made inroads among traditionally Democratic voter bases, including Black, Hispanic, and younger voters, further complicating the party's prospects.
Let me repeat that for the cheap seats!!
PRESIDENT Trump and the GOP have made gains in EVERY brain dead Democrat Party voter base!!!
GAINS IN *****EVERY***** Democrat voter base!!!
The internal dynamics within the party are also plummeting. A significant majority of Democrats—57% according to the CNN poll—believe that their leaders should focus on obstructing the GOP agenda rather than seeking bipartisan cooperation. This marks a stark contrast to the early days of PRESIDENT Trump's presidency, when a majority of Democrats favored collaboration with Republicans. The sentiment for a more combative stance is echoed in the NBC News poll, where nearly two-thirds of Democrats prefer that their representatives stick to their positions rather than compromise.
Which is what we are seeing here in Weigantia.. You brain dead morons (NEN) think that HATING on PRESIDENT Trump and HATING on the American people and HATING on POLICE is the way to win..
Yea... Cuz THAT has worked out SO WELL to date, eh?? :eyeroll:
The recent actions of party leaders, such as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's support for a GOP-crafted spending bill, have further fueled hysterical bigotry and intolerance among the party's base. Many progressives feel that such moves betray the party's core values (such as they are) and signal a lack of resolve in opposing the Republican agenda. This discontent is reflected in the poll results, where a significant portion of respondents struggled to identify a political leader who embodies the party's values, with over 30% unable to name anyone.
So... Children, let's recap.... The brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party is dying, grappling with HUGELY and RECORD LOW approval ratings and a ever growing chasm between its leadership and grassroots supporters.
As the party flounders and flails in this ever growing landscape, it must address the concerns of its base while also finding a way to regain the trust of a broader electorate. The coming months will simply be more of the same as the economy and American buying power increase. It's becoming obvious that the brain dead Democrats simply cannot rebound from this low point and they will continue to struggle and get lost further and further into the political wilderness.
SILENCE GIVES ASSENT....
Well, THIS is a MOMENTOUS occasion!!!
Genocide Guy said something I actually agree with!!!
" I'm sorry "
-JMCT, AKA GENOCIDE GUY
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, Genocide Guy..
You ARE sorry... You are VERY sorry..
But you are in good company here in Weigantia..
Everyone else (NEN) are just as sorry as you... Not many are SORRIER because most of them haven't flat out stated that they "can't wait for the next pandemic" and are EXCITED about "Mass deaths" of Americans..
So... you have THAT going for you.. :eyeroll:
WOKE IS DEAD IN AMERICA!!!!! PRESIDENT Trump killed it!!! :D
The recent political climate in America proves that there has been a glorious and fulfilling death of WOKE and DEI. The decisive victory of PRESIDENT Trump, who campaigned on a KILL WOKE platform, indicates a clear and INARGUABLE rejection of these insane bigoted and intolerant ideologies by the American voter. Many believe that the country has totally "moved on" from Woke and DEI, asserting that the election results reflect a collective sentiment that these ideas have gone too far and are Anti American!!
The effectiveness of campaign messaging that framed wokeness as a divisive force simply cannot be overstated. The slogan "Kamala is for they/them, Donald Trump is for you" resonated deeply with voters from ALL political lives across ALL political spectrums. The simple message of love and tolerance encapsulated a BROAD desire to distance themselves from what they perceive as excessive political correctness and bigotry and hatred and intolerance.
PRESIDENT Trumps message not only helped PRESIDENT Trump secure the presidency but also bolstered Republican candidates down the ballot, PROVING that TENS OF MILLIONS of Americans are eager to prioritize unity and common ground over divisive identity politics.
Again, let me repeat that to penetrate the hate and the bigotry of Weigantians…
PROVING THAT TENS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE EAGER TO PRIORITIZE UNITY AND COMMON GROUND OVER DIVISIVE IDENTITY POLITICS
The sentiment that WOKE IS DEAD reflects a growing consensus among Americans who feel that the focus on DEI initiatives has COMPLETELY replaced REAL and IMPORTANT issues with the brain dead Democrat Party.
The clear and inarguable results of the PRESIDENT Trump election win provide a clear mandate from the American people!! Americans are moving past the hate and bigotry and intolerance of WOKE and DEI. The overwhelming American voter support for a candidate who openly and resoundingly rejected WOKE and DEI signals a readiness to embrace a more traditional, more uplifting political discourse. A discourse based on mutual respect and tolerance..
The kind of discourse that JL, Liz and I share... I guess that makes the most sense since the 3 of us actually FOUNDED Weigantia almost TWENTY YEARS ago...
Moreover, there is a strong emphasis on the importance of critical thinking and exposure to diverse viewpoints, especially for younger generations. It is crucial for children to learn about various perspectives, including those associated with wokeness, while also being encouraged to engage in respectful debates. This approach is essential for developing well-rounded individuals capable of navigating a complex world.
The argument is made that the only way to "sharpen the sword" of one's beliefs is through engaging with differing opinions. Having conversations with those who disagree can reveal the weaknesses in one's arguments and foster a more robust understanding of complex issues. This perspective advocates for a balanced approach to education, where children are not sheltered from differing viewpoints but are instead encouraged to think critically and engage in meaningful discussions.
So, kids.. What have we learned??
The narrative surrounding WOKE and DEI in America is a narrative of hate and bigotry and intolerance.. With PRESIDENT Trump's mandate-setting win in the 2024 election, that serves as a pivotal moment, TENS OF MILLIONS of Americans are rejecting these hate-filled and bigoted ideologies in favor of a more unifying political discourse.
As the country moves forward, it may be time for brain dead Democrat political leaders and brain dead Democrats to reassess their priorities and embrace a more inclusive dialogue that transcends the hate-filled and intolerant and divisive rhetoric of the past.
What ya say, guys???

I just LOVE the smell of a brain dead Democrat Party Civil War in the morning!! :D
The ongoing infighting within the brain dead Democrat Party has reached a boiling point laid bare by the recent clash between Senator John Fetterman and Representative Occasional Cortex...
This internal conflict highlights the growing divide between moderate and progressive factions within the Democrat party, as they try to come to grips (and FAIL) with critical issues like government funding and party unity.
Occasional Cortex's outrage over Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's decision to support a House GOP continuing resolution (CR) was palpable. She labeled the Senate Democrats' vote as a "betrayal" of their House colleagues, reflecting a deep frustration with the party's leadership. This sentiment was echoed by some House Democrats, who even suggested the possibility of primarying Schumer for his perceived lack of alignment with progressive values.
In a striking response to Occasional Cortex's claims, Fetterman made it clear where he stands. He expressed his indifference to her views, stating, “I hope you can relay how little I care about her views on this.” His comments underscore a critical point: while Occasional Cortex and her allies focus on ideological purity, Fetterman is concerned about the real-world implications of a government shutdown. He pointedly questioned Occasional Cortex's commitment to the American people, noting that she would still receive her paycheck while millions could suffer from the consequences of a shutdown.
This exchange encapsulates a broader issue within the brain dead Democrat Party. The focus on extreme leftist ideals and performative politics has overshadowed the party's responsibility to address the needs of everyday American voters. As Fetterman aptly pointed out, the party's fixation on opposing PRESIDENT Trump without a viable plan has left them vulnerable and disconnected from the electorate. As evidenced by the FACT that brain dead Democrat Party approval ratings are in the ***MID 20s***!!!!
The reality is that the Democrat Party's internal strife is contributing to its declining popularity. As evidenced by the FACT that brain dead Democrat Party approval ratings are in the ***MID 20s***!!!!
With more and more American voters identifying as Republican and Independents (NPA) and the brain dead Democrat party's polling numbers plummeting ***MID 20s***!!!! the infighting between figures like Fetterman and Occasional Cortex serves as a stark reminder of the fact that the brain dead Democrat Party is toast..
If the Democrats hope to regain the trust of the American people (simply NOT going to happen) they must find a way to bridge the gap between their factions and prioritize the needs of their constituents over ideological battles.
As I said... NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!

OK I am going to stray a bit from my normal posting habits and print verbatim from some comments from Democrats...
Normally I would read these comments and then summarize them for everyone here..
But these comments from actual Democrats say it much better than I can summarize...
All comments have been reprinted with permission..
Keep in mind that these comments are from DEMOCRATS or, in one case, a Trump-Hating Republican.... I'll give me reaction to each comment...
Progressives have backed themselves into a corner, disconnected, even in deep-blue cities, from the very people they profess to serve. Thanks to their uncritical defense of all things branded “woke,” Democrats are now viewed by working-class voters of all races as litigious, censorious, and elitist. Indeed, the Democratic Party is seen as the very opposite of the one whose unifying thread, from Bryan’s heyday through the Seventies, was its respect for the dignity—and judgement—of the common man and woman.
It will take much more that clever rhetoric to change perceptions. Democratic allies sermonise about democracy, pluralism, and the rule of law at the same time that they repeat the self-defeating, self-righteous notion that all voters who have rejected the party’s Soviet-esque succession of leaders are rubes and bigots. Such attitudes are, in a way, akin to Trumpian defiance, but with none of the obvious political benefits.

Basically, Democrats are talking out BOTH SIDES of their asses.. This proves their complete and utter contempt for the American voter and their desire to push their weird and hate-filled ideological agenda even though NO ONE but themselves is buying into it..

Josh Barro, Very Serious Substack, referring to a talk by Pete Buttigieg:
Pete, while critical of many absurd DEI initiatives, pulled his punches, emphasizing the good “intentions” of the identity politics-promoting people who have led Democrats down this road toward being off-putting and unpopular.
These people don’t have good intentions—they have a worldview that is wrong and bad, and they need to be stopped. And while DEI-speak can and does make Democrats seem weird and out of touch, that’s not the main problem with it. The big problem with the approach Pete rightly complains about…is that it entails a strong set of mistaken moral commitments, which have led the party to take unpopular positions on crime, immigration, and education, among other issues. Many non-white voters perceive these positions, correctly, as hostile to their substantive interests.
What worldview am I complaining about? It’s a worldview that obsessively categorizes people by their demographic characteristics, ranks them on how “marginalized” (and therefore important) they are due to those characteristics, and favors or disfavors them accordingly. The holders of this worldview then compound their errors by looking to progressive pressure groups as a barometer of the preferences among the “marginalized” population groups they purport to represent…
The problem here is not really the ten-dollar words…the problem can’t be fixed by dropping words like “BIPOC” from the vocabulary. To stop the bleeding, Democrats need to abandon the toxic issue positions they took because they have the sort of worldview that caused them to say “BIPOC” in the first place.
Democrats should say that race should not be a factor in college admissions. They should say the U.S. government should primarily focus on the needs of its citizens, and that a sad story about deprivation in a foreign country isn’t a sufficient reason that you should be admitted to the U.S. and put up in a New York hotel at taxpayer expense. They should say the pullback from policing has been a mistake. They should say they were wrong and they are sorry! After all, Democrats talk easily about how the party has gotten “out of touch,” but they don’t draw the obvious connection about what happens when you’re out of touch—you get things substantively wrong and alienate voters with your unpopular ideas. To fix that, you have to change more than how you talk—you have to change what you stand for, and stand up to those in the party who oppose that change.
Here again is a Democrat who actually understands and puts into great words how badly brain dead Democrats are frak'ing things up..
Hopefully you brain dead woke progressives will NEVER wise up and realize how badly ya'all are fucking over your own Party...
I am not worried about that happening.. You people (NEN) are too filled with hate and bigotry and intolerance to EVER wise up...
One has to wonder what ya'all are going to do when PRESIDENT Trump leaves office with a 90% approval rating..

I accept your concession on all the other facts that have been posted..
Brain dead woke progressive Democrats say that the ONLY trust NASA to save the stranded astronauts.. Brain dead woke progressive Democrat say that SPACEX can't be trusted because Musk is a NAZI...
Brain dead woke progressive Democrats don't realize that NASA was created by high ranking NAZA Werner Von Braun.. NASA was founded by a NAZA..
Brain dead woke progressive Democrats are brain dead and don't know their asses from a hole in the ground. :eyeroll:
Finally made it to my weekend!!! :D
Allow me to pick up where I left off yesterday...
The Democratic Party is increasingly the party of educated, upper middle-class people. This is a problem, partly because only 38 percent of American adults hold a four year degree, and partly because educated, upper middle-class people are the most annoying twats to ever curse humanity with their presence (and I know this because I’m one of them)…The MAGA movement is a reactionary movement against self-righteous progressive jerk offs, and believe me when I say: When I look at that photo of Democrats holding those stupid paper-plate-and-popsicle-stick paddles, I completely get where MAGA heads are coming from…
Protest culture basically only exists in progressive circles. There’s a type of person who romanticizes protest, and that person is almost always left-wing. Progressives think that when they protest, they’re signaling their opposition to something—and I wouldn’t say that’s not happening—but I think what’s mostly happening is that they’re signaling membership in a cultural group. The more virtue signal-y the protest, the more the cultural weirdness drowns out the message….
When progressives virtue signal, they aren’t just pinning a scarlet “W” for “weird” on their chests; they’re also showing that they don’t share most people’s priorities. And that’s true because feckless, performative protests are a thing that progressives do for each other. Nobody else cares; in fact, most people would like to see the protester fall into a vat of battery acid. And the protest doesn’t do anything…except that it might elicit hands-clapping emojis and “YAS QUEEN”s on Bluesky. When Democrats stage performative protests, they’re making a values statement, and that statement is: “I value plaudits from my progressive peers, not whatever you care about.
-Jeff Maurer, I Might Be Wrong Substack
Brain dead woke progressive Democrats are ALL about the theater of their actions.. The flit from one cause to the next, never really CARING about the cause itself. They simply enjoy the fight. The performance..
It's all nothing but mercenary terrorism... The protest itself is the goal.. Not any change in whatever cause is being protested..
Finally, as promised... The Trump hating Republican....
Ms Peggy Noonan...
Sometimes a party takes a concussive blow, such as the 2024 presidential loss, and you can see: They’ll shape up and come back, they’re pros, they lost an election but not their dignity. But now and then you see: No, these guys don’t know what happened, they are going to lose over and over before they get the message.
What I saw Tuesday night at Trump’s Congressional address is that the Democratic Party in 2025, as evinced by its leaders on Capitol Hill, is too proud and stupid to change…
Here is some advice for the Democrats.
I will start with something they won’t believe. In politics, there is bringing the love and bringing the hate. When the 13-year-old boy who had brain cancer and has always wanted to be a cop is appointed as an honorary Secret Service agent, laminated ID and all, and the child, surprised by the gesture, hugs the normally taciturn head of the Secret Service, the only thing to do, because you are human, is cheer that child. And when the president honors a young man whose late father, a veteran and policeman, had inspired his wish to serve, and dreams of attending West Point, and the president says that he has some sway in the admissions office and young man you are going to West Point—I not only got choked up when it happened I’m choked up as I write. The boy with cancer high-fives the young man, and the only response to such sweetness is tears in your eyes.
That moment is “the love.” It was showing love for regular Americans. To cheer them is to cheer us. It shows admiration for and affiliation with normal people who try, get through, endure and hold on to good hopes.
The Democrats brought the hate. They sat stone-faced, joyless and loveless. They don’t show love for Americans anymore. They look down on them, feel distance from them, instruct them, remind them to feel bad that they’re surrounded by injustice because, well, they’re unjust….
Mr. Trump says: No, man, I love you.
Which is better? Which is kinder, more generous? Which inspires? Which wins?
Democrats have to understand where they are. They have completely lost their reputation as the party of the workingman. With their bad governance of the major cities and their airy, abstract obsessions with identity politics and gender ideology, they have driven away the working class, for whom life isn’t airy or abstract. Democrats must stop listening to the left of the left of their party. It tugs them too far away from the vast majority of Americans. They have been radical on the border, on crime, on boys in the girls’ locker room. They should take those issues off the table by admitting they got them wrong.
-Peggy Noonan
If anyone has any FACTS that prove what Ms Noonan says here is not factually accurate...
"I am all ears"
-Ross Perot, 1992 Presidential Debates
But of course, none of you will have any facts that prove this wrong..
This is EXACTLY why you woke progressive Democrats refuse to look in the mirror to assess the complete and utter drubbing ya'all got in the 2024 election... Because you know that Ms Noonan and the other Democrats posted are dead on ballz accurate and brain dead woke progressive Democrats can't handle the Objective Reality...
No other conclusion fits all the facts...
Now, I am going to throw some new words and new concepts at ya'all… Do try and keep up...
The Democrat Party = The Brahimin Left Party
The term "Brahmin Left" was introduced by economist Thomas Piketty to describe a troubling trend within Western leftist parties, particularly the Democrat Party in the United States.
This phenomenon refers to the increasing dominance of highly educated elites within these parties, while working-class voters, especially those without college degrees, have been progressively alienated by the woke racist/identity politics of the Democrat Party.
The Democrat Party has evolved into a "Brahmin Left" party over several decades, with this shift becoming particularly pronounced in the 21st century. Recent election surveys indicate that this education polarization has only intensified, with a staggering 27-point gap in support between college-educated and non-college-educated voters in the 2024 elections.
This transformation poses existential threats to the formerly liberal Democrat Party. The party's identity as the "woke" or "progressive" alternative is called into question when its most enthusiastic supporters are affluent, educated individuals. What does it mean to champion progressivism if the working class feels that their values and priorities are not represented? The party's fundamental purpose is at risk of being obliterated, as it increasingly caters to the interests of a small, educated elite rather than the broader population it once sought to represent.
In theory, the Democrats could respond to this challenge by fully embracing their Brahmin identity, focusing on attracting more educated voters while redefining progressivism to align with their cultural commitments. However, this approach is fraught with difficulties, particularly given the electoral arithmetic involved. Many Democrats still cling to the notion that they are the party of the downtrodden, leading to a reluctance to fully embrace the Brahmin Left strategy. Consequently, there is a growing chorus within the party advocating for a reconnection with the working class, a goal that is both logical and noble but nearly impossible for the current woke progressive Democrat Party to achieve.
The question remains: how can a party that has been evolving in a Brahmin direction for decades effectively de-Brahminize itself? Some Democrats believe that simply adopting economic populism will suffice, asserting their commitment to the working class. However, this approach is overly simplistic and ignores the deep-seated issues that have led to the party's current predicament. The damage inflicted by decades of Brahminization cannot be undone through mere rhetoric or superficial gestures. Performative politics is simply not enough to fool the American people because the American people have realized that the woke progressive Democrats ARE simply performing..
The facts CLEARLY point to specific policy areas where the Democratic Party has lost touch with working-class voters. Issues such as immigration, crime, and education have become points of contention, with many voters perceiving the party's positions as elitist and disconnected from their realities. The party's embrace of identity politics and woke culture has further alienated those it claims to serve, leading to the realization that brain dead woke progressive Democrats prioritize the interests of a select few over the needs of the broader population.
To regain the trust of working-class voters, the brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party must undergo a profound transformation. This requires not only a shift in rhetoric but also a reevaluation of its core priorities. Democrats need to confront the uncomfortable truth that their current trajectory is unsustainable and that they must prioritize the needs of the working class over the demands of the educated elite.
So, children.. Let's look at what we have learned...
The brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party must take a long, hard look in the mirror. The "Brahmin Left" identity it has adopted is not only detrimental to its electoral prospects but also undermines its former foundational purpose.
Without a decisive break from the priorities that have alienated working-class voters, the brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party is becoming more and more irrelevant in the political landscape.
A new political entrepreneur is needed—one who is willing to challenge the status quo and advocate for the interests of the working class, rather than merely catering to the whims of the educated elite. This new leader needs to FORCE the brain dead woke progressives to look long and hard into the mirror..
Only then can the brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party hope to reclaim its identity as a true champion of liberalism and the working class.
Of course, we all KNOW that brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party would rather DIE than look in that mirror and admit that they are the problem..
So I predict a slow agonizing future for the brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party.
The Party is all ready dead.. It's just too stoopid to realize it..
i conceded nothing in particular. while deputy führer isn't technically an office of the u.s government, musk is doing an excellent job of pretending it is, and Don Gill seems to be supporting the endeavor.
i conceded nothing in particular.
Your silence conceded everything. :D

I know you like to pretend that this is factually accurate..
But, like with "trans" woman who are simply men pretending to be women, the FACTS and the OBJECTIVE REALITY proves that no such analogy exists..
I think it's awesome that, with your advancing years, you can still play pretend with child-like abandon..
I think that's sweet.. :D
What IS it with you brain dead woke progressive Democrats that ya'all are FIGHTING to protect the rights of drug dealers and murderers and rapists and scumbag terrorists???
In a stunning display of judicial overreach, an Odumbo appointed judge has once again shown just how out of touch the brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party is with the realities facing America today.
On March 15th, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg attempted to thwart PRESIDENT Trump’s lawful exercise of authority under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a move that can only be described as a hysterically desperate attempt to keep dangerous criminals on American soil.
Let’s break this down: a ruthless Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, has infiltrated our borders under the Basement Biden administration, spreading their tentacles of terror and crime across the country. This group, which operates in 12 countries and is designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, is not just a minor nuisance; they are trafficking in drugs, guns, and women. Yet, instead of supporting PRESIDENT Trump's efforts to remove these threats, Judge Boasberg decided to play the role of protector for these scumbags and criminals, demanding that planes carrying them back to Venezuela be turned around mid-flight.
What kind of logic is this? The judge’s ruling is not just a legal misstep; it’s a glaring example of how the brain dead woke progressive Democrats prioritize the rights of criminals over the safety of law-abiding citizens. It’s as if they believe that keeping murderers, drug dealers, and terrorists roaming the streets is somehow a noble cause. This is not just brain dead; it’s downright dangerous.
The Alien Enemies Act is clear: it allows the President to act against those who pose a threat to our national security. PRESIDENT Trump was well within his rights to deport members of a gang that has wreaked havoc and terrorized communities. Yet, here we have a brain dead judge, appointed by a former president who famously said, “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” trying to undermine the rule of law and protect those who would do us harm.
This incident is emblematic of a broader trend within the brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party, where the priorities seem to be skewed towards protecting criminals rather than upholding the law. It’s a brain dead party that has lost its way, more concerned with political correctness and ideological purity than with the safety and security of the American people.
In the end, PRESIDENT Trump’s legal authority prevailed, and the Odumbo judge’s ruling was nothing more than a footnote in a larger narrative of a brain dead party that is increasingly out of touch with the needs of its constituents. The brain dead woke progressive Democrats need to wake up and realize that their approach is not just ineffective and bone headed... It’s a direct threat to the safety of every American.
Your silence conceded everything. :D
At least, that's what ya'all claimed when PRESIDENT Trump was "silent" about the events in Chancellorsville..
Ya'all claimed "SILENCE GIVES ASSENT"..

So... Some low-level brain dead political moron in France demanded that the US give back the STATUE OF LIBERTY...
Karoline Leavitt hit back with an EPIC burn...
"My advice to that unnamed low-level French politician would be to remind them that it's only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now -- they should be very grateful to our great country."
Oh... SNAP!!! :D

i didn't think it could be done, but mELakON may have just solved the problem of getting right wingers to buy and support electric cars. folks on the left wanted them already.
I know, right!? Lefties and a lot of Independents have supported EVs for decades, but it should surprise no one in the least that they're now ditching their Teslas in favor of purchasing other brands.
Some of my Rightie friends keep whining about "cancel culture," and I keep correcting them saying it's "can't sell" culture, also known as good old fashioned global capitalism. People all over the world are choosing where to spend their capital, and those "Teslers" are being "kicked to the curb" worldwide.
Musk has been backing neo-Nazi parties around the world and using his Xitter platform to promote extreme right-wing views.
Anyone who supports and promotes neo-Nazis is not someone I choose to support.
NPR??
BBBBBBWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The fact that Victoria Troll actually BELIEVES garbage from NPR is hilarious!!!
Talk about yer retarded brain dead woke progressive Democrat!!!
:D
If there is one thing that is constant it's that we can ALWAYS count on brain dead woke progressive Democrats to double down on stoopid.. :D
The brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party is truly doubling down on stupid, and the evidence is piling up faster than their failed policies.
In the first few weeks of PRESIDENT Trump’s second term, brain dead woke progressive Democrats have shown a remarkable ability to oppose him reflexively, even when it means siding with the most absurd positions imaginable. It’s as if they’ve taken a collective vow to ignore objective reality and embrace the ludicrous.
Take, for instance, the Democrats’ response to PRESIDENT Trump’s foreign policy achievements. While he has successfully negotiated ceasefires in Ukraine and Gaza, the party’s media allies are busy painting him as a “Merchant of Death.” Seriously? NY SLIMES has gone from calling PRESIDENT Trump a racist to now suggesting he’s responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands. This hyperbole is not just ridiculous; it’s a desperate attempt to cling to a narrative that has long since lost ANY semblance of credibility.
Then there’s the issue of biological men competing in women’s sports. Despite overwhelming public support for the Protecting Women in Sports Act—where 80% of Americans believe biological men should not compete against biological women brain dead woke progressive Democrats voted against it. Their reasoning? It’s just a “shiny object” in the culture wars. This blatant disregard for the voices of their constituents is not only tone-deaf; it’s a recipe for electoral disaster. And that recipe finished baking in November of 2024..
And let’s not forget the brain dead woke progressive Democrats’ bizarre obsession with cursing as a form of authenticity. When Rep. Jasmine Crockett told Elon Musk to “fuck off” it was a clear signal that the party is more interested in shock value than substantive discourse.
This is the same party that, in a misguided attempt to appear relatable, had 23 lawmakers reading from the same script, starting with “Shit that ain’t true.” If this is their idea of authenticity, they’re in serious trouble.
The brain dead woke progressive Democrats are also clinging to the status quo when it comes to government efficiency. While 70% of voters recognize the waste and fraud in government spending, the party continues to scream about protecting it. This is not just out of touch; it’s a blatant refusal to acknowledge the FACTS and the objective reality that voters are fed up with inefficiency.
In short, the brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party is trapped in a cycle of doubling, tripling and quadrupling down on stupidity. They are ignoring the will of the people, embracing absurd narratives, and resorting to juvenile antics in a desperate bid for relevance. If they don’t wake up and start listening to voters, they’ll find themselves on the wrong side of history—and the ballot box for the next few decades at least...

while deputy führer isn't technically an office of the u.s government, musk is doing an excellent job of pretending it is, and Don Gill seems to be supporting the endeavor.
Deputy Führer Melakon a.k.a. Elon Musk definitely made that inference while speaking to the far-right AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) neo-Nazis:
"I think you really are the best hope for Germany."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmV4sVWQLyQ
That's happening in Germany.. Who gives a fuck!??
Brain dead Democrats like retarded Victoria Troll are protecting HAMAS terrorists HERE IN THE US..
Boring…
And yet, you read every comment... religiously!
BBBBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Whatta retard....
Did I? A quick skim showed you haven’t come up with a new idea in weeks, punctuated by a weak slur…
Deputy Führer Melakon a.k.a. Elon Musk reposted the following on his Xitter feed (then deleted it due to massive backlash):
Incompetent and quite transparent of Musk to endorse the blaming of "public sector workers" for the mass genocide of millions worldwide while absolving dictators like Hitler.
Meanwhile, Melakon and his clueless defenders seem at a complete loss as to why he is having trouble selling those "Teslers" to millions of people who serve their nations, states, counties, and cities worldwide. How pathetic is that?
That's happening in Germany.. Who gives a [bleep]!??
apt citation. I believe that was charles lindbergh, of the (original) America First committee.
