The current Dem leadership is like an icky, sanctimonious teenage/young college student who berates their parents and then asks for the car keys plus money to go out so they can continue to berate their parents and capitalism with friends. In LA, our local wannabe AOC, including the dimples, blamed a car company that allows catalytic converters to be easily stolen. The company is to blame for our suffering. This same logic is why so many items are locked up in stores. The stores made things too easy to steal - it is their fault! Of course, to pay for their sins, the stores have no customers as it all went to Amazon. Somehow, Amazon packages being stolen is not blamed on Amazon. Funny how that works.

I’m no fan of the Republican Party at all but at least they are competent, well-led and know how to play politics. The Democratic Party is like a sinking ship 🚢 that is constantly seeing new holes pop up every five seconds taking on yet more water. This much I can assure you of, if FDR, Harry Truman, Henry Wallace, JFK, RFK, LBJ, Hubert Humphrey, Mike Mansfield, John McCormack, Adlai Stevenson, Estes Kefauver, Ted Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Bob Graham, and Barbara Jordan were alive today they’d be appalled at what the Democratic Party has become and how it’s elected officials behave. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are both dolts who don’t know the first thing about effective political strategy. All the Democrats know how to do is virtue signal, do performative activism and take photo ops, whine and cry like petulant children, and throw a tantrum when President Trump gives a speech to Congress. They are so petty and so childish they wouldn’t even stand to honor a little boy with brain cancer D.J. Daniel, who Trump had made a Secret Service Agent, Laken Riley’s mom, a farmer, a girl injured while competing in a sporting event against a Transgender athlete, and an Afghanistan veteran. The only time they clapped was when Trump brought up sending military aid to Ukraine, one of their pet political projects. That’s how petty and addicted to partisanship they are. They also held these silly little signs that made them look like preschoolers on a day out. They had silly captions like “lie!” or “Musk steals!” AOC didn’t even attend and instead filmed a livestream where she complained like a teenage girl and talked you know what about Trump and the Republicans. You’re right Adam, the Democrat Party is rewarding and encouraging bad behavior thus making things worse and perpetuating it. They enable and celebrate it furthermore. Their seen as doing some sort of brave act of resistance against the President. Rep. Al Green of Texas embarrassed and made a total clown of himself by heckling Trump from the chamber. I remember when the story was being discussed on Facebook the next day I remember seeing people saying stuff like “Good Trouble!” As if Al Green and his fellow Rugrats were somehow equivalent to the brave heroes of the Civil Rights Movement. Give. Me. A. Break! Their more equivalent to the Muppet Babies! Which is frankly an insult to the Muppet Babies. Seriously! They make Charli D’Amilio or Addison Rae look like refined, mature adults by comparison! If the Democratic Party is to become a viable political party again they need to look beyond partisanship and their silly antics, and start working with Trump and the GOP to serve their constituents! Also, it might also help to run on a real policy platform, have a clear and consistent message, stand for something, have competent leadership, move back towards the center, and stop identity politics, political correctness, cancel culture, call out culture, and gender ideology. Oh how Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson are rolling over in their graves at today’s Democratic Party! If only we had Democrats the caliber of George McGovern, Birch Bayh, Frank Church, Edmund Muskie, Sam Rayburn, Walter Mondale, Alben Barkley, Shirley Chisholm, Patsy Mink, Pat Schroeder, and Tom Daschle today! At this point, things are so bad for the party I’m sure the base in pining for Eliot Spitzer, Anthony Weiner and Andrew Cuomo’s return!
