That’s All Folks

Seeing all the democrats assembled en masse for the joint assembly was truly a frightening sight to behold. The Republicans really don’t have anything to compare to that cast of remarkably abrasive cartoon characters. Sure, we have the Turtle McConnell representing the old guard, and we have MTG and Boebert to counter the “squad,” but yikes, Schumer, Pelosi, Maxine, Bernie, Liz Warren, Blumenthal, Sheldon Whitehouse, and Al Green are largely antiquities and the new guard features Hakeem “dead-eyes” Jeffries, AOC, Tlaib, Omar, Pressley, Feng-Feng Swalwell, Wasserman-Schultz, Crockett and Adam Schiff. Wow, you can’t make this stuff up. Talk about Looney Tunes. 

State Of The Union

What a disgusting display by the democrats. They find themselves on the wrong side of every issue, yet they double down and try to appeal to their tiny core constituents of left-wing progressive ideologues. Not a good look. Republicans have had their PR disasters as well… recall the “you lie” episode….and have done their share of stone-faced sitting on their hands during opposition addresses to Congress, but this was beyond the pale. The juvenile signs, the little round placards displaying FALSE, were just misplaced political theater. Sure, they didn’t choose to shout it out at a silent moment like Wilson did, instead opting for a continuous, disrespectful, distracting cacophony—same thing for children. And nobody is proposing cuts to that sacred progressive bloated cow Medicaid, just eliminating waste and abuse…..and won’t that provide more money for services for those who genuinely need it?  The “pushing granny over the cliff” narrative is just insulting the intelligence of voters. Like granny, it’s old and tired—time to retire. And Al Green’s cane-shaking diatribe was ridiculous and inappropriate, giving Mike Johnson the perfect opportunity to look composed and mature. Thank you very much, Al.  You should take your medication. Now I understand that the left is sticking with the narrative that Elon is an unelected threat to government programs, which are in place to waste trillions of taxpayer funds on DEI initiatives in Mozambique or some other third-world backwater that mercifully has never heard of RuPaul, but not even to applaud the heart-wrenching stories of the kid with brain cancer, or the families of slain police officers, or families of children murdered by immigrant gang members, or the family of the firefighter struck down by an assassins bullet meant for Trump….that is a disconnect with the emotions of the American public. And that makes you not just partisan but a bunch of mean-spirited, unpleasant people totally out of touch, not just with mainstream Americans, but with the rest of the human race. And while these touching stories unfolded, there you were: Pelosi sucking on her dentures, Bernie Sanders glowering, and AOC choosing not to attend, instead “live tweeting” her reactions…..like anyone outside of your yuppie gentrified enclave cares what you think, especially after you proved yourself a vacuous insubstantial empty pantsuit unable to answer softball questions with any gravitas in your recent NPR interview with the perennially liberal Steve Inskeep.  How embarrassing. Face it, Trump is on a roll, his policies are popular with the American electorate, and you cretins are on the wrong side of public opinion, no matter how you spin it. Your party is in desperate need of a makeover; your tactics are old and tired and appeal to an increasingly uncouth, vulgar, misaligned radical wing of your base where compromise is never an option, even on policies that are not only popular but represent American values. Eliminating waste fraud and abuse of taxpayer money, eliminating men from competing in women’s sports, seeking peace in Ukraine and the Middle East, enforcing our borders, and protecting American interests here and abroad are not Republican values or Trump policies; they are common sense American values. And the sooner the democrats realize that America First is not just a campaign slogan but should be a thought foremost in the minds of all elected officials, the sooner they can resume their place in working with republicans to make America great again and restore the public’s faith in Congress. And that’s not a bad thing.
