Rep. DeLauro, now one of the de facto leaders of the Democratic party, issues a statement immediately:

“I strongly oppose this full-year continuing resolution, which is a power grab for the White House and further allows unchecked billionaire Elon Musk and President Trump to steal from the American people. By essentially closing the book on negotiations for full-year funding bills that help the middle class and protect our national security, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have handed their power to an unelected billionaire.

“Elon Musk and President Trump are stealing from the middle class, seniors, veterans, working people, small businesses, and farms to pay for tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. They have made it harder for Americans to get their Social Security benefits; shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which has saved American families $21 billion; fired 6,000 veterans and reportedly plan to make it harder for veterans to access benefits by firing an additional 80,000 VA employees; laid off hundreds of workers who build and maintain critical nuclear weapons; and shut down medical research labs. House Republicans’ response: hand a blank check to Elon Musk.”

He is shutting down their future.

And yet the fossilized Democratic establishment thwarted his two presidential runs. They then ran Kamala’s campaign as a reprise of the one that got Trump into the White House the first time. They wanted to prove that the strategies they used to elect Obama could somehow continue to work.   Axelrod, Plouffe, et. al. scored wins for Obama that eventually came at a huge price to the Democratic party, which was in tatters by the time Obama left. Furthermore, the policies they advised Obama to adopt led directly to the rise of fascism here. But the Democratic establishment would apparently prefer the Dems keep losing rather than examining any of their terminally flawed assumptions about how to govern and how to win elections.

(remind you of someone?)

Most particularly,Musk’s smoke-and-mirrors incarnation as a visionary genius. Only populations as credulous as our corporate media, our international investment community, and our nation of star-worshipping groupies could have taken that one seriously. 

he instinctively reaches for his go-to strategy: insulting someone, usually the reporter asking the question. His mental disablement is also evident in the blank, confused look in his eyes.

Notice how goofy he got on Rogan’s podcast (its ratings now superseded by the Meidas Touch) when he tried to launch that tired old canard about Social Security being a “Ponzi scheme”?

and contempt for American democracy in one loathsome discharge–as do his fellow Republicans–as they assail Americans who exercise their democratic rights as somehow being funded by George Soros.  The GOP is morally and patriotically bankrupt.

Happy you’re still married to the monster you’ve created, Usha?

Vance goes to Germany to promote neo-Naziism, he participates in a Stalinist-style humiliation of Zelenskyy, he mouths and promotes every foul, death-dealing policy of Herr Trump, and now his characteristic tone of barely-contained hormonal outrage is directed at protestors confronting him about his betrayal of Ukraine while he’s out “walking” his child.

Btw, how many children in the Sudan are dead, J.D.,  because your regime cancelled funding that had already been approved to deliver food to the desperate?

Vance couldn’t care less; he’s interested only in spinning another sham victimization narrative.

Video of the encounter does not justify his claim that his child was being menaced.  Plus, isn’t he always accompanied by security?

Showing you exactly what he’s made of,  Vance calls the protesters “shit people.”

What a vile degenerate he is.

by appointing uncultured fascist battle axes Ingraham and Bartiromo to the KC board. They are a blight on American culture, as is the entire board, as is Trump himself, of course.

Let’s remember that the legitimate board instantly caved to Trump and resigned the moment he snapped his little fingers. Has ONE Democrat stood up to protest this? Oh, David Axelrod might not like it.

The Democrats’ cowardice aside, the Associated Press reports that the fallout from Trump’s unprecedented conquest of the KC has also been “unprecedented.”

And we’ve only just begun.

They couldn’t be more feeble if that were actually true. 

Ralph Nader insists there be: “No more excuses for the failing Democratic Party and its contracting out of electoral campaigns to profiteering corporate-conflicted political/media consulting firms.” NO to “the corporate Democrats who allowed the disastrous loss last November to the most corrupt, cruel, bigoted, and greedy GOP since its founding in 1854.”
