With the establishment media serving as their propaganda arm for decades, the Democrats aren’t used to be challenged, and it showed when “Jesse Watters Primetime” producer Johnny Belisario went up to Capitol Hill to ask a few of our self-anointed moral superiors why they sat on their hands and scowled not only when President Trump, during his speech to a joint session of Congress, was speaking about policy measures they opposed, but even when he introduced a survivor of brain cancer and the mother of a murder victim.
You’ll be shocked! — shocked! — to learn that none of those who were asked gave a straight answer, or dared to enunciate the truth that everyone knows but no one on the Democrat side of the aisle wants to state: the Democrat Party doesn’t stand for anything anymore except that it is opposed to Donald Trump. Anything he does, even if he cured cancer or ended war forever, will be something they’re against, no matter what it is.
And so Belisario approached Sen. Cory Booker (D-Spartacus) and pointed out mildly that “you didn’t stand up for anything.” Booker offered this explanation: “The president got before the American people and didn’t talk about how he could drive down grocery prices.”
Considering who was responsible for driving grocery prices up in the first place (hint: his name rhymes with Mold Schmoe Hidin’), harping on inflation is not the banger of a response that Booker and other Democrats evidently think it is. Nor does it explain why Booker sat on his hands and scowled when Trump was talking about a courageous young teen who beat cancer.
Belisario moved on to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Cherokee Nation) who pointed out that she wasn’t mindlessly opposed to everything Trump said or did. “I did clap,” she insisted, “when he said that the United States has supported Ukraine.” Fox News, however, adds that Belisario went on to ask Pocahontas why she didn’t applaud when Trump introduced the mother of Laken Riley, a nursing student who was murdered by an illegal migrant while out for a jog at the University of Georgia. Predictably, “when pressed on why she did not clap for Riley’s mother, she declined to respond.”
It’s easy to understand why she didn’t. Warren was a fervent supporter of Old Joe Biden’s open-border policies, which the murderer of Laken Riley, José Antonio Ibarra, took advantage of when he entered the country in Sept. 2022. To applaud the grieving mother of someone who was killed because of policies she supported was too much for Warren, as it would have given her next electoral opponent ready footage to use in campaign ads skewering her for hypocrisy. And getting re-elected is what it’s all about, right?
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Get Trump) dismissed the idea that there was anything in Trump’s speech worth applauding, sniffing: “There was nothing the president had to say that was either factual or truthful.” Schiff’s statement, of course, was neither factual nor truthful. There was certainly no lie in Trump’s applauding of the young cancer survivor, or in his words against revenge porn, or in numerous other aspects of his speech, and Schiff was about as credible here as he was when he claimed to have proof of Trump’s collusion with Russia. Nevertheless, when Belisario asked him about “a CBS News survey found that 76% of viewers, who were primarily Republican, approved of Trump’s speech, citing his focus on reducing government waste, imposing tariffs, and securing the border,” Schiff remained steadfastly dismissive, saying: “I don’t know what speech they were watching…it really wasn’t worth watching.”
Belisario also caught up with Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu), who responded: “You need to get away from me.” Hey, that’s great advice for everyone.
The usual sane Democrat, Sen. John Fetterman (D-Kind of R) was the only one to admit that the Democrats’ tantrum during the speech was not the best look for a party from which Americans are turning away in droves as they realize the full extent of how it has betrayed their interests. “I don’t think that was the best look for our party last night,” Fetterman said, and that was a polite way of putting it.
The Democrats persist in thinking that hatred of Trump can substitute for a coherent policy that is clearly in the interests of Americans. As long as they persist in this, they’re going to drive their party right over a cliff.
The Democrats think their theatrics are a substitute for policies. I’m a Boomer, myself, so I can say it – they are mostly old Boomers who long for the days of hootenanies (sp? – it’s been a long time) and civil rights and anti-war marches and are trying to re-live their youth. The worst was Francis Collins’ guitar song efforts about “science.” This is the same guy who wanted Fauci to do a “devastating takedown” of the Great Barrington Declaration, which was entirely correct, and the real scientists who were behind it. How’s that for dedication to “science?”
Yes, all the geriatrics and their minions have Selma envy. They wanted to be the heroes but they aren’t willing to sacrifice themselves to their own cause. Somehow they are the victims and heroes in every story they tell. Because they have nothing else.
The Dems are just to proud to admit their total Failures and they blew it big
Schiff: “There was nothing the president had to say that was either factual or truthful.” Ironic coming from the clown car who lied over and over again about the Russia Hoax and got censured for it.
Omar: “You need to get away from me.” Does she smell bad? Did she poop her panties?
What a party these idiots are. I wonder why they lost so badly last November?

When a former president skips an inauguration, that is what can be called setting precedent for uncivilized behavior. There is plenty of shameful showboating and mockery to go around and the entire federal government has ridiculous and disruptive people “on both sides.” Grow up and run a country. I am paying for it.
Hmmmmm. Why isn’t anyone saying what really is the problem with the Dems. Their reponse was obviously demonic, satanic and depraved. Not a modicum of compassion or empathy. Empty. Void of character. A putrid stench on a great speech and a great evening. They looked like the bunch of zombies they have become. They have sold their souls to the devil and will reap the eternal consequences.
There, at least now someone has said it !

They could have, at least, dressed appropriately for the occasion. Big shiny red noses, size 30DD shoes and checkerboard vests would have sent the message. Jeepers, they didn’t even have the rubber band and the little red ball stapled to their paddles. All signs of a group identity crisis, among other things.
