Democrats: The Silliness of Those Who Govern This Nation

. . . [Pelosi] has no class, no grace. She is a blight on her district, the House of Representatives and our country. Her inscribed pens certainly belie her pretense that the moment was "prayerful" and "historic." It is all a cheap, contemptible exercise in futility. Her legacy will be forever tainted by her mendacious participation in the worst political scandal in American history.

Rich Terrell

Pelosi: Pretense, posturing, perfidy, and pens  "Has there ever been a more disingenuous person in politics than Nancy Pelosi?  Of course, there have been many phony, hypocritical politicians over the course of American history, but few who have quite risen to the appalling behavior of Speaker Pelosi (or Adam Schiff).  Even as she visibly declines mentally - she can barely utter a coherent sentence - her party continues to pretend she is not only relevant but that she is lucid, a master strategist.
. . . "Nancy Pelosi's record will be justly eviscerated by future historians for her leadership role in the hoax.  Adam Schiff will be remembered by historians for his blatant abrogation of nearly all constitutional dictates that the founders laid out regarding impeachment and for his pathological lies and his maniacal crusade to unseat a duly elected President.  He is his district's cross to bear.

"The final nail in the coffin of Pelosi's reputation to date is her using a platter full of pens imprinted with her signature with which she signed the two stupid articles of impeachment. "

CNN and MSNBC: Video Montage: Craziest Media Commentary During Delivery of Articles of Impeachment  " ‘It’s beyond formality; there is something almost religious to it’ "

Democrats show their hand as Senate impeachment proceedings begin  . . . "Again, the one thing we know with certainty is that the point of this impeachment is not to remove a president who engaged in treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors in a way that shocked the nation’s conscience. It is, instead, to remove an unusually successful president without the risk of an election; to hamper his ability to function while in office; and to throw a lifeline to Joe Biden’s flailing candidacy." From CNN:

Fake history is a lot like fake news -- left-leaning propaganda devoid of truth and substance.  . . . "The falsely proclaimed historical importance of the Articles of Impeachment against Donald Trump is fake history and no phony pomp and circumstance can change that. What is real are Donald Trump’s accomplishments in making America great again."

Ann Coulter: We, Too, Can Be a Failed Latin American State

Chavez didn't seize power in a military coup. There was no revolution. He wasn't imposed on Venezuelans by the C.I.A. He was the people's choice...  

Townhall   "The left's enthusiasm for Third World immigrants isn't only because they vote 8-2 for the Democrats. It's that Latin American peasants seem uniquely amenable to idiotic socialist schemes.
"You probably think it's beyond silliness for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren to keep promising FREE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL! NO PREMIUMS! NO CO-PAYS! ILLEGAL ALIENS, TOO! EVERYBODY GETS A PONY!
"No one could be gullible enough to fall for that.
" I refer you to the economic powerhouse that is Latin America.
"Based on hundreds of years of indigenous people voting for politicians who made similar promises, Latin America has become the dream factory that it is today. That's why Tegucigalpa is practically a byword for "technological innovation," Santiago was the picture of calm sophistication this weekend, and Caracas is the ultimate in modern conveniences. "Perhaps you missed the article in last Saturday's New York Times on what socialism has done for the water system in Venezuela:
" 'The brick shack on the outskirts of Venezuela's capital is crowded with tubs, jugs and buckets. The water they hold must last the family of eight for a week -- but it's not enough for frequent washing or flushing, so the kitchen is filled with greasy pots and the house smells of stale urine.
" 'And none of the water is treated, making diarrhea and vomit a regular occurrence.
" 'We practically live in the bathroom,' said the mother of the family ... [Her daughter] sat nearby, pale and listless, recovering from her latest bout of diarrhea just one month away from childbirth."
"Democrats: We need some of that Latin American magic!
"Twenty years ago, 60 percent of Venezuelans had regular access to safe drinking water. Today, only 30 percent do. How did this happen?
"Answer: Poor Venezuelans voted for it. If we let them in, they'll vote for it here, too. (Except 20 percent, who will be patriotic Americans, i.e. Republicans.)" . . .

Buttigieg: Using a Straw or Eating a Burger Means You Are ‘Part of The Problem’

"Compares climate change to the Great Depression, World War II"

Al Thompson III at Kelli Katts!

Ignorance and silliness on display as Democrats race down climate change rabbit hole  . . . "Last week’s marathon CNN climate forum makes it clear: Dorian blew what remained of Democrat common sense right off the map.
. . . "Beto, who can often be counted on for comic relief, related telling his son that the family would move to Washington, D.C., in the unlikely event of his election (he may not have framed it exactly that way) – because that’s where the White House is and because, after all, El Paso was going to quickly become uninhabitable thanks to global warming.
. . . "Common-sense Americans won’t buy it, either. As Democrats tumble down the climate change rabbit hole, they may find the price of “owning” climate change is extremely high indeed."

The Silly Beto O’Rourke Ejects Breitbart News Reporter from Event at Historically Black College

Beto O’Rourke Ejects Breitbart News Reporter from Event at Historically Black College
The Trump campaign responded. . . . "What was Beto's Campaign's justification? That Pollack had allegedly been "disruptive" at past events."

Victor Davis Hanson: How Robert O’Rourke Became ‘Beto’  "A great deal of controversy has continued the past few days over Robert Francis O’Rourke’s longtime use of a nickname given to him at birth (albeit temporarily jettisoned while in prep school) — especially in the wake of his recent sensational and unfounded charges that Donald Trump is directly responsible for the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and that white supremacy defines America, past and present, and explains Trump’s culpability.

"The point of the amused contention is not that O’Rourke was given such a nickname at or near birth. Rather, the controversy is over his continued use of the sobriquet for cynical political advantage in a somewhat related manner to Senator Elizabeth Warren’s longtime false cultural appropriation of a Native American identity for careerist purposes. After all, we live in a progressive era in which “cultural appropriation” is a mortal sin and non-minority university students are routinely chastised for wearing clothing or hairstyles associated with minority groups or appearing in dramas playing the roles of characters of a different ethnic background.

"According to the Dallas Morning News, a quite prescient senior O’Rourke once explained why he had given the shortened form of the Spanish “Roberto” to his son as a nickname. And he seemed to imply that such naming was for political reasons in addition to avoiding confusing young Robert with his maternal grandfather of the same first name: . . ."

The Silliness of Being Woke  . . . "Because being woke is something that is exclusively a white phenomena- being a white, straight, male makes you the ultimate oppressor- and that badge of courage is white guilt.  Just look at those two Democratic candidates: O’Rourke and Swalwell.  Both are lily white (despite the “Beto” moniker) and both have professed their guilt for being white.  The ultimate virtue signal is, of course, slavery reparations.  Reparations are supposedly a means of atonement for slavery where people having nothing to do with slavery make payments to people having nothing to do with slavery.  It is the ultimate virtue signal with a monetary price tag." . . .

File under American silliness: AOC Comes Out Swinging In Rant Against Racist Cauliflower

The Federalist Papers  "New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is running out of things to be outraged about and has now moved to vegetables.

"In video rant the 29-year-old said that planting the popular vegetable, grown in Mexico, is a “colonial approach” that oppresses minorities." . . .

Remember when leftists said the sun is racist?  . . . 'But AOC’s constant use of the Race Card and attacks on white people is reminiscent of the idiotic race-baiting of leftists in August 2017, when they insisted that the sun was racist. Why? Because the main path of the great Solar Eclipse of 2017 passed mostly through states that voted for President Trump." . . .

“Veggie Tales” Now Racist According To SJWs Because Of Course It Is  "If it exists, it’s racist. That’s the kind of misery the social justice-obsessed have to live in constantly, as they are unable to enjoy the simple things due to their crusade to rid the world of everything they don’t like. One of those things is the kid’s cartoon “Veggie Tales,” which is apparently racist now according to some students at Cal State San Marcos. During a “Whiteness Forum” that looks critically at the problem of whiteness, students were encouraged to find racism in things we enjoy in order to train their critical eye. One group of students said the NFL was racist since the players were black but the coaches were white. Another group said that Veggie Tales is racist because the good guys are white, and the bad vegetables are ethnic." . . .

Gender Studies Professor Says ‘White People Own Time’: ‘If Time Had a Race, It Would Be White’  . . . "When a person – “usually” a white person, according to Cooper –  accuses black people of being “stuck in the past,” they are evidencing the racial foundations of time." (Photo, right)

Welcome to Democrats 2020: “Mayor Pete” Buttigieg Regrets Saying “All Lives Matter”  . . . "On Thursday, after speaking to the largely African American audience, Buttigieg told reporters he didn’t initially realize how the phrase “all lives matter” was used to undercut and “devalue” the Black Lives Matter movement. “Since learning about how that phrase was being used to push back on that activism, I stopped using it,” the mayor said." . . .

I’m not sure what’s more appalling here. That Beto O’Rourke lied in the manner he did, by invoking Nazi Germany, or the fact that the mainstream media by and large will give him a pass on every bit of it.  . . . Apparently this is the week 2020 presidential candidate Robert “Beto” O’Rourke has chosen to veer off even further to the left.

"On Wednesday, the former El Paso Congressman kissed Rev. Al Sharpton’s ring while eagerly declaring (newfound) support for reparations. And on Thursday in Iowa, O’Rourke unequivocally compared President Trump to Adolf Hitler, taking a page straight out of the far left’s 2020 “take back the White House” playbook."

White Vermont Schools Display Black Lives Matter Flags  . . . "Thus, Vermont awaits a new school curriculum for pre-K through 12 that will incorporate the previously unrecognized contributions of queer, questioning, and transgender colonial pioneers, Civil War heroes, and 19th-century orators.  This unchallenged legislation is as vague as BLM's platform, cloaked in the magic race card." . . . There, that should put to rest all the guilt trips.
