Democrats Form a Circular Firing Squad and It’s Awesome

When your enemies are destroying themselves, let them. There’s no point in firing on your enemy when your enemy is busy firing on themselves, and that’s what Democrats are doing. And it is glorious. 

Circular firing squads used to be a staple on the right, which can happen when you’re dealing with a group of individuals who think for themselves. On the other hand, the collectivist Borg are not known for dissent. That’s why even a little bit of disagreement has them crumbling like a mud hut in an earthquake.

When New York Senator Chuck Schumer changed his mind and voted for the continuing resolution, averting a government shutdown, Democrats were broken. They were already a group held together by hate and ignorance, and that glue fell apart. 

Nancy Pelosi, the lady who got richer than most towns in the country while engaging in “public service,” released a statement encouraging Democrat Senators to oppose their leader. She released a statement reading, in part, “Democratic senators should listen to the women. Appropriations leaders Rosa DeLauro and Patty Murray have eloquently presented the case that we must have a better choice: a four-week funding extension to keep government open and negotiate a bipartisan agreement. America has experienced a Trump shutdown before - but this damaging legislation only makes matters worse. Democrats must not buy into this false choice. We must fight back for a better way. Listen to the women, For The People.”

As far as “following the women” goes, the women in question are idiots, you shouldn't follow them to the mailbox, let alone off the cliff. 

Think what you will of the people involved, I do love watching these people fight amongst themselves. It’s like watching a power struggle in a terrorist organization – it couldn’t happen to a nicer, more deserving group of people.

Democrat and former Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema had a laugh at the expense of her own party, many members of which spent a lot of time stabbing her in the back for refusing to kill the filibuster, by pointing out how many of her former colleagues who wanted to end the filibuster because it had “racist” roots, tried to use it to block the CR. “Who has made the sprdsht showing: -  senators/candidates on record to eliminate the filibuster -  same senators who voted to filibuster today - bonus points for add’l column listing April 7, 2017 signers of letter to  @SenMcConnell  saying preserve the filibuster,” she asked on X.

Well, it seems someone did. “Turns out, someone HAS made the spreadsheet. Bless this platform,” she replied to herself, adding the spreadsheet showing pretty much every Democrat was a complete fraud. 

They truly are gross people, aren’t they?

The corporate media is beside itself – they hate seeing Democrats fighting the way kids hate watching their parents fight. They’re more used to what you might stumble upon at a 1970s “key party” than a disagreement.

Rachael Bade, who is somehow a “journalist” and a columnist (which, honestly, editorial standards should not allow since one is supposed to be unbiased and the other is, by its very nature, the opposite), posted, “The Trump administration must be loving this. Stocks are tanking because of tariffs… Polling suggests the public is turning on DOGE And yet…  the biggest story in Washington right now is that Hakeem Jeffries is dodging questions about whether Chuck Schumer should be leader.  ... Something I've never seen in my tenure covering Congress.” (As you can see, she desperately needs an editor.)

Stocks are tanking? They’re down, sure, but that’s what happens when you shut off the government spigot of inflationary spending and stop cooking the books as far as unemployment numbers go – the Biden administration’s policies of building a house of cards is as dead as Joe’s brain – but it is nothing new. Market corrections happen all the time. They’re only ever an issue among the corrupt, desperately trying to score political points in the short-term with people who have the attention span of a gnat. 

I do so love watching Democrats fight with each other, like a horribly ugly Jell-O wrestling match – the participants are gross, but you watch hoping someone lands a serious, knock-out blow. When your enemy is bloodying themselves, get out of the way and enjoy the view.
