Julio Julio, You're ‘Freaking Everybody Out’

Julian Castro and Stunt Double Joaquin 

NB - One of the great things about the Democratic primary debates so far, is how they so clearly expose the radical nature of today’s Democratic Party. That fact wasn’t lost on CNN following the second debate as they grilled former HUD Secretary Julian Castro; urging him to find another way to campaign on immigration and not call for “decriminalizing” illegal border crossings, a.k.a. “open borders.”

CNN’s struggle with Castro was perfectly encapsulated in the back and forth between the candidate and commentator Van Jones, who urged for another solution because the current proposal was “freaking everybody out”: “I mean, is there some other answer, man? Cause, your answer has got the right motivation to try to protect those kids. But it seems like it’s causing political problems,” Jones whined.

Chief political analyst Gloria Borger cautioned Castro Trump would attack his plan if he was nominated. "You’ll be running against Donald Trump, who wants to build a wall. And they can say about you: open borders. Open borders. All you want to do is open borders.  How do you respond to that quickly and say, ‘I really don't want to have open borders’ when you want to decriminalize?"

After Castro argued that any suggestion he was in favor of open borders was an untrue Republican talking point, senior political reporter Nia-Malika Henderson countered by pointing to a former Obama administration official who felt the same way:  "You said it's a right-wing Republican talking point. But it's also Jeh Johnson’s talking point the DHS secretary wrote where he said your plan to decriminalize the immigrants crossing into the border illegally; he said It was essentially open borders. So, it isn't a Republican talking point."

It's very telling that Democrats in the Media are beginning to freaking out that their slate of candidates are so open and brazenly campaigning for such radical things like open borders and free healthcare for the entire western hemisphere's poor population that will overrun the borders, and that will most certainly cost them another election. They themselves helped create this monster.  Carry On!

Remind Me Again of Who's Extreme??

When third tier candidates polling at 0% and Marianne Sparkleshine Stardust Williamson sound like the most sane candidates on the debate stages, the Dems have a real problem calling anyone extreme. And Joe Biden could soon find himself just wreckage on the outside shoulder of a tight left-hand curve......

For the last decade or so a cottage industry had been building around the demand for analysis demonstrating how the Republican Party had become too extreme. By the time Vox got around to the subject, the American electorate had delivered control of every seat of power in Washington to the GOP.  For all the lectures about how Republican voters had supposedly sequestered themselves in self-radicalizing cloisters, the self-righteous left are just as disinclined to look at them selves in the mirror.  But even shaded by a sympathetic media, they may not be able to avoid critical self-examination for much longer.

Democratic voters, fed a constant diet of how bad America is,  are increasingly adopting a brand of extremism all their own. DJT's opponents recently reveled in the fact that a majority of Americans surveyed in a poll sponsored by the president’s favorite news network agreed that Trump’s “go back” tweets constituted a “racist” attack on his opponents.

What they DID NOT dwell on is this: The poll found myriad policy positions that are well within the mainstream of the Democratic Party but anathema to most Americans.

* Would it be a “good thing” if the United States became a little less capitalist and a little more socialist? Fifty-three percent of Democrats agreed. 

* Should undocumented immigrants be eligible for free health care? 32 percent say “yes". 

* How about “decriminalizing” illegal border crossing? 49 percent of Democrats agreed. 

This isn’t the only poll to find the Democratic base out of step with the country. Among all adults polled this month by Gallup, only 29 percent believe the U.S. should commit to providing the descendants of African slaves with reparations in the form of wealth transfers. 49 percent of democrats agreed.

Democrats seeking their party's nomination seem perfectly willing to tailor their policy preferences to their party’s ascendant minority extremists. Bernie has devoted precious time on the campaign trail to stripping “socialism” of its stigma. Senator Lizzy and Julio La Raza advocate changes to the criminal code and make illegal entry into the country no more serious than spitting on the street. And at least six presidential candidates have endorsed slavery reparations in one form or another. Nearly half of the sprawling field of 2020 Democratic candidates support giving illegal immigrants free healthcare and full benefits, though “moderates” like Joe Biden can’t commit to anything more than liking banana pudding over chocolate.

The Democrat field appears so committed to radical one-upmanship that they’ve even begun embracing policies that have the support of no constituency whatsoever. Every Democrat in the race has endorsed making D.C. the nation’s 51st state, an idea that most everyone opposes regardless of ideology, party affiliation, or region.

And all y'all Rayssist!

Your CNN 'People of No Color For President' Debate Preview

CNN has chosen to grace America with yet another double-header democratic debate featuring half of the 679 candidates scrambling for the democrat nomination, VP and cabinet positions in the presidential administration of Marianne Williamson.

Beclowning themselves last week, CNN gave us Wolff Blitzer and a debate lineup selection show more reminiscent of a mix of bingo game night and a bad game show, the only thing missing was Steve Harvey and bad jokes between selections. Then this morning the 'Most Trusted Name In News" started an extravaganza of wall to wall coverage at a windblown desk outside the Fox Theater in Detroit that looked more like the ESPN's College Game Day broadcast, with a crowd waving Biden 2020 signs instead of  'Go Bama' and big "We're #1" foam rubber hands in the background and anchored by the always lovely Brook Baldwin looking her usual victim of a head on collision with a Max Factor Makeup truck.  Coverage was later taken over by the network's resident carnival barker impersonator, Fredo Cuomo.  My question is who's running CNN these days, the National Lampoon????

So Here America Is Your Candidate Debate Starting Lineup: 

Bernie Sanders, Lizzy Warren, Pete Buttigieg, BetoKlobucharTimRyanThreeOtherTimRyans and of course, President Marianne Williamson.

And so you don't have to watch, here is a preview of the only things of any importance that both nights major players will probably say that they haven't already said a thousand times in a nutshell (literally a nutshell):

Bernie Sanders: I AM RELEVANT! AND EVERYONE SUCKS BUT ME! TRUMP IS A RACIST.

Lizzy Warren: I have many detailed plans for solving the problems that America faces. I've brought Powerpoints. Trump is a racist. 

Pete Buttigieg: I am a nice safe white man who also happens to be gay. Trump is a racist

Beto: I am also a nice safe white man. But not gay. Unless being gay would get me votes. I could be gay. Please vote for me...Please??

Harris: I'm a former prosecutor. I will fucking gut Donald Trump like a fish live on national TV if you let me. The Motherf**ker is a racist!

Biden: Hey, kids, I'm not old. Uncle Joe is hip. Look, I can floss! Hey, you're attractive. How old are you? 13? Well, your brothers better keep an eye on you.

DJT: Get a load of these tremendous losers America. Look at them!

Moderator: Mr. Trump, you're not supposed to be here.

DJT: Many people are saying I should be. Many people.

Marianne Sparkleshine Stardust Williamson: If we just focus on the love, the light of the universe from the third eye shall shine down upon us and bask us with the warmth of feeling and bring harmony together across the globe. *lights incenses stick*

You're Welcome!

A Diversity Psychosis and Melanin Fetish Have Thoroughly Consumed The Democrat Party Apparatus.

Yes, the mere title of this post would probably get me labeled a racist in some circles today. But while we watch DJT publicly drive democrats absolutely crazy, the presidential candidates race to out pander each other for minority votes, and civil war breaking out in Nan's democrat house majority, down in the deep bowels of the party apparatus, identity politics and an unhealthy obsession with gender and racial diversity has the democrats literally eating themselves from the inside.

Following a pair of stories at POLITICO detailing deep concern with the party’s campaign apparatus over a lack of diversity (oh no!) some top echelon staffers at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Monday told Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.) chair of the committee, she could put their jobs where the sun don't shine because the ratio of Penis-to-Va-jayjay & correct balance of skin tones weren't up to their leftist PC standards and very upsetting.

First the DCCC executive director resigned during a tense meeting at the party’s Capitol Hill headquarters, followed soon after by much of the senior staff, including the communications director, a top DCCC communications aide, political director, deputy executive director and the DCCC’s own director of diversity. 

Politico reported last week that top lawmakers in the Congressional Black Caucus and Congressional Hispanic Caucus were extremely bent out of shape and accusing Bustos of short-changing minorities by excluding them from her senior staff and failing to live up to promises she made during her campaign for the chairmanship. Bustos flew back to Washington to attend an emergency staff meeting at the DCCC Monday. Bustos held a tense call with staffers on Saturday before deciding to fly back and address the committee in person on Monday.

To show just how far moonbat some dems have gone, on the above mentioned conference call, Rep. Bustos "briefly" apologized for offending people by describing her husband and children as being of "Mexican descent" and announced she will joyously undergo diversity and inclusion training in the coming weeks.

"How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?"

Fear Not Baltimore, Al Sharpton is on the Way!

Like Superman spotting the Bat Signal in the night sky, Al Sharpton is rushing to Baltimore to help heal the hurt done by Trump by…I guess, being there?? I don’t know.

By now all y'all have surely heard of the sh*t storm over DJT's perceived insult of Elijah 'Bullett Head" Cummings (D-MD) and the top 10 rat-infested city he represents. No one is sure why the left is making the rat infestation issue a racial one, especially when Baltimore’s leaders admit that it’s a problem themselves, and there was even a film made about the problem. But the show must go on. Like rats, democrats came out of the woodwork to label the President a racist.

Money says Rev. Al will stand on a soapbox, gather people behind him, and make it seem like he’s giving a speech to a large crowd about how racism has no place in America and orange man bad. Yes, duty called and Sharpton answered. He hopped on a plane as soon as he heard about it.

Upon his arrival in the Capitol City, he tweeted, “Arrived in DC from Atlanta, headed to Baltimore. Long day, but can’t stop.” Baltimore residents must have heaved a collective sigh of relief. “Oh, thank God. Reverend Sharpton is on his way.” And I'm sure he hopes he's more welcome than last time he brought his roadshow to Charm City. 

Here's a sample of the responses to the news of Sharpton’s arrival via Twitchy:

• Hasn’t Baltimore been through enough suffering this week?
• @TheRevAl Yes, that should help. Get the race hustlers in there fast.
• You need a race baiter? Call the master baiter, he’ll do the job.
• So much pandering to do, so little time.
• Baltimore just can’t catch a break.
• Maybe stop by the IRS and put a check through the mail slot.

The President weighed in himself on Rev. Al's showboating stunt on the tweeter:

"I have known Al for 25 years. Went to fights with him & Don King, always got along well. He “loved Trump!” He would ask me for favors often. Al is a con man, a troublemaker, always looking for a score. Just doing his thing. Must have intimidated Comcast/NBC. Hates Whites & Cops!"

"Al Sharpton would always ask me to go to his events. He would say, "it’s a personal favor to me". He came to my office in T.T. during the presidential campaign to apologize for the way he was talking about me. Just a conman at work!"

A Good Monday Morning

They’re the Homeless Guy Losing an Argument to a Lamppost

Imagine if you dare, being a Democrat right now. You have the House, and the opposition party's majority in the Senate is small. In the race for the presidency, you have every advantage with the exception of incumbency. There isn’t a mainstream media or cultural institution that isn’t on your side and willing to do anything, including cover for your inherent intolerance and bigotry, to help you win. All you have to do is not act crazy and you’re 99 percent of the way home.  Instead, you have gone all full Thelma and Louise and joyously stepped on the gas.

Mueller’s embarrassing testimony wasn’t the only problem Democrats have to face. They had to polish that turd, no matter what. This was to be their moment in the sun.

On Wednesday, CNN and MSNBC were worth watching, for once. It was like watching the kid who annoyed everyone in elementary school learn their parents never loved them. They and Congressional Democrats wanted a way out. By the next day they were back to their old form, calling for impeachment because, well, just because. The alternative would be to talk about their ideas – socialized medicine, American taxpayer-funded health insurance for illegal aliens, open borders, higher taxes, unicorns, etc.

DJT's very existence and persistence is Chinese water torture to the left, and they’re at the breaking point. They’re down to the last gift box on Christmas morning and they know the “official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle” isn't in the picture. The drooling and incoherence will continue, as will the digging. Democrats know they’re drilling a dry well, but as long as they’re still drilling they can keep those on the hook from realizing they’re being hoodwinked. Right Ricky???

Democrats are running out of silver bullets. First, they thought DJT would implode. He didn’t. They said he’d destroy the economy, it’s thriving. They swore he colluded with Russia. He didn’t. The promised the Mueller report would change minds. It didn’t. They switched their focus to obstruction of justice. No one cared.

And that’s where the Democrats are now – they’re the homeless guy losing an argument to a lamppost on a street corner. DJT's success and Robert Mueller’s testimony has driven them to the edge of crazy. On the plus side for them, the carbon footprint was very small since it was a very short drive.

And now a few words from the leader of the party.....

Infested: Leftist Snowflake's Newest Trigger Word

"Rep, Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA..........As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess." - DJT

TRIGGERED!!

"That's usually reserved for references to rodents and instincts". Trump literally refered to rodents! Baltimore has the distinction of being one of the top 10 most rat infested cities in America. https://t.co/7ec0iKB6RH

— Daniel (@_Djadan) July 27, 2019

These people are so propagandized in identity politics that they take a literal rodent infestation and apply it to and for their own propaganda. That is sick, they are literally psychologically sick. It is beyond sad.  

When you can't win an election with votes, an argument with logic, or legislation without a judge's opinion, you sound a lot like this.....

Democrat mouthpieces like Maude Behar have already begun laying out their preliminary excuses for failing to win in 2020. When leftist make statements you always have to look at the qualifiers they use. In this case the qualifier is "legitimately." Unfortunately it's rarely used by leftists so it's meaning is unclear. The only thing I can say for sure about the meaning here is that it has nothing to do with the definition in the dictionary.

Behar knows that Trump is going to win so she is already trying to cast doubt on the process, the exact thing that was shown that the Russians were trying to do. She is their accomplice.

If you scream insults loud and often enough some moonbat who watches steaming pile of offal like The View might actually believe what Behar is selling, and they might be distracted from the facts that the dems are experts at election rigging..

The Great Noble Lie of the 21 Century -- Hillary had all the fame (Hollywood), fortune (Wall Street), power (DC), and Media, including a billion dollar war chest and yet, somehow, someway, a handful of Russian Facebook ads flipped it.
