The sky is falling....

Is it just me? Or does it seem like all of the Democratic leadership has suddenly embraced The Chicken Little Crisis Management strategy.  Flap your wings, run around clucking like a fool, and DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. If I knew what the vehicle was to put at least a minor speedbump in front of TOM The Tank, I would co-opt that vehicle. But that’s why I elected others to do that work. Because I don’t know the pathway or the vehicle for that path. The people WE elected are literally sitting in the vehicle. It’s like they’ve never driven before. Wing-flapping, clucking about “he can’t do that; it’s illegal”  will accomplish N O T H I N G. It’s a new game, folks. The Dem’s in leadership are still playing by the rules of the old game.

You remember on the playground when Susie proposed a game. Susie wrote the rules. And you played by Susie’s rules (as unfair and illogical as they might have been) until either all the other kids got sick of losing and refused to play Susie’s game or someone overthrew Susie the Supremacist and wrote new rules (which likely ended up being equally as despised and deemed unfair as Susie’s at some point). And so forth and so on. Until you can write the rules, you must pay by them. So DEM’s. Yes, YOU. Play by the new rules. Screw decorum and process. Because no one else is employing either. What happens if all of the Dem’s in Congress and any rationally thinking Rep’s gather up for a road trip over to TOM’s House? You do not need an invitation! Have a flipping sit in outside the Oval Office. Need I remind you no one invited the angry mob to your house on Jan 6, 2020. But they showed up anyway. Returning to playground rules. What’s the best way to deal with a bully? Walk up to the bully and yell, “STOP IT!”

Give me a second to step off of my soapbox here as I rant and re-organize myself to look at TOM’s playground shenanigans today. Ooh Ooh and I knew he would step up with a good one. A presser from the Oval where he basically handed off to the Chief Bro (Musky) to walk himself out of the DOGE situation. Calmly standing there – in the Oval Office – in a t-shirt, trench coat, ball cap, and wait for it……..his four year old son, X! Yes really.  In front of God, the nation, the world. The richest man in the world couldn’t muster a nanny today? Really?  Wow. I think he’s got to be violating some child labor laws with that one. Because he was clearly brought along as a trained monkey. Babbling out little utterances as Daddy tried to mansplain to the masses (we ignorant saps) the great service he and TOM are providing the country and its citizens.

Vance-y also got a little lickin’ today. From the POPE!  Yup. That guy. We all knew using the bible to justify kicking out immigrants from the US was likely a poor choice of reference material. “Pope Francis issued a major rebuke Tuesday to the Trump administration’s plans for mass deportations of migrants, warning that the forceful removal of people purely because of their illegal status deprives them of their inherent dignity and ‘will end badly.’ Francis took the remarkable step of addressing the U.S. migrant crackdown in a letter to U.S. bishops in which he appeared to take direct aim at Vice President JD Vance’s defense of the deportation program on theological grounds.”(see Feb 7 above).
