Dozens of silly cartoons by pundits with un-sharp pencils, who do not draw a line not to cross, when it comes to making fun of Trump’s supposed ties between president Trump and Putin…Pushing one question? Was there collusion? Of course not…!
Yet the Democrats have gone off the hinge since Donald Trump challenged everything they stand for and all their previous political and social power they had previously garnished. Donald entered the political arena and they were so, not ready! They (democrats and their news media orchestra) have accused Trump of being uncouth and yet they stoop to all time lows when it comes to smearing the President of the United States. They are obviously doing serious damage to the USA’s image around the world but they do not seem to care.
Immature political behavior at its worst is being displayed by people of the one nation that once stood for democracy and real free elections, by the people and for the people. The world is watching as the country that they all wish their country was more like shows that they have a lot of folks living there that have become quite spoiled and are now taking cherished freedoms for granted. These are countries and their people would love to have just some of the advantages we in America have. Yes, the people from these countries, who often travel thru hell to get out, in their search for seeking asylum, safety and better lives here, for their families, in America…are now wondering what is going on in the USA!
Now, cartoons meant to shame and poke fun, actually promote homophobia, abounding all over the internet; some by the New York Times are being applauded. This by a political party that is supposed to be standing up for gay rights?
When you are wrong, you need to keep a low profile but the Democratic Party cannot help themselves. They (Dems) play right into President Trumps supporters’ hands time and time again.
On the issue of who is tougher on Russia, Trump wins hands down.
Obama and his team were soft over and over again. Hillary sold uranium to the Russians! Trump has a clear record of being stronger against Russia and he has only been in office a short time. Why would any wise Democrat seek to put this issue in the spotlight when they will eventually lose the debate? They are desperate and jumping from any issue to any issue that they think might shame the President. This is dangerous for the party because it backfires over and over again. Example, “Trump will get us in a nuclear war with North Korea!” Reality…Trump comes home with a signed agreement for North Korea to de-nuke! Egg in the face of Democrats once again!
Example #2… The media uses photos of children in cages to embarrass Trump but the photos turn out to be from Obama’s time in office…OPPS! Time magazine uses a photo of a boy that was never separated from his parents at the border, on the cover of their magazine, to represent children being ripped from their mother’s arms. More deception and shady politics that America is tired of from a media that has lost our country’s trust…almost completely!
Gross, despicable cartoons win a short laugh, sure, but lose your party voters!
Sad to see a once strong political voice falling apart so fast and furiously and so many careers in politics and Hollywood and journalism falling with them like dominoes, due to not being able to accept that their candidate lost the election. Being a sore-sport is not what we want to teach our children. The sanctity of the free election is the basis of our country. You should lose with dignity and grace and then come back and fight another more strategic battle another day.
What is at stake is the destruction of the whole Democratic Party this midterm not the destruction of Donald Trump!
Believe me…if there is NO Blue Wave this mid term the Democrat party is over…its credibility is completely DONE!
Think about it…Who will they blame, if they lose seats this mid-term?
All indications are that the Democrats are going to get crushed this coming vote, unless they change their tune fast and come up with a universally adopted strategy, OF REAL SUBSTANCE!
In 2020, which is also approaching fast, Sanders has no chance of serving in office again because he allowed Hillary to steel the nomination from him and said nothing… Thus no one would give (donate) him the kind of money needed to be elected because he allowed the money his supporters gave him last election to be totally wasted when sadly, he actually had a chance to beat Hillary. By not speaking out and demanding retribution and possibly prosecution of the offenders Hillary and all who sanctioned Hillary’s deceitful ploy to rob him of a democratic vote, no one would ever trust him to run our country, no matter what policies he puts out there.
Bernie’s been disgraced by his own party and honestly I do not know how he looks those in the face who knew about Hilary’s plot to betray him, their party, their dignity and the very definition of FREE ELECTION. Yes many of those folks are still active in the party, having condoned and played a part in corroding democracy!
Sanders must first sue Hillary and the DNC for selling him out, especially since he came so close to beating her. He must demand that all members of the party who were implicit in the scheme to rob him of the nomination resign. They denied the whole Democratic Party, full of members, Americans, who thought they had a real election going on, the right to elect who they wanted to elect (which is what our USA is based on). With a straight face Sanders cannot ask voters, party members, to endorse him again after his cowardly response to being stabbed in the back by his own party.
Other party members (many who knew what was going on) too have little credibility until they stand up and denounce the Clintons once and for all, for this despicable act against Bernie as well as for many of their other shady doings. The best thing for the Democratic Party and perhaps the only thing that will ever bring them back from the brink is to call for Hillary to be indicted for the crimes she committed and to say openly we want to know what and when Obama and his top level team knew too. These issues will always continue to cast a gloomy shadow over the party until they are addressed.
It is doubtful if the Democratic Party can ever come to power again until they wash their hands of this scandal which was conducted by the Clintons and Obama and his cabinet which is slowly yet surely on the way to being bigger than Water Gate.
It seems harsh but you have to clear the air before you can start healing and rebuilding. These has-beans of the party did irreparable damage to the party much of which will never be mended. The only chance left is to distance the party going forward from all of them. I do not think any of the remaining Democratic leaders are strong enough or of moral stature enough to take this on, so sadly I am predicting a terrible lose in 2018 and yes there will be a RED WAVE that will drench the Democratic Party thoroughly! I do not feel they will ever recover from the Tsunami that is heading their way this mid-term.
PS: if you do not like this take on current politics in the USA…do not shoot the messenger. The author is just trying to give you a heads up and advise on what damage control needs to be done. All the silly cartoons and late night TV jokes possible, will not make you feel better if you are a democrat and the democrats lose big in 2018!
One of your long time best politicians just had a terrifying upset defeat in New York to a total new comer, that should be a big warning that what you are doing is not being accepted by your own party members and they want huge changes to the party. Throw the real losers of the past election under the bus, the Clintons, Obama and Obama hold overs! Let 2016 go! Get serious about the future and rebuilding and America might start taking you serious again too.
Stop holding onto this fantasy of impeaching Trump. Are you going to impeach Pence too? If you do not let this go, you will just assure a new trend of whomever loses an election tries to impeach the winner for the next four or eight years. The USA will never put up with that political scene because we believe in real voting not rigged elections.
Remember that our country is strongest when many parties and groups have real, workable ideas. We, the USA, elects people with vision…winners not WHINERS!
Adolescent, immature cartoons may get you a laugh but they do not win elections! The Democratic Party is in no position to make jokes. They are the JOKE… and if they do not compete this midterm they may become obsolete! That’s no joke! It is time to grow up, get serious and save the laughing for after the ballots are counted!
