Democrats Have Finally Figured it Out

[Cellblock2429]

You put a convicted felon in the white house. Shut up.

/-----/ "You put a convicted felon in the white house. Shut up."
Convicted by a kangaroo court, and you know it will be overturned. So, you shut up.

 

[Man With A Plan]

As Democrats start employing the same tactics as Republicans have done for the last 32 years, watch how the right begins complaining. Then watch how right-wing media tries to paint things. Rrepublicans will claim to be victims. Will the legitimate media fall for this tactic again?

Newsom responds to Trump’s gutter politics​

In fighting President Trump, Gov. Gavin Newsom reminds me of actor Gene Hackman’s hard-nosed character in the movie “Mississippi Burning.”

Hackman plays a take-no-prisoners FBI agent, Rupert Anderson, who is investigating the disappearance of three young civil rights workers in racially segregated 1964 Mississippi. His partner and boss is stick-by-the-rules agent Alan Ward, played by Willem Dafoe.

The two agents eventually find the victims’ murdered bodies and apprehend the Ku Klux Klan killers after Anderson persuades Ward to discard his high-road rule book in dealing with uncooperative local white folks.

“Don’t drag me into your gutter, Mr. Anderson,” Ward sternly tells his underling initially.

Anderson shouts back: “These people are crawling out of the SEWER, MR. WARD! Maybe the gutter’s where we oughta be.”

And it’s where they go. Only then do they solve the case.

Newsom contends Trump is playing gutter politics by pressuring Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the GOP-controlled Legislature to redraw the state’s U.S. House seats in an effort to elect five additional Republicans in next year’s midterm elections. House seats normally are redrawn only at the beginning of a decade after the decennial census.

Democrats need to gain just three net seats to retake control of the House and end the GOP’s one-party rule of the federal government.

Trump is trying to prevent that by browbeating Texas and other red states into gerrymandering their Democrat-held House districts into GOP winners.

Republicans currently hold 25 of Texas’ 38 House seats. Democrats have 12.

In California, it’s just the opposite — even more so. Out of 52 seats, Democrats outnumber Republicans 43 to 9, with room to make it even more lopsided.

“We could make it so that only four Republicans are left,” says Sacramento-based redistricting guru Paul Mitchell, vice president of Political Data Inc.

Newsom and the Legislature would be seizing redistricting responsibility from an independent citizens’ commission that voters created in 2010. They took the task away from lawmakers because the politicians were acting only in their own self-interest, effectively choosing their own voters. As they do in Texas and most states, particularly red ones.

But the governor and Democrats would be ignoring California voters’ will — at least as stated 15 years ago.

And Newsom would be down in the political gutter with Trump on redistricting. But that doesn’t seem to bother him.

“They’re playing by a different set of rules,” Newsom recently told reporters, referring to Trump and Republicans. “They can’t win by the traditional game. So they want to change the game. We can act holier than thou. We could sit on the sidelines, talk about the way the world should be. Or we can recognize the existential nature that is the moment.”

You know what's laughable? Democrats who gerrymandered the every loving shit out of States that they control suddenly claiming that the GOP isn't playing fair because they're doing the same thing in Texas! Have you seen a map of districts in Illinois? It's ironic that Democrats are going to THAT State to protest Texas doing EXACTLY what Illinois has done!

The Democrats are in melt down mode. They are shedding support daily.

They are desperate, so they are accusing the Republicans of doing what’s they’ve been doing forever.

The districts in blue states look like a Rorschach test.

We have blue states which are made up of 40% or more Republicans with zero Republican representation.

The right wing didn't just start complaining that they are victims. Head down, ass up is the default position for MAGA. Perpetual, unending unfairness and victimhood is how they perceive the world.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Sorry, Democrats can't take the high road because they are morally and intellectually bankrupt. It has nothing to do with anything else.

No one cares what you think, mentally deficient MAGA Nazi.

Go play with Trump's feces some more.

Oh, bullshit, Skylar! You Democrats do it...then you whine when Republicans do it to you! Look at the map of Illinois and tell me that the Democrats haven't gerrymanded the ever loving crap out of those districts....I dare you!

 

[Skylar]

Oh, bullshit, Skylar! You Democrats do it...then you whine when Republicans do it to you! Look at the map of Illinois and tell me that the Democrats haven't gerrymanded the ever loving crap out of those districts....I dare you!

Dude, I've heard MAGA bleeting about how the ICA report that concluded Russia's help of Trump's campaign in 2016 demonstrated Russian preference for Trump's election to have RUINED TRUMP'S ENTIRE PRESIDENCY.

That's just cucky, whiny, victim obsessed nonsense. And its so common among the MAGA faithful. You don't even have to go back to 2016. You can go to last week.

The BLS numbers on employment demonstrate the worst non-pandemic quarter we've had since the Great Recession and Trump goes full victim. Head down, ass up, how the commisser overseeing the BLS numbers had 'rigged' and 'faked' the numbers to "make him look bad".

And fired her.

Its so *******.....whiny. MAGA is the cringiest, perpetually-obsessed-with-being-a-victim political movement since the Know-Nothings. It defines itself with WHO is ******* it in the ass at any given moment.

Its embarrassing to watch these cucky little snowflakes.

Trump is winning at so many things I don't know what choice they have at this point, Tahuyamon. There is a definite air of desperation on their favorite news programs as one prediction of doom and gloom after another doesn't happen! If Trump can get a peace accord between Ukraine and Russia? They'll lose their freaking minds! He'll get nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. THE HORROR!!!

BLS hasn't gotten the numbers right in years, Skylar.

The whole sleazy Clinton/Obama/Brennan/Clapper/Comey conspiracy is being exposed and the Main Stream Media's compliance with spreading those lies has made them so untrustworthy nobody is watching them anymore. It's like a house of cards that's starting to teeter.

Says who? Again, Trump himself said that the BLS numbers were accurate once he took office in 2017. Now, all of a sudden, they're not accurate?

Worse, Trump goes full sniveling victim and insists that the commissioner FAKED and RIGGED the numbers to make him look bad?

How weak is that? How whiny? I've never met a man that dependent on blaming others for anything that goes wrong, that sniveling and obsessed with both being the victim and being perceived as the victim.

And as his follows insisting that the ICA report ruined Trump's entire presidency demonstrates, the fish rots from the head. Whiny, victim Trump has whiny victim followers in a whiny, victim political movement obsessed with who is ******* them today. Who is taking advantage of them today.

You see conservatives whining? Really, Skylar? The biggest problem Republicans have right now is not celebrating what's happening in too obnoxious a fashion! It's literally one win after another...

 

[Skylar]

Conservative sniveling. Full victim, 'they're trying to make me look bad' whining, blaming others for their own failures, insisting that things are 'rigged' and 'faked' against him. Obsessively refusing to take any personal responsibility.

That's not a man.

That's a fragile little snowflake. He claimed that he suffered SO much mental and emotional anguish by the Harris interview edit by CBS that he needed BILLIONS of dollars to make him whole, to compensate this poor, delicate little flower for all his trauma and pain that a video edit caused him.

MAGA is the cringiest, cuckiest, whiniest, most obsessed with being the victim of any political movement since the Know Nothings.

I'm embarrassed for you poor, sensitive souls. You seem ready to break.

So Trump didn't respond to the worst non-pandemic BLS employment numbers since the Great Recession by going full victim and insisting that the commissioner overseeing the BLS 'faked' and 'rigged' the job numbers to 'make him look bad'?

Shall....shall I quote the delicate little flower doing exactly that?

Does the term "whistling past the graveyard" mean anything to you, Skylar? MAGA is kicking your ass and you don't know what to do...do you? You on the left have thrown EVERYTHING at Trump and he's come through the fire unscathed! Now you're reduced to yelling at clouds. It's going to be a long four years for you...

You should try and get your talking points straight, Skylar. Is Trump a delicate little flower or is he Hitler? You can't seem to make up your mind which bit of nonsense you're going to go with.

 

[hadit]

You are a liar. Everything you say here, Repubicans have been the ones doing it.

I know you're emotionally invested in defending democrats at all costs, but you're looking ridiculous here. The Republicans are no longer the blue bloods of the past, genteel and statesman like. They're just like democrats now, and the one that showed them how to do it used to be a democrat.
