In Chuck Jones, Veritas

I was not impressed by the Congressional Democratic Party response to Trump’s “Hate of the Union” speech.

My first take was that they looked like some very lame people cosplaying bidders at Sotheby’s bidding on the soon to be shredded Banksy painting, Girl with Balloon.

I was quickly disabused of this notion by Keith Olbermann, who correctly noted that it was more akin to the Coyote of Roadrunner notariety holding up this sign:

Yeah, the one on the left is far more engaging, isn’t he?

Olbermann mentions a report in Axios describing how senior house leadership took people who they felt were too extreme in their protest, which means anything beyond lame signs and even lamer pink outfits, and he rightly calls them out to be pathetic:

Axios reports that Jeffries, the Minority Whip Catherine Clark, and Caucus Chair Pete Aguiar, the top three Democrats in the House summoned a dozen rank and file members to what was called a come to Jesus meeting about the disruptions during Trump’s I’m God Right speech last week.

You’re thinking Jeffries and Clark and Aguiar should have been awarding the disruptors medals of some kind, or maybe scolding them for not disrupting enough. No, sir, leadership is quote unhappy that congressmen and congresswomen who see the invisible fire consuming our nation had the audacity to react to it, Reps like Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, Maxine Dexter of Oregon, Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico.

You had a lot of nerve straying from our plan, Jeffries told them, and reminded them of his dear colleague letter he sent them before the speech, insisting on a quote strong, determined and dignified democratic presence in the chamber, and how they violated that by making themselves the story.

Seriously, if it came, Jeffries thinks, limiting protests, holding up those pathetic little signs that they all had, and to what was called quote outfit coordination and refusal to clap on quote.

If he thinks that was a sign of strength, or that it was determined, or that it was somehow dignified,
he should be marched out of the House Chamber faster than Al Green was,

In fact, Jeffrey should be marched out of the House Chamber by Democrats.

The difference between the Coyote and Hakeem Jefferies is that the Coyote knows that he is about to get run down by a train.

We are going to have to rely on the stupidity of Trump and his Evil Minions™ to save us, because the feckless leaders of the Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment) are busy trying to convince us that everything will be fine.

It’s not fine, and it’s not going to be fine, and a lot of people are going to get hurt while House Democratic Leader Jeffries and idiots like James Carvill remain determined to allow people to be injured and killed because they believe that eventually, some day, this will restore the Democratic Party to power.

This sort of craven careerist cowardice is why people do not vote for Democrats.
