Democrats- The Party of Outrage

USN: In a speech on the Senate floor Tuesday, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer declared that the early theme defining President Donald Trump’s administration was “incompetence leading to chaos.”

“It’s amazing how poorly done so many things have been that have come out of the White House in the first two weeks,” the New York Democrat said.

A few hours later during a CNN town hall, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said Trump’s selection of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court was bad “if you breathe air, drink water, eat food or take medicine.”

And in the wake of Trump’s abrupt firing of the nation’s acting attorney general, Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, a candidate for Democratic Party chairman, rushed so quickly to vilify the president he left out a word in his merciless statement.

“By all accounts, this is looking like failed presidency,” he said.

In the frenzied opening days of the rebellious Trump era, top leaders in the Democratic Party have taken a posture of relentless, immovable, caustic opposition – assailing the commander in chief at every turn and often employing extreme rhetoric to punctuate its impact. It is a cold-blooded approach that’s required for this precarious moment, they say, given the severe changes Trump is attempting on everything from how the U.S. should deliver health care to who should be allowed to become an American citizen.

But there’s a risk in outright, perpetual obstruction as well and it’s simmering below the surface in conversations between Democratic lawmakers, leaders and strategists as the party debates the most effective path forward: If Democrats protest everything with hair-on-fire outrage, will anything end up sticking with the American public beyond their infinite indignity? If they cry wolf every 12 hours, will the effect of their urgency wane over time? Instead of presenting an alternative vision, will they end up looking simply like a party of outrage?  MORE

  1. Schmuckels never fails to entertain the fools.
    Madam Pee, “my illegal invaders do no harm”, to a mother who’s daughter was murdered by one.
    You cannot make this shit up.

  2. The biggest problem the dims have with bashing President Trump’s every move is that so far, practically every move he has made is seen as both correct and a long time in coming by most God fearing, hard working, tax paying, sane American citizens. Being cheerleaders against what most Americans have been hoping and praying for for the last 3 decades is not a winning position in what may once again be becoming a somewhat sane world.

    All they are doing is driving more people to identify with DJT because it is becoming more and more obvious to even non-political people (and even Trump haters) that for the political class this was never really about what was good for America but whether the dims (and establishment republicans) held power or not. Hopefully they’ll keep up the good work.

  3. The entertainment while watching them melt is
    worth all of the worry we had during a forked
    up lying media election.

    Maybe we can talk them into suicide before we respond
    to their shit with homicide?

  4. Trump is winning more supporters daily. Anecdotal evidence – my step-daughter and her husband did not support Trump and probably didn’t vote for him. I received an email from her yesterday about how much she and her husband are loving President Trump these past two weeks. If he keeps it up, the 2020 election will be and even bigger landslide, especially if he gets a handle on voter fraud.

    I have been smiling since Nov. 8.
