I got infuriated again! As I was reading Six's blog the other day he expressed concern about the democrats in a comment back to another reader. I agreed with him and this is yet another reason why...
Just the other day Democrats in the House stopped an Israel funding bill. Well, around 1/2 of them did. The other half are just as happy to go on record that they're as corrupt as Republicans. Only one of the GOP reps voted no: Thomas Massie. Speaker Hakeem Jefferies, whom I'm no fan of, voted to continue funding Israel and the war criminal Netanyahu, as Israel continues to fund him. What you're seeing is a party in shambles presenting a completely divided front on a major issue before midterms. 77% of Dem voters are tired of wars, and voters support stopping to funding Israel, yet only half of the Dem representatives support what their voters want. And leading "progressives" like AOC say they'll support Jeffries as Speaker if Dems regain then House. That means that regardless how AOC gripes about Jeffries, they're willing to have him block any Anti-Israel legislation from coming to vote in the House. Half of the party is voting with republicans. Have the party not noticed who is winning the latest election primaries? True Progressives... and the party of voters is telling the party what they want in representatives...and they won loudly opposing Irsael and Netanyahu, like Zohan Mamdni did. Yet the party ignores these candidates. And I still say that is one aspect that cost Harris the presidential seat. She refused to break with Biden and refused to take a stand. You can't vote for funding the war and yet oppose it.
Mistress, I agree that my Democratic Party is in total shambles. There is no strong leadership stepping up to the Plate. Now, on the other side of the fence, you have a Man, Bronze Man-White Teeth, who controls the Republican Party to the Max.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure at this stage of the matter who has a better chance in the midterm elections; what I intend to do is sit here in the Swamp of Louisiana, rock in the rocking chair on the front porch, and watch the show going on in DC for the Moment.
It's going to be an interesting midterm. I hope our numbers go up.
DeleteI didnt push the correct button on here, that is my comment above.
ReplyDeleteI think we have strong leaders but many are not in office right now, which makes me wish those IN office would listen to those politicians and listen to WE THE PEOPLE!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it appalling they don't help up and coming people who'd make great leaders and take us in a new direction. Whoch is why Zohron is so popular...and already has done things he said he'd do.
DeleteIf ever the Democratic Party needed to demonstrate a united front, this would be that time. Many people in the party need to get their collective shit together and wise up, We don't need platitudes and empty promises, we need power and results. Just dropped off my ballot for the primary, I've done my part. Do NOT skip even the primaries and do everything you can to make sure your vote is counted, at the polls or with mail in ballots like I have. In case the Maga(te)s somehow made vote by mail illegal or impossible, I am in the process to correct a misspelling of my last name on my birth certificate with the state, in case I had to show up physically to a polling place, my name on record would be the same as my birth certificate. Like the Boy Scouts...BE PREPARED!
ReplyDeleteThat's right. Especially have what i hear from last night. I also feel if my reps don't keep their promises and start getting results for We the People I'm voting them out. We get blackmailed for votes with the same promises then never get the goods delivered.
DeleteShameful. There are still so many Americans that believe Israel is justified no matter what it does even if a huge number of Israelis don’t support it. It’s not the Israeli people, it’s the government. Just like in the States. Sadly, there are still too many people supporting these awful governments.
ReplyDeleteThat's it Mitchell. Netanyahu is plain evil and need to go.
DeleteWhen it comes to Israel, Democrats will fumble the ball, but there is definitely progress being made. Since the inception of Israel as a country, it has been universally supported by Democrats and Republicans, besides a few naysayers. But Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing Zionism is finally getting a bad rap outside of the usual political circles.
ReplyDeleteI agree. People are getting sick of this crap...and they are finally getting fed up with it.
DeleteI normally vote Democrat, and will again, maybe.... but anyone that supports Israel's genocide is not who I want In office.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely Mistress! Ill be damned I still see any urgency...and too much of pushing away of candidates that would be excellent and take at least one tired party in a new direction.
ReplyDeleteAnd this bill? THIS IS THE BILL TO WATCH! THE $3.3B WAS A DECOY!
The NDAA $1.15 trillion Israeli Military Merger stealth bill stalled... but is still in play!
Decouple the SAVE ACT... Strip the treasonous NDAA FY 2027 Section 219 of the House’s FY2027 the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative,” that allots $1.15 trillion to the Pentagon through which Israel will receive $ and arms without oversight.
I have been reading and enjoy your blog. and can agree to a point with this but...may the Demopublicans rot with MAGA. Just as corrupt, just as greedy, but what makes them worse are the unkept campaign promises they say, and run on the same old platform and promises, yet never follow through and then lying about their liberal values.
ReplyDeleteYou must be driving through a MAGA district.
ReplyDeleteLol!! I unfortunately live in a reddish area....a fact I can not get used to from where I used to live. Thanks for stopping in Ruby Rose!
DeleteMany politicians receive large campaign donations from AIPAC, and for some turning down that money is a difficult thing to do, and that's a shame.
ReplyDeleteI’m so tired of politics. But I’ll never tire of any Joan meme.
ReplyDeleteMost people I know are against funding Israel's war machine which is killing, without any evidence, so many innocent men, women and children. A week or so ago a member of the IDF shot a baby. Now some of the dead may have been members of Hamas but I am 100% sure that the baby was not. What crime had it committed that meant it needed murdering? So why do politicians find it so hard to say no to Net A Yahoo when he started a war to keep out of prison?
ReplyDeleteI checked out Open Secrets and it's a who's who of both parties getting money from Israel. Joe could wipe his butt with twenties with how much money he got from them.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame is what it is. What ever happened to servicing and representing what your voters wanted?
DeleteJoan knows and is not afraid to say it !
