The DNC And The “Establishment”

In a recent post Andrew Wilson(https://bit.ly/4qzHsam) takes the Substack audience through the most recent polling numbers of Cheeto’s declining demise But what struck me was American’s faith in Congress This is on top of the numbers earlier in the year of support of the Democratic National Committee which was in the 20’s And it’s taken a diabolical character like Cheeto to awaken the sleeping giant/American electorate to get out of its van Winkel slumber to begin to take back our country hijacked by the DNC “Establishment” ie political strategists like Simon Rosenburg(of Hopium Chronicles which I wouldn’t recommend) who pose as consultant but have a distinct dark underbelly agenda of acceptance of Palestinian genocide and taint the party’s agenda with dishonesty and personal hidden agendas that control the party’s narrative

America is waking up to this dishonesty by the party supposedly supporting the truth and values that WE the People hold dear Now WE witness spikes of consciousness who represent those ideals that have been spurned by the “Establishment” Politicians like Zohran Mamdami, Graham Plattner, and Dan Osborn are not embraced but lead the way to support the ideals and policies that made America great And WE the People who are on the front lines at protests are insisting a return to politicians who have integrity and speak the truth without the need for a “party endorsement” because they know when they speak for the American middle class they will win!!!

I am so sorry that journalists and citizens are going through this and YES you are correct it is government overreach BIG TIME! I wish there was a way to get those in power to wake up and pull back on all the ICE crap, but I guess they have an agenda, that at first was just supposed to round up criminals but seemingly now they don't care who they go after and it is so wrong on so many levels. THEN they shove the blame in a direction so as not to anger those in power that want to see this crap continue!

Yes, why on earth can't we stop this? Will enough bodies against Ice not be enough?

Why can't Bovino just scream at the judge, in her own courtroom, that she's a filthy radical-Left communist and that she'll be in the camps soon enough? Arrested and charged with contempt of court and whatever else, he will be a MAGA god. A plum spot on OAN would be his for the taking. He might even be able to pump out a cribbed version of Mein Kampf, if he really hustled.

Nothing matters. But the downside for them will be finding out nothing matters. They keep escalating, but basically on the same trajectory as ever. We, on the other hand, are beginning to shift. Our original loud, pearl-clutching, outrage at the outrageous has become muted and focused. All that 'normalization' that our Liberal betters breathlessly warned us about has begun taking hold. The MAGA goons' response to grannies and inflated Tinky-Winkies is tear gas and beat-downs. Don't think this makes them look less ridiculous and more in control. It makes them look frantic. Judges won't stop or change anything, their world exists entirely in the post-hoc. It's the people being tear gassed while mocking the dime store brownshirts that are moving the needle.

This kind of shit has its own momentum. Their maximalist world-view believes there is a "once and for all" moment they can reach where their brutality makes everybody surrender and go home forever. Bull Connor found out otherwise.

The Thing, whenever it happens, may be from accumulated universal disgust, like from the Edmund Pettus bridge and water cannons. It also may be Kent State II, just bigger. Either way, it's going downtown, and nothing can stop it.

Is there no way to stop this? How much longer is this going to be allowed? I know the plan is to insite violence so that they can take the next steps to really restrain the population, but what can be done?

Thank you, Jenniefer for keeping us alert to the indecent and lawless behavior of ICE and those that support this. Tear gas where children gathered for a Halloween parade? They know no shame. Just dumb, mean and evil. Thank you, Chicago, for your courage and resilience.

Bovino appears to not care.... how is he and his band of criminals going to be stopped? Halloween? These "men" are complete cowards hiding their faces ........ even they are embarrassed to be seen...everyone should "dress up" as ICE agents on Halloween...

At NK2, my favorite costumes spotted were two 'fabulous ICE agents'. They were pastel, one was pink and the other a tasteful sea-green. Definitely some flavor of non-binary going on with the duo, even though I'd been assured that Trump put an end to that kind of thing. Did I mention they were fabulous? Snap!
