We lost democracy because the centrist Democrats are the pussies they grab us by [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-07-01 THERE ISN’T A CHECKMATE THE CENTRISTS WON’T WALK AWAY FROM ► The first thing Obama did was meet with the republicans at George Will’s house. He put one of the slugs on his cabinet. ► Nancy wanted to prosecute Bush’s thugs, but Obama told him not to. It would enrage the the republicans, see? So much for the rule of law. ► THEN he could have made the rich pay taxes again. If he wanted to betray Progressives, he could have merely used renewing the Bush tax cuts in exchange for single-payer Healthcare. But he renewed the tax cuts without getting anything at all in return. He did it just to show what a nice, cooperative guy he is! The Progressives objected, but Obama said we “need to shut up.” ►He could have seated Garland on the supreme court via an interim appointment. But he didn’t. The repuglicans would call it cheating, even though it’s legal. Instead, he let McConnell declare the senate as always in session, ignore Garland for a year, steal the critical seat, and pack the court. ► THEN Joe could have expanded the court and restore balance to The Force. It was already done several times. But no. The repuglycans would get mad and might retaliate by packing the court. Again. After they just packed it. We could have ended the filibuster, but if we did that, they might not respect us when they’re in power. We cut off our own balls. ► THEN Joe could have arrested Trump for sedition as soon as DOJ was clear of Trump’s meddling. But Garland did nothing for a year. Garland’s DOJ wanted to just forget the embarrassing incident, because they didn’t want people thinking we prosecute the opposition. We also could have had the Guard stop the riot. But some centrist Dem in the chain of command thought “it wouldn’t look nice” for the feds to bust up a protest after Trump used Milly to bust up a protest. So we let them trash the capitol. ► The courts could have jailed trump for lying to the country about his case and threatening everybody explicitly. But that STILL hasn’t happened. ► Garland and the Georgia judge could have let the courts broadcast video of the trials. But they didn’t want to enrage his followers. We roll over even on the trivial. Joe could have ended the blatant political prosecution of his son. But he didn't because trump would have misrepresented it. So instead, the filth released a report installing the public belief that Joe not only took bribes, but he got away with it because he’s a nice old feeble man… as if that was a reason not to prosecute. ► CNN could have had vids queued up showing Trump contradicting himself. He would have looked ridiculous. But they thought that would appear biased, so they let him spew lies unchallenged. The trumpers have no reason to disbelieve the lies. Faux never told them! For all they know, trump’s ridiculous fantasies are true! ► The Dems chose to run an 82 year-old man who is CLEARLY is too old to run for office. Joe could resign, citing the debate as political cover, MAKING KAMALA PRESIDENT TODAY. Joe and his age would be forgotten in weeks as Kamala makes military decisions and looks presidential. By November, how Kamala got there would be forgotten. Most of all, Trump would have to debate her and she would SLAY him. Can you imagine it? But no. In just days, we reframed it as an issue of loyalty to poor old Joe after he has endured such terrible things in his life. After the debate, Michael Steele said, “Y’all didn’t nominate an 82 year-old president; you nominated a 78 year-old president. Now you went people to vote for an 82 year-old man who is clearly to old to run.” But even he came around. Our position now is: Given the choice between trump and Biden, I’m with Joe!” “I BELIEVE IN Joe.” People only believe IN things when they can’t believe them legitimately. ► And FINALLY: the supreme court just gave Joe the power to arrest Trump unilaterally. But Joe’s A NICE GUY, see? Today he announced he wouldn’t do it. That was our last chance. THERE ISN’T A CHECKMATE THE CENTRISTS WON’T WALK AWAY FROM. NOW, HERE WE ARE The centrist Dems, starting with Obama, insisted that the treasonous filth was just the loyal opposition, see? They want what we want, prosperity, justice, education for our kids… we just disagree on how to achieve our common goals, that’s all! Thank Obama, Pelosi. and Joe for this. Thank all the Koombaya Democrats, who wanted to JOIN HANDS with our fellow Americans, so we can sit around the Table of Brotherhood, and together, forge a New Future for all the children of the world! Trump is the guy who wanted to put alligators in the Rio Grande to keep Mexicans out. He already promised to execute Milly. Trump isn’t just evil like Cheney, who wanted to imprison journalists. Trump is stupid, delusional, and insane, like Caligula, King Richard, and Hitler. He will PUBLICLY EXECUTE Schumer and Pelosi. He will hang them on television. His goons built a real gallows and had zip ties just to do exactly that. Thanks, Obama!
