House Democrat Calls for ‘Shadow Government’ to Undermine Trump, with Adam Schiff as Fake AG

Democrat Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-NC) is so bereaved by Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss and President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks that he is suggesting Democrats take action and form a “shadow government,” operating to oppose the Trump agenda that the majority if the country voted for.

Nickel put forth his idea in an op-ed in the Washington Post, asserting that it is time for America to “borrow from our British friends and appoint a shadow cabinet to fight back against the worst excesses of a second Trump administration.”

He laid out his vision on the House floor, asserting that “new times call for new solutions.”

“Last week stung. As Democrats, we simply failed to convince the American people we have better ideas to solve their problems, but we do. Now we need to dust ourselves off and get ready to fight,” he said. “We can’t let Donald Trump’s extreme MAGA agenda go unanswered or unopposed,” he continued, walking through his pitch to “borrow from our British friends and appoint a shadow cabinet to fight back against the worst abuses of a second Trump administration.”

Schumer said:

The special relationship between the United States and Britain extends not just to our strength on the global stage, but also to our shared commitment to democracy. Across the Atlantic, the British have something we don’t: A team from the opposition that mirrors the government’s own Cabinet members. They watch the Cabinet closely, publicly, challenging, scrutinizing and offering new ideas.

He described this as “another form of checks and balances.”

“It’s democracy’s insurance policy, and it strengthens the government, too. There’s no room for lazy ideas when rivals stand ready to step in,” he claimed.

Liberal Pundit Ezra Klein Admits That Democrats Have Done a Horrible Job Governing American Cities

One of the underreported stories of the 2024 election is that people in multiple American cities threw out their leaders.

Liberal pundit Ezra Klein spoke about this in a recent podcast. If you followed news and politics back in the days of Obama, you know Klein as someone who almost always advocated for the leftist position on any given issue.

Now, Klein has apparently figured out how bad Democrat policies are for American cities.

The New York Post reports:

NY Times columnist slams Dems over denials about crime, migrants and inflation in US cities: ‘Shut the f–k up’

New York Times columnist Ezra Klein slammed Democrats over their stubborn denials that US cities are plagued with rising crime, out-of-control migration and skyrocketing prices, saying they need to “shut the f–k up.”

In Donald Trump’s blowout election victory last week, the president-elect notched a 6.5% gain in the most populous urban counties across the country, which outpaced the 3.3% swing toward Trump in suburban counties, the Washington Post reported.

A voting district in Manhattan even went red for the first time in at least a decade, The Post reported exclusively this week…

“The thing that surprised me least about the election was the sharp red shift in these big cities,” Klein said on “Pod Save America” Wednesday. “If you just talk to anybody who lives in them, they are furious.”

“The rage I just hear from people in New York … the sense of disorder rising, not just crime, but homeless encampments, trash on the streets, people jumping turnstiles in subways, crazy people on the streets. You just talk to people and they’re mad about it,” Klein said.

More Proof that the Democrats Stole the 2020 election

The despicable whores called “fact checkers,” who prostitute themselves by telling lies for money said I am a “conspiracy theorist” for reporting the findings of experts that the Democrats stole the 2020 presidential election.  Notice, just reporting the findings of experts makes you a “conspiracy theorist.”

Look at the graph showing the reported Biden vote count in 2020.  Is there a single person anywhere on Earth stupid enough to believe it?  THERE WAS ZERO ENTHUSIASM FOR BIDEN.  As Trump said, Biden campaigned from his basement.  NO ONE ATTENDED HIS RALLIES, AND HE DISCONTINUED THEM.

Remember, Biden did not campaign.  After his first few attempts, his public rallies ceased, because no one attended and the cameras could not hide the absence of people.  In contrast, every one of the numerous Trump rallies was heavily attended.  So how did Biden get 10 million more votes in 2020 than Trump just received in his high turnout landslide victory?  How did Biden get 15 million more votes than Obama? 15 million more votes than Hillary Clinton?  HE DID NOT !

Remember, numerous experts provided hard evidence of the many methods used to produce the fraudulent Biden vote:  electronic voting machines, street corner drop boxes, interruption of vote counting until truck loads of forged ballots could be delivered, and so forth.

Remember, the presstitute media immediately before the evidence of fraud was presented spoke with one voice over and over: “there was no vote fraud.”  How did the presstitutes know?  The presstitutes made no investigation of the evidence.  The presstitutes just shouted down the evidence. They lied through their teeth.

The only function of the American media is to prevent the American people from knowing the truth. How can a democracy exist when the media is completely devoid of integrity?

How can such a totally corrupt media be tolerated?

Furious Democrats blame JOE BIDEN and TIM WALZ for Kamala Harris’ humiliating election loss

The blame game within the Democratic Party has begun. Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris are now turning on President Joe Biden and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, blaming the two for her loss in the election against President-elect Donald Trump.

On the morning after the election on Wednesday, Nov. 6, Harris addressed a crowd of her supporters in Washington, D.C. and announced that she had conceded the race to Trump. During her speech, she encouraged her supporters to not lose hope, saying that while the race for the presidency has ended, she has not conceded “the fight that fueled this campaign.”

With Harris’ concession, political analysts, Democratic insiders and regular liberals and supporters of the vice president’s campaign have started pointing fingers in an attempt to find a scapegoat to hold responsible for Trump’s victory.

This election is considered to be a devastating loss to the Democrats, who lost not only the presidency but also the Senate and the House of Representatives – which pollsters thought could flip back to the Democratic Party.

One of the people standing out as prime targets for blame is Biden, with Democrats believing him dropping out far too late deprived the party of being able to democratically decide on a candidate through primaries.

Biden is also being blamed by the party’s left-wing who believe that the Biden administration’s stance on Israel and the Harris campaign’s attempts to appeal to the pro-Israel lobby, to moderate voters and to anti-Trump Republicans were all huge mistakes.

Other Harris supporters have also taken their ire out on Walz for a variety of reasons, including that he is too progressive, too “folksy” and too tainted by the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, which began in Minneapolis following the death of African American man George Floyd.

What Undid the Democrats? Let Me Count the Ways

Most Democrats (and those Republicans looking to be helpful) are offering up their considered opinions about why the Democrats lost so badly, so totally, in such a gloriously complete manner.

Obviously, I’m not one of those Republicans wanting to be “helpful.” I guess being called a “fascist” and a “racist” makes the Democrats’ drubbing immensely satisfying to me.

Democrats are in the same position as someone who knows they’re very sick but can’t for the life of them figure out what the problem is. Could it be that golf ball-sized lump on their head? Perhaps it’s the bleeding from their ear that’s related to the cause.

The truth is, Democrats know damn well what the problem with their party is but they have so much invested in identity politics, gender craziness, and woke culture that if they gave it all up, they’d have to do something they’d rather die than do.

They’d have to admit they were wrong about all of it. 

And for the arrogant elitists who have spent their careers looking down their nose at us plebes, it would just be too bitter a pill to swallow. So they search frantically — not for the most plausible or the actual reasons for their drubbing but for an explanation that sounds reasonable enough to pass muster with the rest of the far left.

“The Democratic Party needs to be rebuilt,” said Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. “We have become a party of elites, whether we abandoned working-class people, whether they abandoned us, whether it’s some combination of all of the above.”

When a party promotes open borders, gender transformation for kids, and punishment for using the wrong pronoun, I would say that working-class voters ran from the Democrats while screaming in terror at the thought of these wackos governing. 

The Free Press’s Bari Weiss speaking on Fox News::

i[I] turns out that running on these extraordinarily niche issues like gender fluidity or defunding the police or any number of things that people in places where I live get extremely excited about don’t actually matter or frankly, feel profoundly out of touch to ordinary Americans. So if “progressive” is about, you know, these niche issues that you find in on college campuses and in gender studies department, and you want to keep doubling down on that, you’re going to continue to lose.

Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor Dismisses Demands to Step Down and Allow Democrats to Fill Her SCOTUS Seat

Justice Sonia Sotomayor has rejected demands to step down and allow Democrats to try and appoint a replacement before Trump takes office in January.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Sotomayor “has no plans to retire from the Supreme Court,” effectively ending plans to replace her.

“This is no time to lose her important voice on the court,” a person close to Sotomayor was quoted as saying. “She just turned 70 and takes better care of herself than anyone I know.”

Earlier this week, Politico reported that Democratic leaders were “agonizing” over whether to try and force Sotomayor out of the door before Trump takes back the White House.

The 70-year-old justice is known to suffer from diabetes and other health issues, creating the possibility that her seat may become open during his presidency.

The report explains:

For Democrats, this is a hair-on-fire moment. And though the discourse in the media is presently dominated by recriminations about how this all happened, another arguably more urgent conversation is blowing up largely outside of public view: whether to push for 70-year-old Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to step down while Dems still have the power to approve her replacement.

This isn’t simply some flight of fancy happening among progressive activists online. It’s a conversation members of the Senate are actively engaged in.

Dems Float Plan To Push Ailing Justice Sotomayor Off Supreme Court So Biden Can Replace Her Before Trump Is Sworn In

Democrats are reportedly having serious discussions about mounting a pressure campaign to force ailing Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to resign so Joe Biden can nominate a replacement before President-Elect Donald Trump is sworn in.

After losing their Senate majority to the GOP, Democrats are concerned that Republicans will be “revving up the old conveyor belt of conservative judicial nominees” as soon President-Elect Trump takes office, Politico reported.

For Democrats, this is a hair-on-fire moment. And though the discourse in the media is presently dominated by recriminations about how this all happened, another arguably more urgent conversation is blowing up largely outside of public view: whether to push for 70-year-old Supreme Court Justice SONIA SOTOMAYOR to step down while Dems still have the power to approve her replacement.

This isn’t simply some flight of fancy happening among progressive activists online. It’s a conversation members of the Senate are actively engaged in.

A Democrat senator told Politico that the topic of pushing Sotomayor off the Supreme Court “has come up repeatedly this week in talks with their colleagues.”

These “Beltway speculative conversations,” according to Politico, have inevitably hit roadblocks for two reasons:

(1) It’d be a risky play with the party already trying to figure out how to handle a crowded lame-duck session

(2) no senator seems to be offering to be the person to put his or her neck on their line publicly (or even privately) by pushing for Sotomayor to step aside.

When Democrats first floated the idea of jettisoning Sotomayor last year, they were accused of ableism and racism.

The names of possible replacements have been discussed, including the allegedly “moderate” D.C. Circuit Judge J. Michelle Childs, who was reportedly on Joe Biden’s SCOTUS short list, and has already been vetted.

Another name floated on Friday was none other than Kamala Harris.

OUCH: Democrats Blew Half a Billion on Five Key Senate Races… and Lost Big in Every Single One!

The Democratic Party spent a staggering $500 billion on five key Senate races that they ended up losing by massive margins.

According to campaign filings obtained by The Daily Caller, Democratic campaigns and associated organizations spent a staggering $495 million on Senate races in Texas, Montana, Ohio, Florida and Missouri, all of which they lost by around four points.

The most expensive of these five races was in Ohio, where incumbent Senator Sherrod Brown was handily defeat by Trump-backed Republican Bernie Moreno. Around $194 million was allocated to this race, which brown lost by around four points.

Another costly race was in Montana, where Democrats sought to save incumbent Senator Jon Tester from defeat against republican Tim Sheehy. Approximately $160 million was spent on this race, with Tester ultimately losing by around eight points.

Democrats also spent big trying to unseat Texas Senator and conservative stalwart Ted Cruz. With the backing of the universally adored Liz Cheney, $92 million was spent supporting the campaign of Democratic challenger Colin Allred. Cruz ended up winning by around eight points and a whopping one million votes.

Finally, Democrats through around $51 million at Senate races in Florida and Missouri, backing the campaigns by of attorney Lucas Kunce and former Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell respectively. Both lost by around 10 point margins.

Such reports only rub further salt in the wounds of the Democrats, who are reeling from Donald Trump’s landslide victory in this week’s presidential election.
