At 100 days, some Dems pointing out the obvious - pdq - 04-29-2025 Now, these guys are politicians, and politicians are ambitious, but what they’re saying is not wrong: Pritzker: …urged Democrats to stop listening to “do-nothing political types” who are calling for caution at a time when Americans are demanding urgent action, and to “fight—EVERYWHERE AND ALL AT ONCE.” Oh no! That’s not a “kitchen table” issue! We shouldn’t even mention such irrelevant niceties like the Constitution. “We have a Secretary of Education who hates teachers and schools,” he said. “We have a Secretary of Transportation who hates public transit. We have an Attorney General who hates the Constitution. We have a Secretary of State, the son of naturalized citizens—a family of refugees—on a crusade to expel our country of both.” Now, I’m not convinced that putting another rich old white heir-to-money like Pritzker in the White House is the answer. And before Pritzker stood up, AOC and Sanders showed the way. But they’re at least speaking the truth, out loud, and making Schumer and the fearful milquetoast we-need-to-move-toward-Trump consultant classes look like fools. Re: At 100 days, some Dems pointing out the obvious - pdq - 04-29-2025 Okay, I can’t help it. Some more, same link: He called on Democrats to “stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research. And time to stop thinking we can reason or negotiate with a madman. Time to stop apologizing when we were NOT wrong. Time to stop surrendering, when we need to fight. More please. Re: At 100 days, some Dems pointing out the obvious - pdq - 04-29-2025 Also, Kamala Harris is set to step off the sidelines and go after Donald Trump on Wednesday in her first major address since leaving office. An entirely decent tradition, which means Trump would never have honored it if he had lost. But the current captain of the ship appears to be hell-bent to sink it, and it’s time to point this out. Moving forward, the former vice president is expected to call it as she sees it, the source added. I’d be okay with that. Re: At 100 days, some Dems pointing out the obvious - Lemon Drop - 04-29-2025 Dems have held over 100 town halls since Rump took office, often not in their own district or even state. Repubs are too cowardly to face their constituents right now. This guy is also doing a good job: Rep.Greg Casar of Texas. He gets it. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/29/greg-casar-villains-purity-tests-028509 Re: At 100 days, some Dems pointing out the obvious - Acer - 04-29-2025 Say the obvious, and say it over and over again. Take a cue from Trump. He never. shuts. up. He rode that tongue right back into office. Re: At 100 days, some Dems pointing out the obvious - pdq - 04-29-2025 …and honestly, we’ve gotten back to the old dependable No Democrats allowed on the teevee with the evening news these days. So spread the word. Re: At 100 days, some Dems pointing out the obvious - $tevie - 04-30-2025 Watch the entire Pritzker speech. It's a barnburner. https://youtu.be/zMndfvxVeRo?si=TUZhzEoWDNiZ2WXH |
