I had my own run-in with a Democrat politician who was acting in a way that no politician has acted before in America.
Democrats suffering from severe cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) are now displaying another symptom: staging ill-conceived confrontations to get street cred with their antifa progressive base. Some recent headlines:
- North Carolina state Rep. Julie von Haefen attended a “No Kings” protest and was photographed holding what appeared to be an effigy of the decapitated heads of Trump and his senior policy advisor, Stephen Miller.
- U.S. Representative LaMonica McIver was charged in a three-count indictment for forcibly impeding and interfering with federal officers—all seen on video.
- New York City Mayoral candidate Brad Lander got the publicity he desired by trying to help illegal alien criminals by allegedly assaulting a federal law enforcement officer.
- Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested as he and other elected Democrats allegedly tried to break into the Delaney Hall detention facility.
- California Senator Alex Padilla started shouting when Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was giving a speech in Los Angeles. Because he was not wearing credentials showing that he is a sitting U.S. senator, law enforcement physically removed the threatening Padilla. Almost on cue, Governor Gavin “Hair Gel” Newsom made a statement about what happened. Then, as predictable as the sun rising in the east, Padilla gave tearful interviews on MSNBC and other leftist “news” organizations. Of course, he cried on the senate floor...oh, the inhumanity!

They have gone from the penthouse to irrelevancy in six months.
Oh yeah...right.
Tampon Tim Walz derided ICE calling them the new Gestapo.
I try not to wear blinders about this.
That said, even if I maintain there have been Republicans who bend and break the rules behind the scenes, there is nothing-NOTHING comparable in the scale, frequency, severity, or bald-faced brazen execution of Leftist perfidy in these things.
Not even the same universe.
That statement was in NO way a moral equivalency.
I remember seeing the phrase one time that said “What is not punished is allowed.”
You are spot on here. Because there is no punishment for bad behavior, we will get more of it.
We have to make people swing for some of these things.
Wow, that face screams, “I WANNA SEE THE MANAGER!”
1) The top layer of people with real power in the party is a crime syndicate.
2) The middle layer of activists are terrorists. Antifa, BLM, etc.
3) The bottom layer of true believers are death worshipping cultists.
