Basic disconnect between Democrats, common sense, and truth
American Thinker ^ | 25 May, 2026 | Jim Davis

The Democrats and the media (but I’m repeating myself) are profoundly dishonest, and there are a lot of “experts” they hire, with our tax dollars, who are even more dishonest.

I have degrees in statistical analysis and political science. I’m not an expert at anything, except research and eighth-grade math. But I’ve spotted a basic disconnect between the Democrats, common sense and the truth.

We had a president issue blanket pre-emptive pardons on his way out the door, to his entire family and his closest political allies, for crimes that nobody even knows about, that may or may not have been committed.

And for all the pardons except his son’s, there’s no indication that he even read them. He was hopelessly senile. A POC/LGBTQ committee, operating him like a Muppet every day for four years, signed those pardons with an Autopen.

Basic common sense dictates that it stinks like three-day-old roadkill in August. And the left-wing propaganda minions at CNN and MSDNC roll down the window, let the stench pour in, and don’t bat an eyelash.

In the waning days of the Muppeteer Committee’s frantic efforts to cling to its remaining shreds of power, Americans witness yet another stunning victory for accountability, as the Department of Justice reached a settlement in the long-running saga of illegal IRS targeting of Donald Trump.

Far from the corrupt enrichment scheme peddled by the Democrats’ propaganda bureaus, this outcome represented a principled stand against weaponized government. Trump could have pocketed $10 billion in statutory damages (26 U.S.C. § 7431) for this breathtaking breach of his private tax records while a private citizen.

Instead, he directed those resources toward an Anti-Weaponization Fund. It isn’t an “insurrection slush fund,” as detractors claim. This $1.7 billion fund will aid ordinary Americans, regardless of their political party

If democRATs had any common sense they wouldn’t be democRATs.

"Basic disconnect between Democrats, common sense, and truth"

That is because Demonicrats have become connected to lies, perversion, murder, and treason.

I’m a Dem.

You’ll see plenty at a Trump rally.

Donald Dems are why Deep State has to steal elections.

Meanwhile, is John Thune a Dem? Massie? Pence?

See where I’m going with this?

Forget party. The letter after the name is meaningless.

Vote for MAGA regardless of the letter after name.

Not criticizing at all, just curious about what appears to be a glaring disconnect to me...

If you truly believe the letter after the name is meaningless, why do you call yourself a Dem?

Great point I thought of that after I posted, glad you brought it up. Is it historical allegiance to the term democrat, or reluctance to perhaps draw the ire of your fellow “tolerant” leftists.

As I said there are a lot of dem voters who vote Republican, but show me the non loony elected dims, I know if none

You would have better luck talking to a brick wall than to a Democrat.

You’re preaching to the choir - thanks for clarifying.

In the 2010s when I told my Democrat and “moderate” friends who the Democrats really are, saying today is where we are heading (and worse), I was told I was nuts.

In the 2000s, ditto.

In the 1990s, ditto.

In fairness, I felt different in the early 80s - until Tip O’Neill betrayed Ronald Reagan’s trust. That was the day I saw through the veil and knew the Democrat end-goal. They thought I was even more nuts in the late 80s when I predicted what we see today.

Well, I’m still here. Many have caught up with my opinion since.
