What The Hell Is Wrong With These Democrats?
Townhall.com ^ | April 12, 2020 | Derek Hunter

Every single day, as if trying to out-stupid each other, some left-winger says or does something so ridiculous it sets a new standard for crazy. Whether elected or under the banner of “journalism,” these people seem incapable of wishing their fellow Americans or the country anything good. They are actively, either consciously or not, working against the United States for reasons ranging from incompetence to the hatred of President Donald Trump. None of the options are good, but no other conclusion can be drawn.

A week or so ago, or a lifetime ago in fake liberal outrages and isolation time, PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor was cheered as a hero by her fellow reporters for “taking on” President Trump at the coronavirus task force briefing over something only other liberals and left-wing reporters care about. Not because it’s her job, it’s not (it is not), but because it’s her calling; it’s all of their calling.

On Friday, Yamiche was at it again. After Surgeon General Jerome Adams made a plea to African-Americans to avoid smoking, drinking, and drugs because they are bearing a large part of the brunt of the pandemic due to a propensity to have the preexisting conditions that exacerbate the effects of the virus, Alcindor was ready to be offended.

From the briefing room, during the briefing, Yamiche took to her Twitter account to tweet that Adams “says black, Latino & other people of color should 'avoid alcohol, tobacco and drugs.' 'We need you to step up,' he says. Some will find this language offensive after Adams stressed that behavior was not the issue for why more black ppl are dying."

First off, a higher percentage of black people are dying from coronavirus, due to preexisting conditions. The vices SG Adams listed make that worse. Why the hell wouldn’t he encourage people to quit? Does Yamiche think they’re good things?

Three minutes later, Yamiche tweeted again. “Jerome Adams, U.S. Surgeon General, tells black people, Latinos and other ppl of color to avoid alcohol and drugs and adds: 'Do it for your abuela, do it for your grandaddy, do it for your Big Mama, do it for your pop pop.' Context: Many found this language highly offensive,” she said.

Who were these “many”? How did she know and why would she care? Are journalists supposed to actively seek offense on behalf of people they assume to exist?

Minutes later, Alcindor, in a statement masquerading as a question, said, “There are some people online who are already offended by that language…” Who were these “some people”? She didn’t say, nor did she retweet them. If they exist, she was clearly following them.

Weirdly, someone so tuned in to social media while in the midst of a presidential press briefing, never commented on the trending topic later in the day which sprang from her question: “Uncle Tom.” Attacks on Adams inspired by her didn’t seem to bother her, yet the Surgeon General of the United States giving advice to people that could save their lives, virus or not, did. She spent the rest of the day retweeting other liberals commenting on her stupid question. Disgusting.

Yamiche isn’t the only idiot in the press corps, of course. Too many qualify for that title, but few wear it as proudly as Jim Acosta.

A White House correspondent is expected to build contacts and break stories through them, but can you name one story Acosta has broken? (Or Alcindor, for that matter?) Yet, there he sits, arguing with the president like he’s running against him.

When not parroting Democratic Party talking points, Acosta is left to his own thoughts, proving the old adage that you shouldn’t work without tools. “We hear from a lot of people who see these briefings as sort of ‘happy talk’ briefings,” he said to the President Friday and was rightly chewed out for it.

You have to look at these people and wonder what the hell is wrong with them. Thousands of people are hospitalized, dying, the economy is in ruins, and they’re playing these stupid games like it’s just another day. Can they really be this dumb? Or do they value their politics over human lives and the well being of this country?

The answer is yes, to either question.

Democratic incompetence cost lives in New York City, actively encouraging people to ride public transportation, attend parades, and patronize restaurants in the middle of a pandemic to show up the president. Democratic incompetence has people arrested for being alone in the ocean in California and banned the sale of vegetable seeds and car seats for babies in Michigan. Democratic incompetence has people attending drive-in church services harassed by law enforcement across the country. None of this registers with these journalistic drones. It’s “Orange Man Bad” or nothing.

So when you ask yourself what the hell is wrong with these people, deep down we already know. To progressives, individuals have always been disposable, whether it’s one, several thousand, or 100 million like in the last century. They likely don’t even recognize it in themselves anymore, but we can’t lose sight of it. Because if this is how they behave out of power, imagine what they’d do with it.

Best Twitter response to this idiot:

”Do it for your massa.”

LMAO.

The prevalence of high blood pressure (HBP or hypertension) in African-Americans in the United States is among the highest in the world. More than 40 percent of non-Hispanic African-American men and women have high blood pressure.

African American adults are 60 percent more likely than non-Hispanic white adults to have been diagnosed with diabetes by a physician.

Although African Americans usually smoke fewer cigarettes and start smoking cigarettes at an older age, they are more likely to die from smoking-related diseases than Whites.

Although researchers aren’t sure why, evidence shows that African Americans have a 30 percent greater chance of dying from heart disease than Caucasian Americans.

Gee, wonder why Covid-19 hits them harder...

What do the following 20 states and DC have in common? Answer below-—

New York
New Jersey
Louisiana
Michigan
Connecticut
Massachusetts
District Of Columbia
Washington
Illinois
Rhode Island
Indiana
Colorado
Georgia
Vermont
Pennsylvania
Nevada
Delaware
Maryland
Mississippi
Oklahoma

These are the 20 States and DC that have the most covid deaths per million people in the USA.

But what is more interesting is that 16 of those States and DC have a DEMOCRAT leader.

Why are DEMOCRAT leaders having such problems?

You're right. None of this should be surprising. There is no limit to how low the 'Rats will go to destroy anyone they suspect disagrees and opposes them. They are exploiting a global tragedy to gain political favor, which is perhaps the final chasm into which they will descend.

In the end, the 'Rats are being what we always knew they are: hateful, intolerant, malignant, vicious, vulgar, and utterly immoral. You cannot find common ground with people as irredeemably iniquitous as they. There can be no "reaching across the aisle", because in that side lies only the darkness of humankind's baser essence.

PBS needed to replace Gwen Ifill, who passed away, and this motormouthed simpleton nonjournalist was the best they could find.

I call her Yamichelin.

You are right. The best thing to do is push the ignore button and let them go on and on. There are enough people who know and understand they have taken hatred to a new level. Don’t try to stop them. You can’t argue with a lunatic anyway!

If democrats are inherently evil, what does that say about your ‘friends’, neighbors or family members who vote for them?

By the way, this is probably just a rhetorical question. I suspect I already know your answer.

The Democrats want revolution. They want Americans shooting at each other and the military. They want a civil war that Trump can’t control. They also want everyone dead.

I’ll bite.

There is a plan to destroy the United States as founded by foreign adversaries, which is pretty much everybody.

Domestic enemies “these Democrats” are paid millions to go along with the plan.

Trump has exposed them all, but they don’t care because they don’t want to give the money back so they continue their assault in broad daylight unabated for all to see.

How was that?

I'm in close agreement.

What the encouragement was meant to do...spread the disease
causing more illness and death and cast more shadow on POTUS.
Yet the hue and cry is Republicans want people to die. Imagine that.
JMO, YMMV.

Democrats have been thoroughly brainwashed by their media, schools, entertainment, and by the echo chambers they live in (i.e., by fellow Democrats).

Their bizarre and disjointed behavior frequently on display is what happens when the artificial (i.e., non-reality-based) nature of such brainwashing collides with reality.

One of the problems with Democrats is that they have a dysfunctional group think mentally, they aren’t problem solvers they are problem creators. The only thing they can accomplish is renaming or banning.

Yuri Bezmenov explained everything.

Our children are brainwashed into Marxist ideology from an early age. Students go into journalism with the intent of "changing the world", and they are told that they must overthrow evil capitalist western society in order to bring about the Marxist "perfect society". Of course the end result is not paradise but Venezuela.
