After Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump,  Brian Fallon needed a job. Fallon had served as Clinton’s national press secretary during the campaign, and before that he had done the same job for my colleague Chuck Schumer in the Senate. For a while, his reputation around Washington, DC, was stellar. He was, according to a lengthy profile in the Daily Beast, “one of the most sought-after operatives in Democratic politics: a brass-knuckle brawler with experience at the highest levels of government, a cellphone filled with the top journalists in town, and a reputation for being preternaturally on message.”

But something changed in Fallon after Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump. He became less interested in traditional politics, giving up a role as a commentator on CNN, and more interested in ways of putting pressure on Democrats to take radical action.

By 2018, two years into President Trump’s first term, Fallon and his friends in Democratic politics had seen some of their party’s core ideas repudiated time and time again at the ballot box. They had lost the game of electoral politics. So, they figured, they would change the rules of the game to give themselves a better chance of winning.

In 2018, urged by liberal political consultants such as John Podesta, Fallon started Demand Justice, a group whose mission, at least on its face, was to stop President Trump from making more judicial appointments.

The democrats already released their assassins. Pelosi refuses to protect them. Shumer and the entire democrat leadership call out their terrorists to “reep the world winds” for wrong think. There is no doubt in my mind Kavennaugh’s would be assassin was a democrat party operative. Look how quickly the whole thing was swept under the rug. “Man tries to do some thing. AND NOW for sports.”

This crop of assclowns are the last bunch of politicians who should be monkeying around with the Constitution, the electoral college, or the Supreme Court. They can’t even budget, legislate, or do whatever other job they’re required by law. I despise them.
