As Pressure Mounts for Dems to Do Literally Anything, Top Senator Simply Says, ‘We Are Cooked’
Jezebel ^ | 2/19/25 | Kylie Cheung

Posted on 02/23/2025 3:05:04 AM PST by Libloather

Over the last few weeks, Democratic politicians haven’t been able to go out in public without members of their own base shouting at them to “do something” or “do your jobs”—meaning something, anything, that’s not just tweeting that Trump’s latest executive order is unconstitutional, or that Trump is bad. Unfortunately, the majority of the party’s leadership isn’t exactly rising to the challenge.

For example, on Tuesday, in response to a recent Fox News segment about how the right has swallowed up the media ecosystem, Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy—who holds a Senate leadership position—simply conceded that “we are cooked.” Helpful!

Since Donald Trump won reelection, conservatives have been doing something of a victory lap. On Monday night, Fox News’ Jesse Watters felt particularly braggadocious, going off on a little rant about how the right has successfully taken over the news. “We are waging a 21st-century information warfare campaign against the left,” he said. “Someone says something on social media, Musk retweets it, Rogan podcasts it, Fox broadcasts it… and by the time it reaches everybody, millions of people have seen it.”

Indeed, viral disinformation campaigns were instrumental to Trump’s reelection. As was the surging popularity of seemingly apolitical manosphere podcasters and influencers, who encourage their hoards of young, male followers to erroneously blame women and diversity for everything miserable and wrong with their lives, and coalesced around Trump.

Yep, notice how slander (”disinformation”) and they make declartive statements without any proof and resemblence to facts and then they repeat them:

<Indeed, viral disinformation campaigns were instrumental to Trump’s reelection?

I can see why the Left is so demoralized. Their lies aren’t working anymore. ( Not that the Left had any morals to begin with)

I feel the rage inside of the person who wrote this and I’m loving it :)

Oh and the hatred in the person writing this. Hopefully it consumes them and drives them mad.

I thought Democrats were champions of democracy? Democracy is a bitch when the people no longer support you, isn’t it?

Translation from the leftist PanicSpeak: the old media has lost its information dominance and the new media that is endrunning it is harder to control.

Not that they won’t try. Leftists will be relentless in trying to do here what Canada, the UK, Germany, China and others are doing to control “disinformation.” Every platform is vulnerable.

In other words, young men have realized that the Leftist establishment wants to emasculate them. Women are brainwashed to compete for traditionally male jobs and that they don't need a man in their lives for anything more than a sperm donor, IF they want to have a kid sometime in their lives. The lost population growth must be replaced with illegal aliens according to these elites. Young men, including minorities, understand this very well, and voted accordingly.

USAID was the left’s life blood - money. Lots and lots of money that they could use for anything they wanted, even bringing down a President. That source has been shut down.

DOGE is discovering the source, it will be up to law enforcement to follow the stream of money to where it ended up.

This takes time.

Watching how things are being done it would appear there is a plan on when to bring something to light. I don’t think we are yet at the stage for arrest and prosecution. I think we are at the stage of preparing Americans for the just how corrupt our political class is and how much they tried to destroy us.

When the time is right there will be arrest.

The propaganda arm of the Democrat party aka the corporate media has shredded its own credibility to the point that nobody but Baby Boomers even watch it anymore. Everybody else gets their news from independent sources the Democrats do not control.

Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy = “We are cooked”.

Yes, and soon hopefully many of their ilk will literally be cooked in a boiling vat of pig grease, as their death penalty reward. More pain and punishment is coming, much more. The gnashing of leftwing teeth has come at last. It’s glorious to behold.

Everybody knows that, yet they continue with the lies. They’re committing suicide, and then complain that they’re dying.

The View, Maddow, Scaarborough, etc.
