This is how you really want to start WTF ?

If I am understanding this correctly, 11 Democrats are the reason why Hegseth was not impeached! According to congresswoman Kamlager-Dove 11 Democratic no-shows caused this to happen.

If she is correct then WT FLYING F , holding people accountable and passing legislation. BLUE TSUNAMI, remember that? Back to middle of the road, don’t do what people obviously want already? Of course it would have failed in the senate, but to not do the right thing, especially after the election results? WT FLYING F

8. They must have multiple giant warehouses full of dry powder by now
enough to do some major things.

Or, they'll get some more warehouses to hold even more dry powder to ensure that if there is ever a dictatorship beginning in the US they will be ready....oh, wait.

I can't find the video clip, but this immediately came to my mind from a 1985 movie....

When they try to find shelter and encounter a padlocked trailer in the middle of nowhere, a classic comedic exchange happens:

• Alison: "I might have a nail file... I have a credit card. I have a credit card!"
• Gib: "Credit cards work on a completely different kind of lock."
• Alison: "No, you don't seem to understand. I have a credit card!"
• Gib: (Relieved) "You have a credit card?"
• Alison: (Suddenly crestfallen) "Oh. My dad told me specifically I can only use it in case of an emergency."
• Gib: (Sarcastically) "Well, maybe one will come up."

I suppose an emergency might come up, eventually.

I doubt MisRepresentative K-D's claim, but taking it as correct, I think:

* Dem Congress Critters do not want an R's name on the articles of shampeachment. They want ALL the "credit".

* Dem Congress Critters want to stack the shampeachment deck, not allow Rs to pick the committee.

* Dem Congress Critters want to be able to obstruct or bar effective responses to the shampeachment. Choo-oo chooooooo!

These same "standards" will be imposed on ever other shampeachment have planned.

Oh, the backstabbing has only begun, DUrps. Your party just can't help itself.

Once they betray their country, betraying the DUmp'Rat proles who foolishly put them "in power" is ridiculously easy.

It gets better: 8 of the 11 Democrats who didn't show up (including their House Whip) were at a fundraiser hosted by an organization called Elect Democratic Women, which is connected to AIPAC.

That's going to rankle many Democrats, especially the far-left variety.

Caught this tangentially related story today about "Top 8 Democrats to Watch for 2028". I'll add my editorial comment when necessary:

Mark Halperin’s 2028 Democratic Power Rankings Have One Big Problem

Veteran political journalist Mark Halperin has released his first “8 for ’28” rankings of potential Democratic presidential contenders since the midterm elections, but as with any early horse race, he acknowledges there’s a chance many of those on the list won’t even run for president. Also, the two men at the top share one enormous problem.

Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) and Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) claim the top two spots, in that order, after convincingly winning reelection in battleground states.

The two men were the biggest winners of the midterms, and Halperin argues they are the only two Democrats most Republicans he talks to genuinely fear facing in a general election. Ossoff jumped from No. 8 on last month’s list, and Halperin says he easily could have ranked him No. 1 after talking with Democratic sources, who were most impressed by both men’s communication and fundraising abilities.

But the obvious problem is that both are Jewish, a big negative for the increasingly antisemitic Democratic Party. Halperin wonders whether two hypothetical developments might make that more palatable: Benjamin Netanyahu no longer being Israel’s prime minister and the Iran war receding from the headlines. He also notes that Ossoff is less culturally Jewish and observant than Shapiro, so “maybe he cheats the difference there.”

If you think the antisemites in the Democratic Party will be okay with a Jew who doesn’t observe the Sabbath and criticizes Netanyahu, watch this video of California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-11th District), who is Jewish and as progressive as they come, being harassed at a trans march in San Francisco.

My humble opinion. In this current and likely future atmosphere, the Democrat/Socialist/Communist Party absolutely cannot run a Jew. Their rules not mine, as I have no issues with Judaism or any form of Christianity or peaceful religion. Noticed that the cherubic billionaire nepoboy Goobernor of Illinois isn't listed. He's also a a Jew. Rich and Jewish? Two strikes against you, fat boy.

I miss the barely one-year election run-up to a Presidential election. And when all ballots are counted within a day or so. I suppose the social media atmosphere creates this claptrap and hubbub constantly. But sadly don't think we can ever get back to that.
