		<description>&lt;I&gt;They failed to support a child with multiple surgeries honored at the event, instead choosing to sulk in their seats. Their reaction was a spectacle of humiliation, making PRESIDENT Trump appear heroic while they looked like a defeated faction clinging to a bygone era.&lt;/I&gt;

Not to mention brain dead Democrats staring vacously when President Trump honored Laken Riley and other victims of the Biden/Harris open border plan..

And when &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump announced that the scumbag terrorist who engineered the ABBEY GATE massacre that killed 13 brave American troops had been captured!!???  It brought down the House!!!  

EXCEPT...

Except for brain dead Democrats who just sat there silent. Vacously clinging to their Ping Pong Paddles of #RESISTANCE....  :eyeroll:

I swear, is there no better example of how badly and how utterly IMPOTENT brain dead Democrats are in the face of &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump&#039;s AMERICA FIRST onslaught..

Woke progressive Democrats should pack it up and go home...

They are completely outmatched and outgunned...  

&lt;B&gt;So say we all.....&lt;/B&gt;</description>

		<description>I am actually surprised that 2025 CW didn&#039;t mention anything about Zelensky&#039;s groveling. Crawling, hat in hand, back to &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump begging &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump to sign the TRUMP PEACE PLAN...

Come to think of it, no... I am not really surprised..

All these WINS of &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump&#039;s just HAVE to be taking their toll on Trump/America haters and PTDS sufferers...

		<description>Now let&#039;s turn to Real Clear Politics, the ONLY &lt;B&gt;**OFFICIAL**&lt;/B&gt; Weigantian Source....  :D

The impotence of the brain dead woke progressive Democrats has never been more evident than in their recent response to &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump’s speech. Instead of mounting a viable resistance, they sat there, stone-faced and entitled, looking like petulant children denied their ice cream. Their inability to engage with the moment only served to elevate &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump, who delivered what many are calling the best speech of his political career.

The Democrats have done significant damage to their brand, and it’s unclear what they even stand for anymore. They failed to support a child with multiple surgeries honored at the event, instead choosing to sulk in their seats. Their reaction was a spectacle of humiliation, making &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump appear heroic while they looked like a defeated faction clinging to a bygone era.

As &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump spoke with confidence, the Democrats’ empty-eyed stares and lack of enthusiasm were a stark reminder of their disconnect from the American people. They’ve acted like they’re under occupation, unable to accept their electoral losses. This refusal to adapt or present a compelling vision for the future only solidifies their irrelevance. In contrast, &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump’s grand slam of a speech showcased his dominance, leaving the brain dead woke progressive Democrats in the dust.</description>

		<description>The following comes from SALON, a well known Democrat water carrier..

The Democrats&#039; Lawfare Antics: A Recipe for Political Oblivion

The Democratic Party&#039;s recent reliance on lawfare as a political strategy is not just misguided; it’s a glaring indication of their inability to connect with voters on a meaningful level. As any lawyer will tell you, it&#039;s cringe to see Democrats attempting to weaponize the law in a bid to undermine their opponents. 

This approach is not only unappealing but also fundamentally flawed in the realm of politics.

In the 2024 presidential campaign, the Democrats adopted the classic lawyer tactic of deflecting attention from their own shortcomings by focusing on the alleged misdeeds of their opponents. Instead of presenting a compelling vision for the future, they resorted to the tired refrain of “my client didn’t do anything.” This cliché may work in a courtroom, but it falls flat in the political arena, where voters crave inspiration rather than legalistic arguments. 

The brain dead Democrat strategy of painting themselves as the virtuous alternative to Donald Trump, while neglecting to articulate their own strengths, is a recipe for political oblivion.  

As we see happening in real time in the here and now.

Brain dead Democrats’ fixation on legal arguments, while ignoring the emotional resonance of storytelling, has left them adrift. 

Voters want to feel empowered and excited about the future, not merely reassured that they are not voting for Trump. The woke progressive Democrats’ failure to offer a positive narrative—one that inspires hope and enthusiasm—has rendered their campaign ineffective both during the &quot;war&quot; of the campaign but in the &quot;peace&quot; under &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump. 

Instead of crafting a vision that resonates with the electorate, brain dead Democrats have become ensnared in a web of legal jargon and procedural maneuvering that the legal lay person simply writes off as legal machinations.

The American voter says to themselves, &lt;B&gt;&quot;If Democrats can&#039;t simply give me a straight answer, but rather resort to legal machinations, then they must not have a case to make...&quot;&lt;/B&gt; 

And THAT is why the American voter overwhelmingly went with &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump...

Moreover, the woke progressive Democrats’ avoidance of specific policy proposals in favor of vague progressive goals is another classic lawyer move that backfires in politics. 

This strategy may protect them from criticism in a courtroom, but it alienates voters who seek clarity and conviction. The brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party&#039;s reluctance to take bold stances only reinforces the perception that they are out of touch with the needs and desires of the American people.

In a world where the stakes are existential, the Democrats’ lawfare antics come off as desperate and uninspired and downright dishonest. They seem to believe that by pointing out the flaws of their opponents, they can win the day. 

However, this approach ignores the fundamental truth of political campaigning: it’s not enough to be “not Trump.” Voters want to feel that their choices matter, and the Democrats’ current strategy fails to deliver that sense of empowerment.

The brain dead Democrats&#039; plan of Trump/America hate is already a PROVEN failure...  But it&#039;s the ONLY plan brain dead Democrats have to offer the American people...

Political oblivion??  Meet the brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party..

If the Democrat Party wishes to avoid political oblivion, they must abandon their reliance on lawfare and legal machinations and embrace a more authentic, emotionally resonant approach. It’s time for them to become better storytellers and less like lawyers in a courtroom. Only then can they hope to inspire the electorate and reclaim their place in American politics.

If this is what SALON (a well known brain dead Democrat Party propaganda outlet) is saying, ya&#039;all just HAVE to realize how bad off the woke progressive Democrat Party is...

I&#039;m just sayin&#039;....   :D</description>

		<description>So, it&#039;s funny to see 2025 CW still relying on WaPoop when it&#039;s clear that WaPoop is morphing into WaPo...

The following comes from WaPo....

The bone-head  ineffectiveness of Democratic Resistance to Trump

In the current political landscape, the brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party&#039;s attempts to resist President Trump&#039;s agenda have been nothing short of laughable. Columnist Monica Hesse from WaPo recently highlighted the absurdity and utter cringe-worthy of their so-called &quot;protests&quot; during one of &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump&#039;s congressional addresses, and her dead on ballz accurate critique raises serious questions about the party&#039;s ability to mount any meaningful effective opposition or any opposition at all. 

Hesse&#039;s observations about the woke progressive Democrats&#039; choice of protest attire—a coordinated display of pink outfits—speak volumes about their ineffectiveness and utter silliness. Instead of presenting a coherent and powerful message, the Democrats appeared to be sending a signal of confusion and incompetence. Hesse aptly noted that the brain dead Democrat message on display was essentially, &quot;We do not know what to do.&quot; 

This admission is alarming, especially considering the weeks of preparation leading up to the speech. Instead of formulating a robust opposition plan, the party resorted to wearing pink and waving ping-pong paddles, which Hesse sarcastically described as the pinnacle of their resistance efforts.

&lt;B&gt;&quot;THIS is the best Democrats can do!!???&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-WaPo&#039;s Monica Hesse

The props used by the Democrats, including signs with messages like &quot;MUSK STEALS&quot; and &quot;SAVE MEDICAID,&quot; were not only LAUGHABLY ineffective but also painfully earnest. Hesse pointed out that such displays fail to resonate with a White House that thrives on irreverence and mockery. The brain dead Democrats&#039; attempts to jeer and shout at Trump during his speech, particularly the outburst from Rep. Al Green, only served to highlight their desperation and flailing impotence rather than ANY semblence of strength. 

Hesse&#039;s biting analogies further illustrate the woke progressive Democrats&#039; predicament. She compared their protest methods to a &quot;hooptie sitting on blocks&quot; and questioned whether their previous efforts were any more effective than the current ones. The reality is that the brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party has tried a myriad of approaches—ranging from heartfelt pleas to snarky mockery—yet they find themselves back at square one, as if it were still 2016. 

In extraordinary times, the need for an extraordinary resistance is paramount. However, Hesse&#039;s commentary leaves us wondering if the brain dead Democrat leadership is simply trying the wrong tactics or, more troublingly, if they have exhausted all viable options. 

&lt;B&gt;&quot;You&#039;re old mother Hubbard and all you have are {PING PONG PADDLES} in the cupboard!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Randy Quaid, MAJOR LEAGUE II


The brain dead woke progressive Democrat Party&#039;s complete and utter inability to mount a serious challenge to Trump&#039;s agenda not only undermines their credibility (of which they have very precious little of) but also raises concerns about their future in American politics. 

If the brain dead Democrats cannot find a way to effectively resist, they risk becoming irrelevant in a landscape dominated by a president who seems to thrive on their ineptitude.</description>

		<description>Did ya&#039;all see how brain dead Democrats wore PINK to support women&#039;s rights..

It&#039;s especially ironic because the day before they voted to TAKE AWAY women&#039;s rights to play in women&#039;s sports with other women..

NOTHING says hypocrisy like voting to have women subjected to the brutality of men playing in women&#039;s sports!!!  

:eyeroll:


This is one of those 80/20 issues I was talking about..

Americans simply DO NOT WANT men being able to compete in women&#039;s sports...

Brain dead woke progressive Democrats are going to lose on this issue and lose BIG....</description>

<p>It's especially ironic because the day before they voted to TAKE AWAY women's rights to play in women's sports with other women..</p>
<p>NOTHING says hypocrisy like voting to have women subjected to the brutality of men playing in women's sports!!!  </p>
<p>:eyeroll:</p>
<p>This is one of those 80/20 issues I was talking about..</p>
<p>Americans simply DO NOT WANT men being able to compete in women's sports...</p>
<p>Brain dead woke progressive Democrats are going to lose on this issue and lose BIG....</p>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;&quot;After speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement,&quot; Trump wrote. &quot;This Agreement is until April 2nd. I did this as an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum. Our relationship has been a very good one, and we are working hard, together, on the Border, both in terms of stopping Illegal Aliens from entering the United States and, likewise, stopping Fentanyl. Thank you to President Sheinbaum for your hard work and cooperation!&quot; &lt;/B&gt;
-&lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Donald Trump

Once again, &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump proves all the brain dead woke progressive Democrats WRONG...

The THREAT of tariffs are bringing other countries back to AMERICA&#039;S way of thinking!!

Awesome Job &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump!!!!!   :D</description>

		<description>Liz,

&lt;I&gt;This is just one more reason why Dems may be out in the wilderness for a very long time. And, paddles with messages on them? Good God.&lt;/I&gt;

I know, right!!

The brain dead woke progressive Democrats put their complete and utter IMPOTENCE on display every day of the week and twice on Sunday!!

Practically EVERY issue that &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump has taken on are 80/20 issues..

Issues where 80% of Americans support &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump&#039;s actions...

And Democrats simply CAN&#039;T handle the fact that &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump is doing so AWESOME and so they fall back to the tried and truly FAILED Trump/America Hate and PTDS...

Trump/America Hate and PTDS are the ONLY arrows that woke progressive Democrats have in their quiver...

Which means, as you point out, that the Democrat Party is going to be in the political wastelands for a long long time...</description>

		<description>Well, it looks like the Weigantian Website is frak&#039;d up again..  :^/

Can&#039;t wait for the update.. 

Wasn&#039;t it supposed to happen by now??

Anyways...

Obviously 2025 CW realizes that &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump&#039;s speech was awesome!!!

Because *HE* has nothing bad to say about it, he is going with what some Trump/America hating brain dead moron said about the speech EVEN BEFORE the speech even occured!!

Talk about phoning it in!!!   :^/  

2010 CW is rolling in his grave...   :^/

Sadly, this simply illustrates how badly the woke progressive Democrats are lost in the wilderness..

ALL they can muster is PTDS and TRUMP/AMERICA hate...  They have NOTHING else to rely on...   

#sad

&lt;I&gt; a festival of meanness.&lt;/I&gt;

What, EXACTLY, was &quot;mean&quot; about the speech???

Was it &quot;mean&quot; to honor a 13 year old pediatric cancer patient who has fought bravely for half his life and making that kid&#039;s dream come true???   Was that &quot;mean&quot;???

No, it can&#039;t be that because it was brain dead woke progressive Democrats who were MEAN by sitting there in stony silence instead of applauding for that kid!!

Oh, wait.. Maybe it was MEAN for &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump to honor Laken Riley and other raped and murdered Americans.  Americans who were brutally raped and murdered by Biden/Harris and their OPEN BORDER policies...  Was that &quot;mean&quot;??

Can&#039;t be THAT either, because it was brain dead woke progressive Democrats who were MEAN by sitting their in stony silence instead of honoring those brutally raped and murdered Americans!!

Well, then it MUST have been &quot;mean&quot; when &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump announced that the terrorist scumbag who helped murder 13 brave Americans troops at Abbey&#039;s Gate in Afghanistan had been captured and the REAL patriotic Americans cheered and applauded about that capture??

No it CAN&#039;T be that either because it was brain dead woke progressive Democrats who were MEAN by sitting there in stony silence instead of applauding that this scumbag terrorist was captured!!

So, let&#039;s recap, kids...  The ONLY meanness at &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump&#039;s awesome speech was coming from the brain dead woke progressive Democrats...

These FACTS are well documented...

Com&#039;on 2025 CW...

You made a claim, now let&#039;s see it backed up with some FACTS...

What part of &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump&#039;s speech was &quot;mean&quot;...   :eyeroll:</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t watch the president&#039;s speech, and so I admit I also didn&#039;t read your transcript of Slotkin&#039;s response, though thank you for the courtesy of putting it out for us.

I was most taken by your commentary on how the Democrats in Congress just could not bring themselves to coordinate a media-savvy single message and single activity that would capture America&#039;s visual and political imagination. Why is that? How hard could it be, to at least try so that most, if not all, the Dems in the chamber were following a coordinated protest script, costumes, etc.?

It really is depressing to contemplate an opposition party that does not know how to effectively oppose. &quot;We don&#039;t have the votes - we can&#039;t actually do anything!&quot; they have been protesting. Well, no, you don&#039;t have the votes. But you had the national camera last night, and you threw it into the dumpster. Why?</description>
