□ [“California Democrats Block Legislation to Make Sex Trafficking of Minors a Felony"]

Tell people that you rape children without explicitly stating that you rape children.  That's why they get to be in charge of the whole state.  And none of them along the line have any awareness of how bad this makes them look.  If Trump opposes raping children, that's all Democrats need to know, they'll totally support that no matter the cost.

There must be citizens of California who think this is a bad idea.  Short of rioting, I honestly can't think of any contact they'd have with the leftists in charge.  They live in totally unconnected worlds, except that one is in charge of the other.  And sees nothing wrong with raping their children.

This just comes off as the sort of thing that should be listed on the book of sins when they arrive in Hell, except that it would be done while they're still here on Earth.  I'm trying to think of a precedent, fiction or otherwise, of bad people realizing they're involved with too much and have gone too far.  I'm sure there are examples but nothing is coming to mind.

□ [“Michelle Obama Claims Deportation Keeps Her up at Night – Her Husband Deported 3 Million Illegals"]
□ [“Chuck Schumer Claims Trump Trying to Intimidate Judges – Forgets He Threatened SCOTUS in 2020"]
□ [“AOC Said Biden Should Ignore Court Rulings in 2023"]

There's no way this could be planned, but if you could manipulate the enemy into admitting how things are good when they do them and bad only when others do them, this is what it would look like.  They can't admit that they said this and nobody will be permitted to ask them, so there's just limping onwards, defying the complete contradiction of their own words.  Biden *did* ignore judges but it's unlikely anyone's going to ask him about that.

I think we're still too far in the middle of it to get a decent view of events, but I do suspect Trump has been deliberately going after the leftist elites with specifics on doing the things they like so they have to specifically contradict themselves.  How many of them realize this is what they're doing, how many have no clue about this, and how many are ruled by their emotions so they feel justified in ignoring this and attack Trump for doing what they've already done?

Just a guess, but I'd assume the left is getting worn out by this a lot faster than normal people.  We've already had to put up with this and for a lot longer than the last four years.  Now we finally get to see some of our side winning and the left can't stand it.  This is why it's hard to take leftist media claims seriously that Trump voters are regretting their vote.  How could any of them not know this is what we voted for?

□ [“Governor Gretchen Whitmer and President Trump Warmly Embrace as He Arrives in Michigan"]

No idea if he actually embarrasses her although it's supposed to look like that's what he's doing.  She says she doesn't have anything to say, just adds a few comments about the military and leaves it at that.  I get the impression Trump is somewhat amused by this.  He won Minnesota but for some reason they elected a Democrat.  She's been criticizing him a lot, yet has to be there for him because he's POTUS.

This happened a couple weeks ago when she was seen in pix at the White House.  She actually tried to hide her face, but Democrats still criticized her for daring to act like a governor.  Trump's giving her credit for taking part in these events because he... hates women.  She doesn't want to be seen by the left and is attacked by them because they... support women.

It's the sort of thing that you'd think she could make use of when she tries to run for POTUS, showing how she gets along with other people.  But it's also the same thing Democrats will use to destroy her.  They could do something that might win over voters or they can keep doing what they've been doing but they can't do both.

□ [“Native American Woman to Challenge David Hogg for DNC Vice Chair After Party Infighting"]

This just comes off as being the worst time for everybody.  Why didn't she challenge him before?  She cites DNC rules demanding skin colors and pretend-genders or whatever, why was all that ignored a couple months ago?  They needed a white man so badly that they had to ignore his desire to purge old party members and get lots of money for himself?

But then what's the point of all the rules on DEI if they only get used when convenient?  He's causing problems for the party but they don't have any actual rules to use against him.  This is just an entertaining struggle as the party causes its own problems, and somehow getting more power will solve everything.  Unfortunately they're keeping all the conflict behind the scenes.

I assume they'll dump this chick.  Hogg is not going to last very long but that would be the only reason I'd bet against him at the moment.  In an internal struggle like this, they'll stick with who they installed into office against all competitors.  But as I said, more is going on behind closed doors so maybe there are other options.
