I’ve been pondering this disconnect for several weeks as the messaging from inside the beltway, including their expressed priorities, seem even more disconnected than before. The DC bubble has always been present; however, lately the disconnect is even more profound.
Perhaps the increased distance in priorities can be explained by federal politicians cancelling townhall meetings and constituent engagement due to the pandemic. Perhaps politicians are holding party positions disconnected from the population they are supposed to represent because they have spent two years physically distancing from the voters. Whatever the cause, the disconnect is now more severe.
The contrast is even more significant when it comes to the far-left politicians, because they travel amid a very closed communal tribe where outside opinions are considered toxic to their sense of identity. The term “safe spaces” was literally coined because leftists cannot handle differences of opinion.
The professional leftist arguments are generally flawed, illogical, antithetical to common values and historically weak. As an outcome their advocate policy positions are weak and easy to deconstruct when challenged. To avoid being challenged they rarely hold open discussions with constituents in their districts without extreme vetting measures to avoid confrontation.
Regardless of root cause, most Democrats are severely disconnected from the economic reality of their district citizens. This is evidenced in a Politico report today discussing the example of Democrat House member Katie Porter of California.
As the article notes, Ms. Porter told the House Democrat Caucus of her experience in the ‘real world’ with people who are grocery shopping. The perplexed Democrats sat quietly listening to the stories of how price increases for food and gasoline are seriously hurting something called ‘working-class‘ people.
The ideological Democrat caucus was stunned to hear of these stories from a place called Main Street USA, where people go shopping for food and stuff.
However, Ms Porter is optimistic that for the first time since she has been in office, the House Democrats could now have an understanding of how rising energy prices, increasing gasoline prices and major jumps in food prices might be a problem for Americans who do not live in DC.
(Politico) […] Only after Rep. Katie Porter put bacon in her cart at her local grocery store recently did she notice that its price had spiked to $9.99 a pound. Reluctantly, she put the package back.
It was a dose of reality that Porter, a California progressive and single mother of three, has long understood. But she’s not sure all of her Democratic colleagues share her interest in connecting to average Americans’ experiences outside the Beltway.
When Porter gave an emotional speech about how inflation has been hitting her family for months during a private House Democratic Caucus meeting last week, she said it seemed like the first time the personal toll of high consumer prices had sunk in for some lawmakers in the room.
“Too often, Congress recognizes issues too late,” Porter, a top GOP target this fall in a swing district, said in an interview. “I had a colleague mention to me, ‘We’re not seeing it in the polls’ … Well, you don’t know what to ask.”
For Porter, the episode revealed how much work Democrats still need to do to assure voters they understand everyday anxieties, particularly inflation’s strain on family budgets. She’s not alone: Some Democrats have warned for months their party is falling short when it comes to communicating to an increasingly exasperated public. (read more)
Unfortunately, the Republicans don’t get it either, as they vote to send $40 billion to Ukraine. We have our work cut out for us…cleanup on Aisle 1, 2, 3….
According to Lira Ukraine is all but over, just a mop up project now, which would explain the uptick in the amount and the panic to get it passed. Russia wins and American citizens are screwed over, again.
They get it. They just don’t care.
Cuz public opinion doesn’t matter when elections are rigged.
There are very few politicians that care about the people. Once they get elected, their only priority is to stay in office. We must institute term limits. It will change the dynamic of our system. Career politicians have to go.
We have to gut the store down to the timbers.
Raze it to the ground, salt the earth and wall it off from the rest of the country.
It is easy to understand …………………. much of that money will be laundered and come back to those who voted for it. It is not just a cleanup ……………….. the whole experience of being a “representative” needs reform.
Zelenskyy will get some to add to his massive 1.25 billion stuffed in accounts around the world for acting
No. This money comes back for the primaries and the fall election. This is desperation funding for the election and is they lose there may not be another gravy train stop at the station.
And don’t forget: some of those who voted for the newest $40 billion for Ukraine know full well they may not win re-election, so this could be the last time at the taxpayer trough for them. (Gotta fleece the taxpayers as often and for as much as you can, especially if you suspect your days in office are numbered.)
My RINOpublican Congressman Simpson (R-ID) voted for the package. Been in office 23 years and many are so fed up with him. Enough to unseat him with the MAGA candidate running against him in the primary next Tuesday? (Yes, we are lucky enough to have a MAGA candidate 🙂 Time will tell.
Regardless of the primary’s outcome: this SOB just helped himself to one more huge swipe of laundered money to line his pockets before he hopefully becomes a FORMER congressman in January 2023. (This guy makes me vomit in my mouth every time I see his face or hear his voice. Sorry to be so graphic, but it’s true. I’m sure many here can relate the feeling to their RINO reps in Congress…..)
PS–expecting our RINOpublican Senator Crapo to vote in favor of the Ukraine aid bill. He’s up for re-election this year, and is a real POS, too. (Has an apartment in Idaho, his family lives in Utah). Fortunately, he has a MAGA (Independent Conservative) candidate in the general who’s very solid. Crossing my fingers and working my tail off to see this POS become a FORMER senator…..
OK, I’m done venting…..
I am so sick of Republican’t fakes I could puke in my own mouth. I lived in Bingham County for several years. The politicians in Idaho always talked a big conservative game, but always seemed to fold up like origami. I left the Gem State 9 years ago, I cannot believe how many Commiefornians have landed there and in Montana!
The vote was 368 to 57, all 57 votes were Republicans, so Republicans did not vote to send $40 billion to Ukraine.
I bet they knew upfront it would pass without their vote and i bet the majority are up for reelection so…. more kabuki theater.
The majority of Republicans did vote to approve it. Only 57 voted against it and many of them would have voted yes if needed but hey they get their money (kick backs) and were able to vote no
Recent recollection provides 2oo + – Republicans in the House.
Please reference the unified D. C. Support for the Ukrainian Laundromat
Ah, there are a lot more than 57 Republicans in the House. I get your point all “no” votes were Republican but all Dems and a majority of Repubs voted “yes”!
140+”republcans” vote to help not so glorious 404 country…
Mo Brooks, who is running for Senator in Alabama voted yes. I guess he really isn’t a true conservative like he says. My House rep., Barry Moore, voted No…so i guess we’ll keep him.
My Rep. Greg Murphy of eastern NC voted for this $40 billion waste of taxpayer money. My wife and I voted for this phony last election because President Trump asked us to do so. We will not vote for this phony again.
If interested check out “ the vineyard “ Russian articles by “ The Saker” appear there.
Several CTH supporters regularly post on the Saker.
An article posted today ( May 11) outlining the U.S. primarily and other NATO members and big pharmaceuticals involvement in Ukrainian Bio Labs
If only 20% accurate.
Should be all over the MSM.
Cheers!
Dekester Are you talking about the saker on the site Russia Insider??? I just read an article there ‘covid end of IS world leadership, gives a good view of what others think of the US and capitalism.
Sorry end of U.S. not is
My RINO changeling congress-critter voted for that monstrosity and I PERSONALLY met with him when he was scrounging for votes in his initial GOP primary contest a few years back. He never would have deigned to meet with a HIV (High Information Voter) peasant had he not been desperate for every single vote–which I can say I delivered at least a couple hundred.
Working on correcting that mistake.
They all want their cut of it. There’s higher food and gas prices so they need the extra money!!! Poor Kathy can’t afford the bacon so instead she will bring home the bacon $$$$!
“Let them eat cake.”…….. wasn’t a misquote…… they hate us, they have told us they hate us ….. take appropriate action.
THEY don’t hate us….THEY mock us while working for themselves.
Negative Mike, the despise us.
They despise us. If they were indifferent and just self-interested, they wouldn’t spend so much money and political capital on shutting down those who attempt to speak truth about the fabricated Russia collusion narratives, the Hunter Biden laptop scandal and Biden family corruption, covid, the quackcines, the election fraud, January 6 prisoners, CRT, parental rights, teaching sexual deviancy in element schools, etc etc..
They absolutely despise everyone who knows the truth about them and wants to do something about it.
We can’t afford cake. A five pound bag of flour that was 99 cents at Aldi last spring is now $1.56. Sugar costs 40 cents more for a 4 pound bag.
Huh? I wanna move THERE!
Me, too Kookoo 🙂
You’re getting off cheap!
The cake Marie Antoinette was referring to was cattle food that was called cake.
As I understand it, the “cake” Louie’s mistress alluded to was the animal offal that caked onto the underside of carriages traversing the roadways of France.
Realistically, isn’t this the sort of potty-mouth talk that you would expect from a whore?
Well, come election time, Democrats will feel our pain … we’re running on empty and we’re not filling you clowns up any more.
Come election time,the way these lefties are acting there won’t just be 2000 mules.
There will be 20000, or however many they need to win.
Well…..

Supposed to be the reply to a post below. I’ll just go clean my glasses now…….
… I hear what yer sayin’ … but we did not git rid of the machines …
whether ballots will be enough, who knows?
They’ll cheat their way to victory easily enough. Don’t doubt Dems gaining seats in Congress.
With the move to digital currency and away from cash, they won’t need our consent. They will simply take it. Anytime they want.
The Dems are just incredible. They are running pro-Biden ads right now in PA with some dude thanking Biden for “keeping costs down” for average Americans. It’s just a stunning disconnect.
Well…..
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
-some German guy
Trump’s fault.
Putin…
Dem Voters are famous for “Don’t confuse me with the facts” mentality.
That’s not a disconnect. They’re running on projecting a false reality.
It’s amazing how they can lie so easily.
It’s the nature of psychopaths. The have evil instincts and no conscience.
Yes, psychopaths all! I’d be afraid to even step one foot in D.C. I would think you could literally feel the evil that congregates there.
I don’t know about the polls but what I’m seeing at the grocery store tells me that people are very concerned about the high prices and shortages of products that used to be abundant. That being said I don’t go to the stores the ruling Elite shop at.
They don’t shop at the stores. They have their “people” do the shopping for them. Helps to maintain that disconnect from the Great Unwashed..
Nice. I like.
With all the food delivery services, plenty of lefty loon non-policians have no clue either. Besides, they have been programmed to believe they must endure some hardship for the promised utopia. They must be feeling very “collectively joined to the cause” right now.
The Congressional version of mass formation psychosis?
No problem in cali, living the high life rent free for another 18 months for a total of over three years! Who care about inflation?
.
Make middleclass landlords sell to Blackrock and Chinese investors.
.
You’d almost think that WAS the game plan.
Diesel availability to be slashed by 50% by June. Even if there is food, no one will be delivering it!
Oh Damn! Biden really wants food shortages doesn’t he.
Do you have a specific article on that? I’d like to send it to a couple people.
https://www.brighteon.com/e7d89e08-7f1e-4070-8ec7-d1936c46ea9c
I think it may be a little over the top though.
Well, I guess I need to top off the diesel tank for the tractor.
Stay stupid my friends.
Well, the democrats should get out of their bubble more. The rumblings at the gas pumps, with people saying “FJB” out loud, and the discussions in the aisles at the local Kroger among perfect strangers discussing the increased prices, are getting louder. People know who to blame as well. Maybe it’s because I live in a red county in a red state but I’m hearing a lot of comments in the grocery aisles of things like, “I don’t know if we will make it until November” and “I can’t wait until we can vote these “sonabiches” out. The discontent is increasing and people are royally pissed!
You say you live in a red area. Obviously we know how the regular people there would vote anyway. I’m more fascinated what the average person in blue states is saying. I live in New Jersey and for a while already I hear coworkers complaining about gas prices, rising costs, they’re totally done with the whole Covid thing and vaccines. And we’re health care workers!! I’m not delusional to think that blue states will turn red but our governor had a tougher reelection than expected. There isn’t any enthusiasm whatsoever for democrat positions that I can see here. I’d be happy if we can pick off at least one congressional seat here. Unfortunately NJ is a RINO club.
I’m in a blue state and my neighbor across the street is as blue as they get. He told me all this inflation was Putin’s fault. He watches CNN, MSNBC etc and thinks he’s informed. I’m surrounded by people like him. They blame everyone but the current administration. You can’t change their mind no matter how many facts you give them.
Can’t believe how stupid some of the people I know really are. They’re completely indoctrinated. The ones who can’t wait to stampede in for the next “vaccination” are the most shocking.
He’s lost. Don’t even try.
As I’ve said before in other threads, I too live in a deep blue state and the true blue Democrats all around me blame Covid, Putin, and ‘Trumps disastrous economic policies’ for the inflation and for supply shortages.
These people watch CNN, MSNBC etc. etc. not to be informed, but to have their preconceived opinions reinforced and validated. That is the audience MSNBC and CNN cater to.
I heard one of these people say to another awhile back, “You know, Donald Trump was the worst president in American history. Can you imagine how much worse things would be right now if Trump were still president?”
Doesn’t matter. Polls will mysteriously tighten before the election, despite how anything is on the ground, and Dems will claim victories days and weeks after election day. Like always.
I’m in Colorado and what I hear is pretty similar to what CF said. However, this is maybe a red state perspective. Colorado probably never actually turned blue, and I think that is starting to occur to people now.
I am from NJ too. I think the election was rigged
I’m in California and the moaning in the grocery aisles is loud, lots of FJB hate even here
She looked at the bacon, she looked at the price, and as her stomach sank, she realized, “I’m going to lose this election. ”
The problem isn’t that the Dem caucus doesn’t understand what average Americans are suffering. It is that they really do not care. Therefore they do nothing.
Only taking action to address the regime’s war on energy and inflationary actions would prevent a red wave, and that simply will not happen.
May they get the electoral shellacking they deserve, and may the Dominion voting machines be dismantled so that we can actually have a real election and throw the American-hating bums out of office.
<She looked at the bacon, she looked at the price, and as her stomach sank,
she realized, “I’m going to lose this election. ”>
It wouldn’t be the first time a Congressman lost an election
for not bringing home the bacon. 🙂
No, but it should be a good lesson for the left on what it costs us for them to bring it home.
OMG! That was B-A-D! True but baaaad!
None of our CONgresscritters are economists and I have no doubt they genuinely do not understand (and don’t care to know) the real relationship between the Green New Deal, Fed printing, and high prices.
We need to elect MAGA only, pipe dream but true.
They will keep the same message, “Joe has/is doing everything he can to keep prices down,” “the Republicans are the cause” and not a single Republican is voicing opposition. Oh, that’s right they are all in on it too. Like so many here have said – cleanup needed across all isles. Time to send a clear and present message WE WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT YOUR CONTINUED DESTRUCTION OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY!
One day when I was entirely bored, I actually briefly listened 🤣 to one of those entirely-automated “telephone poll” calls. It was immediately obvious who had sponsored it.
All of the questions were “tropes,” as were all of the available so-called answers. At no point was there any option for me to talk to any human being. The creator of the so-called “survey” could be entirely sure what the “results” would be – and all of them would be entirely meaningless. 🤷♂️
Anyone who agreed with their preconceived notions would eagerly complete the survey, while the rest of them (like me …) would hang up in disgust. Which means that the survey would not “measure” them.
“There are lies, damned lies, and public opinion polls.”
Always remember: the true purpose of a public opinion poll is to shape public opinion, not to measure it. They serve to tell the rest of the lemmings where the other lemmings have already leaped.
truth this^^^^
It’s even worse than that.
Two days ago I get a call from un unknown number, and I answer it. It’s a poll about healthcare.
Caller: “Sir, we’re calling from blah blah blah today to poll people in your area about their veiws on healthcare”.
Me: Ok.
Caller: What is your zip code, Sir?
Me: (insert very rural zip code here)
Caller: I’m sorry, Sir. We aren’t taking information from people in your zip code. Have a good day.
<click>
This is the result of creating self-serving media outlets that only give one side of everything, supplying those outlets with the only information they are permitted to use, and then listening to those sources exclusively.
They create their own news from their own biased beliefs and then end up listening to only themselves.
“echo echo echo echo echo echo chamber chamber chamber chamber chamber …”
Maybe they should adapt the Hitler Bunker clip and add subtitles with Hitler represents the DNC and the speaking generals represent fearful Dem Representatives.
They are actually seem to be following Stalin’s Holodomor plan except it is the USA instead of Ukraine.
Truly, so much of what they’re doing looks like planned food insufficiency.
This feels staged. Not the shock and awe from supposed Politicians who can’t watch TV, though they do. But from the person saying it.
Politico is the stage, and the line delivery comes from “a progressive and single mother of three” who is a “top GOP target in this fall in a swing district.”
So yes, this absolutely smells of an attempt to connect vulnerable incumbents to their constituents. But one wonders how many single mothers of three have the time or energy to read about empathetic California progressives and their bacon anxieties these days.
Well, she’s a Democrat. Democrats have turned lying into an art form. They are as good at creating illusions for their “true believer” constituents as any script writers in Hollywood.
So yes, of course it’s staged. She provides the performance and the liars at Politico embellish the story to help convince those who still foolishly read that yellow journalism rag expecting to find substantive content.
Perhaps the increased distance in priorities can be explained by federal politicians cancelling townhall meetings and constituent engagement due to the pandemic. Perhaps politicians are holding party positions disconnected from the population they are supposed to represent because they have spent two years physically distancing from the voters. Whatever the cause, the disconnect is now more severe.
Liz Cheney’s challenger, Harriet Hageman, told Steve Bannon a few weeks ago that Cheney has never done a Townhall with her Wyoming constituents.
“Candidate Harriet Hageman: Liz Cheney Is on Wyoming’s Ballot, Yet Nowhere in the State”
https://rumble.com/vz6i8l-candidate-harriet-hageman-liz-cheney-is-on-wyomings-ballot-yet-nowhere-in-t.html
Not true. Liz Cheney held a meeting with about 20 seniors in their lunch hall here in Carbon County. I was there.
Good enough. Was that recently… like last couple of years? Hageman says last meeting was 2016, when she was elected.
Mmmm! Good question! Thank you for the follow-up!
You know what I see locally?
$4.549 a gallon for gasoline and about $6.409 for diesel, both of which are climbing. Then there’s the groceries, electricity, etc.
Not a day goes by without me hearing of the grumbling of all of this inflation. It is also getting louder.
I’m expecting to start seeing a defibrillator at every checkout in the neighbourhood WalMart where I shop as prices start to climb higher and higher.
The next self checkout revision to be rolled out will come with an automated defibrillator function built in. To top that off, there might be one actual cashier per dozen of those machines. /s
I might have to connect to one before I start scanning. If it comes to that, I’ll know game over.
add a dollar to that here in California
Don’t buy any of this BS. Politico and the Dems are following a carefully crafted media and campaign strategy. Everything is scripted.
Polls do not squeeze gasoline handles. Polls do not push shopping carts.
Polls do not have to choose between new shoes for their children or new brakes for their cars.
The professional politician views politics as a science, and the constituent as a specimen which must be dissected and studied through polls and punditry. This process breeds first detachment, then contempt.
Those taught to value polling, not the people within the polling, will see only polling. They will only ask the polling. And they will not understand why the polling cannot respond.
Polls also do not vote.
Programmed machines vote.
“Polls do not have to choose between new shoes for their children or new brakes for their cars.”
Polls do not have to choose between two months’ rent and new brakes for their cars. FIFY
When we got our brakes pads replaced back in March, $3000.
Them there some kind of spensive brake pads! 😮
(My shocked face!!!) And I mean it!
I think this is your reason people in DC (especially democrats) seem so completely disconnected.
“‘We’re not seeing it in the polls”
Everything turdocrats do is poll tested, or poll related. All they do is react to polls with poll tested messaging and optics.
“Internet killed the Pollster”.
DC GOP do exactly the same thing. Because it’s one party, not two.
You cannot find that for which you do not look…….
When you do not spend one second buying food gas or pay your own bills how would they know what anything cost. They have people buy the groceries pay the electric bill, anything to do with everyday living that is not of their concern
No wait, they do know what their multi million dollar homes yachts jeweled necklace watches cost and for sure they know how much worth there is in their stock portfolio.
These are freakish petulant children in charge of our country, even if they are over 80! Spoiled brats need an a$$ whoope’n.
It’s an insult to children to compare them to amoral, sociopathic adult politicians. There is way more wrong with political critters than immaturity.
YAWN! “Let them eat cake…”
They think they’re not seeing it?>!.1.>!>!!?? Whoever said that is entirely outside their mind. They’re headed for a negative landslide of epic proportions SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE of the insanely idiotic policies that led to that pol making the point, and there’s no question of it. The polls actually DO show it clearly, and people know it well.
I find myself hoping they continue to be this idiotically obtuse, because it’ll only deepen the distruction.
We’ve got to have an election before there is any chance of a ‘landslide’. The more massive the expected gelding party wave, the more likely the communist party will cancel the election. It should be no problem to arrange; they can choose from the following: “National Emergency” account fbi’s antifa/blm wing burning/looting cities; food riots; anti Supreme Court mostly peacful riots; a hot war with Russia; false flag operations; something unimaginable at this point.
And while the rank and file comrades might actually be this brain-dead, the big boys at the other end of biden’s strings will certainly have access to no-bs polls. They haven’t come this far to mess up like that.
Thank you Sundance for the detailed explanation of the bubble that these folks live in.
It’s also enlightening to read the Dem discussion that they need to “assure voters that they understand everyday anxieties”. This stuns me on two levels – 1) it suggests that they believe their voters/constituents love them so much that all they need is an acknowledgement of their bleak condition, 2) they have no solution for the worsening inflation crisis.
None of us are surprised by this. What is really surprising to us – is how the R’s and the MSM exist in the exact same bubble. It’s almost like the Republican Party doesn’t want to take the mantel of power and save the American people from these crazies.
‘We’re not seeing it in the polls’ … “Well, you don’t know what to ask.”

C’mon people. Clap yo hands together, now! Let’s all give Katie a big DUH! Whoop, whoop, she-bop-shabamala!
You catch on too late, Katie. You and the Dem gang have done gone and broke it (U.S.A.).
Now what are you going to do to fix it?
Oh… no clue? ………………………No surprise.
Useful idiots gotta useful idiot.

If I weren’t a Southern reared woman, I’d join you on that last word. Alas…
““Too often, Congress recognizes issues too late,” Porter, a top GOP target this fall in a swing district, said in an interview. “I had a colleague mention to me, ‘We’re not seeing it in the polls’ … Well, you don’t know what to ask.””
Yeah, I don’t buy this BS. If this were the case, why did they pass a massive increase for Congressional staff salaries? Did they think they were just doing that good of a job?
Have they never set foot in a grocery store in the last 12 months? Never pumped their own gas? Their spouses never talk to friends?
Were they thinking Biden and Little Red Lying Hood were blaming COVID, Putin and the Great MAGA King erroneously?
Don’t whizz down my neck and tell me it’s raining.
Kathy Barnette on Twitter:
“It’s not just cryptocurrency. It’s not just the stock market tanking. It’s not just inflation skyrocketing. It’s not just the gas prices hitting record highs. It’s not just the food shortages. It’s the combination of it all that is CRUSHING the working class!”
But even more, all of them ARE ON PURPOSE.
War
Missing Andrew Breitbart. and Rush.
Yes, I miss Rush so often. Yet, in some ways, I am grateful that he didn’t live to see what is being done to this once great country that he loved to his very core. If his heart didn’t break at the election steal, it certainly would have broken by now over all that has been torn asunder in less than 18 months…..
I have often thought the exact same thing, Rose. He was spared from all of this destruction.
The problem with many demonrats is that they reside in districts that are 80/20 demonrat voter registration, so they win no matter how bad things are.
The shellacking that’s coming there way in November will be a site to see. 😎
“Food and Stuff” is a great place to get hamburger meat and anything else you need.

Interview with Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific
Cursor to 43:29 if necessary.
Katie Porter, along with all her Democrat colleagues voted to send $40 billion to Ukraine, without one single thought to those “struggling Americans”.
I saw this story earlier today and my first thought on seeing her picture was that Katie Porter hasn’t missed too much bacon or cereal in the last few years. She has a net worth of between $2-3 million, so her family isn’t really struggling and those other Dems knew she wasn’t. It obviously had no effect on any of that House Caucus because they also voted for that $40 billion for Ukraine.
They don’t know how to care. They can’t see beyond what they want right now.
But she doesn’t have as much as Mitch McConnell so probably feels really poor. That’s what counts in The Big Club.
Typical – let them eat cake – comment and attitude, from elitist, wellfed, well paid, FAT CATS.
Polls are run by the same dominion propaganda
When you just printed 40 billion dollars why do you need voters for? If only Fauci conned up of hemorrhaging fever just in time for 2022 election.
Willyfully ignorant. Every one of them.
Control the energy, control nations (case in point, Russia oil gave Russia the funds to wage war and perhaps Putin thought he was taking advantage of the senile old fool Biden without a full appreciation that Biden isn’t calling the shots),
And
Control the food, control the people. We all see where that is going.
It appears to be going just as planned.
I will add, the timing of withholding baby formula at the same time of the Roe Vs Wade Supreme Court leak is one twisted bit of sick irony.
As for November voting? We will be too busy waiting in food lines to vote.
Please pray.
Anyone think they will register people to vote as they stand in food lines????
Maybe that’s the plan: only those registered to vote can receive food—and just like that, they’ll require a voter ID, NOT for voting but for eating.
This looks to me like they are going to play this like they have been playing it since POTATUS was installed.
Ignore the massive inflation that started the day he was installed. Ignore the effect on the economy from his policies, particularly energy.
Grift and steal as much from the treasury as possible knowing they are going to lose, then point at the GOP in November and blame them for the mess.
The media will happily play along.
Reason Porter kind of gets are:
1) She won her seat due to voter harvesting (fraud) in 2018
2) She’s from a historically heavily Republican district
3) Will likely lose her seat given the direction of the Party (even though her opponent is as corrupt as the Clintons.)
Deaf, dumb and blind.

This is classic Rich People Syndrome…in one of the wealthiest cities in America.
The economy is always booming in DC.
That picture on the bottom, of the people gawking at the picture with the Homeless guy on the corner, that picture encapsulates everything in San Francisco!
It’s no-longer Democrat Hypocrisy but a built in feature in the Party’s DNA. It’s also why they hate MAGA so much.
At every atom element of MAGA is about caring for the country, for the American people OF EVERY COLOR AND CREED! The Democrat creed has been about enslaving people.
There is a diesel fuel shortage in the east, and it’s going to get worse in the northeast, as they ship refined products to Europe to make up for lost Russian fuel.
The ban on shipping fuel from the USA was lifted when President Trump was in office and we were energy independent.
It’s the BHO 2009-2017 program to tank the country on steroids. Now they use the ability to export the fuel as a way to hurt the country.
Not a peep about ending the war, including from their boy scout Jimmy Carter.
These people are not clueless. They are evil!
Shame that trucks delivering food to the DC area will need to fuel up to get there and to leave. When diesel is rationed around DC, maybe just maybe our privileged class will feel some effects.
Repeal the 19th Amendment.
Just saying.
when a liar commits a lie that advances their station, raises their stock MORE LIES ARE REQUIRED.
like potato chips..you can’t just eat one.
there is no disconnect. The corruptors in DC (and at state) are fully aware of the effects of their agenda. It was THE PLAN.
the great reset. You see in order to demoralize and paralyze a citizenry, you must establish power. You can accomplish this in two general ways:
the corruptors have chosen NOW to perform BOTH.
they crushed the economy (this concentrates power and removes the energy from the people..ALL PEOPLE)
they create a boogeman, their favorite…Putin.
now the left democrats who voted, are having questions. And it’s MORE THAN JUST SIMPLE VOTERS REGRET.
You see, there is this sense that their votes may not even have been counted. The skepticism literally hangs in the air.
Many people hold this skepticism.
It’s a gut intuition based on time worn experience:
how does a basement dwelling navel gazing ambulatory moron get MORE votes than hillary and obummer. Who on his best day, could not get more than 500 people in a group rally? How does a complete dufus, who is a racist piece of shit, having never accomplished anything of meaning in his 36 years “career”, with all the evidence of being one of biggest crooks, with his jackass son go from a three time failed to launch run at presidency, to the number one slot and then win both popular and electoral votes against the man who against all odds with a proven 4 year record of absolutely record setting domestic and foreign economic policies, win?
people are not longer having voters regret. The ocean has changed. Not just the tide. The entire gulf stream has reversed.
People are wondering OUT LOUD: I don’t my vote counted. I believe fraud happened and a conspiracy happened to install a puppet.
A record breaking disaster of policies one after the other has broken the economy..and not just the US, but global.
People are having questions. lots of questions. Very specific questions.
the pandemic could not have done all of this.
the war in ukraine could not have done all of this.
and even IF those two factors are contributing, they CAN SEE WITH THEIR OWN EYES:
this administration has done NOTHING….literally NOTHING to solve the economic collapse.
we are at stage 3…awareness. More will join in dissent against a corrupt central state.
the people are not stupid. They are very much aware that all is not well. They look to the powers in DC and at the state level and ask simple questions:
why isn’t this administration focusing on economic recovery?
why is this administration spending more money on a war that is not winnable, and not at home?
why is this administration determined to afford more attention and money toward illegal cross tie walkers and not citizens?
why is this administration so focused on killing little human beings in the womb?
reminder: even left democrat voters value these things. In large part this is a true reality.
the awareness continues. More ARE joining in dissent against a corrupt central state.
we are but a whisper away from stage 4, transfer of power.
how does that happen?
what are the patterns that are dependable to understand how stage 3 develops to stage 4.
a. voting shift (2022 and 2024 specifically, and including key state votes)
b. wide spread demonstrations, civil unrest, violence, and civil disobedience
c. major changes to how people get their information. transferring from “main stream maniacs” to dependable fact based “alternative news”
d. major businesses adopting different campaign spending strategies to protect their bottom line
e. left radical democratic “officials” walking back on key policies that are untenable.
f. inflation….unbearable pain.
people are beginning to understand there is no true representation and no solutions being provided to the ills of this failed administration.
the old guard is going to be displaced. And it really is a very OLD guard indeed. Old money, old ideas, old graft, old cabals.
it has run its course. It has worn out its value even among big donors.
Even the most dishonest companies and executives, commercial banks, hedge funds, NGO’s understand that a good working growth in the economy at mainstreet is the backbone that matters the most.
The democrats are going to get slaughtered.
The democrats are going to get slaughtered.
While the thought is certainly appealing, I’m afraid that is not how it works once Marxists take over. Though their “slaughter” is a necessary goal, it won’t happen by the usual means.
Wake up dumbasses! Bacon ain’t by the pound any more than coffee is! It’s a $10 TWELVE OUNCE PACKAGE!!!
… and coffee comes in 7-oz foil packages (with the little breather port where you can squeeze the bag and get a sniff of the contents)
well – good coffee, that is
maybe you can still get those big 3-lb cans like the one they got at Ralphs to scatter Donnie’s ashes in The Big Lebowsi
but I don’t drink that kind
The Democrats in control of the House are so tone deaf to the people that the next pressing issue to be examined in committee is ….no, not any of the issues that we the people care about like inflation or supply chain implosion or scarcity of critical items like food and gasoline and open borders and every other disaster orchestrated by the JoeBama regime…..it is UFOs.
TEWS Pilot, the congressional meeting about UFOs next week is being pushed by the same liars who pushed the “Russia, Russia, Russia!” lie against President Trump, the ‘Covid 19’ scamdemic, and many other things. Like those things, it will be a lie, designed to terrorize people into concentrating on the lie, not on what is actually going on around them (the globalists ruining and controlling their lives.)
I am willing to bet they will say the UFOs are from “Russia, Russia, Russia!”, or extraterrestrials preparing to invade the Earth. The idea is to panic people in order to take their attention away from the actions of the globalist NWO.
They will never mention that there are cave paintings and petroglyphs from ancient civilizations, some over 10,000 years old (no “Russia, Russia, Russia!” back then), which show both UFOs and extraterrestrials (if they were here to invade the Earth, would it have been easier for them then or now? Ha!)
Wright bacon is the best bacon on the market. Stocked up on it late last fall at $4.50/lb. Running low now, not sure if we’ll make it….($8/lb. now).
I think the real disconnect lies in the wages payed to members of Congress. They are payed too much for too little results, representing any of their districts.
Since 2009, members of the U.S. House of Representatives have received a salary of $174,000 each year
The speaker of the House, in this case Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., earns $223,500. The House majority and minority leaders — Steny Hoyer, D-Md., and Kevin McCarthy, D-Calif., earn $193,400.
Representatives also receive other benefits, including health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. Most receive their retirement plan through the Federal Employees’ Retirement System. Members are only eligible to collect a pension at the age of 62 if they have served for five years or longer.
Representatives also have an allowance that covers things like office expenses, staff, mail and district office rental. In 2016, each member received an average of $1.26 million. They can use the money to employ up to 18 full-time, permanent employees.
Members of the U.S. Senate receive $174,000 per year in salary, as well, plus expenses.
Once voted into office, their big donor priorities come first.
$174,000 + expenses per year is way too much!
She didn’t put the package back.
