Taitorapist Trump does that because he knows he is the least respected president ever. The very first thing everybody thinks about Trump wearing is diapers.

They generally don’t pay presidents directly at all. They pay the DNC and the PACs.
And yet candidates raise way more money than "The DNC". The Harris campaign was giving money to the DNC, not the other way around.
And no - they didn’t pay for tax increases.
And tax increases are what they got from Dem congressmen and presidents. Even though tax cuts are their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd top priorities. Sounds like billionaires are getting a way bigger return on their investment giving money to the GOP.
[In the richest country in the history of the world we must establish that:
Healthcare is a human right and must be available to all regardless of income.
Every worker in America is entitled to earn a decent income. We must raise the minimum wage to a living wage and make it easier for workers to join unions.
We must have the best public educational system in the world, from childcare to vocational training, to graduate school – available to all.
We must address the housing crisis and build the millions of units of low-income and affordable housing that we desperately need.
We must create millions of good paying jobs as we lead the world in combating the existential threat of climate change.
We must abolish all forms of bigotry.]
[We’ve seen President Barack Obama with all his rhetorical powers hector young Black men, but not aim his electric cadence at Musk and his Palo Alto brownshirts.]
This is not really fair. We've seen Obama deliver some excellent speeches against the GOP at national conventions. But Obama is retired and not an active politician any more. You could criticize Obama for laziness, but there is nothing nefarious here. And there is also the problem that the media likes to bury any good stories about Dems so we don't even know how much coverage he would get.
But don't get me wrong, overall this article is pretty good.
[“Where are the damn cojones in the Democratic Party?”]
It is learned helplessness. These politicians grew up in the aftermath of Reagan and they are afraid of what Republicans will say. What needs to happen is that the older generation needs to be replaced by a younger generation of leaders. It is becoming more and more obvious that this is becoming an urgent thing. They also need to abandon their idiotic fixation on identity politics and focus on the major crisis of wealth inequality and related issues.
the oligarchs pay them to not fight.
Did the oligarchs pay the last 3 Dem presidents to raise taxes on billionaires and/or corporations?
[In theory, DOGE exists to promote efficiency]
We all know that's just an Orwellian name where you call something the exact opposite of reality. A truthful name would be to call it the Department of Government Enshtification. It's real mission is to enshitify everything. For some reason Traitorapist Trump loves to enshitify everything he touches. He has some sort of personal fetish for destroying everything that made America great. Musk also.
Bernie Sanders is a national treasure. Imagine how great it would be if we had 1000 Bernie Sanders.
“most successful country” American exceptionalism at its best :)
"most successful country" is a simple fact, not an opinion. You can call it exceptional if you want. Its not the word I used.
Its imperialism. America dominates the world not because of the first amendment or the electoral college, but because of a willingness and ability to backup its economic interests with its military. Without having to fear an invasion.
That only started a month ago with Resident Trump in the white house. America was very isolationist for most of its history up to WWII when we had to bail out Europe (2nd time) and Asia. And they we had to stay at our own expense to bail out Europe a 3rd time in the cold war.
He doesn't even talk like an American so why is Musk running the country? Go back to South Africa you freak.
They are members of the Democratic Party.
Not relevant. I'm a "member" of the Dem party and I had nothing to do with this.
The DNC is the leadership of the Democratic Party.
Dem senators and congressmen are government employees who have a completely different leadership of completely different organizations: The House Democratic Caucus and the Senate Democratic Caucus. The "DNC" is head of a private organization that effectively does little more than run primary campaigns. None of the Dem congressmen, senators, or presidential candidates work for "the DNC". None of them think that "the DNC" is their "leader". Unless it is primary campaign season, none of them have any reason to listen to "the DNC".
I am dissatisfied with the DNC’s handling of the party.
All they do is run the primaries so that Dems can choose their candidates. If you are "dissastisfied", then maybe send them your suggested changes to the rules. But that has zero to do with the leadership of the House Democratic Caucus which is what this article is about.
These Democrats in the article doing as they please and, as you said, don’t care about what the DNC thinks is the exact symptom of the exact problem I’m talking about.
The House Democratic Caucus is right to not care at all what "the DNC" thinks about anything. They are an organiation of government employees and the DNC is a private organization. And we are right to criticize the leadership of the House Democratic Caucus for their bad leadership.
Are you familiar with the phrase it starts at the top?
Unless there is a Dem president, there is no "top". Only a tiny minority of members of the House Democratic Caucus are also members of the DNC.
Nobody cares what Republican and Fox News host James Carville thinks. Carville is an ass.
