Doubts In The Donor Class

By mike flugennockSaturday - July 6th, 2024Categories: 2024 Election, Bidenism, Party Animals, elections, media

Ever since the last “debate”, I and millions like me are walkin’ on sunshine because finally, at long last, the mask is finally off. After that classic episode of Must-Not-Unsee TV, there’s no getting around the fact that our ruling class is entirely incompetent, that democracy and the “rules-based order” are s sham, and that Amerika and the West have fallen and can’t get up.

MSNBC, CNN and the New York Times are boiling with Liberal panic and denial right now — panic and denial so thick you can smell it through the TV set — and I can’t pretend I’m not enjoying it. Joe Scarborough was priceless; dude was shouting — like, really yelling — about how insanely awesome Joe Biden is, how he could leap tall buildings and has x-ray vision and rescued the economy and is the only thing standing between us and fascism, yelling so loudly that you could hear the echo in the studio; absolutely hilarious. You could almost see the little wisps of cartoon steam coming out of his ears.

In the “weighing how to respond” department, I hear that most rich-ass DNC donors have been upping their day-drinking game when lacking the cajones for suicide.

The Teeth of Biden (Make Sure The Kids Hear Words)

By mike flugennockSunday - September 15th, 2019Categories: 2020 Election, Party Animals, elections, media

The Biden Train kept a-rollin’, all night long. As DNC frontrunner (cough) Sen. Joe Biden was defending the rank-ass “legacy” of his ex-boss and forgetting what he was saying halfway through his answers on the “debate” stage this week, the featured body part malfunction was the Senator’s dentures, which slipped out on the air at the worst possible moment — which is to say, pretty much every moment, from all accounts.

The Eye of Biden

By mike flugennockFriday - September 6th, 2019Categories: 2020 Election, Party Animals, elections, environment, media

At Wednesday night’s Democratic Party Climate Debate candidate Joe Biden, while outlining his climate policy and declaring his opposition to a fracking ban, suffered a subconjunctival hemorrhage in his left eye, causing it to fill up with blood. More than a few folks on Twitter considered this a sign, given the former VP’s coziness with the fossil fuel industry.

Middle Class First

By mike flugennockSaturday - October 6th, 2012Categories: Economy, Obamarama, Party Animals, elections, media

“We do best when the middle class is doing well.”
–Barack Obama, Presidential Debate 10.03.2012

So, I’m seeing a lot of footage of Obama rallies on TV lately showing us lots of raving Dembots waving signs reading “Middle Class First”.

Now, on the surface, this sounds really nice and progressive populist and all, until you stop and think of how Obama bailed out the banks and Wall Street and left the foreclosed and unemployed hanging out to dry, and when you think about how the Presidential candidates of both wings of the Party pandered to the middle class while totally ignoring the working class and the poor. In fact, at my count, at last Wednesday night’s “debate”, I heard the phrase “middle class” spoken at least fifteen times in the first half hour — until I had to stop watching because my eyes were glazing and my brain was dribbling out of my ears.

To be honest, I’m actually becoming really annoyed at the amount of fawning and gushing and pandering directed at the Middle Class™ by politicians at the media, even as they display indifference — or, in some cases, flat-out hostility — towards the working class, the poor, and the formerly middle-class who’ve fallen into poverty owing to extended unemployment or foreclosure.

Let’s also not forget that generally, the Middle Class™ is where all the narrow-mindedness, conformity, materialism and selfishness live.They consume the most resources and complain the most about taxes while demanding the best of everything — roads, schools, public services — while joining in the villification of the poor and identifying with the rich, even as the rich continue to screw them royally.

So, perhaps a more accurate slogan for the Obama campaign might be “Middle Class First, And Throw The Poor A Bone If There’s Any Left”.
