That beautifully encapsulates a line said by Kamala Harris at a rally during her campaign, to explain both
(1) why she lost,
and
(2) why her at least $1.4 billion record campaign treasury was wastefully hosed away, and ended up $20 million in debt.

159 DEMOCRATS OPPOSE THE "LAKEN RILEY ACT" LEGISLATION TO DEPORT CRIMINAL SEX OFFENDER ILLEGALS. DEMOCRATS OVERWHELMINGLY SIDE WITH SEX OFFENDERS AGAINST CITIZENS

• The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed the Laken Riley Act, legislation requiring federal immigration authorities to detain illegal migrants committing theft-related crimes in the United States. The bill, named in memory of Laken Riley, a University of Georgia student murdered by an illegal immigrant, passed 264-159, with every Republican and 48 Democrats voting in favor.
  
  [ all 159 who voted against the bill listed ]
  
  The act also allows states to sue the Department of Homeland Security for damages caused by illegal immigration. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson strongly criticized the 159 Democrats who voted against the bill, stating in a statement, “It is hard to believe after countless horrific stories like Laken’s, ANY House Democrats would vote against deporting illegal aliens who commit violent crimes against American citizens.”
  
  Riley’s killer, Venezuelan national Jose Antonio Ibarra, was convicted in November for her murder. Prior to the incident, Ibarra had been arrested for shoplifting but was released as [under the law at ha time] the charge was considered a misdemeanor.
  
  The act’s passage signifies a major Republican effort to prioritize immigration enforcement under the newly convened Congress. Speaker Johnson noted the broader message from voters in recent elections, emphasizing demands for secure borders and strict deportation policies.
  
  Georgia Republican Rep. Mike Collins, who sponsored the bill, highlighted its necessity during House floor debates, stating, “Right now, ICE is unable to detain and deport these illegal criminals who commit these minor-level crimes, but the Laken Riley Act will fix this.”
  
  Riley’s family has been vocal in their support of the legislation, describing it as a measure that could prevent future tragedies. “The Laken Riley Act has our full support because it would help save innocent lives and prevent more families from going through the kind of heartbreak we’ve experienced,” said her mother and stepfather, Allyson and John Phillips.
  
  While the bill received bipartisan support, opposition came largely from House Democrats, including Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, who argued the legislation risks detaining migrants wrongfully accused of crimes. “This is a radical departure from current law, which since 1996 has generally required mandatory detention only for persons who are criminally convicted or who admit to having committed certain serious crimes,” Raskin said during the debate.
  
  The act now moves to the Senate, where Republican Sen. Katie Britt introduced a companion bill supported by all Senate Republicans and Democratic Sen. John Fetterman. A Senate vote could happen as early as Friday.

159 ultra-woke Democrat-Bolsheviks, who desperately want to be primaried out in the next election.

The people you are in Washington to represent and protect are taxpaying U.S. citizens and their children, NOT the illegal immigrant parasite criminals you have chosen to side with over your constituents.
Thank you for showing your true ideology and loyalties. These will make perfect campaign ads in 18 months, to remove all 159 of you.

Proving you haven't learned a damned thing since the Nov 2024 election.
Quadrupling down on stupid.

DEMOCRATS WHO SUPPORTED THE 'LAKEN RILEY ACT' BILL

• Seven House Democrats flipped their votes to “yes” on a GOP-led bill named after the slain Georgia student Laken Riley that would require detention of migrants arrested for theft.
  
  The Laken Riley Act became the first House bill passed this year, clearing the lower chamber in a 264-159 vote, with 48 Democrats joining all Republicans in support.
  
  The legislation was originally passed in the House by Republicans and 37 Democrats in March [2024], but failed to pass the Democratic-led Senate.
  
  Democrat House Representatives....
  1. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.),
  2. Val Hoyle (D-Ore.),
  3. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.),
  4. Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.),
  5. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) and
  6. Terri Sewell (D-Ala.)
  ... voted “yes” on Tuesday after voting “no” in March.
  
  7. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) previously did not vote on the matter but voted “yes” on Tuesday.
  
  Eleven new Democratic votes [for the Laken Riley bill] came from freshmen legislators, while four who voted in favor of the bill in March are no longer in the House: Colin Allred (D-Texas), Yadira Caraveo (D-Colo.), Matt Cartwright (D-Pa.) and Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), who was sworn into the Senate last week.
  
  Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) originally voted yes on the legislation but on Tuesday he did not vote.

Rachel Maddow blasts MSNBC for axin...treatment of staffers in stunning rebuke

• Rachel Maddow offered a stunning rebuke to MSNBC over its decision to pull her colleague Joy Reid from its programming and how it is treating staffers who potentially face layoffs.
  
  Maddow took a moment on Monday night to address the "changes" being announced at MSNBC, reminding her viewers that "The Rachel Maddow Show" will revert to only Mondays at the conclusion of President Trump's first 100 days in office, but not all of her primetime colleagues will remain a result of programming overhaul.
  
  She specifically called the cancelation of "The ReidOut" in the 7 p.m. ET timeslot and Reid's exit from the network "very, very, very hard to take."
  
  "I am 51 years old. I have been gainfully employed since I was 12. And I have had so many different kinds of jobs, you wouldn't believe me if I told you. But in all of the jobs I have had, in all of the years I have been alive, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid," Maddow said.
  
  "I love everything about her. I have learned so much from her. I have so much more to learn from her," she continued. "I do not want to lose her as a colleague here at MSNBC, and personally, I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door. It is not my call, and I understand that, but that's what I think."
  
  
  JOY REID WARNS MSNBC VIEWERS FASCISM IS ‘ALREADY HERE’ IN HER FINAL SHOW AT LIBERAL NETWORK
  
  Maddow went on to call it "unnerving" for the network to cancel the shows of "two non-White hosts" in its weekday programming as well as "The Katie Phang Show" on the weekends, noting that "The Alex Wagner Show" will no longer fill in Maddow's 9 p.m. ET timeslot for the remainder of the week, which is instead going to "Inside with Jen Psaki."
  
  "And that feels worse than bad, no matter who replaces them," Maddow said. "That feels indefensible, and I do not defend it."
  
  While Maddow noted that Wagner will remain with the network as a political analyst, she did not mention that Reid's timeslot is being filled by Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez, two of whom are Black and one is Latina, all currently co-host a weekend program together. Phang, too, is also remaining with the network as a legal correspondent.
  
  
  LESTER HOLT STEPPING DOWN FROM ‘NBC NIGHTLY NEWS’
  
  
  Very few at MSNBC have the job security of Maddow, who allegedly negotiated a whopping $25 million salary last year. But she went to bat for network staffers who she said were "really being put through the wringer."
  
  "Dozens of producers and staffers, including some who are among the most experienced and most talented and most specialist producers in the building, are facing being laid off, they're being invited to reapply for new jobs," Maddow said.
  
  "That has never happened at this scale in this way before when it comes to programming changes, presumably because it's not the right way to treat people, and it's inefficient and it's unnecessary, and it kind of drops the bottom out of whether or not people feel like this is a good place to work and so we don't generally do things that way," she added.
  
  MSNBC AWARDS JEN PSAKI MORE AIRTIME...CHEL MADDOW WILL GO BACK TO MONDAYS ONLY
  
  "Maybe all of our folks, including most of the people who are getting this very show on the air right now, maybe they will all get new jobs here, and I hope they do, but in the meantime, being put in this kind of limbo, the anxiety and the discombobulation is off the charts at a time when this job already is extra stressful and difficult," Maddow continued.
  
  "It is not news for me to tell you that the press and freedom of the press are under attack in a way that is really – it's a big deal for our country. It's very visceral for us here. I know that the business of the press is not an easy thing, and I know that no job is forever, but I think I'm safe in saying for all of us anchors who you know through the TV, please know that what pains us the most is not what happens to us. It is what happens to our coworkers on whom we depend, and who you don't necessarily know, but we respect and love them, and depend on them, and did I mention we respect them?"
  
  "This is a difficult time in the news business, but it does not need to be this difficult… Finding good people, good colleagues, doing good work with them and then having their back. That we can do a lot better on. A lot better," Maddow added.
  
  
  
  
  Maddow, perhaps emboldened by the fact her viewership trounces her MSNBC colleagues, has a history of taking defiant stances against her own employer. Last year, Maddow offered the most scathing response to NBC's decision to hire former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, which was quickly reversed following the chorus of on-air backlash.
  
  She also took NBC to task in 2019 over its cover-up of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and how it forced its own journalist at the time, Ronan Farrow, to publish his 2017 bombshell reporting with The New Yorker, even booking him on her program to discuss his story.
  
  
  
  MSNBC's future remains unclear as its parent company, NBCUniversal, is set to spin off the network and a slew of other sister channels to be its own standalone entity later this year. Meanwhile, its ratings have been in sharp decline and its programming has undergone drastic changes without juicing viewership.

Man, I love it !

The Democra/Left are the most vicious backstabbing people on the planet, and particularly those in the media, love to heap slanders on their political opposition in their very skewed "reporting".
So there's nothing more I love --LOVE-- than watching them unleash that viciousness on their own.

CNN and MSNBC have been in a death-spiral drop in ratings since the Nov 2024 election, because their viewership is fully aware now of how egregiously these networks have lied to them.

In the DNC party itself, and on these networks (and ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS) they continue to quadruple down on stupid, and hyperventilate about how Donald Trump is Hitler, and how this is the rise of fascism and doom (DESPITE that Trump already served 4 prosperous years and didn't do any of the crazy stuff these same neworks alleged back then, and are desperately and even more hysterically alleging now.



And y'know, that for all the fake stuff they allege about Trump, it was the DEMOCRATS under Obama and Biden who tried to silence and shut down free speech and fredom of the press, on Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax. Using federal power.

It was THE DEMOCRATS who arrested reporters, to the point that even a 40-year New York Times reporter in the White House Press Corps said Obama's presidency was "the most control-freak" lockdown repressive administration he'd ever dealt with. Spying on and going after White House staffers who spoke to the press like no admministraion before or since.

It was THE DEMOCRATS, not Trump, who for roughly the last 20 years have used their federal positions to go after Republican officials, and against thousands of grass-roots Republicans, weaponizing the IRS, the FBI and DOJ, ATF (under Trump, just merged days ago into FBI under just-confirmed Kash Patel, to instantly reign that agency in), in ATF (who probably will also be merged into FBI), in EPA (also reigned in, by just-appointed Lee Zeldin, already finding and shutting off $20 billion in corrupt slush-fund payouts, $2 billion of it earmarked for Democrat maniac Stacey Abrams, and $18 billion to other liberal progressive slush funds).
Among maany others.
6,000 fired almost instantly from the IRS.
2,000 employees almost instantly fired from USAID, thus ending the $50-billion-plus corruptly funnelled out of that agency to corrupt and anti-American causes.



And now these Democra/Leftist propaganda "news" networks are drying up from low ratings, and being forced to fire many of their chief slandering propagandists.
Jim Acosta, Joy Reid, Andrea Mitchell, Don Lemon, Alex Wagner, Lester Holt. The ones not outright fired and humiliated are getting out with some shred of dignity, quitting before their pending shove out the door.

But...

Joy Reid's replacement is three more foaming-at-the-mouth progressives.
No move to the center, no lesson learned, just the same leftist propaganda every night with a new face.

Likewise, even though NBC ia walling itself off from MSNBC, and MSNBC is hiring their own news reporters and correspondents, their executives are saying they will continue with he same hard-Left tilt in their coverage. No move toward objectivity that would pull in a larger audience.

THEY HAVE LEARNED NOTHING !
And so these replacement hosts will continue the same low ratings, and soon be ejected too, for the same failures and lack of credibility.

Joy Reid'ss show at the time of its cancellation was averaging 59,000 viewers a night. Incredible that she stayed on the air EVEN THIS long (I think her current show started in 2020) .
For all the incendiary whoppers and continual blowback she got, for all the embarassing proven lies and error she made, clearly it was MSNBC network ideology hat kept her on the air, because anyone else would have been fired long ago.
The same situaion as Don Lemon. Because she checked off all the Leftist/progressive, black, woman and gay boxes, they were AFRAID to fire her.

But comeuppance has finally come, and how sweet it is.

No long ago, she was gloating on the air about loving "white tears" and "especially white male tears".
And now here she is, crying like a baby .
Like the cry-bully she is.

No wine ever tasted so sweet.




Here's a 30-minute Joy Reid greatest-hits reel, showing just how unhinged, mean, and racist she is, and how much she gloaingly celebrated the grief of any white/conservative person legitimately wronged. Amid Reid's many other over-the-deep-end crazy rants. And she has the audacitty to ask for sympathy and play the victim now.
