Tis the season to be jolly…but I’ve never been one to give a damn about what season it is. I’ll wear shorts in winter if the mood hits me, and white after Labor Day because tradition dictates otherwise. So, when Christmas comes around, I don’t let that stop me from getting completely disgusted and pissed off by just how horrible Democrats are as human beings.

I know, I apologize to human beings for lumping Democrats in with us, but this is a family show, so the words I’d like to use will have to remain in your imagination – just take whatever the worst thing you can think of is, double, and they’re about a tenth of the way there. 

It is unproductive to hate your opponents, your enemies, but does everything have to be productive? I don’t think so. And even if I did, I’m willing to violate that rule anyway because the scum of the Earth needs to be called the scum of the Earth sometimes.

When the disgraced continuing resolution was pulled Thursday night, Democrats immediately cried foul. Weirdo Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) whined about a “deal” that was stuck between the two parties' leadership falling apart, crying that Republicans had backed out. But Republicans had never walked in. 

The bill was 1500 pages, there’s no way DeLauro and her purple hair had read it in the few hours it had been out, so why was she so upset that it wasn’t going to pass? She didn’t even try to make a case FOR the bill, the 81-year-old mutant was told to vote for it and she was ready to. (Honestly, what was the alternative to electing a woman who dressed like she was violently thrown through the cat lady section of a craft store and just kept on whatever stuck to her unshowered grossness and old shoe suck in dog dirt? That’s the closest I can come to a circumstance under which voting for her might be worth a coin toss.)

Republicans don’t obey; we are not the Borg. It’s as annoying as hell sometimes, but it beats the hell out of the alternative.

When the bill blew up, Democrats found a new lie to clamp their jaws on: childhood cancer.

There’s a special place in hell for people like Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz, the only Senator whose last name is the past tense of the type of person he is (still, the most accurately named man in the Senate is Dick Drubin), and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts via a mythical Indian reservation controlled by the rich white lady tribe. Both of these sub-humans publicly claimed Republicans had denied funding to fight childhood cancer by rejecting that bill. Schatz tweeted, “F*ck cancer. Especially pediatric cancer. These people want to punish these precious little kids to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest corporations in human history,” and Warren said Republicans decided “let's get rid of funding for research on pediatric cancer….so that we can make way for tax cuts for billionaires. That is Elon Musk's notion of efficiency.”

Nothing of the sort is true – the funding for pediatric cancer passed the House back in March and was in limbo in the Democrat-controlled Senate ever since. They finally, and quickly, passed it Friday night because they’d been called out for lying, but imagine being a parent with a child fighting cancer and Democrats come along and try to weaponize your misery for their political gain. How do you resist the urge to not at least verbally attack them for being the scum they are?

It was weird how so much of the left started using this kids and cancer talking point. Tommy Vietor, the form National Security Council douchebag who whine that the Americans murdered in Benghazi didn’t really matter because, “Dude, that was like two years ago,” tweeted out that the bill was loaded with anti-cancer money.  Sam Stein of MSNBC and Bill Kristol’s “Bulwark” picked up where Tommy left off, adding, “The Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research program was a MASSIVE priority for Eric Cantor. And it was a huge bipartisan achievement in the Obama years. the version under consideration now would allot $190m to fund the program through 2033. That money could very well be gone after yesterday. The consequences of blowing things up aren't always readily apparent.”

Naturally, with the lack of original thought in the hive mind, brainless drone after brainless drone began spreading the lie (remember when disinformation was bad?) MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow with more estrogen, Chris Hayes, chimed in with, “The world’s richest man took $190 million away from kids with cancer.”

Again, how a parent these people are exploiting and manipulating doesn’t just lay one of these clowns out escapes me. 

Stein even responded to someone who asked why this money wasn’t part of a stand-alone bill by saying, “Hi. The bill funds pediatric cancer research and authorizes combination studies. Its origins are bipartisan. It was signed into law as a stand-alone in '12. I covered it. Yes, they could do it again, but it's also not uncommon to pass these things in CRs.”

But Sam no longer follows the news; neither does anyone on the left. Or they’re lying. It’s a hell of a position to be in – ignorant or liar – but there’s such a fine line between the two that it doesn’t really matter. (It’s usually both.)

People started pointing out that the House had passed a stand-alone bill already and it was Democrats who killed it in the Senate, so they revived it and passed it Friday night. Stein then tweeted, “NEW-- Tonight, the senate passed via a rare unanimous consent vote, legislation to extend the Gabriella Miller Act (they passed the House version which is five years at 12.6 million a year) to fund pediatric cancer research. It will now head to Biden's desk and become law.   Aides assumed this was dead as of a few hours ago.”

It was a Festivus miracle! 

Curiously, Stein never acknowledged his role in the lie, as none of them did, he simply smugly repeated it until the Democrats finally acted.

Elizabeth Warren and Brian Schatz, neither of whom had ever made any sort of public statement to pressure Chuck Schumer to bring the cancer funding bill up for a vote in the months and months the Senate had it, have said nothing about its passage because they don’t care. 

It was a prop, period. The kids with cancer were props, period. There’s a special place in hell for people who would exploit kids with cancer for their own political gain. And you can tell it was a political play by how not a single Democrat in either the House or Senate criticized anyone on their side for lying, not one.

The only reason Democrats in the House put something that had already passed and had been sitting the Senate for the better part of a year into a bill to keep the government running is so it could be picked out and used as a weapon when Republicans objected to the $150 billion in new pork Democrats larded into the bill. Democrats are evil, not stupid. 

So, yeah, they can all go straight to hell. Merry Christmas.
