Democrats Are Milking Things for Every Last Drop

Remember when the “Seditious Six” made their little video whining about “illegal orders,” hoping to cause chaos in the military to harm President Donald Trump? Those boobs never did cite a single instance of an illegal order, weaseling their way through interviews asking basic questions about why they did what they did because they did it for the express purpose of harming the country.

Since Democrats are not like normal Americans, their donors swallowed the bait these six idiots put on the hook. The media tried to make them stars beyond their base, but that didn’t work – you have to already hate the country to embrace people who hate the country.

When their actions flopped, these six fools retreated to the one place Democrats can always count on to comfort them in their time of need: the dumb party members who give their money to grifting politicians.

Mark Kelly – Arizona Senator, former astronaut and fighter pilot, who has such questionable personal behavior that Kamala Harris passed over him for Tim freakin’ Walz as a running mate – has literally done nothing but fundraise since they released that video. Granted, Kelly hadn’t done anything as a Senator either, mostly just being elected out of sympathy for his wife (a wife, reports about his relationship with whom were allegedly a big part of the reason he wasn’t picked by Harris) and he’s been hiding behind her ever since.

The other five have really gotten into the game lately, too.

They initially tried to fight back and claim some sort of high road with the video, but none of them came off looking smart or even good. They’ve now followed Kelly into the security blanket of the credit card balances of their fellow Democrats.

The latest is formerly Pudgy Michigan Senator and formerly CIA employee, and current Ozempic user, Elissa Slotkin. She was never in the military, only a pencil-pusher not physically fit enough for much more. Still, she decided she should use being military-adjacent to join in the sedition.

Actually, that these traitors had to lower the bar of membership in their little gang of sedition to include Slotkin just so they could make it to a whole six members should’ve told all of them that they were barking up the wrong tree, but we’re not dealing with bright people here. It’s enough to make you wonder what they had convinced themselves would be the outcome of their video in their heads, doesn’t it?

Slotkin, having saved money on food (I’m assuming their health insurance in the Senate covers the fat shots she’s taking), has decided to use some of that money to beef up (or maybe tofu up) her fundraising. Democrats love nothing more than victimhood, which makes you wonder who would follow people who aspire to failure?

Slotkin sent out a martyr post, er, fundraising email reading, “Several weeks ago, myself and five other Members of Congress with service and veteran backgrounds made a video directly quoting the Uniform Code of Military Justice about the military’s responsibility to reject illegal orders. In response, President Trump called for my arrest, trial and death by hanging. Last week I learned that former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, asked to interview me.”

I like the “service and veteran backgrounds.” There are a couple of hundred Democrats in Congress and they could only find six to join their gang, but only after they lowered the bar to include Elissa.

She continues, “As a former CIA officer, I've seen democracies flicker out. I’ve seen what life is like when a government is rigged. I’ve studied this kind of political authoritarianism in other countries where you can't criticize the guys in charge without getting a knock at the door in the middle of the night. It’s hard to believe I am talking about it in my own country, and the knock is happening on my door.”

Ooh, she’s “studied” stuff. Good for her. Did she study how, if we were the country she’s trying to con Democrats into thinking we are, that she would either be in prison or dead, not lying to get money out of suckers? No, I suspect she didn’t study that, only the manipulation of dumb people part.

My favorite part is where she writes, “I've always tried to be straight with you in these emails…” She’s “always tried”? That implies that she doesn’t just do it, she simply tries.

Things like that always crack me up – do these people not have anyone on staff to tell them what they write is stupid, or do they have such contempt for their followers that they simply don’t care how insulting they are to them?

I don’t care what the answer is, I just wanted to point out that we’re months after this thing and not a single member of the Seditious Six has done anything else worthy of noting to their base to try to raise campaign funds that they keep returning to this. They’re going to milk this cow till it’s dry. Sadly, as dimwitted as Democrat voters are, there’s a decent chance that cow won’t go dry for a long, long time.
