It’s not a pretty smell. I’m not talking about the natural reek of a liberal – that blending of body odor, disappointment and Axe body spray trying to cover it all – this is desperation, a different level of pathetic. While not unique to the left, the depth to which the smell has permeated their core is quite something. The emergence of Donald Trump on the national stage set a record for the number of people it broke at once, and his reemergence appears to have finished them off, both their decency and humanity. All that is left is a group of broken people.

Money is the lifeblood of politics, sadly, and Democrats exist in two different worlds – one where they are the plaything of the ultra-rich leftist activists who view the rest of the world as their toys or subjects, and the other where they pretend to care about the middle class.

While the money flows from the super-rich, it is used more to finance the wealthy lifestyles of pundits, incumbents and the “intellectuals” of the think tank and non-profit worlds. Yes, they’re that parasitic.

The people who run campaigns rake in some of that billionaire cash, but the lower-level donations are their juice, and they will do anything to get it, no matter how sleazy or unethical.

With sleazy and unethical comes, well, anything. And anything, especially for a dollar, is what Democrats do best. Add to that a few dashes of desperation and you have a party that is even willing to use the name of Joe Biden for cash.

You’d think the former President’s name would be mud in the fundraising game, considering how awful he was and how he left the national stage, but you’d be wrong. A farmer will milk any cow, no matter how old and decrepit, if all the other cows are running dry.

In an email from “Joe Biden Announcment,” the Democrats wrote, “WOW, this is incredible! After President Biden called on us to come together and stand up to the MAGA Billionaires trying to buy our democracy, Democrats nationwide organized to fight back! Now political experts shifted a STUNNING 18 races in Democrats' favor!! This is our chance to flip control of the House and put power back in the hands of working people and families — but ONLY if we act quickly to capitalize on this momentum. So please: Will you rush $3 to the DCCC to answer President Biden's call and help flip the House blue?”

What was the “announcement”? A picture of Biden with the words, “An oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that really threatens our entire democracy.”

The quote is from January of 2025, just four days before Joe left office, when he was in the midst of a panicked temper tantrum on his way out the door. Not the most inspirational time for a senile old fart.

At the same time, the DNC was also begging for money by claiming they needed a big number in March to show strength in November. How that circle gets squared is a mystery.

They write, “Our first end-of-quarter fundraising deadline this year is coming up at the end of the month — our most important deadline since the 2024 election. Once it passes, we’ll be required to report what we’ve raised over the last few months. Here’s the truth: Everyone will be looking at that number to gauge whether Democrats are on track to win or lose in November. If we submit a report with lots of donations, we’ll be sending a clear message to Trump and his allies across the country that the American people are against their disastrous agenda, and they’re prepared to take back the House and the Senate in November. That’s why this deadline matters so much.”

The more people they sucker out of a few bucks, the more Republicans will be scared! Are you scared yet? Does it not scare you that a bunch of people who don’t know any better than to think Democrats are looking out for them are happy to have them add a little more debt to their high-interest credit cards? What’s a little more debt in a world of living paycheck to paycheck?

Yes, Democrats are that desperate and that evil. And worst of all, this desperate manipulation actually works on some people.
