Democrats Speak Out

Democrats are speaking out, but we aren’t hearing them because the major mass media has taken as its collective project to push Trump because they believe he will plump up their bottom line. In service to that stories relating what Democrats are doing, or stories negative on Trump are nearly non-existent.

However, here we have congress member Rosa DeLauro from Connecticut ripping into OMB Direct Russell Vought. At the end DeLauro explains to Vought what he and the administration are really doing. Too bad everybody in America won’t see this video:


Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) told Vought: “Be honest, this is never about government efficiency. In fact, an efficient government, a government that capably serves the American people and proves good government is achievable is what you fear the most. You want a government so broken, so dysfunctional, so starved of resources, so full of incompetent political lackeys and bereft of experts and professionals that its departments and agencies cannot feasibly achieve the goals and the missions to which they are lawfully directed. Your goal is privatization, for the biggest companies to have unchecked power, for an economy that does not work for the middle class, for working and vulnerable families. You want the American people to have no one to turn to, but to the billionaires and the corporations this administration has put in charge. Waste, fraud, and abuse are not the targets of this administration. They are your primary objectives.”


Yep, Democrats are speaking out, but the media is suppressing their speech. It is like the tree falling in the forest question. Does a tree falling in the forest make a sound if no one is there to hear it? Does a Democrat make a difference if no major news media is there to report it. The major news media was all over Jake Tapper about his load of horse crap. Thus he made a noise.

Democrats are already stepping up early and as loudly as they can. They will be hard to ignore. Already this week in a special election in deep red South Carolina a Democrat won a state legislative seat by an incredible 41%. People are really hungry for someone who will listen to them and act FOR them. The Joni Ernsts of the world are person non grata these days.
