Hey, this is Jimmy Door.
Who's this?
Hi, Jimmy.
This is your main Dami, Mitt Romney, Utah senator, former governor, devoted husband, and proud father to five boys, a Miff, Tiff, Riff, Biff, and alternate Biff.
Alternate Biff.
Yes, Jimmy.
Alternate Biff acts as stand-in for primary BIF on the rare occasions.
Primary BIF is not able to fulfill his BIF family duties, like boiling eggs and cutting away crust on softbreads and such.
I'm also a proud grandfather to no less than 25, but not more than 50, grandchildren who will probably spend the latter part of their lives in a complex maze of tunnels deep within a granite mountain.
That sounds nice.
Oh, yes, indeed it does.
But that's not why I called Jimmy.
Joe Biden needs to answer some serious questions.
His unwillingness to alter the Afghan withdrawal plan based on changing circumstances was a cause for serious concern.
What changing circumstances?
Constant losing.
But we've been doing that for 20 years.
Yes, but this time we could have done a little better.
What would you have done, Mitt?
Drawing upon everything I learned from my experience during the Vietnam War, I probably would have ridden around France in my 10-speed eating flaky butter pastries and getting seriously laid.
Aside from that, I mean.
Endlessly annoying people by talking about God.
No, no, Mitt, militarily.
Well, for one thing, we could have gotten more people out.
And by people, I mean the English-speaking elites who dress nice and know too much.
And what about the transport planes?
So much unitized seating space.
But the transport planes I saw were crammed with people.
Not on the roofs.
And the amount of military equipment the president left behind is unconscionable.
Including all those service dogs in their cages.
It's bad enough.
We lost the war to the Taliban.
But why give them the resources to strap their dogs to the roofs of their hum fees the next time they go on a summer vacation?
Any other gripes, Mick?
Oh, yes, Jimmy.
President Biden isn't doing enough to protect the remaining English-speaking people in a former colony.
We've been burning to the ground for 20 years.
It's almost as if every time we bomb a family, it comes seriously close to injuring nearby contractors.
I mean, it's simply unacceptable.
He's already pledged to hunt ISIS down and make them pay.
Oh, that's not enough.
After they're done paying, I would hunt them down a second time and make them pay again.
It's been proven that getting exploded two to three times within the same week can be an effective deterrent to reassembling your own body parts later.
Was airlifting 100,000 people enough?
No.
I advocate airlifting the entire country, including the soil and any remaining buildings.
Oh, sure, it'll take decades, but I'm confident we can fit everything into Texas, rename it Texanistan, and steal all their lithium.
Ta-da, Jimmy.
Alternate Biff just set fire to another church, and now we have to put him down.
Nicely done.
Establishment media sets on spiding.
So good luck.
Bullshit we can't afford, like fomenting this world.
Watch and see as the jet golf, the median speeds and jumps the medium and hits them head on.
It's the Chimitor Show.
*music*
So in Texas, they have an abortion rule that's going into effect right now after six weeks.
Can't get an abortion.
And of course, who are people blaming for that?
Well...
She's the one who said that Ruth Bader Ginsburg should not resign.
She didn't.
Then she died.
Trump replaced.
Okay.
Good work, everyone who voted for Trump or Jill Stein in 2016.
Again, again, it's all the voters somehow let the Democrats down, not the Democrats.
Good work, everyone who voted for Trump or Jill Stein in 2016 or didn't vote or undermine Clinton from the left because the Supreme Court doesn't really matter and it'll be fine.
Abortion vigilantes in Texas, thank you for your support.
Thanks a lot, literally everybody, except the person who lost.
It's all your fault.
We didn't deserve Hillary.
So it's not a corrupt corporate party that's been screwing workers since 1992, at least.
The Democratic Party been screwing workers hard.
They did NAFTA, exploded the prison population.
At the same time, they gutted welfare, deregulated Wall Street, which crashed our economy within 10 years.
Every goddamn shitlib is for the Iraq war.
Barack Obama, again, gave us a right-wing health care plan instead of a real one.
Kicked 5.1 million families.
Again, the problem wasn't Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and the Democrats.
The problem was people who didn't vote.
Oh, my God.
You think if the people who didn't vote, if they had so much power, don't you think you'd be nicer to them?
Don't you think the Democrats would try to persuade them into voting for them?
But they don't.
The only persuasion that the Democrats have is the other guy's worse than me.
And guess what that gets you?
That gets you Trump.
Boy, did it take it taken what an effort it took to elect a demented guy this time, a straight, flat-out demented guy.
That's how bad the Democratic Party is.
No, we're not going to give you somebody who you like.
We're going to give you this corporate tool who's an enemy of workers.
And for a kicker, he's demented, clinically demented.
That's her guy.
And it's your fault.
While that we are doing this is 2016 Jill Stein's fault discourse when Democrats, right now, Democrats control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.
Right now, they do that.
And they refuse to do what they need to do to prevent the Supreme Court from overturning Roe Versa.
The goddamn Democrats were fast-tracking Trump's judges.
They didn't fight one bit to get any of their Supreme Court judges appointed, and they didn't fight against any of the other ones.
What are you talking about, Jimmy?
Didn't they bring up a high school sexual assault of Kavanaugh?
Wasn't that fighting?
No, what would have been fighting was Barack Obama actually appointing people.
That would have been fighting.
But they didn't.
Barack Obama didn't appoint somebody because they wanted to use the Supreme Court as a cudgel to get you to vote for horrible Hillary Clinton, and it didn't work.
Democrats could, if they wanted to, they could expand the Supreme Court.
They could do away with the filibuster and pass abortion rights legislation.
But they don't want to.
That strikes me as a bigger problem than how some people voted five years ago.
Of course it does, Jack.
Of course, shit libs like Jill Philippic will never fucking get it.
And they'll keep voting for our oppressors and patting themselves on the back as if they did something.
It makes no sense to keep yelling that the 2016 election is responsible for all our woes as we watch Democrats have complete control of government and use the filibuster as an excuse to not pass the most vital legislation.
It's so weird that in the United States, nobody remembers what happened yesterday when it comes to the powerful, but they remember their powerless scapegoats for five fucking years.
And they're still blaming Ralph Nader, too, by the way.
So 20 years, forever.
They'd never remember how they got here, but they do remember the scapegoats that they can shit on.
The powerless.
And that's what they do.
They should have the power lists.
And by the way, dear everyone who said Ruth Bader Gingberg should retire, you were wrong.
That's the same Jill Thipovic.
So she didn't retire, and then she died, and Trump got to replace her.
So she was 100% wrong.
There were almost as many people who were non-voters in 2016 after voting for Obama in 2012 as there were those who swung from Obama to Trump.
Those non-voters were disproportionately lower income and people of color.
Instead of this constant blame game, maybe you should ask the people of color and who are low income, why didn't they vote?
They'll never do that because they don't want to know that answer.
They don't want to know why people don't vote for the Democrats anymore.
I'll tell you why, because the Democrats, on purpose, became the Republican Party, and the Republican Party became a batshit crazy party.
So now we have a Republican Party and a batshit, right-wing crazy party, and we're supposed to be motivated to go fucking vote for that.
People aren't.
I'm not voting for it.
I haven't voted for a Democrat since this last stupid time I voted for fucking Barack Obama.
Yeah.
Our analysis shows that while 9% of Obama 2012 voters went to Mr. Trump in 2016, 7%, that's more than 4 million missing voters, stayed home.
3% voted for a third party candidate.
So 4 million voters didn't show up to vote who voted in 2012 for Barack Obama.
And they're all bad people.
What?
You mean they're not poor, economically disadvantaged people who the system has shut out and probably don't even have health care and aren't going to get it because nobody's promising them.
And by the way, abortion's okay to be, it's again, it's okay to be against abortion if you're a Democrat.
I guess if you're running as the vice president, because that's Hillary Clinton picked Tim Kaine as her vice presidential nominee, and he is pro-life, anti-abortion, anti-union.
That's the guy.
She picked Chuck, she picked Mitch McConnell as her fucking running mate, and then she wondered why she lost.
She didn't pick Bernie Sanders.
She didn't pick Jill Stein.
She didn't pick a progressive.
She didn't pick a lefty.
She picked a corporate, right-wing monster of a fuckface who hates workers and women's right to choose.
That's who the Democrats told you to vote for.
You voted for somebody, Jill.
You voted for someone who was anti-abortion in 2016.
You voted for that person.
I didn't.
I voted for a pro-choice person, Jill Stein.
You voted for someone who was anti-abortion, anti-choice.
That was on your ticket, you fucking shit libs.
And you want to know why we got Trump?
Because Bill Clinton told him to run.
That's why we got Trump.
Former President Bill Clinton had a private telephone conversation with Donald Trump at the same time the reality television star was nearing a decision to run for the White House, according to associates of both men.
This is in the Washington Post.
Also, do we give any blame to the guy who didn't fight for the Supreme Court pick that was rightfully his?
Do we?
No.
Clinton encouraged Trump's efforts to play a larger role in the Republican Party and offered his own views of the political landscape.
Clinton's personal office in New York confirmed that the call occurred.
The call came as Trump was making a final decision about whether to run, and he was candid about his political ambitions and his potential interest in seeking the White House during the talk.
Clinton told Trump that he was striking a cord with frustrated conservatives and was a rising force on the right.
This is what Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton did.
And then Hillary Clinton put an anti-choice guy as her running mate, and she lost.
But I guess that's someone else's fault.
This is all someone else's fault.
Trump has donated to Hillary Clinton Senate campaigns and to the Clinton Foundation.
It's a big tent, folks.
It's a big tent for everyone but lefties.
It's a big 10 for everyone but lefties.
It hurts my soul to know that Democrats will use the reversal of Roe v.
Wade to take in hundreds of millions of fundraising dollars as a reward for doing precisely fuck all to prevent this tragedy.
That's exactly right.
Do you think the Democrats are upset about this?
They are high-fiving themselves and tickled silly right now that they have a fundraising mechanism now.
Now they have this fundraising thing.
Now we can raise money off abortion.
You mean even though you put an anti-choice guy on the ticket?
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
Dems control Congress and the White House.
The party has the power to expand the court, make D.C. a state, protect voting rights, enact a $15 minimum wage, and pass a real climate policy.
If this doesn't happen, it's because the party is choosing that outcome.
Direct your anger accordingly.
And that's from David Sirota.
His wife's, wasn't his wife a Democrat congressperson?
Look at that, 666, side of the devil.
But you know what the beast is?
The beast is actually in us, David.
The beast.
If you know numerology in the Bible, 666, 6 plus 6 plus 6 is 18.
1 in 8 is 9.
9 is the sign of fat.
The beast is in you.
So he's saying, direct Your anger because the beast is in the Democratic Party.
And he's right.
The beast isn't outside the Democratic Party.
The beast is the Democratic Party.
The problem is the Democratic Party.
Not that we don't have enough progressives in it.
You adorable little fucking shitlibs.
That's not the problem.
The problem is the Democratic Party is a seat of power, and it's controlled by who?
Who do you think controls the Democratic Party?
It's controlled by Wall Street, the military industrial complex, big pharma, and fossil fuel companies, just like the fucking country is.
Oh, by the way, and Silicon Valley.
Google the most profitable company in history.
Here's who I don't want to hear from about Roe v.
Wade.
Progressives, Bernie Sanders, the squad, Susan Sarandon, and anyone else who warned, we warned in 2016.
Go to hell, all of you.
Well, your voter outreach needs a little work.
You know, that's not how you get people to vote, right?
We should do more finger wagging.
See if that works.
Didn't work for Hillary.
Keep trying it.
That's amazing.
Blame everyone but the candidate.
And Democrats wonder why they can't win elections.
Well, they want enough to have complete control of government, but what they're showing you is why they can never hold on to government.
Why?
Because they legislate like right-wing warmongering fucking maniacs.
And yes, Joe Biden is pulling out our forces of Afghanistan.
He's going to continue bombing it.
And he's not ramping down the war machine.
He's not.
So do you think he's going to take that $300 million a day that we spent in Afghanistan and spend it back here at home instead?
Of course not, you fucking chumps.
Joe Biden isn't stopping being a warmonger.
He's just stopping kind of being a warmonger in Afghanistan.
See people out there licking his nuts over this.
Oh, yeah.
Joe Biden is occupying a third of Syria.
Joe Biden just killed a bunch of innocent people with a drone strike.
Isn't that a crime?
Shouldn't that be a crime?
Susan Sarandon lives in New York.
For many who don't seem to understand how electoral system works, if you need help, my 12-year-old can explain it to you.
Yeah.
One of the most hilariously deranged behavioral tics of Democrats is they insist their loss in 2016 is more the fault of Susan Sarandon than Hillary Clinton.
Susan is trending today five years later because they can't give up this warp fixation.
To all those who find blaming me less painful than introspection, never knew I was this powerful.
Here's who all Clinton had behind her.
Oprah Winfrey, LeBron James, DiCaprio, Kardashian.
Here's all the celebrities that were on Hillary Clinton endorsing her.
Brittany Spears, Sarah Paul, Drew Barrymore, Ellen DeGeneres, Sigourney Weaver, Tim Robbins, Leah Dunham, Ann Hathaway, Lady Gaga, Deborah Messing, Sally Field, Rosie O'Donnell.
Here's who it Susan Srandon endorsed Night.
That was it.
Wow, she is powerful.
And they don't give a shit.
The shit libs like Jill Flippa, they don't give a shit that what they're saying makes absolutely no sense and what they're doing is defending a corporate, corrupt, corporate, murderous party that won't even give people health care when they have complete control of government in the middle of a deadly pandemic.
That's who they're defending.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
You only make me more popular.
These people are leaving a huge lane open for me.
And I say thank you.
I say thank you because 80% of workers still live paycheck to paycheck under Democrats in California, 100% Democrat rule.
80% of workers live paycheck to paycheck.
People are living under every fucking bridge.
Nobody has health care.
And people who do go break up when they get sick anyway.
The whole country is run by Democrats now.
They're not giving you health care.
They're not giving you a living wage.
They're not ending those wars and investing that money back home.
They're moving the wars around.
They're not ending the wars, you chumps.
You fucking chumps.
They're moving the wars around.
You think they're going to take that $300 million and spend it back here at home?
Chumps.
Do you think that's what's going to happen?
Of course that's not what's going to happen.
So why don't you talk about that?
Why don't you talk about the $300 million that they're not going to spend back here at home, that they're going to keep spending on imperialism?
Can't believe we're still doing the Susan Sarandon's fault thing.
Every woman on here who buys into that noise simply hates a woman with actual politics who hasn't cowed into it.
Who wasn't cowed into just blindly supporting a corporate Democrat because she's a woman, also because she's hot.
I wish Susan Saranda was as powerful as liberals think she is.
Boy do I. Boy do I. So there you go.
That's why America sucks because no one will ever hold politicians accountable for doing something.
They're all high school mentality.
I mean, the same people who did Russia Gate.
So what else do you need to know?
They're conspiracy theorists.
They're liars.
They're intellectually incurious.
They're willful repeaters of the most harmful propaganda.
And they'll shit on anybody who strays from the herd.
So this is herd mentality.
That's all it is.
And it's happening again.
And the Jimmy Dorser show is here to tell you you're all fucking full of shit.
Hey, Jill Flippa Vibabik, tell me again how Ruth Bader Ginsburg shouldn't fucking retire.
Tell me again.
It doesn't matter.
The Democrats will never fight for anything anyway.
Do you ever think there's going to be a Supreme Court that isn't pro-corporation?
Do you think Barack Obama was going to appoint someone who wasn't pro-corporation?
You think Hillary Clinton was going to appoint someone who was pro-corporation and anti-worker?
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Hello, Jimmy.
This is Liam Nason.
Oh, hi, Liam.
How are you?
Concerns.
About what, buddy?
This rancor that threatens to tear our nation apart.
I see, I see.
yes, these are very divided times.
I guess that, Jeopardy?
You're talking about Jeopardy?
But as usual, I have a solution.
Oh, what's the solution?
Two words, Liam Nason.
Oh, come on.
You want to host Jeopardy?
Sorry.
I don't see it happening.
Oh, come now, lad.
I'm the perfect choice.
Think about it.
As we all know, beloved farmer host Alex Trebek has been tragically murdered.
I suspect by the cartels, but we will know soon enough.
And then a slimy corporate type emerges from the shadows to take the throne, but is soon hoisted by his own batard.
And then an outsider, perhaps a lumberjack, rises to save this national treasure of a television franchise.
Wait, are you pitching a movie about Jeopardy or do you want to be the host of it in real life?
I don't even know myself anymore.
Look, Liam, you're just not a game show host, buddy.
I could learn on the job.
I think I'd be perfect.
Here, let's practice.
You and I. I'll be the host and you be the contestant.
Round one.
What is the capital of the American state of Illinois?
Actually, Liam, on Jeopardy, you have to buzz in.
Yes, Jibby.
It's Jimmy.
For the purposes of this exercise, I've given you a slightly different name.
Okay, fine.
This city, this city is the capital of Illinois.
Hmm.
Interesting strategy.
It's reflexive logic for sure, but technically an accurate statement.
By St. Finney's bones, I'm stumped already.
No, Liam.
On Jeopardy, the question is framed as the answer, and vice versa.
Oh, now that is sly.
All right, I'll play your game.
This city is the capital of Illinois.
Kibby.
What is Springfield?
My friend, I'm pretty sure it's Chicago.
Liam, I'm from Chicago.
Trust me, it's not Chicago.
It's like a whole thing.
And that was a daily double.
Be we, bee bew, bew, bew, bew, bew.
All right.
Let's take a moment to get to know our contestants a little better.
Kibby, I understand you are from Springfield, Illinois.
Tell us something else about yourself.
Uh, uh, well, I, uh, um, it says here that you have a small dog.
Yeah, yeah, we have a small chihuahua uh uh pinwhawa, and his name is Brownie, and we love him.
Did you really come on national television to tell people that?
You really just asked me about my dog, Liam.
Ah, yes, but that was a mere suggestion.
Only the fool always goes the direction he's shown.
The wise man makes his own path and sees every choice as an opportunity for greatness.
Is this seriously how you'd be a host?
As host, I see my role as occasional imparter of wisdom as well as asker of answer questions.
Liam, this just isn't going to work.
I suggest you spare yourself the embarrassment and not even apply.
Fine.
I guess this was a rather roundabout way to get what I was really after.
And what is that?
I guess I'll just cut to the chase and ask: do you have Vanna White's phone number?
No, I do not.
You continue to be of little or no use to me.
All right, Liam Neeson.
Fantastic.
So you remember when Corey Bush and AOC went and did their sleep-in because they wanted to get the eviction moratorium extended, but they didn't do it through normal order.
They didn't bring it up during the house.
They didn't try.
No, they just let the house adjourn, and then they slept out on the steps.
But they didn't call for other people to come down.
They didn't use their Twitter accounts and tell people to come down there.
The only people who were on the steps with them were like their staff and a couple of sycophants.
There's less than 100 people out there, I'm told.
I wasn't there, I'm told, by the reporters who were there.
Why?
Why?
And well, what we said was: this looks like a stunt.
This looks like something that's being sanctioned.
Nancy Pelosi is okay with this.
And she was.
And we said that the Supreme Court is going to overturn this if they do this.
And they did.
So their eviction moratorium is no longer.
Why aren't they back out there protesting?
And if so, here's what happened.
House Democrat sleeps on Capitol Steps as she blasts lawmakers over expiring eviction moratorium.
What they should have done, if they're going to act, this is a real protest.
What they should have done was make sure that Congress reconvened and made sure that we took care of the people getting evicted.
They didn't do that.
They let this bullshit moratorium get extended, leaving out 10% of the people as it was, which is over a million people.
And then as we predicted, it would be sent back to the Supreme Court where they would strike it down.
So this wasn't going to work.
We knew it at the beginning.
And if a five-and so what they said is they considered they declared victory.
Corey Bush and AOC declare victory as Biden agrees to extend the eviction moratorium.
And I said, well, if that worked, if a five-day sleep-in that was poorly attended can move mountains.
Here's what she says.
On Friday night, I came to the Capitol with my chair.
I refused to accept that Congress could leave for vacation while 11 million people faced eviction.
Well, that's exactly what they did.
And now 11 million people face eviction again, and you're not doing anything.
Because that was a stunt.
This was all coordinated.
That's why you saw Chuck Schumer out there.
For five days, we've been out here demanding that our government acts to save lives.
Today, our movement moved mountains.
You moved mountains?
Then why would you ever stop moving mountains?
Why wouldn't you spend five more days to get the Congress back in to give us a real eviction moratorium?
Why wouldn't you sleep five more days to get us a living wage?
Why wouldn't you sleep five more days to get us health care?
Why wouldn't you sleep five more days to get student debt relief?
Why wouldn't you sleep five?
Why would you ever stop moving mountains?
Because this was a fucking setup and it was okayed by Nancy Pelosi and the leadership because they knew this was going to happen.
And they immediately fundraised off that immediately.
Breaking the Supreme Court blocks Biden's moratorium on tenant evictions by a sixth.
And this was predicted.
Everybody knew this was happening.
This was a stunt.
And you want to know how I know it was a stunt?
Because here they are celebrating that they got a victory.
Well, people ask them, hey, what about the people who don't have rent forgiveness?
And what about the 10% of the people who aren't covered?
Because this is a targeted moratorium.
That means 1.1 million people are going to be left out.
What's your answer for those 1.1 million people?
What?
This shows you that they are not genuine.
This was a stunt.
And now those people are out on their, they're all fucked.
And watch how they care.
People said, how are you going to do it?
What's your 10-point plan?
What are you doing?
How many days are you going to be here?
So those were people when they started it asking them, how long are you willing to do this?
And what are you willing to do to make what is your, they were trying to get them to actually commit, but they wouldn't.
And so she's trying to dismiss those people who are trying to get them to commit.
How long are you going to stay here?
And what is the reaction?
What is the action you want to take place?
What is your demand?
And how long are you willing to stay here?
And who else are you going to call down here to protest?
Those are the questions.
Those are legit.
So by the way, that is organizing 101.
You lay out your agenda, what you're going to do, what your demands are.
And they wouldn't do that.
And here we go.
Yeah, but what about the, what about the, what about?
And we said none of that.
None of that matters.
We're going to figure that out.
So someone says, what about people's rent forgiveness?
And she doesn't have an answer for it.
We're going to figure that out.
No, you're not.
No, you're not.
You didn't even figure out the eviction moratorium.
You didn't figure it out at all.
And it gets worse.
What are you going to do?
You asked us what we're going to do.
What are you guys going to do?
The CDC just announced an eviction moratorium.
And what we're here here is for our reasons known and unknown.
So our reasons known was to make sure that we extended this moratorium.
That's what we're here to fix.
What about the 10%?
What about the 10% of the people this moratorium doesn't cover?
That's 1.1 million people.
That's a legitimate question.
And if you really cared about people and people being evicted, you would care about them just as much as the other people.
But they don't care about them to the point where they stick their fingers in their ears.
You think I'm kidding?
What about the 10%?
Okay, we're going to turn on some music now.
about the 10%?
I don't care.
So if you couldn't watch that without your stomach churning and not feel like you're being fucking scammed, good for you.
You're a willful dupe.
And now there's no eviction moratorium.
And where are they?
What are they doing?
Nothing.
What were they doing there?
Nothing.
This is a fucking setup.
They're doing nothing.
But what were they doing in the meantime?
Oh, renters prepared for eviction after the Supreme Court ruling.
In most courts, eviction cases have been delayed by judges for many months and can now begin to go forward again.
In others, evictions that were approved at the hands of the Marshals and Sheriffs are ready to be executed.
For months, the White House and legal experts insisted that the CDC didn't have the authority to act and that it was incumbent upon Congress to pass an extension.
So everybody knew it was incumbent on Congress to pass an extension, including Nancy Pelosi, including Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, NAOC, and the squad.
But the House left for an eight-week recess after failing to pass an extension, and they let them leave.
They didn't call out Nancy Pelosi.
They didn't call out, they didn't never cross Nancy Pelosi for ending the congressional session without taking care of the eviction moratorium.
They never fucking brought that up, that Nancy Pelosi did that on purpose.
The Supreme Court ruling is a reminder that Speaker Pelosi should not have adjourned the House and allowed the eviction ban to expire.
Boy, that is the nicest way I've ever heard it put.
If he would also keep going, he would say, and the squad's refusal to force her hand on this is despicable.
And then to grandstand and act like you're trying to do something when that was a stunt.
They would never cross Nancy.
They're not going to cross Nancy Pelosi.
It's not happening.
Nancy Pelosi allowed, she adjourned the Congress without addressing the eviction ban.
They knew she was doing that and they let it happen.
But what were they doing?
They were stuffing their pockets with fucking money from the real estate industry.
That's what the Democrats were doing.
Democrats received a million dollars from real estate mogul just before failing in their relentless campaign to extend a lifeline to struggling renters.
This is from the Daily Poster.
This Daily Poster is going right at the fucking squad hard.
Democrats received a million dollars from a real estate mogul just before failing their relentless campaign to extend the lifeline to struggling renters.
Meanwhile, Democrats have been raking in money from residential real estate interests that benefit from the moratorium expiring.
Lobbyists for real estate interests have been flooding Democrats with cash.
The lobbying firm Brownstein-Hyatt Farber Schreck has bundled hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of donations for the DSCC this year.
Brownstein's lobbying clients include private equity firms with substantial real estate interests.
Thank you.
George Marcus, chairman of both the massive real estate brokerage Marcus and Milchap and the real estate investment trust Essex Property Trust, donated a million dollars on June 1st to House Democrat Majority Pact.
Marcus, who has a net worth of $1.7 billion, has also been a huge Biden supporter.
He donated $4 million to a super PAC that supported Biden.
He contributed, but you guys, we got to keep voting for Biden, right?
Right?
Is that what you guys, they will tell the same people who write these articles and know everything that I know will tell you to keep voting for these fucking corrupt enemies of the people.
That's the beauty, right?
I have the courage to not only be on the left, critique the Democrats from the left, but tell you to stop fucking voting for them.
Because that's the only thing that's going to change them, as Lawrence O'Donnell has told us.
The only chance you have to pull the Democratic Party to the left is to show you're willing to not vote for them.
He contributed millions more to Democratic Party super PACs that aid their committee.
$3.5 million to the Senate Majority PAC and $3 million to the House Majority Pact.
Marcus is part of a group of billionaire landlords that have together seen their personal fortunes increase by nearly $25 billion since last month, last March.
Democrats took millions from real estate interests before allowing eviction moratorium to end.
The Democratic Party knows exactly what they're doing.
That's why they turned on the music instead of answering questions from citizens.
Who turns on the music when you're asking someone who's supposed to be a woman of color who really cares about the people who are being evicted?
They're supposed to really care.
And they ask them about these people being evicted.
They go, ah, let's dance and sing.
A phony does that.
That's who does that.
And let me remind you: this isn't lefty Jimmy Door saying it or the lefty daily posters.
This is the fucking punch bull, fastball down the middle mainstream newsletter in Washington, D.C. And what do they say?
This is what they say.
The squad, which has expanded to seven members this Congress, has been generally supportive of the leadership and Biden this year.
Generally?
Yeah.
There was a moment last month when it looked like they were going to bring down a $1.9 billion Capital Security funding bill due to concerns about more money going to the U.S. Capitol Police.
In the end, AOC, Talib, Representative Jamal Bowman, voted present, while Omar Presley and Bush voted no.
Representative Mondair Jones voted yes.
The bill ended up passing by a single vote.
They coordinated so it would pass by a single vote.
$2 billion more for cops.
But the episode showed that the leadership is essentially powerless without the squad.
That's what the leadership is essentially powerless without them.
The squad, if it chooses to, could run the house.
And shame on all you shitlibs who are defending politicians instead of holding their feet to the fire.
That would be the intercept, Ryan Grimm, the young Turks, and all the rest of the shitlibs in their fucking satellite organ.
I want to show you it again.
I'm going to show you it again.
We showed up.
People said, how are you going to do it?
What's your 10-point plan?
What are you doing?
5:30 p.m. on Saturday.
How many days are you going to be here?
Yeah, but what about?
But what about, but, what about, but, what about?
And we said none of that.
None of that matters.
Hey, we're going to figure that out.
What are you going to do?
You asked us what we're going to do.
What are you guys going to do?
Here's what we're going to do.
The CDC just announced an eviction moratorium.
And what we're here here is for our reasons known and unknown.
So our reasons known was to make sure that we extended this moratorium.
That's what we're here to fix.
What about the 10%?
What about the 10%?
Okay, we're going to turn on some music now.
How about the 10%?
If you can watch that without your stomach churning, you deserve the shit government you get.
If you can watch that and tell people to vote for Democrats, you deserve the shit government you get.
If you can watch that and then defend elected politicians who won't even ask a simple question about a million people about to get kicked out of their house, you deserve the shit government you get.
We were outside the Capitol for five days, rain, heat, cold.
If they think this partisan ruling is going to stop us from fighting to keep people housed, they're wrong.
Congress needs to act immediately for every unhoused or unwell.
I guess if that tweet doesn't get it done, I guess that's all we could do.
Ilhan Omar tweeted out: prevent mass evictions and homelessness.
Cancel rent and mortgages for the duration of the pandemic.
Beth says, how?
How?
How are we going to do that?
What's your plan?
I say, well, if this tweet doesn't fix it, then I guess that's all anybody could do.
Here's you want to see the squad in a nutshell?
This is the squad in a nutshell.
You know what I'm going to do?
You know what I'm going to do about it?
You know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to tweet my displeasure.
That's right.
I'm going to jump on social media and I'm going to tweet about it until my fingers bleed.
I might even send an Instagram or a Vine.
I might even send an Instagram or a Vine.
Even the WWF is more real than the squad.
Professional wrestlers.
More real than the Justice Democrats.
I love the way the entire alt-left pretends the squad did nothing when before Corey.
First of all, I thought this was a joke.
So this reads like a joke, right?
It looks like someone who agrees with me and watches my show.
Watch it up.
Watch the next tweet up.
It says, I love the way the entire alt-left pretends the squad did nothing when before Corey Bush and the rest did their days-long protests, they sent three signed detailed letters to Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer telling them they need to have a vote to extend the moratorium.
And they were ignored.
They sent three detailed letters.
I thought he was joking.
I thought this person was joking because that's funny.
Do you think they didn't do anything?
Well, they did send a sternly worded letter.
Did they threaten to withhold their votes on must-pass legislation?
Well, no, they're not going to do that.
That would be rude.
You mean did they use their leverage to get it done?
No, if you use leverage, that's rude.
I thought this was, like, I sent this to my producer, Mark.
Burke, this guy's hilarious.
Look at that.
We got to use it.
But then look at the next one.
Notice also, Doris never has a plan for what he would have done that would have been so much better.
He wasn't kidding.
He he he he he.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I do.
I have a plan.
I've had a plan since last December.
The plan is that the squad uses their leverage to get progressive policies voted on and implemented because you can't pass any bills without them.
And they hold all the power, just like the Punch Bowl newsletter said.
They hold all the power.
They could run the House if they want.
That's my plan.
So this idea, I never, I had forced to vote.
That was a plan.
What are you talking about?
Anybody else have a plan?
What's their plan?
Nothing.
Their plan is to tweet.
Here's another one.
Like you're doing anything except throwing a sexist tantrum.
There it is.
Do you wonder why people hate fucking lefties?
Do you wonder why people hate Democrats, not lefties?
Do you wonder why people hate Democrats?
Because that's all they know how to do.
Call you a sexist, call you a racist.
That's all they fucking know how to do.
You know what that is?
That's actually misogynistic, what this person's doing.
So a political nerd is being misogynist because he doesn't think female politicians should be held to the same standard as male politicians.
That's actually being sexist and misogynistic.
That you think women should be held to a different standard.
Like you're doing anything except throwing a sexist tantrum directed at people actually doing the work to build progressive power while going on Tucker and endorsing white supremacists, Jimmy Dorf.
Again, they're not doing anything to build a progressive power.
They're not doing anything.
They're doing everything to squelch the energy of the progressive movement and dissipate it.
Where were they when there was 50 cities Fenticare for All March?
Where were they?
They weren't there.
That would be something to build progressive power.
Show everybody how the progressives show up for Medicare.
They're not doing that because Joe Biden doesn't want them to do it, so they don't do it.
The entire Democratic Party is acting like Joe Biden is their boss, including Bernie Sanders.
Guess what the Democrats were doing?
Democrats were scoring cash from the real estate industry while they were not helping extend the eviction moratorium.
So until you people stop voting for Democrats, the country will continue to get worse.
You will continue to not have health care.
We will continue to waste trillions of dollars on foreign wars.
We will continue to punish workers.
We will continue to withhold healthcare for people in the middle of a deadly pandemic, a healthcare system that would save 200,000 lives.
Congrats, shit libs.
You got it.
You can have all the politicians, all the virtue signaling politicians in the world.
Every fucking identity politics.
Hence, let's remember what identity politics is.
They didn't actually put somebody in place to help you.
Like the squad is not using their votes as leverage to get things for you.
They're using their identity to shut you up.
That's what they're doing.
They're using their identity to shut.
How dare you?
You're a sexist.
How dare you ask me to do what I campaigned on?
And that's why that's how you get Trump.
That's how you get his shit Democratic Party.
That's how you get people living under every bridge in California that is a super majority Democratic state with a Democratic governor.
That's how you get 80% of workers live in paycheck to paycheck.
50% of all wage earners earn less than $30,000 a year.
That's how you get that shit done.
That's how it happens.
And it needs people like the intercept, the Young Turks, and the mainstream media to run interference for those same shit politicians as they're selling you out.
So here we go.
The Democrats doing the blame game again.
Instead of blaming Democrats for Democrat electoral losses, they blame everybody else.
Why?
Because they're horrible, shitty, corporate enemies of the people.
Here's one of them.
Here's Max Berger.
Nice blue check, huh?
Solidarity for all.
No, it's not.
No, no, you don't mean that.
He doesn't mean solidarity.
Certainly.
No, he doesn't.
Currently, more perfectus.
Previously, Justice Dems and Elizabeth Warren.
He him.
He him.
Elizabeth Warren.
Wow, that's a great resume.
He's probably taking over a thousand selfies with that kind of resume.
Am I right?
So this is what a shitlib like him says, right?
An Elizabeth Warren supporter who actually stayed in the race just to make sure Bernie Sanders couldn't win.
Imagine how differently the last 20 years would have gone if Ralph Nader hadn't campaigned in swing states during the 2000 presidential election.
I can think of 300,000 other reasons we got George Bush because that's how many Democrats voted for George Bush in Florida.
300,000 registered Democrats voted for George Bush in Florida.
And by the way, Max Berger, the Supreme Court literally threw that election, and the Democrats let them do it.
I guess the Democrats never fight because their donors tell them not to.
So what happened was the New York Times did three, they did every recount they ever did of the Florida showed that Al Gore won.
So that means the Supreme Court literally threw the election and no one gave a shit.
Al Gore didn't fight it.
Nobody fought it.
And 300,000 Democrats voted for George Bush in Florida.
That's your real problem.
Of course they don't want to talk about it.
Of course this guy doesn't want to talk about that.
Of course.
A bunch of Democrats voted Republican in Florida.
That's how we got George Bush.
A bunch of Democrats, 300,000 of them, voted Republican in Florida.
But I guess since Max worked for Elizabeth Warren, he's got a soft spot for Republicans.
From a purely consequentialist perspective, is Nader's decision to run a spoiler campaign in 2000 the single most disastrous decision any individual has made in the past quarter century?
Hard to think of anything that tops it.
I don't know.
How about a certain somebody sticking around until just after Super Tuesday comes to mind?
These fucking people.
Ross Barkin says, imagine how different the last 20 years would have gone if Al Gore were a better candidate and Democrats didn't enable George W. Bush at every turn, voting for Iraq, voting for Afghanistan, voting for the Patriot Act, funding every generation ruining horror.
The Democrats went along with all of it and they didn't prosecute him for being a war criminal.
Why?
Because Nancy Pelosi is complicit in war crimes.
And if she prosecuted George Bush, she would have to prosecute herself.
Do you understand what's wrong with the Democratic?
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
If only the Democrats could get complete control of government, then we could show everybody how good we are.
Oh, shit, it happened right after George Bush.
Barack Obama had the, the Democrats had the House of Representatives.
They had a filibuster-proof Senate.
And Barack Obama was in the White House.
And guess what that gave us?
Trump eight years later.
Why is that, Jimmy?
Because Barack Obama legislated like George Bush and Dick Cheney.
That's why he dropped more bombs than George Bush and Dick Cheney.
He invaded more countries than George Bush and Dick Cheney.
He took us from two wars to seven.
He had a torture program.
He tortured Chelsea Manning, Barack Obama.
He gassed immigrants at the buddy.
Barack Obama deported more Hispanics than all the presidents combined since 1890 and more than Donald Trump in his first term.
Did you know that?
Yes.
That's why you get shitty electoral legislative politics.
Both parties locked Ralph Nader out of any scintilla of power.
And then both parties, both parties' leaders, helped their donors create endless wars and the financial pillage of the working class.
Blaming Nader for that pillage is absurd, pathetic, and willfully, maliciously dishonest.
Guess who's doing that, David?
Fucking Democrats.
Fucking Democrats.
That's who's doing it.
The party that you tell people to vote for all the time.
Boy, David Soros is good, though.
He really lays it out.
Really lays it out, huh?
Uh...
Every time Democrats lose an election, they immediately compile a long list of culprits and villains to blame that includes pretty much everyone they can think of except their own party leaders.
The losing candidates and the consultants, their rotted ideology, and themselves.
Everybody except them.
I have an apple in my throat.
Except their own party leaders, their losing candidates and consultants, their rotted ideology, and themselves.
Wow.
Only electing Democrats could have stopped this, says the Democrats who were elected to stop this.
The Democrats have complete control of government right now.
And you're still upset at Susan Sarandon.
Did Susan Sarandon stop the Democrats from having complete control of government?
No, they have complete control of government.
Why don't they do anything for you?
Because they don't give a shit about you.
Because Joe Biden doesn't work for you.
Joe Biden works for Goldman Sachs, Raytheon, and Exxon and Google.
That's why.
And so when AOC and the squad go along with Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden, they're going along with Goldman Sachs, Raytheon, Exxon, and Google.
So voting for them inside the Democratic Party is a vote for fucking Wall Street, the military-industrial complex, big pharma, and oil companies.
That's a fact.
Thank you.
And it would be so much better off if we didn't have people who'll give lip service to progressive ideas inside the Democratic Party because they'll never fight for them or cross their leadership to get them.
So it gives people the false impression that there's somebody fighting for them inside the Democratic Party when there isn't.
There's someone in the Democratic Party giving lip service to you and then fucking you over.
Solidarity for all.
Justice Dems, Elizabeth Warren.
Guess Chris, guess what, though?
I got something to tell you about the Justice Dems.
Dark money boosted the Justice Democrats.
They take dark money now.
They have super PACs.
And you see how they're legislating.
The only time that they'll coordinate their vote is to make sure we get $2 billion more for police.
They didn't defund the cops.
They overfunded them.
And they coordinated their votes to do it.
But they'll never coordinate their votes to get you health care.
They'll never coordinate their votes to get you a minimum wage or a living wage.
They'll never coordinate their votes to get you student debt relief, to get a marijuana rescheduled.
They'll never coordinate their votes to fight the power inside their own party, which is the same power that's inside the Republican Party.
It's the donor class power.
And it's not because they have Washington brain.
It's because they're corrupt self-dealers who are dishonest pukes.
Pukes.
Dark money boosted Justice Democrats in super PACs.
Get this.
Justice Democrats, who has notably backed members of the squad, recently changed their PAC to a carry committee, which essentially makes them a PAC, a super PAC hybrid with separate accounts.
In the past, Justice Democrats have been very critical of candidates receiving billionaire dark money or super PAC support.
Now it seems they've decided to change their views and accept all three themselves.
According to the group's latest FEC filings, three dark money funded groups and PACs donated $260,000 to the Justice Democrats.
This election cycle, they've accepted $225 from Ways to Win and $50,000 from Democracy Alliance Billionaire Slush Fund 1630 Fund, a dark money venture ran and funded by some of the wealthiest individuals and nonprofits in the country.
Way to Win is a 501c4 dark money venture co-founded by Leah Hunt Hendricks, granddaughter of Texas oil tycoon H.L. Hunt.
They're taking oil, buddy.
According to their most recent tax filings, some of the Way to Win $7 million can be traced to five-figure grants from Groundswell Fund, Tide Center, and the Goldman Sachs Foundation.
But the vast majority is anonymous and dark.
Well, when you've got someone like Goldman Sachs on the list, I don't see how there's anything to worry about.
We don't know much about who funds organize for justice, Justice Democrats, dark money arm.
Their footprint is nearly non-existent, but they received $250,000 from George Soros.
There you go.
This Justice STEM spin-off pack aimed at running negative ads against senators Mansion and Sinema raised $101,000 from February through June.
Where'd that money go?
Well, they spent $14,000 on ads.
Of the $101,000, they spent $14,000 on ads, all before May.
Their co-founder then paid himself $37.5,000.
They still have $33,000 in the bank because, you know, payroll and stuff.
Holy shit.
That sounds like more fucking corruption.
Didn't someone else know would do that?
Started a pack and paid themselves all the money that the PAC was taking in.
That's a nice scat.
That's a nice scam.
That's a nice scam.
The Justice Democrats want all of us to believe that the super PAC can be used for good.
Get the F out of here, says Compton Jay.
So there you go.
There's the shit libs taking dark money, blaming truth tellers for their failure.
Really?
Blaming Ralph Nader, somebody from two decades ago.
The Democrats have had complete control of government for eight years.
Well, they had it for Barack Obama's first year.
And what did they give us?
They kicked 5.1 million families out of their houses in an economic collapse caused by Wall Street and the Democrats.
They didn't help those people.
They screwed those people.
And then instead of giving them a public option, which Barack Obama promised he would give them, he didn't.
And instead of giving them Medicare for all, he gave them a right-wing health care plan, which didn't help them and caused them to go bankrupt when they got sick.
But the stock prices, the stock prices, the stock prices of all of the health insurance companies through the roof.
Now the Democrats have complete control of government again.
Democrats have the House, the Senate, and they have the White House.
But back in Obama's time, they had a filibuster-proof Senate.
And they still gave us right-wing bullshit anyway.
Did nothing for you.
They did exactly what Bob Dole would have done if he had won.
And now the Democrats have complete control of government again.
And what are they doing?
They're doing exactly like what fucking Bob Dole would do.
They're doing Mitt Romney.
They're not giving you a living wage.
They're not giving you health care.
They're not ending the wars and investing that money back here.
They're not giving you student debt relief.
They're not doing anything.
They're not giving you health care in the middle of the pandemic.
But what they will do is make you take a vaccine that's going to make the pharmaceuticals stock price go up 236%, which is what Moderna's did.
You know, a third of those deaths from COVID could have been prevented if we had Medicare for all.
Do you know that?
So if you really care about people, a third.
So that's 600,000 people died.
That means 200,000 people.
We could have saved their lives had we given them health care like the rest of the Western world.
But we didn't.
We want to give everybody vaccines without giving them health care.
Why?
Because giving them health care would cut into the profits of the health insurance companies and Big Pharma.
That's why.
So they don't give you health care.
They give you a vaccine.
Without health care.
We already know healthcare would have saved 200,000 lives already.
And if you believe anything this government says, you're a chump.
Hey, Joe Biden's on the line.
Hello.
Hello?
Um.
Hey, man, it's me, Biden.
First, let me apologize.
I know it's been a long time since we last talked, so I thought I'd throw you a bone.
My pops always used to say that.
Throw your bone.
Here's your bone, son.
Joe, you called last week and the week before that.
Stop it.
I don't know who you talked to last week, but it certainly wasn't me, man.
It's someone else.
But I will alert the FBI.
We can't have someone impersonating the president of the United States of America and get away with it.
