Why Democrats Are A Threat To Democracy
By Mitch Berg
Forget balancing power between the Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches. Democrats – including Kwesi Mfume, one of the most powerful people in Washington – have a view that’s more in line with the likes of…
…I dunno…
…Lavrentii Beria.

This week’s content generation award goes to Mfume. Apparently he changed his name in the 70s to more closely emulate African dictators. A whopping success!

I’d say some failed Civics Class, but looking at his bio, it’s a strong possibility his segregated school didn’t teach that before he dropped out. It’s also likely that his GED wasn’t very rigorous in the early ’70s.
What I can say is that he’s obviously forgotten his own history. He’s old enough to have lived through and suffered from the Democrat Party being proudly White Supremacist. Despite that fact, and the Democrat Party’s blatant racism today, he’s still a member.
I will give him plenty of credit though full pulling himself up and turning his life around. Father left while he was young child. His mother died when he was 1. He dropped out of high school to work multiple jobs to support his family. He had run ins with the law because, “[he] happened to be black and happened to be young, and happened to be guilty…” And he turned his life around, got his GED, and attended college. It also seems like he learned the lesson about Politics and Political Power being a spoils distribution racket.
And some more, if only partial credit. He was first elected in 1978 to the Baltimore City Council and Congress in 1986, and he hasn’t served continuously in Washington of his own volition. Partial because while out of elected office, he’s worked several executive jobs in the non-profit and academic sectors. A successful private sector man he is not. Like so many politicians, government has been good for Mr. Mfume, despite growing up in segregated, pre-Civil Rights Era Maryland.

Leftist-marxist DEMOCRATS. Act accordingly.

The FBI & DOJ aren’t targeting conservatives.They’re targeting criminals. I understand why that’s confusing for you as the distinction is blurry. But it’s nonetheless true.
July 20th, 2023 at 8:25 am
Apparently Emery didn’t read Mitch’s last line.
July 20th, 2023 at 8:35 am
SSC, always amusing when Fluffy validates a point that Mitch has made. Famous quote by Beria, “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime”.
July 20th, 2023 at 8:35 am
Of course the GOP is trying to undermine and defund the FBI. Perhaps the alleged bias against Republicans is merely a reflection of the level of criminality they tend to exhibit?
July 20th, 2023 at 8:39 am
^ Of course the Mensheviks are trying to undermine and defund the NKVD . Perhaps the alleged bias against the Mensheviks is merely a reflection of the level of criminality they tend to exhibit?
July 20th, 2023 at 8:42 am
Sorry. Instead of Menshevik, use Fascist Trotskyist.
July 20th, 2023 at 8:52 am
I’m wondering if the DemoCommies intend on massacring the J6 prisoners if/when they are defeated in the next election cycle like the NKVD did when the Germans attacked the USSR… oh, waittaminute, the DemoCommie electoral fraud that ensures they’ll never lose is maybe the only thing keeping those prisoners alive.
July 20th, 2023 at 8:55 am
In case you were curious. NKVD prisoner massacres.
I’m sure all those victims exhibited an appropriate level of criminality to be killed.

none of what you say changes the fact that you are a depraved pedophile.
July 20th, 2023 at 9:37 am
PIG — You kill more babies jerkin’ your gherkin every week than abortions do in a year, champ.
July 20th, 2023 at 10:00 am
Doesn’t understand the Beria reference. Thinks that using FBI and DOJ to prosecute political opponents is perfectly reasonable.
Wilfully obtuse or just plain stupid?
July 20th, 2023 at 10:18 am
Russia made its coup leader leave the country. Ours is running for president…..
July 20th, 2023 at 10:53 am
Emery,
really the best you can do?
nothing changes the fact that YOU are a depraved pedophile.
July 20th, 2023 at 10:59 am
Russia LET its “coup leader” leave the country WITH HIS ENTIRE ARMY AND CONTROL OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Ours is running for president…. DESPITE EFFORTS BY LAW ENFORCEMENT TO HOBBLE HIS CAMPAIGN LIKE WE DID LAST TIME.
Fixed it for you.

Pro-tip: It should be noted that most of the contributions to the Trump campaign will be used to pay his legal bills, not on actual campaign expenses.
As a practical matter, Trump the person came under federal judicial supervision in Miami when he was indicted on the documents charges. The federal judge in her discretion released him on his own recognizance; she could have detained him. Trump is most likely going to remain under some form of federal judicial supervision for the rest of his life. He will be extraordinarily lucky if he gets what former vice president Spiro Agnew got, which was probation and a lifetime gag order on protesting his sentence (or something like that). Agnew walked the line.

In the US, traditional legal practice held judges above the fray – impartial, neutral, above political considerations and not affected by them. That was one of the things that distinguished the US from Third World banana republics.
Since at least 2007 when Obama made IRS audits a tool of oppression, Democrats have been working diligently to transform the US into a Third World banana republic complete with double standards, fraudulent elections and political persecution.
Now that Lesko Brandon is completing our journey as Tran-Nation (transitioning from Rule of Law to Banana Republic), we should learn from those who already enjoy the benefits of Third World practices. In those countries, when an opposition political leader is arrested on dummied-up charges before a corrupt judge, the judge faces some personal responsibility for the case. Bombings, shootings, family massacres, all help to focus the court’s attention. How long until that begins to happen here? Could Democrats’ unheard-of fixation on President Trump be the final straw?
How long will people like The Emery Collective remain safe when the local Vigilance Committee has a rope and a tree?
July 20th, 2023 at 11:41 am
I can see Emery as a juror, ‘well they wouldn’t have been arrested if they weren’t guilty’.
July 20th, 2023 at 11:48 am
Imagine being investigated for the crimes you publicly committed.
Horrifying
July 20th, 2023 at 12:07 pm
^ curious if you that list of crimes handy. “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime”, indeed.
July 20th, 2023 at 3:32 pm
Correction: the Democrats are technically a threat to the Republic, as our system of government is technically not a democracy, thanks be to God.
And if the checks and balances truly reside in armed bureaucracy, I would submit Mfume wants our country to be an oligarchy or dictatorship. It would be wonderful if Congress required a passing civics test for admission.
July 20th, 2023 at 3:34 pm
Trump has been indicted. So why does it feel like he hasn’t?
I suspect you’re actually disappointed in Trump’s behavior that led to the indictments, but also express outrage at the politicization of law enforcement. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
July 20th, 2023 at 3:39 pm
As outrageous as anything MTG or Laeren Bobbit has said.
Democrats always point to the outliers in the GOP House and say “look at these idiots!,” but of course the reason they are elected is because of the way that the House elections work. The same dynamic produces nutty-as-a-fruitcake, dumb-as-a-stump Democrat congressmen.

“I would submit Mfume wants our country to be an oligarchy or dictatorship.” ~ BB
This is the perennial problem for politicians on the right who have to face elections. The right, by definition, exists to defend the interests of the rich and powerful. Its policies are against the interests of the majority of the population. Conservative politicians somehow have to cobble together enough votes to get elected to enact their unpopular policies. To do that, they need to divide the working class through appeals to various hatreds: racism, nativism, sexism, etc. There simply aren’t enough prosperous strivers to support conservative politicians otherwise.
So the psychology of the working-class voter who supports the right is not, in fact, a so-called “populist” who “distrusts authority.” On the contrary: they love to submit to authority, to personalities they see as greater than theirs. Trump has successfully cultivated that image for himself. These people want other workers, especially poor people, to be crushed under the boot, and they don’t want a middle manager to do it. They like seeing the boss himself do it, and they even like seeing the boss having a little fun at the middle manager’s expense, too. When Trump tells jokes at DeSantis’s expense, they will laugh loudly. They like Trump because he acts the way they imagine they’d like to act if they were rich, banging porn stars with a crass joie de vivre.

The right, by definition, exists to defend the interests of the rich and powerful.
How do you figure? The vast majority of wealth in this country is owned and controlled by democrats/leftists/progressives. Almost every large corporation out there is run by ESG principles. That the democrats are the party of the working class and the little guy is the biggest bunch of bullshit in the last 3 decades.
July 20th, 2023 at 6:04 pm
Emery, point of fact; it is the left that gets the most support from the rich, not the right. Got any more horse manure you’d like to share here? I’ve got a garden to keep, ya know.
Or better yet, try addressing the reality that if indeed the DOJ, FBI, and IRS act as “checks and balances”, they are in fact an oligarchy that is counter to the Founders’ goal of a republic.
And to be fair, I feel for ya, since you feel compelled to defend crap artists like Mfume. He really doesn’t give a thinking person much to work with. So maybe consider your allegiances a bit, and it’ll go easier for ya.
July 20th, 2023 at 6:14 pm
He really doesn’t give a thinking person much to work with
And hence the reason Fluffy feels an allegiance to him.
July 20th, 2023 at 7:02 pm
Emory for the win-“FBI and DOJ not targeting conservatives, they’re targeting.. criminals..”. Apparently, they missed Hunter Biden..

Ultimately, the January 6 and false elector trial(s) will probably come first and push all the other trials out further.
Overthrowing the constitutional transfer of power is an order of magnitude more important public issue than the classified documents case.
There’s a lot more stuff to hit the fan imminently. Next week probably when he will be indicted for trying to overturn an election and all that goes with it including racketeering.
As he drowns in indictments he may ultimately be offered immunity to get lost. We can only hope.
July 21st, 2023 at 7:02 pm
Where was there a “overthrowing the Constitutional transfer of power”?
July 21st, 2023 at 9:33 pm
Emery,
you are still a depraved pedophile.
