They say that, when you’re in a hole, you should stop digging.  After the 2024 election, Democrats have found themselves in a hole, but they’re doing all they can to dig it deeper.  Case in point, President Trump gave his State of the Union address this week.  It’s never easy for the out-of-power Party to sit through one of those speeches.  There have been past instances of verbal outbursts, to be sure.  But Tuesday night, the Democrats tried to turn the event into a three ring circus.  Unsurprisingly, they provided the clown show.

The head clown in this circus was none other than Texas Representative Al Green.  Green has been in Congress for 20 years.  He’s a lawyer, who has the distinction of graduating from law school without ever earning an undergraduate degree.  The ABA accreditation standards say that is an “extraordinary” feat.  And Al Green hasn’t let them down as, if nothing else, he’s proven to be extraordinarily irritating to one John Donald Trump.

Hailing from the Party that likes to denounce Republicans as “election deniers,” Green is himself the quintessential election denier.  You may recall that he was the first Democrat to call for the impeachment of Trump.  And I’m talking about Trump 45, not Trump 47.

Green and Mad Maxine Waters started Trump impeachment talk after the 2016 election, even before Trump’s first inauguration.  It was February 2017 when Green filed his first impeachment articles based on Trump’s firing of James Comey.  Given that Green is such an extraordinary intellect, he should have known an impeachment for firing a Cabinet member didn’t work in 1868.  It didn’t work in 2017 either.

Democrats were still counting the 2024 votes when Green started talking impeachment for Trump 47.  This was before Tuesday’s speech.  On Tuesday, about five minutes into the speech, Green jumped up brandishing a cane and began yelling at the President, staging what might be called the Cane Mutiny.

That’s Adam Schiff (for brains) sitting in front of Green.  I was hoping he might get hit in the head by an errant swing.  Too bad.  Maybe Green was hoping to reenact the 1856 Capitol protest, when another Democrat, Preston Brooks, used his metal tipped cane to beat Republican Charles Sumner unconscious. In any event, Green never got the chance, as he was escorted from the Chamber by Sergeants at Arms.

And Al Green was only the center ring of the circus.  Democrat women attending the event all wore pink clown suits, because “pink is a color of power and protest.”

Well really, pink and some purple –

Boy, that’s telling him.  It looked like the bar room scene from Star Wars.

And then, in the third ring, were the stupid little signs.For a while there, it looked like the Democrats thought they were at an auction.  I was waiting for Trump to point the gavel at them and say, “Sold, to the lunatic with the purple hair.”

If Democrats thought that this nonsense would revive their  Party’s flagging popularity, it failed.  At least in the sane world.  MSNBC’s only complaint was that more Democrats didn’t follow Al Green’s lead, and rise up to be expelled one after the other, “to inspire their base.”  But inspiring their base isn’t the problem.  Their problem is that their base is down to below 25% of the electorate.

In the land of the living, Trump’s speech was wildly popular.  A CBS poll found 70% of viewers thought it “inspiring.”  77% supported his stands on cutting waste and on immigration.  More than 70% supported his remarks on ending the war in Ukraine, and 65% agreed with his stand on tariffs.

Such numbers would be a grim reality check if only the Woke Resistance actually was in touch with reality.  They’re not.  To the Left, Trump is still Hitler.  When you try to tell them how rare it is for nearly 80% of Americans agree on anything, it falls on deaf ears.  They give you Liberal Answer #1 – “That’s not true,” and then intone, “anyway, Trump is Hitler.”

And although the Democrat Party is being described as “out in the wilderness,” even by the few remaining sane Democrats, the loony Left base is firmly convinced that the “Trump is Hitler” meme is their path to salvation.  Although nobody asked her, and although few either knew or cared that she was still alive, actress Mia Farrow sounded the alarm online – “If we have 6 months of democracy left I’ll be surprised.  I’m guessing 3-4 months – unless we do something.”

She didn’t explain what the “something” was that she wants to be done.  She concluded, “Trump is a monster- loathsome.  All these fawning people know better.  I would never be in the same room with him.”  Don’t sweat it Mia, I’d lay odds you won’t be in the same room with the President anytime soon.

The point is, although Farrow may be a nut, she’s a nut with 200,000 followers.  Poll numbers indicating the will of the electorate mean nothing to such people.  And many of them happen to be Members of Congress.  These are politicians, who are supposed to be adept at feeling which way the winds are blowing, and turning changes in public opinion to their advantage.  Not this bunch.

Faced with issues on which 8 of 10 Americans disagree with them, they just keep doubling down on crazy.  So wedded are they to the continuation of unbridled illegal immigration, they object even to the deportation of violent criminal aliens.  Here are remarks from New Mexico Democrat, Melanie Stansbury, “It’s total bullshit.  Absolute bullshit.  They are not making America safer and what they are doing is terrorizing immigrant families.”

When Trump acknowledged the families of women murdered by illegal aliens, Democrats sat silent.  When he recounted outrageously wasteful spending, they sat silent.  They couldn’t even stand in sympathy for a 13 year old cancer patient, whose only crime was wanting to be a police officer.  Simply put, Democrats went out of their way to prove themselves worthy of the sign Representative Stansbury bravely sported Tuesday night.

No, Melanie, it certainly is not.  And not to be outdone, Mad Maxine Waters burnished her “election denier” persona.  Maxine boycotted the speech because she didn’t want to listen to “that bullshit.”  Afterward, Mad Maxine cornered the market on bullshit, suggesting  that “Elon Musk’s high technology ass” might had rigged the election for Trump.

With every breath they take, and every move they make, Democrats only seem to dig themselves deeper into their hole.  My message to Democrats is, keep digging.
