(with apologies to Al Franken.)

Does anyone remember Joe Wilson? He called President Obama a liar in the middle of a speech he was giving to a Joint Session of Congress. He wasn’t escorted out. The Sergeant at Arms didn’t go to his seat and remove him.

Vice President Biden didn’t gesture with his thumb, cartoonishly directing, “Get him out of here.”

That’s because Democrats value free speech, even if it’s rude. Even if it’s wrong. Even if Joe Wilson, was himself lying about what President Obama was saying.

Democrats, we, believe in free speech. No matter who is speaking.

However, we also believe in truth telling. In calling out lies. In calling out hypocrisy. Real hypocrisy. Real lies. Not the fake news crowd’s misinterpretations, misleading, and misinformation.

I can almost guarantee that anyone reading this will NOT be receiving a tax cut. In fact, your services will be cut even if you do not receive social services. I mean, they fired the folks who watch over and take care of our nuclear arsenal, why wouldn’t they take away the things that we need. They fired the air traffic controllers and then wonder why planes are falling out of the sky.

They’re canceling contracts (great business decision, amirite?) left and right, which in turn has people who will lose their jobs and benefits. It’s called the domino effect.

This morning, the fake agency DOGE cancelled the contract for the land that President Obama’s Presidential Library is going to be built.

And in case you missed it, the classified documents that Trump stole in his last term and stored on stage and in a bathroom at his Florida resort were just stolen back by him and flown on Air Force One because they’re “his.” Kind of like when my son cried out that the Batman his sister took was his. Except they’re not his. They belong to the American people. They belong to us. They’re classified for a reason.
