Democrats appear to be having a media moment.

In the last several weeks, several mainstream outlets have churned out at least three glowing profiles and one other flattering piece on prominent Democrats.

The latest comes from the New York Times with the headline: “Immigrant Twin Brothers Battle Trump Machine on Facebook.” Reporter Nick Corasaniti, profiles Rafael and Omar Rivero, immigrants from Mexico who founded the Facebook page Occupy Democrats, calling them “social media mavens of the left who are quickly emerging as a counterweight to the dominance of right-wing online sites.”

Until ONE pays for their crimes against America, our domestic enemies feel safe to keep doubling down against America.

We’re well past the point of the DEMs doubling down against America. It’s more like middle fingering the rest of America.

Here's a press release you'll never see.

Michiyin

Enlightened leftists, for all their superior social awareness, have proven time and again they have little ability to connect their fragmented geni’s into a complete package of wisdom. If they did they would have pulled their feng shui package from dusty storage and refreshed their understanding of the excess of yin.

Yin is, as Merriam-Webster puts it, the feminine passive principle in nature that in Chinese cosmology is exhibited in darkness, cold, or wetness . Ancient Chinese philosophy still points out excess yin equals flooded plains.

Whitmer’s reign makes it Whitmer’s rain. Democrats are UNbalanced. They ruin everything.

The last time I saw something that big on a runway, I was at O'Hare Airport.

Some day Occupy Democrats will actually create something that is true.

Gauleiter Whitmer was duly elected by good the people of Michigan. Now they have to wear a mask to line up for groceries and they can't get a haircut.

People get the kind of government they elect. Scratch a dem and you will find an authoritarian. Remember, they are perfectionists at projection. They are always calling repubs NAZI's.

In the final analysis, people get the government they deserve.

The only runways that can handle the load of her model are the ones that were reinforced to handle the Airbus A-380.

The NYT thinks conservatives dominate Facebook?

I recall how the media transformed a pot-smoking, America-hating, black separatist marxist into a patriotic “committed Christian.”
I remember how the media trashed Gerald Ford, and turned him into a clumsy, bumbling old fool.
My memory is vivid of how they turned Dan Quayle into a stupid jerk over a foolish and inconsistent spelling convention.
They have been non-stop trashing Trump since he announced.
I fully expect they will redefine stacey abrams as twiggy and biden as Einstein.

Being born and raised in Philadelphia I learnt long ago that what you said and many believe mostly ain't ever true.

https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/before-she-was-governor-gretchen-whitmer-was-a-rebellious-teen-from-grand-rapids hints at the mechanics of politics without spelling it out.

LANSING, Mich. – Only Michigan’s second female governor who graduated Magna Cum Laude from Michigan State University’s law school, Gretchen Whitmer’s professional tenure is dotted with experience and accolades.

But that wasn’t always the case. As it turns out, Whitmer wasn’t so career-oriented growing up.

The word that she would use to describe herself? “Recalcitrant.”

“I was a pain. When I was going away to MSU, neither my mom nor I could wait for that to happen,” she said. “I was strong-minded.”

She also had an active social life with subpar grades. A graduate of East Grand Rapids High School, she said she didn’t turn her attention towards her career until after she had started college.

“Yeah, I did okay. But it wasn’t until the second half of MSU,” she said. “By the second half of MSU, it really clicked and I started just getting four points. I went to law school and I graduated Magna Cum Laude.”

But even at that point, it wasn’t public service she was interested in entering. No, she wanted to be ESPN’s first female sports reporter. That’s why she took an internship with George Perles, the former football head coach at MSU.

However, after another internship with former Speaker of the House Curtis Hertel, things changed and she redirected her vision toward government and what would amount to 14 years of experience.

ESPN? Football team intern? A recalcitrant young woman? Politics sounds like a step down if you ask me but that’s the one she took; and under the guidance of Curtis Hertel hisself, yer honor.

The late Curtis Hertel: https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/curtis-hertel-obituary?pid=179423485

…Hertel was known for a number of important pieces of legislation, some of the most notable are the passage of Proposal A which overhauled education funding in Michigan, increased revenue for road funding through a gas tax increase, the creation of The Children’s Trust Fund, and an increase in the minimum wage…

An obituary is not the place to get specific about the deceased success and has little to do with the grooming of Governor Whitmer.

It does provide a starting point for gaining understanding of how less than worthy leaders are 'duly' elected all across the U.S.A.

Computer misbehaving dropped the subject being addressed.

Occupy Democrats is a fake meme-generation site. They rarely can put together a post without at least one glaring error. But they do get shares.
