D.C. Dems in ‘Weekend At Bernie’s’ mode.

Democrats’ Plan: Propping Up Incompetent Leaders

Senator Dianne Feinstein is back in the Senate, but her return is not as triumphant as her colleague Chuck Schumer would have us believe. After months of absence due to shingles, Feinstein is still experiencing side effects and will have to work a lighter schedule. Photos of the senator, who will turn 90 next month, are quite grotesque, as if Getty Images asked AI to generate “a photo of Sen. Dianne Feinstein starring in ‘The Toxic Avenger.’”

Propped Up Like “Weekend at Bernie’s”

Feinstein’s fellow Judiciary Committee members are propping her up in a wheelchair “Weekend at Bernie’s”-style, as leftist lawmakers are champing at the bit to ram as many norm-shattering judges as possible through Senate confirmation. But Feinstein isn’t the only Bernie at this soirée. Senator John Fetterman has been surrounded by an entourage of heartless staffers and his succubus wife who have been doing their darnedest to make him appear as lively as possible despite severe side effects of a stroke.

The Real Story

Just like “Weekend at Bernie’s,” the real story about Feinstein or Fetterman or Biden isn’t about the corpse so much as about the dudes propping it up. In the Washington version, none of the people orchestrating the ruse are accountable to voters. Democrats don’t need good leaders in Congress or the Oval Office, they just need good Democrats — and a good Democrat is any Democrat that’s a vehicle for the left’s extreme agenda.

It’s Part of the Plan

The incapacitation Democrats have got going on in Washington right now isn’t a mistake. It’s part of the plan. While establishment Republicans consistently screw over their own party’s voters with petty attacks of “candidate quality” and hubris, Democrats know the best allies are any in power. Even if they’re horrible or incoherent or almost dead, they’ll do just fine for holding majorities, passing legislation, installing judges, and keeping the left’s agenda du jour alive.

• Feinstein is back in the Senate, but her return is not as triumphant as her colleague Chuck Schumer would have us believe.
• Photos of the senator, who will turn 90 next month, are quite grotesque.
• Senator John Fetterman has been surrounded by an entourage of heartless staffers and his succubus wife who have been doing their darnedest to make him appear as lively as possible despite severe side effects of a stroke.
• Democrats don’t need good leaders in Congress or the Oval Office, they just need good Democrats — and a good Democrat is any Democrat that’s a vehicle for the left’s extreme agenda.

It’s time to stop propping up incompetent leaders and start electing competent ones who can actually govern effectively.
