Guy Ciarrocchi: Thank you, Democrats
Thank you, Congressional Democrats, countless Democratic Governors and mayors and the well-funded (often by taxpayers) left-wing activist, professional agitators. Thank you.
Rather than feeling angry, or shouting back, I offer you my sincere thanks.
In case any taxpayer or any citizen thought this past election was merely a contest between two people running for President, or simply a battle between two political parties, the last five weeks have helped us all see that what is at stake is much, much bigger than one election or even one session of Congress.
The major differences between the two parties are not over policy. The major battles are over priorities, values and goals. The Democrats and Republicans are not trying to achieve the same things, just by different policies
So, I wish to thank all the left-wing activists, talking heads, and politicians. We now have complete clarity of all that is at stake.
They’ve held rallies outside the Capitol almost every single day since January 21. They’ve screamed on the floor of the House of Representatives. They posted on social media about “chaos,” a “constitutional crisis,” and the age-old classic, “Hitler.” While sitting in their kitchens or cars, they’ve cried on TikTok.
They’ve gone judge-shopping to find radical judges to rule that President Trump can’t fire executive branch employees. That he can’t hire — or assign — executive branch employees to perform tasks. To get court orders forcing our tax dollars to continue to go to countless wacky causes around the globe. To get court orders prohibiting illegal immigrants with criminal records from being extradited back to their home nations. To get court orders prohibiting the Secretary of the Treasury from reviewing Treasury department records of how our tax dollars are being spent. To prohibit eight-month severance buyouts being offered to bureaucrats collecting paychecks in the bloated, expensive, wasteful federal bureaucracies. To prohibit White House staff and supervisors from asking bureaucrats what they do at work. To prohibit the President and his team from requiring that federal workers actually show up at work.
When they’re not in court, they’re hurling unlimited, vitriolic accusations — warning of despair, poverty and death — because President Trump, his cabinet, and staff are doing such “dreadful” things.
They’re calling Trump a “fascist” for the umpteenth time because his staff is allowing podcasters and radio talk show hosts to sit in the White House press room and even — Heaven forbid — sit in the seats “reserved” for CBS News.
They’re warning of chaos in America and around the world because the Trump administration doesn’t want American taxpayers to pay for — or require — drag shows in Africa, or for South American nations to use DEI policies to hire companies to build sewer systems destroyed in floods.
They’re paying activists to go to GOP congressional town halls and yell, whine and exaggerate the horrors of reducing a $7 trillion budget, for our nation that is over $36 trillion in debt.
And, now they’re screaming that taxpayers might get a refund — returning to us some of the billions in tax dollars that will no longer be misused for waste, fraud, or abuse.
So, yes, I say to Hakeem Jeffries, Jasmine Crockett, AOC, and Elizabeth Warren — and their army of left-wing lawyers and professional agitators masquerading as community activists: Thank you.
And to Governors like Newsom (California), Hochul (New York), Pritzker (Illinois), Mills (Maine) and our own Shapiro, who have trial lawyer activists racing to court to demand the unending flow of our tax dollars into their coffers for pet projects and for the “right” to ignore federal law — and common sense — so as to impose their left-wing values on their home state’s citizens. The right to spend billions, hide illegal alien criminals, and allow teenage boys to spike volleyballs at the faces of teenage girls — and then join them in the showers.
Yes, thank you. One and all. You have clarified the debate about values and goals for America and Americans.
You believe that the bigger and more expensive the federal government, the better.
You believe that bureaucrats should have more power than elected officials or citizens.
You believe so strongly in woke policies and DEI that you want to impose them on impoverished nations across the globe.
You believe in foreign aid so much that you want American taxpayers to send money to European nations, China, and to “non-profits” helping Hamas!
You believe so strongly in open borders that you fight to have illegal immigrant criminals remain here and be subsidized by Americans.
You are so beholden to the teachers union that in the face of over one trillion dollars spent on the US Department of Education and falling test scores, you’d prefer to spend more to keep it going than to start over.
And you feel so strongly that grown men should be allowed to compete against, win trophies from, and shower with teenage women that you’ll go to court to keep those policies in place — and even censure legislators who oppose you (see Maine).
These are not merely two parties with disagreements on how to make America great again.
There are genuine, Grand Canyon-sized differences on what America is and what it should be.
The Democrats in Congress, their gubernatorial and mayoral allies, and countless well-funded professional rally activists have told us what they value. What they will fight tirelessly for, in the courts, in halls of Congress, in capitols and in the streets.
So, on behalf of those of us voting for and wanting common-sense, results-oriented government and stability in our communities and lives: you have made the choice crystal clear.
Thank you.

Bueno
The inmates were running the asylum for too long. There’s a lot of counselling and couch visits going on.
This entire article is based on nothing more than innuendo and insulation. The author clearly believes if he repeats thing often enough they will be believed. Since there are so many lies I’ll stick with a few of the worst.
Let’s start with the elephant in the room, Trump=Hitler. What are American Jews supposed to take from statements made by Trump during his recent campaign; Jews who do not vote Republican are disloyal, Jews who vote Democrat hate their religion and Israel, and if I lose the election it will because of the Jews. Along with his nationalistic beliefs that we see in countries including Russia, China, and North Korea.
“They’ve gone judge-shopping to find radical judges to rule that President Trump can’t fire executive branch employees. To get court orders forcing our tax dollars to continue to go to countless wacky causes around the globe.” That’s because he has actually broken the law and judges have upheld this.
“They’re paying activists to go to GOP congressional town halls and yell, whine and exaggerate the horrors of reducing a $7 trillion budget, for our nation that is over $36 trillion in debt.” – During Trump’s first term in office similar claims were made with no actual proof. Now it is happening again and the same alternative fact is being made without any actual proof, including by the author.
Judah — just to clarify your last point, you don’t think the Dems pay protestors, or you just don’t think it’s possible they would pay people to claim to be GOP at townhall and protest?
Shopping judges happens all the time. Its also why judicial elections have consequences. Please don’t play stupid to appear smart.
Trump being the candidate who stood up for jews being harassed around the country and college campuses, it absolutely grates on the logical person as to why jewish people would be fearing for their safety and not vote for the outspoken supporter.
To your claim he is inappropriately supporting dictators and communist countries — what exactly did he do other than leave the diplomatic seat open to them with words while hitting them with tariffs? How many invasions of countries happened on his watch by those you mentioned? And under Obama and Biden?
Please get some more dem talking points or go shit down Doug Mastriano. That guy’s an idiot.
Google it, Judah.
If you had proof you would have provided it.
“just to clarify your last point, you don’t think the Dems pay protestors, or you just don’t think it’s possible they would pay people to claim to be GOP at townhall and protest?” – Did you read my reply; “Now it is happening again and the same alternative fact is being made without any actual proof, including by the author.”. WHere is the proof that Democrats are doing this?
“To your claim he is inappropriately supporting dictators and communist countries —” The U.N. vote affirming that Russia invaded Ukraine, the U.S. voted with Belarus, Russia, and North Korea. All of whom are dictatorships and North Korea is the most repressive of the group. Who invaded Ukraine in 2014 and 2022?
“Shopping judges happens all the time. Its also why judicial elections have consequences.” – Trump, Vance, and Musk have made statements that they may not and already are not following the rulings by judges. Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the release of 2 billion dollars of funds approved by Congress, do you think he will do it?
“Trump being the candidate who stood up for jews being harassed around the country and college campuses,” -What I asked was “What are American Jews to believe when a President states that American Jews who don’t vote Republican are disloyal, hate Israel, and hate their faith? These statements don’t make him any different from the campus protests, worse yet as the President of the United States his words influence others.
1- yes. They do pay protestors. Google it.
2-trump has not supported dictators. His refusal to pick a media fight with put in doesn’t make him on their side.
3- you’ve made an argument based on something that hasn’t happened.
4-jews being attacked on college campuses is a big difference from him saying he has supported jews and jews are nuts not to support him.
The man acts like a Putin and Kim Jung Il are great brilliant guys, but every EU leader is an idiot.
How is that not supporting dictators?
1. – Recently Speaker of the House Johnson made the same claim, without proof. If he can’t find it and you can’t find it. Then it does not exist.
2. In Trump’s first term in office he stated that he trusted Putin more than he trusts U.S. intelligence agencies when it comes to Russia. There’s your sign. When America votes with North Korea at the U.N., there’s your sign.
3. I made nothing up, since you can’t “Google it” here is the facts; https://www.scrippsnews.com/politics/president-trumps-first-100-days/supreme-court-rules-against-trump-administration-in-foreign-aid-case
4. Why should Jews support a man who states that if they don’t support him are disloyal?
Keith – big difference you moron. Geopolitical and global politics isn’t you being nice to someone and therefore theybare your friend. Grow up dumbass.
Judah – here’s a link. I googled it. Like I said you should. There is evidence (of both parties) organizing and paying people — i don’t know why you are so stupid you can’t fathom people being paid. Maybe you should actually work on a campaign as a paid staffer and see the sleepy crap that people do.
Where’s the link, id you forget to post it or were unable to find it?
There will be an American Third Party before the Democratic Party can rid itself of its present leadership: Weird Al Green, Pressley, Omar, Crockett, AOC, Tlaib, et. al. The new popular voting majority will be 40-42% not 50-52%. We’ll have the Republicans (40), Democrats (40), and a Rainbow Party (20) that incorporates ossified Blacks, LGBTQ, 55+ educated white women who got lost on their way to Woodstock, HOA presidents, witches, vegetarians, tree huggers, and Jew haters wearing keffiyehs
