[American Mirror] Nancy Pelosi can’t seem to find anything nice to say about anything positive that happens in the Trump era.
"June jobs numbers show what is at stake from the brewing storm of rising health costs, spiraling trade uncertainty and an economy being hollowed out to enrich big corporations and the wealthiest 1 percent," Pelosi said in a statement.
"Six months after receiving their windfall from the GOP tax scam for the rich, Corporate America is on track to spend $1 trillion on dividends and stock buybacks, while announcing tens of thousands of layoffs, refusing to give workers a raise and raising costs for families. Meanwhile, hard-working farmers, factory workers and families across the nation are reeling from retaliatory tariffs and trade uncertainty. America should be taking strong, smart and strategic action against unfair trade policies, not recklessly antagonizing our allies and inviting retaliation against the men and women of American farming and manufacturing," she said.
"The American people deserve so much better than the raw deal they are getting from the cynical Republican special interest agenda. Democrats know that the American people deserve A Better Deal, with Better Jobs, Better Wages and a Better Future. Democrats will never stop fighting for the hard-working middle class families who are the backbone of our nation."
Last month, Pelosi was equally negative about the positive economic news.

The dems need to fine those workers more for being productive in order to improve their lives (and also the lives of bribable senators who direct that loot)

...All I know is this: I have never worked as hard as I am now...and I've never made as much as I am now. I got a pretty substantial raise, an our customers have material pouring in for work. I'll take it.

So according to her, no job growth and higher taxes are the way to go. Whoopee, that's a bandwagon to jump on. Sure-fire election winner (sarc). Keep plugging that Nancy. You're on a roll.

"June jobs numbers show what is at stake...
(They are hiring non-Union, where's MY kickback!?!) from the brewing storm of rising health costs,...
(Big Pharma! Big Insurance! Yoo-Hoo! Where's my bribes PAC donations?) ...spiraling trade uncertainty
(Okay, CA seaport business taking a hit would be bad for the constituents, so give her a Pass on this one) ...and an economy being hollowed out to enrich big corporations and the wealthiest 1 percent,"...
(That Pelosi is one of those 'wealthiest 1%' is irrelevant, right? Right?) Pelosi said in a statement.
Folks, IMHO this is a lot bigger than Feinstein's people are letting on. For the party to actually decline to endorse her means the inmates are well and truly running the asylum there now, and no matter how much money she has to play with she now has to go toe to toe with people who really don't like her very much. She's gonna have to fight, and she might still win...but it does not bode at all well for the Democratic Party. But then again, these days what does?
[FoxNews] California Dems snub Sen. Dianne Feinstein for longshot rival, in 'clear-eyed rejection' of party establishment
The California Democratic Party issued a stunning rebuke of U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Saturday by decisively handing its official endorsement to state Sen. Kevin de Leon, her longshot Democratic challenger.
The move was the latest sign that establishment Democrats are facing something of a national insurgence, coming on the heels of last month's shock win by 28-year-old Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over high-ranking Rep. Joe Crowley in a closely watched New York primary.
In backing de Leon, a majority of the party's 360-member executive board ignored Feinstein's calls to stay neutral in the race. Her allies had warned an endorsement would only further divide Democrats.
The final vote margin was lopsided: A total of 217 delegates voted for de Leon, of Los Angeles, or nearly 65 percent of the delegates. Meanwhile, only 22, or 7 percent, cast ballots for Feinstein and 94, or nearly 30 percent, voted for no endorsement.
The California Democratic Party had declined to endorse Feinstein's re-election bid in February, but it did not then also endorse de Leon at that time.
De Leon has long been courting party activists and appealed to those seeking a fresh face and a more progressive senator to fight against President Donald Trump.
"Today's vote is a clear-eyed rejection of politics as usual in Washington, D.C.," de Leon said in a statement after the vote. "We have presented Californians with the first real alternative to the worn-out Washington playbook in a quarter-century."
Party members and activists are typically more liberal than the wider California electorate that has sent Feinstein to Washington five times. Feinstein has turned skepticism from some party activists into an asset in her past campaigns.
The endorsement of de Leon means the state party will spend money promoting his candidacy this fall. Still, Feinstein outpaces him in name recognition and cash and has a loyal following across California. She won the June 5 primary with 44 percent of the vote compared to de Leon's 12 percent.
While it's an embarrassment for California's senior senator to lose her party's official nod, it may do little to change the trajectory of the race.
"We are confident that a large majority of California Democrats will vote to reelect Sen. Feinstein in November," Jeff Millman, her campaign manager, said Saturday night.
California runs a top-two primary system that sends the two highest primary vote-getters to the general election regardless of party. The system allowed de Leon to take the No. 2 spot by squeaking past a slew of unknown Republicans in the primary.
Six U.S. House candidates for seats considered top Democratic targets joined Feinstein's call for neutrality in a letter to members before the vote on Saturday.
"A divisive party endorsement for U.S. Senate would hurt all down-ballot candidates and our ability to turn out Democrats we desperately need to vote in November," it said.
De Leon led the state Senate until earlier this year. He is the author of California's sanctuary state law that was the target of a Trump administration lawsuit.
Feinstein was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1992, when she became the first woman to serve the state in that chamber. She is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where she'll take center stage this summer during the U.S. Supreme Court nomination fight.

I think that's largely right - among other races, you have three openly socialist congressional Dems in PA winning their primaries two months ago, then there's that toothy ex-barkeep in Queens for whom the media has a massive erection for (sorry about the visual!). Couple that with the extremely old guard in the upper echelons of the Dem party (Feinstein, Pelosi, Sanders, Warren, Steny Hoyer, Clyburn) are near or at 70 years old, and the fight over the political levers is gonna get ugly, and I don't have enough popcorn. One of you guys needs to bring some buffalo wings!

I saw an article somewhere that the rising far-left socialists is the fallout of the Bernie fiasco.
It argued that most demoncrats were just there to skim the funds of the groups they ran for and the younger and true believers are still very butthurt that Bernie got railroaded as he did. Now they are motivated at the local level to throw the old guard out of office for hurting their Bern.
I see this going on for a couple election cycles until the demoncrats realize they are getting completely trounced and remake the party to what it was. An organized criminal organization masquerading as a political party.

Sadly, he’ll still win, thus shifting the Senate one half step further left.
They are all tranzies, the new generation is less adept at masquerade - and therefore, less dangerous.
