No love from Barry
Far left Democratic funder George Soros doesn't believe he got his money's worth in former President Barack Obama. Indeed, he called the man he helped bankroll "his greatest disappointment" in an interview with The New York Times.
He said the former community organizer "closed the door" on him after winning the 2008 presidential election and thanking him for his support. He also said the onetime Illinois U.S. senator had a reputation for taking "his supporters for granted."
Soros, it was previously revealed, said in a May 2012 letter to Hillary Clinton that he regretted supporting Obama.
He "just wanted to be taken seriously," a confidant of the funder has said.
Be that as it may, it didn't keep the billionaire from working with Organizing for Action, a organization created to support the president's policies during and since his terms. Currently, Organized for Action and his Indivisible Project offer online trainings on how to build protest movements against President Donald Trump.
"Even the safest [Republican] will be deeply alarmed by signs of organized opposition," the group's training manual says, "because these actions create the impression that they're not connected to their district and not listening to their constituents."
At least his hate has found a home.
Wait, who said that?
Told about President Donald Trump's planned "reset" with Russia and a promise of more "flexibility" after the next election by Amber Athey and Justin Caruso of The DC, people on the streets of Washington, D.C., recently were none too pleased.
Only the current president said none of that. Those phrases were used by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama, giving credence to the assumption that too many people don't pay attention and, if they do, their political preference colors their opinions.
"Sure, that's a problem," a man holding a "Make Russia Great Again" protest sign said of the flexibility remark.
"I think that is the most dangerous sentence you can say," another man said about the same phrase, arguing it is offering "carte blanche" to anything that might happen after 2020.
"It sounds like another comment Trump would make," a woman said of the former president's 2012 remark.
When Clinton and Obama made the comments, though, they were praised as insightful, wise and forward-looking. Hmm.
When you can't leave the room
Two liberal-led underwear companies don't want female Democratic U.S. senators to miss a minute in opposing Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanugh, so in a recent public relations stunt they have sent them care packages, including "moderate absorbency underwear," a water bottle and a protein bar.
"It's unclear how long SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh's Senate confirmation hearing will last," Kejal Macdonald, vice president of marketing for Icon, told the Washington Examiner, "but we know that it is absolutely critical for our Senators to do everything possible to prevent the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice who would roll back women's rights and undermine women's health."
The absorbent, odor-free underwear allegedly holds between six and eight teaspoons of urine, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
Macdonald said it is "absolutely critical the senators wear the company's pee-proof underwear when opposing Kavanaugh late into the wee hours."
One report said the underwear was sent to Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., while another said it was sent to all women in the Senate.
Many Democrats believe Kavanaugh could be a fifth vote to overturn the high court's 1973 abortion-granting Roe v. Wade decision.
"Icon and THINX believe in empowering every body, and that includes empowering women to make their own decisions about their reproductive health," Icon and THINX CEO Maria Molland Selby told the Washington Examiner.
She's their star?
The Democrats have ditched their Papa John's-like "Better Deal: Better Skills, Better Jobs, Better Wages" slogan for the electric "For The People," but Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California is having a little trouble keeping up. In fact, recently she's had more than a little trouble.
During a recent weekly news conference, she said, "Democrats are here to offer a better deal, for the people, with better jobs, better wages and a better future."
In recent months, Pelosi bungled a chant she started herself, called Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., "whatshisname" in an attempt to criticize him and slurred her words during a public appearance, mispronouncing "soybean" and asking a reporter to "repoot" a question.
She's also repeatedly referred to President Trump as President Bush.
Many Democrats believe she no longer should be the face of the party, and now she's making it evident.
