The Angriest Democrat in the Room

The Angriest Democrat in the Room      
By Byron York
Wednesday, April 30 2025

If you get the sense that JB Pritzker likes to condemn people to everlasting punishment, you're right.
   
JB Pritzker, the billionaire hotel heir who since 2019 has served as governor of Illinois, wants to be president. Like many Democrats, Pritzker believes his party has not been tough enough in opposing President Donald Trump. Now, he is urging them to take to the streets to engage in mass protests, mobilization and disruption so that Republicans "never know a moment of peace." It is not clear how far Pritzker wants Democrats to go in their disruptive activism, but when you vow that your adversary will "never know a moment of peace," you probably mean just that, whatever ugly measures it might entail.

Pritzker made the vow Sunday night in a speech to Democrats in New Hampshire. A key part of his address was to push back against members of his own party who say Democrats have gone too far left and should moderate their positions in order to reconnect with more voters.

First, Pritzker touted some of his accomplishments in Illinois: "We enshrined reproductive rights into law," he said. "We legalized cannabis. We protected labor rights. We joined the U.S. Climate Alliance." Abortion, pot, minimum wage and climate – maybe that's not a comprehensive platform, but it's what Pritzker highlighted. And then he declared: "We may have to fix our messaging and our strategy, but our values are exactly where they ought to be – and we will never join so many Republicans in the special place in hell reserved for quislings and cowards."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This is exactly what the commiecrats accused Trump of saying after the Capitol riots.  They had their underwear stuffed up their as*es and were screeching in indignation.  But if Pritzker says it, there is absolutely no problem. *****rollingeyes*****

This is what 'real' insurrection sounds like. Like mad-Max, Pritzker is calling on Americans to block highways and to loot/destroy cities. He is explicitly calling for rebellion against the Government.

This is the exact opposite of Trump calling for 'peaceful protests' and his urging everyone to 'obey the law'.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

The Dems bench is full of "soft" men. Sparticus, Walz, Haukeem.  There isn't a single stud amongst them.  Further, there is no one softer than Jelly Belly Prickster.  The prickster in incapable of being an effective leader, an effeminate one yes, effective no.

The only thing billionaire JB might be angry about is that his champagne is too warm.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Or that his wife brought home only one dozen donuts.
