Before the State of the Union, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) joined other leaders in promising Americans that the Democrats will unleash a revenge tour after taking power in November, pledging to start throwing Trump people in jail when they retake Congress. Murphy went on MS NOW to feed the rage addiction that has taken over his party.
We recently discussed how Susan Rice joined the mob in stating that “When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media … it’s not going to end well for them.”
She followed other Democrats, assuring voters that, if they returned Democrats to power, they would crack down on their political opponents.
Republicans and law enforcement are now regularly called “Nazis” and “fascists” by Democratic leaders. Some are promising arrests from the President to individual police officers. Last week, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner promised to “hunt down” ICE officers like “Nazis.” Democratic strategist James Carville previously threatened that “collaborators” may be treated in the same way as they were after World War II.
Gov. Tim Walz, who has called ICE officers “Gestapo,” said that this may be our “Fort Sumter” moment, a triggering event for a civil war that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.
Democratic members have been warned that they have to join the mob or be devoured by it. Bravo star and liberal podcast host Jennifer Welch praised footage of a “No Kings” protester celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. After playing the clip, Welch laughed with joy and declared, “So listen up, Democratic establishment. You can either jump on board with this s—, or we’re coming after you in the same way that we come after MAGA. Period.”
Murphy clearly got the message and added his voice in declaring that “they’re going to get their clocks cleaned this November, and a bunch of people are probably gonna end up going to jail.”
It is a curious pledge, since the Democrats could retake the House and Senate in November. That would not give them the ability to throw people into jail even if they had actual crimes to charge.
What is clear is that the Democratic Party has now decided to try to ride the rage wave to power, leading the mob with such reckless rhetoric. In “Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution,” I explore the rise of what I call the “new Jacobins,” establishment figures who are calling for radical changes to our constitutional system and for retaliation against political opponents. It is a book about revolutions and how they can consume those who start them.
These Democratic politicians will learn this lesson from history that they are likely to be devoured by the very mobocracy that they are unleashing through rage politics.
As usual Anonymous never provides a confirming source for her daily rants. It’s not that hard. I can find sources that help you prove my position within just a few minutes. The only explanation is unadulterated laziness. Her standard response to my posts these days is did you think that through. Yes Anonymous I did think it through and I research information that supports my conclusions. I understand. This is a process in which you have no familiarity. Having it all in your head is just enough. Stinkin thinkin.
TiT,
It is just another failed tactic they try to use to highjack the comments section. For awhile it was grammar. Calling everyone a geriatric. Playing dumb and making a inane comment. Now, citing sources.
All it really means is we are smarter than them. We make decent, interesting comments while their comments, not so much.
I think I would enjoy having a beer with Sen. Fetterman. He seems grounded in reality and willing to speak plainly. The rest of his party? Not so much. Too many sound like they’re talking to their base instead of the country. Independence and honesty shouldn’t be rare in public office, but lately, they are.
Olly, any idea why he is a Democrat?
Wise, maybe because he’s honoring the citizens who elected him and the oath he took. That’s the job. Party comes second.
Try again. You silly old fart. And it not the job. He’s a representative, not a delegate. He represents all citizens. Pompous fool
. Olly, the structure may have weakened or collapsed under FDR. The citizens have been trained that government gives them money, rights, freedom.
Best to all.
OLLY,
Funny you mention Sen. Fetterman. Was having a conversation yesterday with a friend and Sen. Fetterman came up. He struck us both as a traditional Democrat who is willing to call a spade a spade.
So you met Fetterman huh?
Spade you say? Are you sure? Try that in a black neighborhood. Whitey.
It will be interesting to see what kind of support he gets from his base and the party if/when he runs for reelection.
Why?
. Terrible place. It was FDR that changed the structure.
Good bye Good people. Pbinca had a good take on sotu.
Too many sound like they’re talking to their base instead of the country. Base? They did elect them.
Olly, what century did you say you live in?
Olly is an fool. Give him a break.
Kurt Vonnegut, a much better writer than Turley, once likened the mind of the totalitarian sycophant to “a cuckoo clock of Hell, in which all the gears have had a few teeth filed off very neatly” such that the clock tells perfect time for a while and then lurches randomly forward for an unpredictable amount of time. The missing teeth, of course, are simple, obvious truths, truths available and comprehensible even to ten-year-olds, in most cases that sycophants choose to ignore. The willful filing off of gear teeth, the willful doing without certain obvious pieces of information is how people come to believe insane things, as Turley does. In this way Turley conveniently overlooks the fact that Trump himself didn’t just issue verbal rhetorical threats like what is upsetting him so much right now from the Dems – no Trump actually rode the rage wave of the mob to attack the Capitol on January 6 in which law enforcement officers were brutalized and the Vice President’s life was so endangered that he was hidden away by his security detail. He made good on his attempted insurrection. The only difference with Turley’s cuckoo clock in Hell, however, is that he carefully picks and chooses which teeth to file from his gears to keep you – his readers – continually enraged and engaged.
Anonymous finally admits it. She has a gear tooth missing. This is the first time that I can recall
Anonymous saying that she has read a book. It sounds mote like she read the summary and skipped the rest. Totalitarians act first to shut down freedom of speech just like they did on Twitter and Facebook when Biden sent his goons to intimidate social media. Mark Zuckerberg even apologized for giving into the Biden jackboots. Her comrades couldn’t even stand to congratulate the winning of the Hockey gold medal. A perfect display of Anonymous and politicians who can’t show any appreciation for the country that helps them get rich while in office. They hate the boys Hockey team and now they hate the girls Hockey team because they are visiting the Whitehouse. Trump is right. These people are crazy.
Funny how you missed the allusion of Turley compared to Vonnegut.
You didn’t think that through did ya?
It’s not so much that he didn’t think it THROUGH, he just didn’t think. He is incapable of thinking independently.
All he knows is what is fed to him by Turley and his fellow MAGA morons.
Turley and Vonnegut? You wanna rethink that.
“Kurt Vonnegut . . .”
Nice plagiarism.
Murphy and the rest mean it. The Democrat crazy cult has tried it before.

They must be stopped.
Trust me theyll be stopped when they start disapearing.
Young,
Thank you for posting that.
It is sad this revelation does not surprise me.
Revelation? Its a website, not the bible.
Upstate ,
Thanks. Like you I wasn’t surprised either. But it is depressing and worrisome to have it confirmed.
So you two can start crying on each others’ shoulders. You simps.
Democrat blathering for emotional release. The police power belongs to the Executive, the states, counties and cities. Congress can only fulminate. If they want to put people in jail, they will have to win the presidency in 2028. While the Democrats rage on, the Republicans can learn to say, “There you go again.”
Turley is just worried that he might be on the list of fellow travellers and enablers come the purges. Lawyers never want to take responsibility for their actions…
“These Democratic politicians will learn this lesson from history that they are likely to be devoured by the very mobocracy that they are unleashing through rage politics.”
Let’s hope.
Hope? Funny reading the comments here, its already been happening on Turley’s website for a long time. The reps. here gouge each others eyes out.
I think the Reps. will kill themselves faster than the dems will.
This always happens, but how quickly is the question? They don’t usually get devoured by their own until they have taken full power and wiped out their common enemies. Then they turn on each-other.
VERY OT BUT CURIOUS.
The California High Speed Rail Authority was created in 1996. Thirty years and billions of dollars later no track has yet been laid.
The Great Pyramid at Giza took only muscle and about 20 years to build.
At the end Egypt had a gigantic pyramid that stood for thousands of years but California still has no train or even one piece of rail on track.
Something is very wrong in California .
Wrong blog.
OT means Off Topic but ‘Anonymous’ means nobody relevant.
I think I see the problem here: You believe the goal of the High Speed Rail Authority was to create a high speed rail network to move people around California. It was not. It’s goal was to create a virtual network to move dollars between people in California. Specifically, transferring vast sums from the tax-payers and into the hands of the politically-connected consulting class, union bosses, and environmental groups. These people, would then forward on a portion of the money into the pockets of the politicians who approved the project.
By this standard, the California High Speed Rail Authority has been a tremendous success.
And where’s the money??? Democrsts??
The left is utterly brilliant. They want revenge for being held accountable for the he crimes they committed on their first revenge tour to get Trump. Hypocrisy, thy name is Democrat.
No democrat has been accountable.
“Trump’s desire for external validation is, frankly, pathetic. And the truth is that we are despised like never before. You can see this in surveys:”
Well said.
Well said. Who said it? Ever hear using sources.
Good luck with that. You are an American hating citizen hating piece of garbage. But you do love the illegal aliens, criminals and terrorist. Only a brain dead moron would support Democrats going forward
Are you screaming at a mirror?
Unfortunately, rage feeds rage. They have been in Congress too long. They need to be voted out, not rewarded with mindless re-election. Republicans need to fight back at the ballot box this midterm election as if their lives depend on it. Because from the sounds of it, that may well be the case. Murphy, Goldman, Raskin, Kelly, Slotkin, all of them have been radicalized. They and others like them, and they are dangerous. The Democrats have already said they’re going to abolish all the Federal law enforcement agencies, and open the borders if they get in power. The main people I’ve listed have all said they’re going to abolish the Electoral College, Raskin has been very open about that and now they’re saying the US Constitution needs to be thrown out, it hasn’t worked. So, what would that make us then? Certainly, we would no longer be America, we would no longer be a free nation because all our rights and freedoms are written in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Are these the people we want in power? They have told us they’re coming after us, and we can bend to their will or be thrown in prison or worse. We need to take them seriously. They’ve declared a Jihad;; convert or die. May God have mercy on our nation!
The left is utterly brilliant.
Why is it ok for Trump to go on a revenge rampage in order to destroy democracy, but no ok for the Democrats to do the same to restore democracy?
How was democracy destroyed? Specifics. Trump has followed Court rulings and is enforcing existing laws.
And what revenge tour? Seeking justice for those who violated the law and lied to Courts? I thought no one was above the law.
It’s all in their deluded little minds.
Either cite actual evidence or go troll somewhere else. It wouldn’t be acceptable no matter who did it. If you claim one side is planning revenge prosecutions, prove it with facts, not slogans. Flip the jersey. The Constitution requires evidence and due process, not tribal accusations.
Hey stupid, Rice just announced and Turley repeated that they intend to get revenge.
Go back to back old man.
Revenge? Who was his victim?
The Democrats have been on a revenge tour since 2016. They didn’t care if they broke the law, lied to the American people, and had no regard for the damage they were doing to the country. Trump is holding them legally accountable to make sure no other president is treated the way he was treated.
This isn’t “red meat.” It’s a competency test. Flip the jersey. If a Republican said this about Democrats, would you reject it? If yes, reject it now. If no, you’re defending tribe, not principle. I’m a conservative. I support investigations when there is evidence of unlawful or unconstitutional conduct. That’s accountability. But targeting people first and then looking for a crime is retaliation.
Citizen capacity means applying the same standard regardless of who’s wearing the jersey.
Go back to bed old timer.
OLLY,
Exactly. If Republicans said the same, I would ask, “What is the crime?” “Show us the evidence of wrong doing.”
Otherwise, just declaring “People are going to jail!” is not a campaign plat form.
Not a platform? You are either stupid or illiterate.
You are showing your stupidity in spades.
Republicans did use similar rhetoric, but the difference was the basis for it. The calls were tied to specific alleged conduct and evidence, not simply party affiliation. That’s the line that matters. In a constitutional system, you investigate evidence of wrongdoing. You don’t declare in advance that political opponents are going to jail.
Flip the jersey. Evidence first. Due process always.
OLLY,
“You don’t declare in advance that political opponents are going to jail.”
That sounds very Stalinesque or Mao.
Perhaps that is why out leftist friends are in such a uproar today in their failed attempts to comment bomb the comment section. Once again, Democrats declare they are going to jail political opponents for . . . something. And that something is nothing they can or will say. Just . . . something.
The optics of Democrats remaining seated when Trump asked all those who support Americans first to stand was not a good look for them.
Upstate, the real problem is the lack of rational curiosity. Too many citizens don’t ask, “Is this true?” or “What is the evidence?” The first and only test is: what jersey did it come from? Citizen capacity means asking the same hard questions regardless of party. Without that, rhetoric replaces reason, and tribe replaces principle.
OLLY,
Sad but true. I mentioned a bad AI fake of Pertti a Congressman displayed on the floor. A few days later I was at a friends, and she brought up the same bad AI fake to show me as proof of . . . something. When I pointed out it was a AI fake, the ICE LEOs head was missing and she had been duped, her head nearly exploded. I then tried to get her to ask the hard question of what was the root cause of Perrti to behave like that. To bring a gun and enough ammunition to commit a mass shooting. She refused.
OLLY
An absolutely perfect summation of the MAGA cult and Trump tribalism.
A wonderfully succinct and accurate summation.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
It appears you have come in to the light from the dark side.
Citizen capacity? Its called CIVIC CAPACITY.
We have plenty of civic capacity on display. People are engaged, vocal, and participating. What’s missing is citizen capacity.
Participation without principle becomes tribalism. Citizen capacity is the ability and willingness to apply constitutional principles consistently, regardless of party, preference, or outcome.
OLLY
“Participation without principle becomes tribalism.”
Absolutely brilliant summation of MAGA madness and Trump tribalism.
May I have your permission to use this absolutely perfect and succinct phrase.
Questions. The big question to me is why do Murphy, Rice, et al do this? Who are they speaking to? It must be their base, because this language of putting opponents in prison really appeals to no one except the base. Does the Democrat leadership sense that their base is weakening and needs constant fuel of rage to keep going? Or can they think of nothing else to day?
why do Murphy, Rice, et al do this? Please, ask them. To you. Who is the base? Fuel the rage, just like you’re doing here.
“Does the Democrat leadership sense that their base is weakening…?” They not only sense it gda, trust me, they know. And just like Legacy Media and their continuing, spiraling, plummeting of viewers, trust, and their own credibility… they simply don’t care. They have ‘theirs’ – their power, their wealth, their armed security, their gated mansions far, far away from the riff-raff; their own constituents. (Why address their concerns – those silly peasants)? I’m continually amazed at their tone-deafness toward the 80% citizen electorate who agree with each other on many policies. Let Leadership reap what it sows, if that’s possible.
gdonaldallen,
They do not seem to have anything else of substance to run on. Wokeism blew up in their faces. Everything that was the Biden admin did not go well for them. Harris/Walz was a failure. Right now, the only thing they have is “We are not Trump!” and hate and rage. It must be exhausting.
Chris Murphy is a DEMOCRAT senator, not a Democratic senator . . .Democrat is a party, Democratic is an adjective describing the form of government and certainly Democrats are in no way DEMOCRATIC.
Tomato… tomato…
So….?? Who cares ?
If you don’t care, why reply?
“Let your rage fuel you,” cooed fake moderate Karen Scamberger. The hate infuses the Democrat party from top to bottom, just like it did the Nazi party they so authentically emulate.
It’s from Abigail Spanberger, you nitwit.
As noted, Murphy (an idiot) has joined the call to arrest all Trump enablers – and potentially begin retribution killings of Trump voters – “after we retake power”. Hmm. Maybe the GOP should act first? When someone says they are going to shoot you, maybe you should pay attention and do something about it before it happens.
Some thing with the threat to “pack the Supreme Court”. If expanding the Court is such a great idea, I vote for Trump to agree, and nominate about 200 conservative Justices now, get them confirmed, and we can have a Court that would be 205-4. If it’s good for the country, after all, why would you wait?
Murphy has more smarts and brains than you. He’s a senator, and you’re an anon fool. Who’s smarter now?
Murphy is an ass hat senator and if he had all the brains you think he does he would shut then hell up.
Still 12 years old I see.
it’s A PUIZZLEMENT. TDS No joke parallel universes
The revolution eats its children… du Pan. To the Gods we pray that it comes very soon.
All hail Trump!
Ah… fresh red meat for the MAGAotts. Enjoy!
Sick reply.
A reply to what?
You are up early this morning with your hatred and BS.
Who is you?
How is quoting the words of a Democrat “red meat” to Republicans? Seems Murphy is throwing red meat out for Democrats. Why would he want to fire up Republicans?
“When they tell you who they are, believe them.”
That comment said nothing about quoting anyone. I understood it a refence to the local MAGotts to star their daily feeding frenzy here. I could be wrong.
And its most appropriate here. Just to watch the MAGAotts scream at and insult each other for the next 24 hours.
Watch the crazy here, its like the republican party overall.
If some Democrats would not say crazy things, the good professor would not have to point them out.
