This is almost too funny to be real – except it *is* real. A supposed Democratic leaked memo was found on the street (okay, that’s lame from the start) with a plan on how Democrats were going to take over the House in 2026. Oh, come on. It’s obvious such a thing would not be conveniently found on a Washington street. What a lame idea for a spoof. Geez, people. And it gets better! From Raw Story:
The National Republican Congressional Committee, the branch of the GOP that works to elect members of the House, is being trashed for releasing what it called a “leaked memo” from the Democratic Party, which it claimed was “found on DC street” — and which onlookers said was clearly a spoof. The top of the memo reads the phrase “leaked memo” and “Prepared by: DCCC Braintrust” with the subject line “Our Vision for America When We Retake the House Majority in 2026.” It also includes an RNCC disclaimer at the bottom.
Who on earth came up with this idea, and why wasn’t it just sent to the trash? It would be more likely that a Republican document would be found “on the street”. But *that* is just as unlikely! They didn’t even pick a good place to “find” it. All it’s doing is making *Republicans* look bad, not Democrats.
It seems to show that Republicans don’t have a brain among them anymore. This was not creative. It was intended to be a distraction. They got what they wanted – in the wrong way. The “document” is making them look bad because it’s obviously fake. It won’t distract folks from Epstein for more than a day. Soooo it’s a failure all ‘round.
“NRCC NOTE: This is the America Democrats want to build. Higher taxes. Open borders. Skyrocketing gas prices. No more gas cars. Crime in the streets. Pronouns before commonsense. No more freedom. House Republicans are the only thing standing between you and the nightmare of ‘Project 2026.'” The apparently fake “memo” prompted swift dissing from those online. “Haven’t laughed this hard in a very long time,” said Kentucky Young Democrats president Allison Wiseman on X.
WHAM. There ya go. Laughter instead of panic. That was a failure, too. The thing simply did not work. At all. On the other hand, it‘s good to laugh instead of scream. I’m saving that. Project 2026? Get real. Not even a chance. Sure, our Democrats may be planning on how they might get at least control of the House back. That’s assuming Texas doesn’t go the blatant gerrymandering route. Who knows what would happen if they push that through. More power to the Texas Democrats in the state legislature for saying “oh hell NO” and leaving the state. I thought that was great. And there’s the bonus of pissing off Governor Abbott and Trump. (EDIT: Governor Abbott has ended the special session to gerrymander so the Democrats are returning home.) Now, here we have some individual comments for more fun and laughter:
The Bulwark’s Joe Perticorn agreed, mocking, “I always put ‘LEAKED MEMO’ at the top of my top secret memos.” //// “Everyone hates how we are governing so to keep power we will embrace a new strategy of forging documents,” mocked deputy chief of staff Aaron Fritschner. //// House staffer Marc Chaaban exclaimed, “Holy s–t I just found this top-secret White House memo from Trump on the street in DC,” the obvious fake used a silly font and listed “Cover-up Epstein” three times in the bullet-pointed strategy. //// “I love that this is on DCCC letterhead despite clearly being a NRCC writeup. Do they really expect anyone to believe the Dems labeled this a ‘Leaked Memo’ and plan to ‘bring back waste’ and become ‘less rational?'” asked Johnson Newspapers reporter Alex Gault.
Okay, yes, that was long, and I didn’t use all of them. (There are more in the article.) Humor is good in today’s world of “oh, my god, what NOW”. It’s a good way to come back from my involuntary got sick hiatus.
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, with the exception of one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to keep going in our quest to tell the truth about Trump and see democracy survive. If you can help, please do. Thanks. Ursula
The republicans.
Still pathetic.
The laugh’s on the Dems trying to divert from their memo. The litter problem in DC is so bad the National Guard has had to be brought in.
PS we are in Looney Tunes territory wher ethe characters carry bags/boxes labelled “Dynamite”/”Poison” or whatever when planning something dastsardly
