Eber: Waiting for Godot “Donkey” style

The Democrats have no leader, no message, no agenda.  AOC is threatening to start a new Party.  Could this be 1912 again—when the Republican split and gave us the bigoted socialist, Woodrow Wilson for President?  Can a Party that refuse to allow Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania to be the nominee for VP, because he is Jewish, exist in a Party run by the Sanders wing of the Party?

“The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) headed by Elon Musk is considered to be the enemy of social security, education, Medicare, and everything else they have investigated.  Apparently cutting down on waste, corruption, and fraud jeopardizes those receiving benefits from government programs. 

Typical is the fund raising email sent by the Political Action Committee (PAC) Defend the Vote.

This is, serious.  Elon Musk and his DOGE cronies have access to social security payment systems and are on the EDGE of  making major cuts. The former head of Social Security under President Biden is even warning that checks could stop in the next few weeks! BUT we can halt Elon’s corrupt plan if we reach our fundraising goal.

Can even one person prove the President intends to cut social security or Medicare to seniors?  Quite to the contrary, Trump has proposed these benefits be tax free.”           

No one believes anything the Democrats say.  They believe every day is Halloween.  They are getting more desperate every day.  In Florida, the Democrat Minority Leader is the State Senate, left the Democrat Party.  His words: “The Florida Democrat Party is Dead”.  Will we see more legitimate  Democrats admit this for their State and nation?

Waiting for Godot “Donkey” style by Richard Eber

Samuel Beckett’s classic 1952 play Waiting for Godot has been revived.  This new Theater of the

Absurd production will not be playing on Broadway.

Instead, the Democratic Party has co-opted the subject matter as it searches for a new leader following their crushing defeat last November.

Thus far Progressives has failed to produce a spokesperson for the Donkey cause.  No one has stepped forward with a vision of what Democrats propose to do if voters return them to power.

Liberals continually resort to hatred of Donald Trump. They ignorantly call the President a threat to democracy once again.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) headed by Elon Musk is considered to be the enemy of social security, education, Medicare, and everything else they have investigated.  Apparently cutting down on waste, corruption, and fraud jeopardizes those receiving benefits from government programs.

The former head of Social Security under President Biden is even warning that checks could stop in the next few weeks! BUT we can halt Elon’s corrupt plan if we reach our fundraising goal.

Can even one person prove the President intends to cut social security or Medicare to seniors?  Quite to the contrary, Trump has proposed these benefits be tax free.

Another good one is preposterous Democratic opposition to the mythical “No Kings Act”.  It would exempt the President from prosecution while he is in office.  It matters not this subject is covered in the Constitution or has no chance of passing in Congress.

Why would anyone with an IQ higher than tap water donate money for such a ridiculous cause . Only wack jobs such as Lettia James, Juan Merchan, and Fani Willis desire to interfere, with red herring attacks to a sitting President lawfully voted into office?

Or how about the continued government subsidy of National Public Radio (NPR)?  Rachel Maddow has labeled this extreme

left leaning institution as being “non-partisan.” Her credibility to reach such a ridiculous conclusion is about on the same level as hiring Ted Bundy or Richard Allen Davis to be baby sitting consultants.

One would think Democrats would have learned their lesson after voters rejected Trump’s so called conviction in New York and take a different course of action to thwart the Republican Administration.

Their desperation is so great that Joe Biden wasrecently furloughed from his assisted living residence to attack Donald Trump.

Former President Barack Obama is frequently used to rally Democrats to the Progressive cause.

Twice defeated Democratic nominee candidate Bernie Sanders (aged 83) has been active rallying the liberal troops. Despite his age

and Socialist views, at least the Senator from Vermont is coherent.  He actually has a plan to prop up Social Security by raising deductibles from base salaries.

Things are so dismal for Democrats, Godot might be their leader if he was registered to vote.

Instead the liberal contingent has have fielded a group of wan-a-bee leaders who hope to represent their party in the 2028 election.

The worst of this group is Governor Gavin Newsom and former Senator-V.P. Kamala Harris.  The author of the word salad and the man

who has bankrupted his state have garnered less than 10% popularity in national opinion polls to lead the Donkey’s in 2028.

Even worse the “Golden State” duo are ahead in several opinion polls of possible contenders to head the Democratic ticket. This might sound like a typo but consider the competition?  

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC), is actually being touted to be the prospective Democratic leader.  If she successfully challenges Crying

Chuck Shimmer next year for his N.Y. Senate seat, AOC will undoubtably be a favorite to be the Progressive standard bearer in 2028.

One word of caution about AOC.  When she is not making prepared  remarks in front of a teleprompter, the former bar tender struggles

almost as much as Kamala in being coherent.

Other possible Demo leaders include:

Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan:  She is an experienced Progressive who recently hid from cameras when visiting President Trump

in the Oval Office. Although her politics are way to the Left, she is much more qualified to be President than most of her liberal colleagues.  

Josh Shapiro, the moderate Governor of Pennsylvania, who was the runner-up to be Kamala Harris’s running mate in 2024, is considered by

many Democrats to be Presidential timber.  Lack of other credible candidates may play into this assessment. 

Cory Booker, Senior Senator from New Jersey and Mayor Pete Buttigieg, former Secretary of Transportation under Biden, are among others

who might seek the Democratic crown.  Both of these gentlemen have been heavily immersed DEI issues at the expense of serving their constituents.

Their accomplishments in office can barely fill a blank post-it note!

Given this weak field, it appears the Democratic Party may have a long wait until their Godot surfaces. Meanwhile, liberal “Theatre of the Absurd” antics will continue.
