"I like pie. You like pie, too?" Barack Obama, October, 2008

Who doesn't like pie? It's as American as, well, Apple Pie.
But not Pie in the Sky. And that's what we're being served.
As if it wasn't a mistake the first time around, Liberals are choosing candidates based on anything but the content of their characters.
Or their backgrounds.
If you want to run for president, the Constitution doesn't discriminate.
Democrats do, but the Constitution doesn't.
Constitutionally you just have to be a natural born citizen, 35 years of age, and a U.S. resident for 14 years.
But if you want to be a Democrat candidate, you have to bring your "diversity" game.
The candidate has to be black, or gay, a woman, or a variation on that theme.
Last month Beto O'Rourke, whom Trump called "an Irish guy pretending to be Hispanic," was the chosen one.
All he had to do was look like Bobby Kennedy and push the Democrat's Socialist agenda.
Which he did.
He warned we had only 12 years before "there will be massive migrations of people from places that are going to be uninhabitable, or under the sea."
An interesting guy.
And persuasive. The Associated Press even wrote that he delivered a rally speech in "his native Spanish."
What the media didn't do was check out his background, but it came out anyway. As a 15-year-old, Beto wrote a story. It was about children.
"As I neared the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor until I heard the crashing of the two children on the hood, and then the sharp cry of pain from one of the two.
"I was so fascinated for a moment, that when I had stopped my vehicle, I just sat in a daze, sweet visions filling my head.
"As I drove home, I envisioned myself committing more of these 'acts of love'...The more people I killed, the longer my dreams were...I had killed nearly 38 people by the time of my twenty-third birthday, and each one was more fulfilling than the last."
An interesting guy.
The Democrat flavor of the month, this month, is a guy they call "Mayor Pete."
The media likes to call him that mostly because it sounds homey, but probably because they can't prononounce his last name. Buttigieg.
Pete fits their bill. He's gay, married, and, as reported by CNN, "He's charming."
He's a Rhodes scholar, and a military veteran. That's good.
And he's for all the right stuff: Open borders, abolishing the Electoral College, and believes climate change is a "national threat."
That's good. For Democrats.
And he says he's for capitalism, but thinks "the system needs changes."
So did Obama. And like Obama, the media didn't report that Communism played a major role in both their childhoods.
Mayor Pete's late father was a Marxist professor at Notre Dame who spoke fondly of the Communist Manifesto.
Pete's communications director, Lis Smith, chose not to comment on how his father influenced Pete's political beliefs.
Neither did Obama.
It's theatre.
Chicago's now former mayor Rahm Emanuel was "furious" over the Smollett-Foxx-Felony-Fix. But don't believe his outrage. Rahm was a snake when he was Obama's chief of staff, and he still is.
He is famous for acting out his core belief: "You never let a serious crisis go to waste...It's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." And Democrats have followed his advice.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller knew exactly what he was doing when he didn't exonerate President Trump of obstruction in his report.
This handed Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) a new crisis:
They could accuse Attorney General William Barr of concealing anti-Trump evidence in a report that had to be redacted;
And they could then demand that the fully unredacted report be released, a violation of law.
They're both lawyers. They know their request is a violation of law. But since the Mueller Report didn't say what they wanted it to say, they had to change focus.
Every now and again Democrats throw the quotable, but stupid Rep. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) into the mix to distract, when she flunks Basic Knowledge 101 again.
This time she did it during an MSNBC event, while discussing the merits of FDR's New Deal.
AOC was "furious," and accused the GOP of conspiring to pass the 22nd Amendment.
"They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt did not get re-elected," she sputtered.
And she was wrong. Again.
FDR died two years before the Amendment passed, and six years before it was ratified.
As Breitbart's John Nolte observed, "She gets so much wrong here, it's hard to fathom. But you have to give her credit. Even with the Jerry the Mouse voice, she manages to sound authoritative, while being so wrong."
All the Democrats do, John.
Hold the line, America.
